We love Hog Island and have been going for years. The people who work there are nice. However, the service just isn't good. We had lunch there today and they were struggling with timing the food - and most importantly - it's almost as if they were refusing to buss our table when we were done. One our way out - I mentioned it to the manager/hostess - the one with the red hair - and she really did not seem to care - at all. She said they have 3 bus boys. I didn't see one on the floor. I asked 3 times for our table to be bussed so we could open birthday presents - and they simply would not clear and wipe down our table. Very strange. I hope they train more on this. They charge a 5% WELLNESS SURCHARGE - and a 20% automatic gratuity - and I don't mind that if the service is good. But it was not good - and frustrated me.

Great waitress and servers! Great food! Concerned for the Hostess . She was easily overwhelmed. Inconsistent. Not nice to several patrons. Was shocked a bit by how she offered seats to some but not others with no consistency.

At the Larkspur location, I ordered the clam chowder because other people recommended it, but it turned out to be very watery, almost like water, as you can see in picture 6. Later I realized I had eaten at the same restaurant in Napa before and even recommended their clam chowder back then. But this time, the two of us spent $180 and still weren’t satisfied. The seafood stew was basically just tomato-based seafood, nothing special, and even though we ordered bread separately, they forgot to serve it. For the oysters, we got 12 and picked two of the sweeter varieties, but they weren’t sweet at all—just salty, though with a strong creamy flavor. We also ordered grilled oysters in every flavor, but honestly the raw ones tasted better. Maybe this branch just isn’t that good.

Service was great! We ate outside. Food was good but because of the windy day, got cold quickly.

Came here on a hot day for oysters, shrimp and grits, and a glass of Prosecco. The oysters were excellent — some of the best I’ve had. Hog Island remains my favorite spot for oysters in town!

Clam chowder and seafood stew were very tasty. We filled the bucket to the rim with shells. Secret menu of fish and chips was unlocked after Roxy our bar tender helped us with the order. It’s crispy outside and tender inside. Enjoyed their Arnold Palmer with the home made lemonade. The grilled oysters were excellent as well with the Paris butter and chipotle bourbon butter. Tasted drastically different.

Food was excellent as is typical at Hog Island, though service was rough. Waitstaff at this location was less than stellar, and were neither friendly nor responsive. If you don't look like their typical clientele, look forward to being cold-shouldered.

Good places for oysters with less crowds but selection for other menu items are limited compared to the one at SF Ferry Building
