Roe Seafood Market

My boyfriend and I love to come here for a date night spot. The ambiance is so cute and vibey. Last time I had the scallops and it was delicious. My boyfriend had the fish special with veggies and it was tasty. Our server was really nice and made sure we ordered exactly what we wanted.

They say location is everything! I've been taking strolls down 2nd street for years but this was the first time I ate at Roe. As much as I like the shops, bars and steak houses Roe is properly on the outskirts (better yet the end) of 2nd street. Live Jazz, awesome menu filled with plenty of seafood favorites, a welcoming and knowledgeable staff plus Happy Hour! Definitely a true gem.
So how did it taste?

Grand Manier & Coke - I normally don't comment on my drinks especially a simple one. However, the bar tender did all the little things. Asked if I wanted it neat, on the rock, with a wedge and even what type of glass I wanted. If you're like me, those things matter. Definitely took the guessing out of it and I couldn't have been more pleased.

Ciopinno - this California original dish had all the things that you want from a stew. A great bite, a good blend of wine and tomato paste in the broth and a selection of crustaceans. I just with there were a few less shells to highlight the fish and a bit of heat. The sourdough roll, though abundant, was a bit much without a steak knife. Awesome to sop up the broth once the seafood is gone.

Peruvian Scallops - though chilled, they pack a nice punch with (what I believe is a wasabi lemon mixture). Not a bad first bite.

If you're in the area and want a different pace of a night out, Roe did not disappoint. Not only was this a beautiful venue but the live Jazz definitely made me feel like I was on another side of town. The food was light enough to consider dessert.

Great Job Roe

After participating in the Yelp Elite Experience at Foodologie across the street, my wife and I decided to check out Roe. I didn't realize it was a place on my Yelp list of places to check out so it worked out nicely. After mistakenly walking into the restaurant side, we were told takeout orders were placed at the fish market next door. We were pleasantly welcomed by the young lady at the cash register. After perusing the menu, my wife chose the fish burrito with raw (poke style) salmon while I selected 2 of the fried fish tacos.

I would have given them a 5 star rating but we found after returning home that they had made the burrito with grilled salmon rather than the poke style which we had ordered and confirmed with the girl who took our order. It was tasty but not what my wife wanted so that is always an irritation when restaurants make these types of mistakes. I did enjoy my tacos which were made using blue corn tortillas. They probably would have been amazing if I had been able to eat them right away instead of 35 minutes later after driving back home. Still, they were very good. I was impressed with the quality of the tortilla chips that came with our order. Thick, crunchy, and tasty. Much better than the Tostitos types of chips of chips that some restaurants give you that are thin and fall apart when you try to dip them in guacamole or even salsa. The cups of salsa that come with their food were flavorful and had just the right amount of kick that doesn't overpower the food.

Parking is readily available on Claremont rather than 2nd street. Claremont is one way so you won't be able to turn onto the street from 2nd. You'd need to enter from south of 2nd street.

IDK really? Seafood stew with a baguette $20. But the seafood stew is eh and the baguette is tiny,
Flavorless and mediocre. Not anything impressive and there are lots of other options in the neighborhood. PASS.

Excellent service, seafood very good and fresh, and a lot of options on the menu. Definitely will be back

I went to the sit-down restaurant side of Roe (instead of their fish market, which I do plan on trying eventually) for a nice dinner during the weekend and it was a nice experience.

Located on 2nd Street, it's definitely very busy, so don't expect to find parking immediately - I came on my electric scooter, so they were kind enough to let me put it behind where I was seated.
There's indoor and patio seating, and on this particular day, I opted for patio given how nice the weather was.

I ordered the fish and chips, as well as the Peruvian scallop (one piece). The portions were decent, however, it felt like the food was a little bland overall, hence the one less star.
The standout dish was certainly the scallop, although I was a tad disappointed it was only one piece for the price - my fault; I should have asked before ordering it but I had some serious scallop cravings and don't regret getting it.

The hostess, waiters, and servers are really friendly but not in a hovering kind of way, so definitely appreciate that.

If you're in the neighbourhood and craving seafood, I'd give it a shot - I hear the happy hour food and drinks are worth it.

Dined at Roe on a Sunday around 2pm. We were surprised to learn they were only offering brunch food and had live music. We were seated quickly but had a long wait before a server came over to greet us. We ordered chilaquiles and ceviche. The chilaquiles were not authentic one bit, with the sauce being more of a tomato sauce than salsa. The ceviche was delicious.

The live music could have been nice if the volume wasn't so loud. This made us have to lean in across the table and raise our voices to have any sort of conversation.

With so many other restaurants options on 2nd Street, I don't see myself returning to Roe.

Pro tip: Do not plan a brunch date here because it's way too loud to have a conversation.

We had such an incredible time! Amazing place and delicious food!
We went for dinner with our husky and sat in the covered patio. Service was excellent!

We went for happy hour at 330p. We did mostly happy hour items with the exception of the Peruvian scallops (definitely recommend! The yuzu basil sauce is something I wish I could recreate!)

We ordered the Peruvian scallops, shrimp cocktail and ceviche tostada. Not featured were the happy hour oysters, tacos (mahi, cod and shrimp) and pomegranate martinis. The martini was perfectly flavored so I had two. Oh, and the dessert - a chocolate mousse but was called something else.

Staff was friendly & attentive although they were pretty busy. 1000% coming back!

The food was excellent as well as the cocktails. loved the oysters, so fresh. The ambience was beautiful and service was friendly.
