“What a great place, a hidden jewel in the city! Fresh fish, fresh chips and guacamole… Everything was perfect! DELICIOUS❣️ We will return…“

“Great waiter, friendly staff , food was exceptional, warm popovers brought to the table with herbed butter , I had pan fried crispy seasoned skin-on steelhead Salmon with fennel & leeks and Romesco sauce on mashed potatoes , it seems as though mashed potatoes are the thing with fish now a days, while I prefer veggies or rice of some sort , atmosphere is very cosy, nice but casual, like wearing a jacket with a withe shirt and jeans with flip flops, waiter brought me a fuzzy blanket, because it feels like winter here, it was slightly overcast, sun broke through about 3pm, walked around town, shopped at the local food market, it’s a thing for me to check out local grocery stores, finished with a cafe latte at Equator coffee, hit the spot! Tomorrow Inn at the Tides, Bodega Bay.“

“Really great spot with delicious and healthy options. I went for the mixed grill, and the portions were generous and satisfying. The Seedlip non-alcoholic drinks were an unexpected and delightful surprise!“

“Great service, food, and drinks!

Let me just start by saying anchovies are not my favorite fish. However the anchovy bar has absolutely changed my opinion.

We started with the oysters, they had three varieties available so we tried each type, I didn't realize how different they could be.

The pinxos where prepared with the anchovies I am familiar with, but the olive and peppers told a nice little story.

Next, I had to try the anchovy toast. When they set it on the table I saw a thick slice of bread topped with shimmering anchovies. The first bite made me realize I was eating something special. An absolute umami dream.

I asked our server about the preparation of the anchovies and found out the anchovies were locally caught and cured in house, but the real trick is they needed to start the curing process within 3 hours of the catch to preserve the pristine flavor.

You should also order the warm foccacia with butter and garum salt.

Don't skip the anchovy toast!!“

“Went to Popi’s for the first time for HH. Awesome food / drink options for a very reasonable price. Quick, friendly service, delicious snacks on the HH menu (oysters, mussels, and baby fried shrimp sandos). Got some bread and butter to dip the bread in the mussel broth. Sat outside on a beautiful (but windy) day. Highly recommend!“

“Liholiho is a fantastic restaurant! The space is modern and beautifully designed, with an open kitchen where you can watch everything being prepared, which adds a lot of energy and transparency to the dining experience.

The service was very friendly, attentive, and quick. The cocktails were excellent, and even the non-alcoholic one I ordered was made with care and tasted great.

The food was outstanding. The bun with beef tongue was extraordinary, the tuna tartare and ceviche were perfectly balanced and fresh, and the shrimps with crispy rice were especially memorable. All dishes showed creativity, originality, and were prepared with high quality ingredients.

For three people, including first and main courses, drinks, and one dessert, the bill came to $260, which I found fair for this level of quality. The only minus point is that the restaurant does not offer coffee, which would have been a nice way to finish the meal.

Overall, I really enjoyed everything at Liholiho. Highly recommended, and I hope I will get to return again!“

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

“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!“

“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!!!!“

“Little Shucker is a charming seafood spot with a cozy, comfortable vibe. The baked oysters and the whole roasted fish are absolute must-orders—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The sauce is on the side and I’d say keep it that way. The Big Shucker platter was both impressive in presentation and fun to share, making it a highlight of the meal. The crab cake, however, was the least memorable dish for me.“

“Hermoso servicio y buenas personas.“

“Seafood Heaven!

Portofino Seafood Restaurant is a cozy spot on Grant Street in North Beach, San Francisco. With an old-fashioned charm, the menu is displayed on a hand-painted board instead of a website.

During our visit, owner Frankie Gaetano Balistreri greeted us warmly. Frankie and his wife run the restaurant, creating a friendly atmosphere that makes guests feel like family.

Our meal started with flavorful clam chowder, followed by a perfect beet salad. I had the Seafood Risotto with fresh seafood in tomato sauce, while my significant other enjoyed tender grilled halibut. Both dishes showcased the kitchen's skill.

We ended with a light tiramisu. Portofino excels among North Beach's Italian restaurants, especially for seafood lovers. Dishes like roasted sardines, sole almandine, and cioppino—a tangy tomato broth stew with shrimp, scallops, mussels, and squid—are standout options.

Frankie and his wife's passion for exceptional dining is evident, making Portofino a beloved spot in North Beach. It's the perfect place for a memorable meal in a warm, welcoming setting.“

“The most amazing service and food“

“everything about the restaurant, from the heated outdoor dining, people who work there, the food so deliciously great especially the one that prepares and cook it, THE CHEFS, amazingly incredible they are and not so pricey above all.“

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

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

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience visiting this place. It’s a new restaurant, open for just a little over a month. I stumbled upon it by chance on Google Maps while looking for somewhere that serves fresh, delicious oysters late in the evening.

When I walked in, I was truly amazed by the atmosphere, the interior, and the unique style that filled the space. Looking at the menu made it even more exciting, as the restaurant offers far more than just fresh oysters and seafood — the variety of dishes is impressive. Every plate that came out of the kitchen was a delight and a surprise. The subtle layers of flavor, the elegant presentation, and the unexpected notes that gave a whole new perception of taste were simply outstanding.

The service was excellent, with light background music that perfectly complemented the ambiance. I can confidently say this place is a solid 5 out of 5, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.

A special thank you to the incredible chef Felix, who came out at the end of the evening, offered us a kind gesture, and treated us to his signature dessert. Honestly, it was one of those rare moments where you can feel the immense love poured into every detail, every action, and every touch that makes this restaurant truly exceptional.“

“In at 6pm. Excellent, efficient service. Great food. A bit pricey but it is SF. Packed to rafters!! Actually good to see, makes the world seem normal again. We had a table right by the bar - over the top noisy, but it is a small place. Be back every time we can.“

“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.“

“Great outdoor dining. Great food ! Great service !“

“Wonderful restaurant, Absolutely outstanding experience! This Chinese roast duck restaurant delivers perfection in every detail. The duck is incredibly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and carved with impressive skill right at the table. The flavors are rich but never greasy, and the accompanying pancakes, scallions, and sauces are all beautifully balanced.

The service is warm, attentive, and efficient, and the staff make you feel truly welcome. The atmosphere is elegant yet comfortable—perfect for both family gatherings and special occasions.“

“Classic delicious Chinese food in an old fashioned Chinese restaurant. After a brief holiday Yin has returned to bring her beloved neighborhood restaurant and cuisine back to life!!! Just like before Dinner and Lunch!

Back again and its October 6 2025
And after while the CRISPY CHICKEN is back on the Menu!!!
I came to Celebrate the Moon Festival tonight and got the Crispy Chicken and beef with Bitter Melon as well as Kung Pao Shrimp!!! All so delicious!
I asked several friends to come but they were all too busy. They missed a fabulous Dinner!!!“

“I read all the wonderful reviews on the actual website, and a friend and I decided to meet there for dinner last night (3/5/25) I was excited about trying out a new spot. The ambience was nice the restaurant was lively and surprisingly busy for a Wednesday night. Our food arrived in a timely manner however, our Server never return to ask if there was anything else needed. Although the crab chowder bowl was tasty, I would have like a little pepper and perhaps some Tabasco to further bring out the flavors. Unfortunately I couldn't get the Servers attention. The garlic noodles were definitely garlicky which wasn't the problem. There was way to much butter/olive oil with no other type of seasoning leaving them bland. The real issue was how the Server popped up and started reaching around the table to remove things as if we were being rushed out. She came back with dessert tray of which we declined then proceed to bring check and clear what she could away. A large group sitting nearby was rushed out after another large group was escorted to their table. Most started trying to finish their wine and gather their things which was obviously awkward for the group that appeared who had to turn around and give them room to leave. Our Server offered to-go containers and appeared impatient that we weren't leaving. Our entire dinner from beginning to end was 50 mins( with my friend trying to eat a whole crab which takes time) and we felt very rushed. Overall our experience was just "ok" therefore I wouldn't rush back anytime soon. We did however appreciate the 1 hour parking validation.“

“Love the food and the service. Staff are all so professional, courteous and diligent! 5 Stars!“

“wonderful service, reasonably priced menu with a romantic atmosphere that was perfect for our last night out on the town. Lobster was delicious! the seafood pasta... perfect! highly recommend!“

“The happy hour ( aloha hour) is stacked with yummy things. The coconut shrimp was absolutely perfect.
Good margaritas.
New updates location with twice the sw footage. Amazing radiant heaters for each table perfect for those romantic or date nights.

I've lived here a few years and never been. Will be coming more often especially for the spicy steak tacos. So tender and moist. Sorry. No photos. Ate too quickly. Here is a picture of the yummy pineapple beer.“

“Need 250 oysters for your annual Blue Angels Rooftop Oyster Shuck (like we do every year)? This is the place to get them - the first spot on our shopping roundup that morning. There's a reason they call it Fisherman's Wharf, and it's not for the t-shirts or car break-ins. CSC is our go-to destination for wholesale seafood purchasing.“

“French Fries as a side are not on our menu. I politely informed this man that I could not accommodate a side order of French fries, I understand that is ridiculous to people, but no one has ever given me so much push back before. I politely informed these people that I couldn’t do that and they wouldn’t take no for an answer, I do understand their perspective. Their review was so mean and no they don’t feel any real empathy, or they would not have posted that. They insisted on getting their way and called it ridiculous and were intimidating to me, yes you bullied someone and they cried. Cashiers are people too. I promise if you visit this location so will be honest with what I can provide you and give you my best. This interaction actually stood out as the single worst interaction I’ve had with any customer in 7 months, because they were MEAN. To go out of your way to leave a one star review because you didn’t get your way is petty to say the least. I hope everyone is blessed and having a beautiful life Including Mr. Kudszus. I understand not everyone is kind and people like to make others feel bad. I love to make people happy with what I CAN do, if you are respectful to people they usually don’t cry. Take care everyone, thank you for my first negative review! Some people wake up and spread pain. I spread joy and move on to a new day.

“Stopped in with the fam (party of 6), place was empty. Tried to order 4 lobster rolls and 2 fries — nothin’ crazy. The waitress looked like a deer in headlights, started talkin’ ‘bout how she’s all alone, then bless her heart, she broke down cryin’ right there.

We felt awful for her, but y’all… that ain’t how a restaurant should run. Sure thing we left. Hands down the strangest, most uncomfortable place we ever stepped foot in.”“

“After wandering at Pier 39 we got hungry and decided to try this place. We ordered fish n chips, crab cakes. Both are delicious and fresh. Counter service, with occasional visits from the pigeons. We were sitting the stools and they walked right under us, which made it fun experience. The turtle sourdough bread is from the Boudin bakery next door.“

“The view of the Golden Gate Bridge on the window side is a highlight. Food was okay, portions were a bit small. The waitress is courteous and helpful. When it came to payment we were a bit surprised. At first the tip for everyone totaled about 17 dollars. When we wanted to split the bill between three, she brazenly asked each of us to tip us $9, which ended up being $10 more...“

“You can enjoy a regular clam chowder and fish and chips here at a reasonable price.
The chowder is good, but you can find better ones at other restaurants in Pier 39.
The view is nice, though you should expect a few birds to join you while you eat, the staff do their best to chase them away whenever they get inside the restaurant.“

“We stayed in a nearby hotel for 2 nights and came across Pacific Catch as something of a default option when we were tired and just wanted a quick, relatively healthy meal. What a delight, this place totally exceeded my expectations. It was so good we came back again on our second night.\n\nThe food is extremely fresh (I had the ahi sashimi each night, once as a share plate, the second time in a bowl) and tasty. The service was excellent.\n\nI would definitely go back if I am ever in the area again.“

“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.“

“Fast and friendly service, great atmosphere 👍“

“Yesterday, my sister and I had the BEST table at the Iconic Spinnaker Seafood Restaurant in Sausalito - the at table at the far corner facing San Francisco! WOW - What a beautiful and clear day, with just a 'hint' of fog over the Golden Gate Bridge to the ocean side. The food was Fabulous - mine was a 'classic' "Crab Louie," with lots and lots of wonderful crab, and Tiramisu for dessert! Our servers were Alex and Francisco ("Francisco:))" who attended to our every need - even politely and notably giving extra time, as I was Determined to enjoy EVERY bite of my more than delicious, Crab Louie!! With a menu that is FULL of Classic Bay Area Seafood offerings, an Iconic setting and ambiance, and Incredible view of San Francisco Bay, Golden Gate Bridge and The City, I would change nothing about my visit! Thank You Spinnaker for a More Than Memorable Bay Area Experience!!“
