With the absence of service and the food being subpar. Giving a one star is too kind. For $25 the fish and chips seemed like an appetizer. The $16 cheeseburger didn’t come with fries, was very greasy, and did not have a tomato.The soda was flat and when I asked if I can exchange it for anything else, they said no. It was only when I pushed the second time I got an iced tea.I could go on and on, but we will definitely not be back. Even the customer sitting beside us said they will never come back. We had a terrible experience.

Fine dishes, but sometimes rather small portions. The employees were friendly, but not very attentive, but since everything has to be ordered online anyway and only the food is served, the service fees are already too high.

Perfect place for lunch on the SF bay! Amazing margaritas, fresh crab and best caesar salad! Friendly service and family run establishment for over 30 years! A must visit in San Francisco!

I remember the food being a lot better in the past. Pre pandemic we used to frequent this spot often. The garlic fries no longer come with garlic. The server informed me that they switched to a garlic oil when i asked if they were in fact garlic fries. They looked and tasted like everyone else's regular fries on the table. Must be that new tasteless odorless garlic oil. Party of six and everyone was underwhelmed by the food.

Visited here a few times on my last visit to San Francisco. Fantastic place with friendly Staff and a lovely waterfront view. The food is amazing as well, particularly the BBQ chicken wings which were absolutely lush! Definitely recommend and will be back on my next visit!

Great deck to sit with a cocktail & late lunch. Dog friendly.QR code table ordering is convenient. Only downside is it does not allow for any variations from the menu description (i.e. sauce on the side, no salt on the rim of drinks)Cocktails ? are well craftedFood ??? is delicious and pleasantly presented.Staff is friendly & attentive.Definitely the place to drink and eat when on the Northside of the Embarcadero.

What a great place to eat… you are literally on the water…. The hours suck though, I feel like they are closed way too early. Fish and chips are awesome (1 giant fish filet) and the chicken wings were hot and fresh. They used to have live music and stayed open later… the pandemic happened… I don’t know what that means, but rich people are still rich… so I’m not sure why this place would change…. Oh yeah nobody feels safe in SF at night now… anyways come for the views, stay for the food. Chill vibes

We were going to explore the Antiquarian Bookfair (just a walk away) and saw this eatery. Years ago we came here as a 15 family members strong. It was great. This is only so so now. To cutdown on costs you order via QRcode. Which is okay. But, when I went to get a spoon off the counter the waiter nearly bit my head off. You can order at the bar which is what I did since I was ordering drinks (we were not driving). But, I swear it was well liquor, not Grey Goose as I asked for. Plus it is open, so even in the sun it is cold. It is Winter still, but a beautiful day. Had to keep our coats on all the time. Plus fly's buzzing over the tables. Yuck.Wheelchair accessibility: Too cramped. I do not see that they are ADA compliant at all.
