absolutely terrible, service was bad. plastic utensils, paper plates, canned soda we were completely rushed, given the food then the bill immediately idk what their problem is, but i asked for proper silverware (shouldn't be much to ask considering it's a SIT DOWN restaurant) i witnessed a employee giving silverware to someone else (she told me no when i asked) rude. i definitely can say i will not come back here. it was not to mention filthy, and disgusting from the inside.

When I was 3 my dad took me here every month and ever since then i didn’t go. Yesterday I went and nothing changed in 9 years. The clam chowder in the bread bowl tasted the same and it brought a wave of nostalgia. I ate 2 bowls of it and I was satisfied. I will say it was very expensive but it’s good to go once a monthKid-friendliness: It has a kids menu and it is all good food and it seams to be cheep

Stop by here and try the fresh seafood, get something to share so you can enjoy other tastes nearby. This is historical place and it's right in the heart of the Fisherman's Warf in SF.

Had a fabulous meal there in late August when we took family and friends. The crab was absolutely delicious and my husband's pasta with clams was a big hit too. We want to return just the two of us. Hope it doesn't close down. A real gem at fisherman's wharf that I first remember visiting in the 60s!! Had to beg our waiter to set up a table for 6 by the window, but other than that the service was good. Atmosphere was OK when we finally got to the dining area, but it could definitely use an update. Just go there for the food and you won't be disappointed.

With so many great restaurants closing in the City, we were so pleased to still have the Grotto still open and serving the best food ever. The restaurant was full of happy customers. We will definitely plan to visit there again the next time we are in San Francisco.

We had shrimp creole, chicken linguine alfredo, and asparagus risotto. All was uniformly excellent. Jorge was our server , and he was professional, helpful, and attentive, if a bit languid -- but it was a Saturday afternoon and we were in no hurry at all.We got the best table in the place, with views from the GG Bridge to the Transamerica Pyramid. Great music and decor. My family was happy, and the bill was in the ballpark.We'll definitely return.

Service is terrible: took long to get our order taken. Our food took extremely long to come out we almost just left. Other people that came in after us got their food first. We never got our bread even tho some other tables had bread.Food quality was disgusting. We didn’t even eat it all and left the rest without taking it with us. The mixed drinks were small and tasted watered down.Price was expensive for the only good quality being the view out the window.
