   Beautiful time for Thanksgiving with family !!we were in and out quick. It didn’t take the wait long. I highly recommend for holidays or even if it’s just a regular day.

   The food was ok, but for the price, it should have been. The service was incredibly rushed. I ordered a pre-dinner drink, and it came in a reasonably short time. But, our dinner was served as if it was pre-cooked.. .incredibly fast, so I didn’t have time to finish my cocktail before dinner arrived. I’d hoped to finish my cocktail then have a glass of wine with my dinner… instead I felt rushed through it. One of my table mates was still eating her dinner and a busser came and cleared some plates, and also took the person’s knife who was still eating… really?? For the $75/+ per person, we shouldn’t be rushed off for the next seating…

   Took out of towners to this restaurant for dinner. I've been to this restaurant 4x in the past 18 months. Ordered crab enchiladas, cioppino, roasted salmon with vegetables, shrimp pasta, sandwiches, coffees, whiskey and drinks. First, the service was very poor. The waiter we had did not understand us 75% of the time and we did not understand him. Replacements for vegetables over potatoes were not allowed by the waiter. Our food portions were smaller than when i was last dine in July, despite the prices going up. The salmon was dry and the cioppino was lacking taste. This is still an okay place, but if I will look for another place to dine in this location. Quality has changed.

   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.

    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.
