Happened to come here quickly. I asked the staff if they were still open and they said yes and were very friendly and accommodating! The food was amazing. I got a crab melt and it was soo delicious! Tried one from some place in Monterey and it didn’t even compare to this one. Plus it was very clean. Loved it here and would definitely recommend.
So I finally tried Chowders in SF, Pier 39, famous for their clam chowder in sourdough bread. Honestly, it was an ok‑ok experience.

Ambience is nice though, comfy seats and a good mix of cuisines on the menu. Felt slightly pricy, Had to try it once, but not blown away.
