Our experience was not a happy one from the moment we sat down to the moment we left. I felt like we were eating at a fast food restaurant we were in and out in a half an hour. We didn’t even sit down and the waitress was trying to take our order we asked her if she can come back that we didn’t even look at the menu yet . She back My husband told her to slow down that we just sat down and we need time to look at the menu he told her that we felt rushed.A second later she’s back so we ordered our food . Our waitress didn’t even leave our table and the food was ready and in front of are face a salad ,appetizer , and Main entrées all at once. Food was poor Quality.($$$) like I said our reservations were at 6:30 we were out by 7 o’clock fast food takes longer. We will never go back or recommend this place.. PS OSHA needs to be notified The emergency exit was blocked by a baby carriage and people ,windows had no screens a Child could’ve fell out into the ocean. Thank god was no emergency it would have been a nightmare

My son really likes this place, but he wasn't with us this time and honestly, the dinner we had was just ok. The crab wasn't served with butter (we asked, and they brought it). There were crab crackers at the table, but no little forks. Try getting that crab meat out with a dinner fork and fingers. Again, we asked and they brought them. Why did we have to ask? So that was annoying, but mostly the food was just ok. Not great, not flavorful, not bad. Just ok. Not worth it to me, and I would only recommend to someone who wants the Pier 39 experience, and even then, I'd probably encourage them to try something different.

I had not been to this restaurant in several years but assumed quality had been maintained and reserved a table for dinner with out of town guests. Unfortunately, the food with one exception was not up to past quality. We ordered crab cakes as an appetizer, which were very brown almost burned ...but tasted great. This was the one good food item we had. The entrees were very disappointing... large over cooked quantities of vegetables, a Crab fettuccine Alfredo, with very little crabmeat on very over cooked pasta, a crab Louie salad that was a huge amount of iceberg lettuce which was too wet, with a very small amount of crab meat, canned black olives, cut, tasteless tomatoes and supermarket style thousand island dressing. Our waiter was excellent, attentive but professional. He could not fix the food. Even the bread not taste fresh,. Prices are very high. We will not return or recommend this restaurant.

The only time I have had better crab is in my home in the north of Scotland. Fresh off the boats and straight to the boiling water , magic, but this came close. Congratulations to a great team I will be back before heading home.

Always a fun time! This restaurant is nestled upstairs at pier 39. It's not fancy or inexpensive, but it's a great place for crab dinner. Garlic bread and bruscetta is also very good.
