Fodor's Review:

Arrive here just as local music lovers are folding their napkins and heading off for the 8 PM curtain at the nearby opera house and you'll snag a table and some perfectly fresh seafood. Much of the fish—Pacific bluenose, yellowfin tuna, swordfish—is simply grilled and served with a choice of sauces from beurre blanc to tomato salsa. A pile of crisp, thin Belgian frites rides alongside the grilled offerings. Among desserts, the crème brûlée is legendary. Brass coat hooks, white tablecloths, a long bar, and a mix of banquettes and tables define the traditional look of this seafood stronghold.

Easy to locate, Hayes St. Grill serves excellent, simple fish with a choice of sauce as their signature. Salads are a delight. The room is rather spare in decor and can get a bit noisy if the crowd is large, but service is perfect. The after 7PM prix fix dinner is a real deal.

terrific seafood and very good service. We arrived just after the crush for the performance and were treated to a quiet evening. The petrale sole was delicious as was the tuna; salads also top notch.
