“Had San Francisco Cioppino (Mussels. Clams, Crab, Cod, Prawns, Scallops and Garlic Bread that was the bomb). Only giving 2 thumbs up as I only have 2. Great food, great service!“

“My second time in anchovy bar and everything went so well. The toast and ceviche my favorites! The bread is so good as well. I absolutely love the wine selection. I ordered a bottle of the Syrah and it went amazing with the rest of the food“

“What a great place, a hidden jewel in the city! Fresh fish, fresh chips and guacamole… Everything was perfect! DELICIOUS❣️ We will return…“

“Anchor Oyster Bar is worth the wait. Be prepared though, the line can be quite long, especially during lunch and on weekends, since it’s a small restaurant and they don’t have many tables.

I ordered the 12 oysters on the half shell, and they were very fresh, clean tasting, and served ice cold.

The Boston clam chowder was excellent, thick, creamy, and loaded with clams without being overly salty. It’s a must-order.

Service was friendly and efficient once seated.“

“The food was absolutely amazing ❤️😎💯💯💯“

“This a place to visit,great food and service“

“Good service, delicious food, nice atmosphere, nothing to complain about“

“Excelente servicio , quedé encantada 😍“

“I promise you the lobster roll is worth it. We love to get the seafood flight roll combo because you get a little bit of everything plus chips (or sub fries) and a drink! Don't expect to get full unless you have a small appetite but its worth the try. The staff is really friendly and the vibes are always calm. Tables and the area in general is kept nice and clean.“

“Lovely Peking Duck experience, highly recommend. Visited with a group of 6 to celebrate a birthday and it was a great choice. Each dish was well presented, rich in flavours and felt very fresh. I was pleasantly surprised about their XLB too!“

“Great bartender! Right on SF Bay.“

“everything about the restaurant, from the heated outdoor dining, people who work there, the food so deliciously great especially the one that prepares and cook it, THE CHEFS, amazingly incredible they are and not so pricey above all.“

“Hands down our favorite go-to restaurant when we are in the city going out to dinner, or when we are looking to take out-of-towners someplace truly unique, or when we are looking to bring the most delicious dinner home. The seafood is as fresh and high quality as it gets, served in the most unique way. Start with the chowder, packed with a wide variety of shellfish, spiced just right with a little kick to it, neither New England nor Manhattan, they have invented a new broth that is both rich and flavorful while being light. The Scallops are a must try. They simply melt in your mouth with a burst of complex flavors. The small plate tostadas meld flavors and textures you just can’t find anywhere else. Although it is located on Divisadero in a multi-block long string of restaurants, the atmosphere inside has the feel of the most comfortable neighborhood bistro. Impecable service all at a very reasonable price for the quality and the creativity and joy the food will bring to your palate.“

“What a great little find! It was great food. When I asked for a suggestion on wine; our waiter was so nice and asked me a few questions as to what I liked and gave me a great Pinot I loved! No judgements on my lack of familiarity with wines. The squid ink sauce was incredible!!!!“

“I must say i had high hopes but the meal was tasteless but my friends had too much salt. I wanted to like it. Wont return, wont recommend. ☹“

“A charming true SF institution that feels like ur in center of culture and history! The authentic jazz music really makes the experience, where you’re right in the best seats anywhere u sit. U really feel the way sf was bustling with artistry and interesting conversations happening around u with this ambiance. The food didn’t need to be great with the music and environment being so special, yet the meal was so delicious! The clam chowder is one of the best in the city, the prawns with horseradish will make u come back, then the steak is better than the really pricey steak houses! Then, service to top it off was so attentive and fast!

Honestly one of the best all around dinners in so many ways! Gonna come back as a local and bringing everyone!!!“

“I always have a good time great food💕“

“Best poke in mission district.“

“Almost 50 years and still serving“

“Exceeded our expectations, all the food was delicious. We thought we were going to leave hungry but we left very full! My favorite was the tuna crudo in the little shucker plate and my fiancés favorite was the crab roll. Thanks to chase sapphire reserve card we got $150 off our bill. They even got us a dessert for our engagement. Thanks little shucker ☺️“

“Everything was delicious and fresh. Will definitely come back!“

“My friends and I just spotted your restaurant after being at a movie on Chestnut st. We just wanted a light bite to eat, we chose the Red Lentil soup fantastic. The Spanikopita excellent and a Bean dish all e with delicious Pita and red Huumus?. We will return.Thank you.!“

“What a perfect end to a busy day! The food was delicious, the portions were just right, and the wait staff was very friendly! I will definitely be back.😋“

“Haven’t been in years and boy howdy! It’s upgraded and then some. It’s not as divey as it used to be, but what’s here now is pretty cool! More places to hang (upstairs and down) with more views. The menu is expanded but still simple, good cocktails. The food has definitely improved a couple of levels and the prices are great for what you get. Awesome, friendly staff that wants you to have a great time!“

“Always a hit! You are welcomed like family!“

“The best Italian I’ve ever had. Great service great drinks as well.“

“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!“

“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.“

“A wonderful restraunt operated by a James Beard Award winning chef and a great waiting staff.
The food was incredible and even made chicken nuggets a gourmet dish with amazing flavor and plating.
The crown jewel of our experience was our waiter Brian, a 20-year veteran, who knew everything about the area, the menu, and anything you could think to ask him. Would highly recommend.“

“We had shrimp cocktail, French onion soup, wedge salad, 20 oz ribeye with a baked potato, and a banoffee tart for dessert. We split each course and the waitstaff had the chef plate it all separately for us which made sharing easier.“

“This place was recommended to us by a bartender at Mr Bings and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious. And the servers/owners were so friendly. Highly recommend.“

“Great team of real Pros! Husband Chef, Wife Wine Steward & Saul, my friend, Front of House…Outstanding!“

“Super good food and friendly staff, our group of 5 people each ordered our own thing and were surprised at the portions, if going in a group it may be helpful to figure out a few dishes the party wants to share and then order and divide, that's what we did and it was a great way to taste so many amazing and tasty dishes!“

“Rich dishes, very delicious“

“The most amazing service and food“

“Classic San Francisco restaurant. Great service. Classic martini 🍸❤️“

“Best meal of my 14 day trip to California. wonderful atmosphere, great service and delicious food. I wish you had a restaurant in St Petersburg, FL.“

“Excellent food and service, and quiet ambience, so you can still hear yourself think.“

“Great dim sum. Friendly service. Great location in the fisherman’s wharf area where locals and tourists can enjoy the food and the scenary“

“This place always hits the spot! The flavors are amazing and I love all the banchan dishes. Plus! The rice comes with the food which should be the standard but nowadays other places charge for them.

The dishes are pricey but the portions are large and sometimes you can get a freebie! Definitely bring a friend to share with.“
