“Amazing food and wine, great view“

“It was our first time and we were definitely pleased. Everything was delicious!“

“The seafood here is absolutely superb in both flavour and service, with exceptionally fresh ingredients. It ranks among the finest seafood I've ever tasted😃😋“

“Amazing food, attentive and knowledgable service made for a memorable first night in San Francisco!!!!“

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

“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!“

“Amazing service and food!!!!“

“You cannot find better seafood in San Francisco. I have lived here for 20+ years and this restaurant is consistently in my Top 5 every year. The only reason it’s not a 4.8 or 4.9 is that people grow frustrated with waiting for a table. Good things come to those who wait. The wait is worth it and very egalitarian. Sign me up for this special treat anytime!“

“Amazing!! A San Francisco must.“

“What an amazing culinary experience! We had a three course meal. The waiter was very helpful, friendly and had great recommendations! I highly recommend this place if you're in San Francisco!“

“I haven’t been to a Luke’s in many years, and now I feel like I’ve wasted so much time. I absolutely love lobster rolls and this experience topped any recent ones I’ve tried. They offer three different sizes, so you can gorge on as much or as little as you want. I appreciate that the lobster meat is as close to the original form as can be…there was a small claw on my roll. I prefer this to the chopped up lobster salads where it may not all be lobster. And I always remember the celery seasoning on top. It’s unique and delicious. The bread roll was amazing, and the meal includes a bag of chips and a drink, as well as pickles. Truly one of the most delicious I’ve had in a long time. I won’t wait to go back to Luke’s when I’m craving a lobster rolls.“

“Loved it! Our waitress was amazing and super friendly. The food was awesome. We are so happy to have found this place. We had the raw oysters on half shells our favorite was the satori, followed by hogisland highwater, sunset then the golden nugget. We had to try the clam chowder and it did not disappoint. The fish and chips was absolutely delicious as well. Highly recommend and plan to return next time we visit.“

“My fiancé and I found your restaurant Saturday afternoon while sightseeing the city. We were so impressed with the atmosphere and hospitality. This place is the best for nice afternoon seafood lunch! Thank you so much for the delicious meal.“

“The food was delicious. Each and every item on the menu is very expertly crafted and it has a very unique flavour to it. We had the tuna meatballs, tuna tartar, and anchovy fried for appetizers. All of them were very yummy. The tuna meatballs were my absolutely favourite. I would recommend everyone to go to here. You will not be disappointed!!“

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

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

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

“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.“

“The outdoor area is hooded, though you can still occasionally feel the draft. The restaurant staff was very friendly and welcoming to our pups, and they arranged our seats in a corner so the dogs could use more space to rest. The food is exquisite as usual. We especially love all the seafood dishes.“

“Excelente servicio , quedé encantada 😍“

“Great bartender! Right on SF Bay.“

“One of my favorite restaurants in the city and the best Peking Duck I've ever had... every, anywhere. The host is amazing and all the servers are cool and super nice. If you can, seat near the chef that's cutting up the duck, watching him work is awesome.“

“The food was outstanding. I ordered the filet mignon, it was slightly undercooked than what was ordered, however still had amazing flavor, the sides were excellent as well. The food was overall excellent. The prices listed were reasonable, however there were so many service charges, my bill was significantly higher than then expected. Our server was sufficient. She was not overly friendly but she was attentive and accommodating.“

“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.“

“I had their pot stickers variety tray! Nothing but delightful 💟“

“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. ☹“

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

“The most amazing service and food“

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

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

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

“Best poke in mission district.“

“I really enjoyed my meal there last night. Ordered the vegan combo with the gluten-free teff injeera. The only thing I had to send back were the side order of mushrooms. I requested little or no oil and the dish was drowning in oil. They took it back, no problem and removed the item from my bill. I will go back!“

“Awesome service amazing food 👍🏻💃🏼🥂🍸🥰‼️“

“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.😋“

“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.“

“I always have a good time great food💕“

“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!“

“We went here for dinner yesterday, the food and service was absolutely incredible! I can’t believe how each dish had so many great flavors. We ordered several dishes ranging from vegetarian to meats, all were spectacular! Thank you for introducing Burma food to us!“

“The food was amazing! The fire pits outside created the perfect atmosphere!“

“We started with the Chips & Dip as a small appetizer. The chips were crunchy and flavorful, and the sour cream was fluffy and not too heavy.

Next, we ordered oysters and the tuna melt. The oysters were so fresh and delicious that we ended up ordering another dozen. The tuna melt was also really good, served on a sourdough roll that made it quite easy to eat.

The service was excellent, the server was friendly and welcoming throughout our visit.

Overall, we were really satisfied with everything. We were just looking for a few small bites before dinner.“

“Overall, it's a good valiant effort to imitate a British Chippy, for Americans it might be ok, but for British folks looking for the real thing, might be a let-down. Still, it's worth a bite.“

“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.“

“Wow 10/10 amazing food and drinks! If we could’ve tried everything on the menu we would have.
Not pictured - the martinis! Great pairing for the seafood we ordered.

We started with the oysters which were fresh and shucked perfectly. No shells, so clean.

Then we ordered the bread and butter - thick slices toasted just right with butter and flaky salt. Truly everything you wish for out of a bread and butter scenario and the snack you need after walking around the city all day.

Then the 3 best dishes we’ve have in SF:

Mussel Conserva Toast - I could’ve eaten 4 of these it was that good. Personally my favorite plate of the night. Mussels were smokey and the fennel provided a light balance. Get this if you go here! Sleeper hit

Beef Tartare - the execution on this was 10/10. Flavors were so balanced, it is exactly what you want when eating a tartare. I will dream of this. And the homemade chips with it!! No notes

Steak & Fries - the only way to describe this was exquisite. So flavorful, so tender…one of those plates that looks unassuming but your eyes go wide at the first bite. The fries were salted just right and so crispy. Again no notes

Food aside, the service was incredible, everyone who worked there seemed to genuinely enjoy themselves, were attentive, and provided suggestions on the menu. I would be shocked if this place doesn’t blow up. It’s a hidden gem (for now)“

“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.!“

“Love it! Love the food, friendly and welcoming staff“

“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!“

“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.“

“Solid Korean and Chinese food Restaurant. My husband and I favorite food is their spicy marinated raw crab so addicting and delicious. We usually order the crispy garlic scallops, HK noodles and crispy garlic string beans. So far majority of their food has been really good and tasty. All the staff are friendly and courteous. The owner is husband and wife they are so friendly and very welcoming so pleasant to talk to. Their portion is big“

“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.“
