    Not as good as what I read about, so so for the value, service was average, food was average. The location is the best part.

    It was our 50th wedding anniversary and they provided us with a beautiful table by the windows to look out onto the bay. The food was very good and I highly recommend the clam chowder. It is the best. Our waiter was very friendly and funny and I would love to go back again to enjoy another evening. Thank you Trident for making this night for us so special.

    Had been many years since we were young regulars at the Trident and today’s visit was not disappointing! Carlos was a most entertaining server (gotta be a better job description!!) and made what was already a great lunch even better. If you can avoid the busy tourist rush Trident cannot be beat for food, ambiance and spectacular views of S.F. and the Bay!

    We had brunch at The Trident and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We started with the Frito Misto then had a couple of benedicts and the chowder/salad combo. The Frito Misto was a nice step up from a lot of places with calamari, fish and shrimp. The benedicts were well prepared and they also accomodated a requested change for one of the orders. We shared the cake created for Frank Sinatra which included cheesecake, chocolate mousse and chocolate cake with strawberry - it was fantastic! The service was very attentive and they indulged us having a leisurely brunch. The location right on the water doesn't get much better even from indoors on a chilly day. With easy valet parking right in front the whole experience was wonderful!

    We have eaten at The Trident many times. It is our "go-to" restaurant when we have out-of-town visitors. There were 6 of us on a lovely, sunny day on the Bay. We were torn between eating inside or outside, and Carlos patiently walked us around showing the tables available so we could choose what we liked. We ended up at a round table outside in the glass walled area, that offered some protection from the breeze, as well as a beautiful view of the San Francisco skyline. Everyone enjoyed their food (chowder, dip sandwich, Po'Boy sandwich, salads) and drinks, and we enjoyed Carlos' fine service and good humor. No doubt we'll be back, even if we don't have visitors. Thanks for a fun afternoon!

    I am a vegan. There was nothing in the menu that I wanted to eat. I went there for the mushroom risotto that was on the menu the last time I ate there. It is a fabulous dish that should still be on the menu. I am tired of “making do” at these restaurants and trying to have the chefs alter a meat dish so that I can have something that fits my chosen lifestyle.
