With its lifebuoys and marine trinkets hanging on the wall, the decor of this restaurant resembles that of a sea wolf den. Take time to sit at the bar, shucking Santa Barbara shrimp or enjoying lobster rolls with lemon aioli and celery, before being seated at your table. Aside from oysters and other seafood, Son of A Gun serves fine, meticulous preparations that remind us that we're near the ocean. Good value for money.

Ordered 2 large Lobster rolls for pick up. I’m being really honest here by saying we were disappointed. They are not your usual lobster roll. They’re more lobster salad with an overpowering taste of mayonnaise. I love lobster rolls and I only wish the menu stated that they’re not the usual Lobster meat on a roll. For $39 each…I was expecting better than the quality we received. Off to find a different place for legitimate lobster rolls.

Food was ok but overpriced for what it was.
Everything was ok until we got the bill. 18% “service fee” added to the bill. Requested that it be removed but they refused. Most restaurants that do this will remove it upon request. These fees are usually described as something that benefits the employees. I would’ve thought my continued patronage plus my generally generous tip would benefit the employees, but when it’s foisted upon me in such a manner, we don’t return. If there was something special about Son of a Gun we’d bite the bullet, but alas, I’m afraid there’s not…

This is a great restaurant. Consistency is one of the most valuable aspects apart from an amazing culinary experience. We’ve been eating here for 4 years and never disappointed.
Not fancy, but with style.
The trout amandine is very good. As well as the chicken sandwich!!!
Totally recommend this place.

Yeah, this place was a bummer. %18 percent service charge on top of gratuity? You pay your employees through your profits, not by passing the buck to your guests. Bad biz guys. Not great for your servers.

In practical terms, that means if one tips the servers 20% since they couldn't afford to live otherwise, you end up paying 148% of the cost of the meal.
It could, therefore, be possible to assume that the 18% goes to the employees, and the owners most likely have their corporation pay themselves the owners a salary, the owners are giving themselves an EXTRA 18%.
This might not be true to some extent but, one has to wonder.
For me, go there? Hahaha
