   Had a business conversation. Restaurant was very quiet and lent itself to our being able to chat. Food was surprisingly good considering that it is located in a San Francisco tourist area. Would definitely recommend.

   Don’t order a steak at a seafood restaurant! The oysters were good and so was the other seafood but my husband was still hungry after we left. We had to buy bread separately and no starter salad. The sat us at a window but right behind me was the waiter station.

   We were practically the only people there but our server was still inattentive. The drinks were watery and the food was average at best.

   We changed our time because we knew we would not be able to make our original reservation time. This was my third visit to my favorite restaurant in San Francisco and this time I had the worst experience. I always order the same menu, but the seasoning of the crab, the seasoning of the clams, the quality of the clams (most disappointed too small and not filling. see photo I took real menu photo and you must check restaurant provide menu photo ), and the service of the server were all terrible! I will never go back.

   Seit 25 Jahren mein „Stammlokal“ in San Francisco, und immer verlässlich gut. Die Speisen sind perfekt zubereitet.

   We got the dungenuss crab for two and it did not disappoint!! It was plenty for the two of us and with the garlic butter it was just delicious. Our server was informative, knowledgeable and delightful! We sat by the window and had a great bay view.

   Our waiter was very attentive and we loved his suggestions for our lunch. The food was extremely delicious and plenty for 3 of us- we had the super combo of whole crab, shrimp and mussels. The only reason I am marking it a 4 is that you have to ask and pay for the bread which I think should be complementary with this kind if dish

    Stopped in SF while on a cruise. Restaurant was nearly deserted. Waitress was inept, but in her defense I hope she was new at her job. Ordered drinks and 2 sips into it our main course arrived then our salad/appetizers. Little children were running in the walkway. The prices were also outrageous. The only saving grace for this restaurant was the food was really good
