31 Best Seafood Restaurants near Pacifica

“My son took me here for lunch - we’d been meaning to try it. We were very pleased - amazing view with tiered tables so other guests aren’t blocking the view. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious and nicely presented. As a nice addition, there was a pianist playing while we dined which added to the ambience. We will come back because it was such a nice treat. One of those places that makes me love living in California!“

“The food is amazing! Armando is a FANTASTIC server!!“

“Superb 4 star in my book.“

“Food is good and good size portions“

“Oh my god! Absolutely love this place!! The food was amazing, the miso soup hit, and the service was just the cherry on top. We had the lovely old woman who served us with amazing humor and sass, it was just lovely interacting with her. The food was so good, we had the vegetable tempura dinner (amazing), the Charlie Brown roll (real crab!!!), the Kani Kosen (bomb), and the spicy tuna roll (I’m not a huge raw fish fan but the flavor was great)!“

“5star...best homemade food, prices and portions on the Coast!“

“Cute spot. Love the Halloween decor they put up. Came here upon recommendations from someone who used to live the area. Have been here twice now. I don't eat Mexican food often, so my opinion may be biased, but this is probably one of my default Mexican places to go to. If I only had one fault, while it might just be due to the price of rent in the area, the price is a little more than I would expect. And after confirming with the person who referred, the location does seem to have raised prices over the years. Unfortunate, but does not deter from stopping by for quick and good burritos and qusadillas whenever in the area“

“i seldom dine-in in this place but always when i crave for some pizza and especially a great delicious pasta VIVA ITALIANO IS THE BEST @ pacifica, ca. They served always the food freshly cooked and it’s really delicious and the people that worked there are friendly. Worth everything!“

“Popped in this new place on a recently extra-hot day. We ordered fish’n’chips and the Baja tacos. They use a gluten-free pea flour batter (if I recall), and it’s a nice touch. I didn’t miss the gluten at all. The place has a full bar too. They were showing a baseball playoff game on one of 2 or 3 TVs. Will definitely go back and try some other menu options.“

“Jeanette was outstanding a true professional. Whenever we travel from Connecticut we stop in . We will be back in May and ask for Jeanette ahead of time . Thanks Excellent service“

“My fiancé and I found your restaurant Saturday afternoon while sightseeing the city. We were so impressed with the atmosphere and hospitality. This place is the best for nice afternoon seafood lunch! Thank you so much for the delicious meal.“

“The taste is very good and the ingredients are very fresh. I recommend the lobster and seafood bisque, which tastes great.“

“One of our favorite places“

“Best poke in mission district.“

“Their chef Ramzy openly admits to tampering with the food of Jewish customers and ownership does nothing. Avoid this place and the Nazis who run it.“

“Fish N Chips was delicious. Fish was crispy and tasty on the outside. Flaky and hot on the inside. They were perfect (for me) with just a squirt of lemon on them! Fries were crispy and hot. Meal came quickly. Service was prompt once I got a table and friendly. Thanks to all the staff there! They were great!“

“Loved every second! From the Gracious hostess who welcomed us early at the bar to the lovely waitstaff ... and damn. That food! Incredible flavors and textures. Just joyous. Best Italian I've had in SF in a long while and the old school ambience... people eating lustily and having fun. No one taking food photos. Too busy eating. Perfect“

“The old Ketch Joanne's is now Ketch Harbour. My husband and I went for our 35th Anniversary. We had the best meal and best time. Food was excellent . So tasty. The restaurant has new interior that fits with the area. The restaurant is very clean. With a view of the docs it's an excellent spot and not as expensive as every place around there. So nice to jave this restaurant back.“

“Great place for fish and chips or a burger!“

“This place is a little overrated, some things are good, some are not.

So the cons:

-The tortillas and chips are pretty weak. If you use cheap gmo Guerrero tortillas, it's an automatic loss of a point for me. You have la Palma tortillas around the corner, La Finca and Mi Rancho close by. So, for what they charge for tacos, they should be handmade, but good quality at minimum. They can work on the chips, too.

-Fish tacos were alright. Nothing memorable, but a nice portion. Better tortillas and more veggies, please.

-They dont have a happy hour. While everyone has happy hours, they don't, so I'd rather go elsewhere during these times.

-Many things are overpriced. $3.50 for oysters. Come one, this is not a waterfront location.

-Service was ok, nice people but understaffed. The host was my server, my bar tender, and my chef. Didn't check on me the entire meal and only one other other table ordering food. Only one other guy in the back washing dishes.

The pros:

-Great Micheladas! Super solid! 👌🏽
-Nice people

My family is coastal Pacific Mexican, so my standards are high. I wouldn't call this an authentic experience, but it is as close as it gets in the mission.

This place is newish, so it still needs a little work. The demand is there, and I wish them the best. I'll come again and try other things from their menu.“

“food is incredible!! i’ve only had takeout from them but i’m so glad i finally found a place that makes raw marinated crab! i’ve always wanted to try it and it’s SO!!! GOOD!!!!! their mapo tofu is also delicious! their shrimp fried rice is not very flavorful, but it’s passable. the quality of their other dishes completely makes up for it“

“Parking: free parking, but very busy over the weekend.

I have seen many locations across the bay area.

Food: Most of the foods are grilled or fried. All of them are tasty and fresh. Many fish choices, sauces, and sites to choose from. My favorite sauces are garlic butter and Cajun. The fish and chips are very good with tartar sauce. The grilled sea bass fish are very flavorful and would recommend having sauce on the side.

Price: very reasonable price for portions of food.“

“Really good food and very fresh. If you get a poke bowl as long as there's no line the service is fast. You have to place your order through a piece of paper marking everything you want even if it's only one item. The prices are a little costly but that just seems to be businesses across California nowadays.“

“love love love two jack.Especially the snap burger and the beautiful owner!“

“Adorable place with amazing food. We drove down to Half Moon Bay from SF and we’re looking for some quick comfort food at a place that was kid friendly and this was amazing.

The food is fresh, unique and incredibly tasty.
Highly recommend it and wish it was in the city so I could have it more often.

Trust the other reviews lol- it’s great!“

“Love this place, I keep coming back. They have a standout Beef Chow Fun with generous beef and strong wok hei. I always order the Minced Pork and Mei Cai which I miss from Singapore, and feel is pretty uncommon for Chinese restos in SF. We've also tried many other items - clams with egg, rock cod and tofu claypot, etc - all homey and delicious.

The uncle who runs the place is pretty friendly and charming to EVERYONE too (also uncommon for Chinese restos for non-Chinese speaking diners)!“

“Watermelon 🍉 Roll; no rice, refreshingly good Fried seafood chips appetizer; I wanted it as a meal it’s a different yum 😋 Ice cream sandwich wow!“

“This place was fuller than I expected, but we didn't have to wait too long, which was great. I liked that they do individual hot pots, so if you don't like what others like, you're separated and can do your own thing. That said, I'm not a fan of starting from pre-built options, since many of the items on the veggie plate are not my thing, and I feel bad throwing away food... Would recommend, but come prepared“

“like being in Italy. Fabulous food, excellent service. The atmosphere is so Italian you'll think that you are in Italia. Bravo.“

“I heard about this spot because every place I tried in and around my area hasn’t matched boiling crab to me especially their Shebang sauce but I will say their food was a delight! Their sauce for their seafood was spicy good but I’ll take Shebang sauce over theirs because it leaves a taste on your palate wanting more. I will say these guys food was tasty, portions were perfect and it was fulfillin to my stomach which I tried to taste what I wanted on the menu and I enjoyed every bite. Service was a 5 star because the servers were attentive ready to serve and that for me was impressive. I’m definitely going back to try more on their menu.“
