The restaurant was extremely clean and well-lit and the service was attentive and kind. We left with full bellies as I couldn’t stop eating one more taste and with the generous portions we have some leftovers for tomorrow I am already looking forward too! Can’t wait to try more of their dishes!“

“Loved it! Our waitress was amazing and super friendly. The food was awesome. We are so happy to have found this place. We had the raw oysters on half shells our favorite was the satori, followed by hogisland highwater, sunset then the golden nugget. We had to try the clam chowder and it did not disappoint. The fish and chips was absolutely delicious as well. Highly recommend and plan to return next time we visit.“

“The food was outstanding! We however went for our anniversary meal, and were wisked in and out in 50 minutes! Plates were wisked away seconds after they came, we literally twice had the food in our hands mid-bite when plates were taken away, some with food still in them. We tried to slow it down and keep food in the plates so we could talk, but as soon as we lifted a piece, whish- gone and another plate in its place. Turning over tables overtly or bad timing, I'm not sure.“

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

“I promise you the lobster roll is worth it. We love to get the seafood flight roll combo because you get a little bit of everything plus chips (or sub fries) and a drink! Don't expect to get full unless you have a small appetite but its worth the try. The staff is really friendly and the vibes are always calm. Tables and the area in general is kept nice and clean.“

“Lovely Peking Duck experience, highly recommend. Visited with a group of 6 to celebrate a birthday and it was a great choice. Each dish was well presented, rich in flavours and felt very fresh. I was pleasantly surprised about their XLB too!“

“5-Star Review

T’chaka – A Taste of Haiti is a fantastic spot for authentic Haitian flavors! The food is flavorful, comforting, and beautifully prepared, with a great balance of spices and fresh ingredients. Everything feels homemade and full of character. The service was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Definitely a 5-star experience and a place I’d happily visit again!“

“Great bartender! Right on SF Bay.“

“Great experience, had walked by this place and someone leaving seeing me reading the menu insisted that I try it out. Wasn’t disappointed, great menu where seafood is the star of the show, recommend the aguachili appetizer and fish and chips. Will return for other menu items. Great service, reservations via resy recommended“

“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.“

“A charming true SF institution that feels like ur in center of culture and history! The authentic jazz music really makes the experience, where you’re right in the best seats anywhere u sit. U really feel the way sf was bustling with artistry and interesting conversations happening around u with this ambiance. The food didn’t need to be great with the music and environment being so special, yet the meal was so delicious! The clam chowder is one of the best in the city, the prawns with horseradish will make u come back, then the steak is better than the really pricey steak houses! Then, service to top it off was so attentive and fast!

Honestly one of the best all around dinners in so many ways! Gonna come back as a local and bringing everyone!!!“

“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!“

“Wonderful hospitality and warmth coming from the Host Ty Do letting me know more about the Cambodian culture. And BIG Wow on the Sea Food dish: 637. SALMON IN GARLIC BASIL WINE SAUCE : Poached salmon topped w/ roasted garlic, basil, & black mushroom in reduced wine sauce. It's divine! It's my new hot restaurant spot in The Little Town of Alameda.“

“We had shrimp cocktail, French onion soup, wedge salad, 20 oz ribeye with a baked potato, and a banoffee tart for dessert. We split each course and the waitstaff had the chef plate it all separately for us which made sharing easier.“

“A wonderful restraunt operated by a James Beard Award winning chef and a great waiting staff.
The food was incredible and even made chicken nuggets a gourmet dish with amazing flavor and plating.
The crown jewel of our experience was our waiter Brian, a 20-year veteran, who knew everything about the area, the menu, and anything you could think to ask him. Would highly recommend.“

“We started with the Chips & Dip as a small appetizer. The chips were crunchy and flavorful, and the sour cream was fluffy and not too heavy.

Next, we ordered oysters and the tuna melt. The oysters were so fresh and delicious that we ended up ordering another dozen. The tuna melt was also really good, served on a sourdough roll that made it quite easy to eat.

The service was excellent, the server was friendly and welcoming throughout our visit.

Overall, we were really satisfied with everything. We were just looking for a few small bites before dinner.“

“Love this little spot. We were able to walk right in, but reservations are recommended. We did more tapas style with several items: 🦪 flight, crudo, smoked trout dip, chips, and homemade focaccia. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. Excellent service and good vibes. I would definitely go back and try more“

“First class operation“

“Great dim sum. Friendly service. Great location in the fisherman’s wharf area where locals and tourists can enjoy the food and the scenary“

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

“I’d gatekeep this place, if I was evil. Fantastic establishment. Oysters are sourced for flavor and not for brand; I’d say they have the best selection in the local area. Food is cooked to perfection and with care. Recipes are Californian, except for - and don’t sleep on - their Buffalo (NY) options such as the fleck and the wings. Excellent stuff. Service is chill and wonderful backyard.“

“The best Italian I’ve ever had. Great service great drinks as well.“

“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.“

“The most amazing service and food“

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

“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.“

“Good food & friendly staff!👍🏽“

“Delicious food and cocktails.“

“Overall, it's a good valiant effort to imitate a British Chippy, for Americans it might be ok, but for British folks looking for the real thing, might be a let-down. Still, it's worth a bite.“

“Wow! This place is amazing! I'm extremely picky about my Mexican food. As someone that grew up on authentic food from michoacan, it's very difficult for me to find decent Mexican food. This place exceeded my expectations by a long shot! The tortilla was fire, the salsas were fire, the meats/seafood was fire! The fish and shrimp tacos tasted like the ones I had in Ensenada growing up! The service was absolutely outstanding. Very friendly, and extremely attentive! This will absolutely be one of my go-to's!“

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