In summer, as many as 1,000 diners a day pass through the Tides Wharf. In the early '60s, it was a set for Hitchcock's The Birds, but don't expect the weather-beaten, board-and-batten luncheonette you saw in the movie -- a $6-million renovation gentrified, enlarged, and redecorated the place beyond recognition. The best tables have ocean views, and the fare is what you might expect: oysters on the half shell, clam chowder, and all the fish that the owners can dredge up from the cold blue waters (they send their own boat out into the Pacific daily). Prime rib, pasta, and poultry are available as well. A fish-processing plant, snack bar, and gift shop are next door.
