Our waiter was amazing and accommodating but the manager Floura was not pleasant or accommodating at all. Hopefully upper management does in-services on customer service with her to understand the importance

On A Positive Note: The Happy Hour menu offers great variety.

While it was difficult to secure parking, once inside, I enjoyed the water view. The establishment is spacious and the service was attentive. I started with the Salmon Evoo which was dried out. My mother’s order had a visible amount of sauce and significantly more pasta. I would not order this dish again. Imho dishes should be similar in proportion. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the ahi tacos and the hot oil pizza. However, I found the online Taco Tuesday advertisement to be a bit misleading given I could only select one kind of taco. Furthermore, I don’t recall shrimp being an option.

The margaritas were impressive for $5. I must shoutout Erica for providing us with friendly and attentive service.

The Verdict: I recommend the ahi tuna tacos and hot oil pizza.😋 I plan to return to try the dinner menu, in the near future.

Incredible happy hour! Tons of choices at really friendly prices. The food is delicious! Inside is beautiful and the bat is huge. The outdoor seating is plentiful and offers great views of the river. The only negative was the small parking lot which fills up quickly when busy. Definitely a place you must try!

I've had the pleasure of eating here (for lunch) multiple times already ..
The food has always been tasty and plentiful
Drinks are cold, tasty, and they have some unique options.
If it's a beautiful day, a table on the patio is a perfect choice.
**Having Brunch available daily is a perfect option for those days when lunch isn't quite what you want.
We've never had a bad meal.

Nice restaurant, we were seated right away for dinner on a Friday night, and it seemed like it was a busy night for them. Service was good, but we were charged extra for getting truffle fries with our burger but were never told upfront. That didn't sit well with me. I paid it, but it would have been nice to have known that. Other than that, it was a good experience. Pretty views of the water and bridge.

We stopped by Pier 131 during happy hour and had an amazing time! Our server Brando was an absolute 12/10 — super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. We ordered the sweet chili mussels (a must-try!), hot oil pizza (crispy and packed with flavor), chicken tacos (so juicy), and Nonna’s chips (addictive!). My boyfriend had a rum and coke, and I had a margarita — both were strong and delicious, especially for happy hour prices. Between the great food, drinks, and Brando’s outstanding service, this place is definitely a new favorite. Can’t wait to come back!

Dirty menus, sticky tables, I'd bet my last dollar the floor under that bar mat never gets cleaned.

Very nice spot, close to the river. Never knew it was there! Food and atmosphere really nice. Good staff, will definitely go back! Sunday afternoon they had a great band on the terrace.

The music was definitely interesting considering it was a Sunday at 1 pm. Food was fine but very expensive considering the quality and portion size. Only plus was that drinks came out fast but I couldn't help but feel like we were being rushed to finish and get out even though the restaurant was relatively empty.

The food was excellent. The location is terrific. We had a table outside overlooking the river. Perfect spot and not overly crowded. I had the stuffed Avocado. The avocado was good. The eggs were cooked too perfection, just enough bacon and Pico. I think the tators were good as my granddaughter ate them all. My son had a salad with salmon, which was delish, and my daughter in law had a pizza, which was excellent. The music playing was a little loud. Overall job well done. Give it a try.

Never had a bad meal. Food is very good. Same with service. Am a frequent diner but had not been on a Sunday. Sat in the bar and the music was so loud it felt like a club not a restaurant. People yelling over each other trying to converse. Might be appropriate for dinner crowd or later but not for Sunday lunch.

Went to dinner with my wife and a friend on a Wednesday night. Not overly crowded. We requested to be seated outside, and the view looked out over the water. It was nice.

We were greeted by a waiter who took put drinks. Took about 10 minutes to get our drinks. That was a pretty decent time. Upon coming back with our drink, the waiter stated the kitchen was really back up and we should put our order in soon.

I ordered ½doz little neck clams and a New York strip. The clams were extremely fresh, and the strip wasn't the cut I was expecting to look like, but it was cooked to perfecting.
My wife ordered the Big Sur: chipotle marinated shrimp, guac, feta cheese, mango, roast corn, cilantro-lime vinaigrette. She did eat it, said she wouldn't get it again. Flavors weren't what she was expecting.
Our friend ordered ½ doz oysters (which they ran out of), so he ended up with ½ clams instead. He had the Lamb Chops; (4pieces) grilled and balsamic reduction and served with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. He really enjoyed his meal. Said it was good.

We got desert, which was a creme brulee. The was a traditional brulee.

To conclude, our server was awesome. He was up front with telling us the waiting time. He made sure we were always happy. He even rushed over to help me when he thought I was choking. By far, he made our experience a happy one.
