The food was terrible. The sole was inedible. We had to send it back and replace it with a greasy cheeseburger. The fries tasted like old cooking oil. My cioppino was slightly better but still unremarkable and I could only get through half. We won't go back.

When we first entered the restaurant there was an employee cleaning a table, we waited for him to be done, after that he came to us and started staring, no greeting, no good morning, nothing. I thought he was having a bad morning or something, we got seated. Then another guy showed up to get our order and he was moody too. He kept over talking when we tried to give our order. The food was ok, not so great. Bacon was overcooked. Anyway.. rude people, they have no clue about customer service. I would never be back…

I can’t say I recommend this place…They were very snappy towards my boyfriend and I when we asked a simple question about wine. Seemed offended we were even asking them a question… expect questions to be asked if you run a business and try being a little kind.

Surf, Turf, and a Sigh
Fish & Farm in San Francisco tries to conjure nostalgia with its wood-paneled, old-school bar charm, but the illusion fades quickly. At 8 p.m., in a downtown that feels eerily deserted, it stands as one of the only open options—an advantage it leans on heavily. Prices are ambitious, yet the fare falls flat: service is sluggish, and the food borders on uninspired.
The salmon I ordered, served medium-well alongside potatoes and cooked vegetables, carried the unmistakable taste of something recently defrosted. In a city perched on the Pacific, that lack of freshness borders on unforgivable. The dish was passable, filling in the most basic sense, but bereft of character or care.
Fish & Farm might fare better embracing its role as a bar rather than overextending into surf and turf. As it stands, it feels like a place for weary travelers caught between hunger and convenience, rather than diners in search of quality. Unless necessity dictates, skip it.
I recently had dinner at Fish & Farm in San Francisco and overall it was a very enjoyable experience that deserves a solid 4 stars. To start, I ordered the crab cakes, and I was pleasantly surprised by the presentation. Instead of being served alone, the crab cakes came on top of a fresh salad, which made the appetizer feel more complete and satisfying. The crab cakes themselves were flavorful and well-prepared, definitely a highlight of the meal.
For my main course, I went with the classic fish and chips. The dish was exactly what you would expect—crispy, golden batter with tender fish inside. While not the best I’ve ever had, it was certainly good and hit the spot. What stood out was the attention to detail: the server brought out malt vinegar without me having to ask, and there was plenty of tartar sauce provided, which is something many restaurants often skimp on. That small touch really elevated the experience.
To finish off the meal, I tried the blueberry cheesecake, which was excellent. Rich, creamy, and bursting with blueberry flavor, it was one of the best desserts I’ve had in a while.
Service was good overall, though a little on the slow side since there was only one staff member handling the host stand, bar, and tables. Considering that, he did an impressive job keeping everything running smoothly.
If you’re looking for a spot in San Francisco with tasty seafood, solid desserts, and a cozy atmosphere, Fish & Farm is definitely worth a visit.

Unfortunately, its not worth the visit. Save your money and go somewhere else... I regret coming tonight because Adam dropped the ball 1 too many times for me to recommend this establishment to anyone.

Its an ok place. Breakfast was decent. Service was a bit surly and understaffed. They tried to charge us both $1.50 egg surcharge which was not posted anywhere, or on the menu so I politely declined. Raise prices, post it, but not surprise us by adding it to the bill after the fact. They need additional help as it was a bit slow.

Fish and chips - got salad instead! Fish is light and crispy. Salad is dressed perfectly.
Interior makes me think of an European pub but classier. I love it
