“What a delight!! Everything was incredibly fresh and oh so tasty. Impeccable service to boot. What a gem. I’m so happy to have found this place. Guessing everyone is sleeping on this amazing nugget. Won’t be long til everyone is in the know ;)“

“Menu here changes by the season but we were thoroughly impressed by all the dishes we got - unique flavours that came together well.

Must try: their potato chips, beef tartare, ice cream sundae and the peanut milk (that was really unique)“

“Had San Francisco Cioppino (Mussels. Clams, Crab, Cod, Prawns, Scallops and Garlic Bread that was the bomb). Only giving 2 thumbs up as I only have 2. Great food, great service!“

“Waterbar is a solid option for an afternoon meal along the waterfront. The food is well-prepared, with a strong focus on fresh seafood, and the wine list offers a good variety to pair with the menu. Service is efficient and professional without feeling rushed. The space itself is clean and modern, with a comfortable atmosphere that works well for a relaxed lunch or early dinner. The location is a key feature—tables along the windows provide direct views of the San Francisco Bay Bridge, which adds to the overall experience.“

“The food was absolutely amazing ❤️😎💯💯💯“

“Good service, delicious food, nice atmosphere, nothing to complain about“

“Run, do not walk, to Luke’s and order the lobster, crab and shrimp roll sampler. Everything was amazing from the service to the food. The seafood was so fresh and tasty, the bread rolls are like Chinese egg bread and they top it off we chips (if you don’t like too much salt get the original sea salt ones).
We stopped for a late lunch and had to skip dinner!“

“Best Haitian food in the Bay Area hands-down! This was our first time trying Haitian food and it did not disappoint. Oxtail meat fell off the bone, jerk chicken spice was perfect. All the sides were more than what we could've asked for. Service was friendly, quick and welcoming. Will definitely return soon“

“Great bartender! Right on SF Bay.“

“What an amazing culinary experience! We had a three course meal. The waiter was very helpful, friendly and had great recommendations! I highly recommend this place if you're in San Francisco!“

“Amazing service and food!!!!“

“The food was very good and the place is cute with a great soundtrack but the portions are ridiculous. $8 for a single very small dumpling that's about half a bite's worth of food, for example. If that's your thing, it's delicious.“

“Hands down our favorite go-to restaurant when we are in the city going out to dinner, or when we are looking to take out-of-towners someplace truly unique, or when we are looking to bring the most delicious dinner home. The seafood is as fresh and high quality as it gets, served in the most unique way. Start with the chowder, packed with a wide variety of shellfish, spiced just right with a little kick to it, neither New England nor Manhattan, they have invented a new broth that is both rich and flavorful while being light. The Scallops are a must try. They simply melt in your mouth with a burst of complex flavors. The small plate tostadas meld flavors and textures you just can’t find anywhere else. Although it is located on Divisadero in a multi-block long string of restaurants, the atmosphere inside has the feel of the most comfortable neighborhood bistro. Impecable service all at a very reasonable price for the quality and the creativity and joy the food will bring to your palate.“

“An amazing restaurant with an interesting history and spectacular view of the Bay. Great service and food. And the Caprice is fully wheelchair accessible. Thanks for a great dining experience!“

“Had lunch at the little shucker. It is an interesting place. Lunch menu is simple and focused on seafood. All seafood dishes are fresh and cooked to perfection. The salad didn’t look too appealing but tasted delicious. Actually we loved everything we ordered. Our favorite appetizer is scallop tartare and Brussels sprouts. The roasted whole fish is also excellent. The portion is small but we don’t mind. They definitely deserve a five star rating for food. However the plates were really shabby and worse than those used in school cafeterias. I would not use these for my dogs or cats. The decorations are also very bland. I think the purpose might be to create a casual and relaxing atmosphere. Chairs and benches are not comfortable. I would probably come for a quick bite or a glass of wine but not a real sit down meal with friends.“

“The Peking duck was fabulous and juicy! We got a half, which we were surprised how little it was. We should have had a full. You have to reserve the duck before you get there.

We had a meat roll I think it was. It was amazing! My friends mom doesn’t like spicy so we got this roll. Highly recommend! Lots of veggies and excellent sauce!“

“The vibes outside on a beautiful day were lovely, and everyone seemed really nice, but spending ~$125 and feeling hungry afterwards was a bit of a bummer. (Fish and chips, salad, 2 chowders, some raw and some grilled oysters. In retrospect the move might have been to order some more fries for the calories.) Came here with partner & parents and sat outside. One issue was that the music was way too loud to be able to have a conversation without yelling. After waiting a while for raw oysters checked in with waitstaff and found they’d misdelivered the order to a different table. (It was a super busy night.) I wasn’t a huge fan of the salad; it was small but pricy and could’ve used some citrus to brighten it up. Fish and chips were delicious.“

“First class operation“

“This place was recommended to us by a bartender at Mr Bings and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious. And the servers/owners were so friendly. Highly recommend.“

“Had a reservation, but a physical problem in late afternoon required cancellation. However there is no telephone number and no way to let restaurant know -- and a default charge of $40.

Apparently this isn't restaurant policy. They contacted us within an hour and refunded the money -- and said they're looking for another reservation service.“

“Delicious food and cocktails.“

“Excellent food and service, and quiet ambience, so you can still hear yourself think.“

“The most amazing service and food“

“Good food & friendly staff!👍🏽“

“Classic San Francisco restaurant. Great service. Classic martini 🍸❤️“

“Today was my first time going there and I got an excellent service“

“This place is fire. Everything I've tried has been bomb - shrimp super burrito, aquachiles, fish tacos, chicken tacos, carnitas tacos. The fish tacos are something special. The owner (I'm assuming) is also the nicest dude ever. Definitely come through this spot!“

“Birthday dinner for grandson here is meaningful and nice with large portion and we'll made steak and lobsterz. My sole fish plate is tasty N really well done although the mash is not so smooth . Would prefer the vegetables to be more than just carrot with beans..“

“My go to. Constantly delish for the past 30 years.“

“The breakfast quiche and the bread pudding.“

“I must say i had high hopes but the meal was tasteless but my friends had too much salt. I wanted to like it. Wont return, wont recommend. ☹“

“Best meal of my 14 day trip to California. wonderful atmosphere, great service and delicious food. I wish you had a restaurant in St Petersburg, FL.“

“I am travelling for a couple days in San Francisco. Always want to try the American Chinese food. They speaks in Cantonese made me comfortable. I got a shrimp with lobster source rice in Gourment Carousel. This was pretty delicious. And the size is big. Pretty much 2 meals for me.“

“A wonderful experience and fantastic food! The view is also great ❤️ oh and the service too! We got the Dungeness crab, wonderful sourdough bread with a beautiful creamy, tomato sauce, crab, macaroni, and cheese, and very tender wonderful calamari.“

“I ❤️ these guys chicken catfish💕💕💕“

“Another happy accident — and one of my favorite kinds of San Francisco stories.

We were originally headed somewhere else on the street, but they were closed between lunch and dinner. After a little wandering, we stumbled into Pacific Catch and immediately felt good about it. The interior is warm and bright, which isn't always a given in SF, and the happy hour menu is genuinely impressive for this city.

Everything we ordered landed. The Brussels sprouts were excellent, and our waiter steered us toward the spicy tuna roll — great call. The Coconut Shrimp and Tuna Poke bowl were so good too. Service was attentive and prompt throughout.

Honestly, this wasn't a place I had on my radar at all, but it completely won me over. Next time I'm bringing friends.“

“Staff is always on point. Good food. Always comes out promptly.“
