    With a great view of the San Francisco waterfront, homemade sourdough, fresh seafood, and reasonable prices, this restaurant was the perfect choice for our family. We enjoyed the complimentary bread, pizza, and a shrimp dish. We highly recommend!

    Iconic location did not disappoint! This joint is huge! Very busy. Very well organized. We didn't have to wait for service. There is an elevator! Very happy we had a yummy lunch before saying so long to San Fran.

    Great experience with a group of six plus a baby. We were in town and caught up with friends. Food was excellent and so was service. They were helpful with accommodating our 1-year old as well.

    I've eaten downstairs on the sidewalk for years. But, the upstairs is on a whole new level. (haha) Seriously, the view overlooking the harbor is delightful. The service is good. The drinks even better. And my wife was able to eat clam linguine and her sister the filet mignon. Me? I stuck with the go-to clam chowder in a bread bowl. And all three dishes were delicious.

    There were six of us. We were visiting from Chicago. Who was delicious, waitress was nice, the view was good. We sat by window on the second floor. I accidentally left my Chicago White Sox cap there at the restaurant. I called the next day, and they had it waiting for me. My son and his girlfriend picked it up for me.

    Nice place and a way to enjoy Boudin without the hustle and bustle. Had a nice bottle of wine with a decent view and calmed us down from all the go go go.
