    The best seafood house in SF. Many choices, large portions, and fresh fresh fresh. Wine choices are small but well-chosen.

    Food was ok at best. Some of the worst service that I have ever experienced. There are many other places in this area to go to. Make a better decision than I did and go somewhere else.

    We were eating late and were among the last customers of the night. There was no feeling of pressure to hurry and the staff was wonderfully helpful with recommendations. The food was delicious! We would definitely return.

    Been a while since last visit, so pleased to see improvement in decor and ambiance. Food also seemed better. Great crab dishes as usual. The fish and chips were a happy hour deal. Fries are hot and perfectly salted. Crab cioppino was tasty and we mopped up the broth with the sourdough bread. Draft wine choices were nice too.

    Food was absolutely awful (and definitely not cheap). The chicken was chewy. The food was greasy. It was the worst restaurant I’ve been to in SF. Extremely disappointed.
