My wife wanted to show me some of the highlights of Fisherman's Wharf as she remembered them, but sadly, many of the experiences that she recalled simply weren't present anymore. Maybe they were a casualty of COVID, or a bad economy, or because we were there on a Monday? Regardless, she was determined to grab some fresh seafood from one of the purveyors near the pier, and selected Nick's Lighthouse as our destination.

Food was great. Servers didnt appear too welcoming. This place charge service fee 18% & dont care much about customer service.
Pricey but food was delicious.

Nick's Lighthouse at the Wharf offers a mix of experiences. Enjoy traditional fish and chips, a nostalgic favorite, for a satisfying lunch. The chowder in a bread bowl is a must-try, especially since one reviewer called it the best they've ever had and praised the sourdough version. Oysters are highly recommended and considered really good, while calamari salad is a hit. The atmosphere is very cool, with a lively vibe despite being short staffed. Prices seem steep for small portions, like the fish and chips with thin pieces of fish, and some dishes like lobster may not meet expectations, tasting rubbery and like a crayfish. The clam chowder, especially in sourdough, is highly praised and considered excellent. Service can be sporadic, but attentive staff try their best. Overall, Nick's Lighthouse provides a decent dining experience with friendly servers and dishes that many find satisfying in San Francisco's vibrant Wharf area.
