“Amazing food and wine, great view“

“popi’s is a solid seafood restaurant that knows exactly what it is. thoughtful is the best way to describe this place - from the decorations to the menu to the service, great care was taken to curate this place. food was solid but pricy (as is all seafood).

clam chowder: above average chowder, packed with seafood and just the right amount of cream

manila clams: clams were good but the sausage was the highlight. flavorful broth.“

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

“We’re tourists who came all the way from Fisherman’s Wharf to find a gluten-free lobster roll. We were so impressed with this place! A good serving of meat and not overpowered with mayo or butter. Mary provided really excellent service, even when we accidentally spilled a drink all over the floor. This was a great find and definitely worth a $20 uber.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“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!“

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

“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. ☹“

“spectacular seafood! shrimp and scallops were thoroughly enjoyed and the wine and Champagne pairings made it even better! Only bad thing was, I didn't get a second Tiramisu for dessert! Perfect little private room in back and the 3 servers were on point!“

“Was there to celebrate these two nuptials. The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD !!!!! That bread …..that bread …..DAYUM!!!!! Thank you for an amazing experience“

“We love this place! The quality of the ingredients they use is excellent and that's why their food is so good imho. It's always a treat and the staff is so well acquainted with the menu they can help you order if you are not sure. We will definitely go again and again!“

“I had such an amazing experience with Tate, Ken, and David at Waterbar! From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly friendly, and Tate made me feel completely at ease. Her positive energy and enthusiasm really made the whole experience unforgettable. She has such a great vibe, and I left feeling so uplifted.

David and Tate made planning the event so easy, and everything was perfect. Chef Lori created such a beautiful cake for our wedding—we chose the s’mores cake, and it was absolutely delicious!

Ken was also fantastic—he made me feel welcome right away, and his drinks were a hit! Everyone was raving about them, and his jokes added such a fun, relaxed atmosphere to the day. Tate and David ensured everything ran smoothly.

I can’t recommend them enough! If you’re looking to host an event, Waterbar is the place to go. Thank you for an incredible experience!

The View was amazing!!“

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

“The dishes are creative and visually pleasing, but unfortunately, they were way too salty. I woke up the next day with some swelling, which has happened to me before when restaurants use a lot of salt. My other friends, who prefer stronger flavors, didn't report swelling but also found the food salty, even though they usually like salt.“

“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!“

“super yummy I loved every bite“

“Great bartender! Right on SF Bay.“

“We enjoyed our experience dining at little shucker. The service was very good. They were attentive and fast. We got yuzu oysters, miso bone marrow oysters, a crab roll, and mussels. The mussels were delicious and paired well with white wine! We preferred the cold yuzu oyster over the baked bone marrow oysters. However, both were good. The yuzu oysters just tasted more refreshing, which we like for oysters. The hot crab roll was packed with meat. It was a little too buttery though, so next time we will try it cold. The interior was cute. Overall, a very cute date spot!“

“Food is a-mazing, service extraordinary and they have such a good wine selection. We took our clients for a private dinner and we all enjoyed so much.!

Dietary restrictions: They ask for any intolerances or food sensitivities before serving“

“Their service was very accommodating and friendly. Also their food was excellent. I wish I could learn how to make their Cioppino so that I could make it at home!!! So good!! We waited about an hour with my 6 year old nephew, he said it was more than worth it! And I agree!“

“Hermoso servicio y buenas personas.“

“Amazing service and food!!!!“

“Delicious garlic crab and noodles“

“Great spot for music. Classic SF waterfront dive bar with great food“

“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.“

“I had originally given them a one star review. Was contacted by Chris the owner with an apology for a reservation they canceled. They asked us for a second chance and we gave it them. They totally made good and we had a very pleasant evening.“

“We had the seafood platter, t bone, brine pork chop, fish and lots of sides. But stop at the bar and get the popcorn. It has a nice truffle flavor. Go with an empty stomach. Lots of good.“

“The Peking duck at Z&Y Restaurant is amazing! The skin is super crispy, the meat is juicy, and everything is served with fresh pancakes, cucumber, scallions, and that perfect hoisin sauce. The staff is friendly, and the whole vibe feels authentic. If you’re craving top-notch Peking duck, this is the spot!“

“Truly incredible pasta. Doppio pasta dish is one of the most delightful plates of food I've been served in 20 years in the Bay Area. Artwork on a plate. Perfectly balanced. No notes. I feel like this place is getting slept on. Go yesterday!!!“

“Such a fun, iconic spot! I loved the atmosphere and it was really easy to find parking. The food was fantastic also, and I'd recommend in particular the bouillabaisse and the shrimp scampi.

The service, however, was lackadaisical. It took nearly an hour to get our food, and the server didn’t bring the appetizer first (in fact it didn't even arrive with the main meal). He seemed unconcerned about our experience.“

“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!“

“Absolutely incredible crabs. I'm not very experienced with crab restaurants, but everything here was delicious. I wish I lived in the bay area to go again some time! Only issue was a mostly vegetarian friend got the mango salad and didn't expect it to be 90% mango and 10% greens. Everything else was pure perfection.“

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

“Everything about Gozusf is unique. From the furnishings to the restrooms... yes the restrooms are next level. Every dish is presented as a work of art, and is filled with so much flavor it's hard to describe. You simply need to try EVERYTHING. The service is impeccable and this is an experience that should not be missed!“

“From the moment I walked in the door, the wonderful staff were SUPER attentive and kind. Not only is the space beautiful, I think it’s the attention to detail (and customer) that makes the difference. Thank you so much, Bar Gemini, I’ll definitely be back! Oh and the wine list and playlists are dope.“

“Great spot for happy hour or to grab dinner before an event at Chase Center! Easily my favorite place at Thrive City.We've been in several times: GluGlu has a great rotating wine selection, incredibly friendly and knowledgable staff, a tasty tapas-style menu. The owners are master sommeliers, so all of the wine is on point. Definitely try the patatas bravas, the pan con tomate, and the bocadillo de jamon.“

“Amazing quality and rich tasty food proportions are Awsome high class spot love it !!!!!! Never been to such an excellent Burmese restaurant!! Great cocktails service & food & price is outstanding I give it 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“A seafood store with flavors of Italy and Japan. You can order seafood to take home and eat or prepare, or dine in. Service was welcoming and helpful.

We had the Spanish octopus carpaccio and Wild Scallop Ceviche both of which were light and tasty.

They also had a nice section of Japanese shoyu and food items and Italian food items.

The bathroom was clean and pleasant.

The area, Noe Valley, is a busy, active neighborhood with nice shops and eateries, full of friendly people and families.“

“Popped in this new place on a recently extra-hot day. We ordered fish’n’chips and the Baja tacos. They use a gluten-free pea flour batter (if I recall), and it’s a nice touch. I didn’t miss the gluten at all. The place has a full bar too. They were showing a baseball playoff game on one of 2 or 3 TVs. Will definitely go back and try some other menu options.“

“Tomasso’s pizza is among the best I’ve ever had. Been coming here for 30 years.“

“Great bar with awesome service and atmosphere“

“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.“

“Excellent cuisine and outstanding service.“

“Best poke in mission district.“

“Almost 50 years and still serving“

“This is one of the best restaurants, that I have eaten on six continents. And nearly 150 countries - Chef Tran is currently The Bear. The simplicity of steamed pork dumplings- for a tear to my eye -for I marveled in their delicately deliciousness The pancake with Beef牛肉捲餅; Sliced Pork with Spicy Garlic Sauce蒜泥自肉 are sumptuous and complex - their structure amazing - their lingering, mint, cucumber, parsley - unforgettable. I fell in love with Chef's Nuleigu This restaurant is a charm and should be cherished.“
