California Fish Grill San Jose

I come here every so often when I'm craving fish or now my toddler asks for fish. They have a pretty decent kids menu. My kid practically ate all the fish and half of the fries. I tried the catfish. It was cooked well and I got both garlic butter and cajun seasoning. Next time I would stick with the cajun seasoning. I also got the clam chowder. The flavor was decent but I wanted more clams and potatoes. I saw a few people come in for togo orders but my toddler and I liked having our food fresh in the restaurant.

When it's both kid-approved and hubby-approved, you know it's a winner in my book. Let's start with the star of the show--the Mediterranean Branzino. Absolute chef's kiss! The fish was perfectly light, flavorful, and paired with their side of feta tomatoes, which deserve their own round of applause. The salads were hearty and satisfying. We walked in and placed our order at a kiosk, and instead of calling a number, they call your name--it adds a personal and welcoming vibe. Though we didn't try it, their soda bar caught our eye, featuring artisanal flavors like black cherry and cream soda--definitely not your average soda fountain. The kids' menu was affordable and full of great options, making this spot perfect for families. Fresh ingredients, thoughtful details, and a little something for everyone--we'll definitely be back!

So unique, so consistent, so good. There is nothing else around like this place. The California Fish Grill offers a wide variety of grilled (and fried) fish also including both wild and farmed choices. It's the toss up between a fast food and family restaurant with very reasonable prices. The quality and taste is terrific and the sides are all wonderful. Order takers and counter workers are service oriented and friendly. Love this place ever since the beginning a couple of years ago.

It was time for CFG. The place has changed a little, new personell and they even have Kiosks at the front counter for ordering your food. They still have customer service employees to take your order and bring your plates out to those of us physically challenged. I was craving a fish sandwich and fish taco with some french fries. The place was nice and cool inside with the AC. The temp right now in NORCAL San Jose is 95 degrees outside. Nice and toasty. The sandwich was perfect and the tacos was excellent. Fries were a little cold but I still ate them anyways. I was hungry.
