    Spinnaker is a beautiful restaurant with excellent food and spectacular view. Also close to downtown for a nice stroll after your meal. Don’t be in a hurry as it gets packed and service is slow.

    Very good restaurant. Excellent views, varied menu; something for everyone. The tomato soup of the day was excellent as was the clam chowder. We were there for lunch so didn’t try any of the larger entrees but would like to go back sometime for dinner.

    Ate an early dinner at this restaurant and the restaurant was empty. Still we were not seated with a view of the bay but rather on the side. The appetizer of scallops and mussels was excellent. The drinks were excellent but for both of us (halibut for one and petrale sole for the other)the fish was dry and somewhat tasteless. I was very disappointed because I was looking forward to a fresh fish meal with a view of the bay. I think that it was overpriced for what we got.

    The Spinnaker has been a “go to” for my whole adult life. From High School dates in the 60’s to dinner with Mom to watch the sail boats and the fog roll in, this place is always a treat. And Gary is still there after 47 YEARS working there. Now THAT is consistency!! Fish is as good and fresh as it gets and the chowder remains the beat everrrr! And the valet parker is a true gentleman!! All GOOD and is well at The “S”….. Thank You

    We sat outside in the back of the restaurant which is lovely and shaded at lunch time. Was perfect weather and watching the boats and people go by was quite enjoyable. Highly recommend sitting out there if no other concerns. Food was okay and I stuck with a salad. Oysters Rockerfeller were okay, very creamy and cheesy with little spinach.

    First, we were greeted by parking attendant Pete who was charming. Next, we were seated at a beautiful window table with an outstanding view of the Bay. Our server, Daniel, was extremely attentive to our wishes making some excellent suggestions for lunch. The food was amazing. This is our favorite restaurant.

    We ordered the Seafood Bouillabaisse and Halibut Piccata. The Bouillabaisse was quite good but the Halibut was overcooked and very dry. The service and ambiance, and the beautiful view of San Francisco, were excellent. Our servers were attentive and took care to ensure that any food allergies were identified and that the kitchen was made aware of the need to accommodate them.

    We went for lunch and started with the clam chowder which was very good. Then my husband ordered the chicken parm sandwich and I got the rock shrimp quesadilla. The sandwich had zero flavor and way more bread than chicken. The quesadilla was highly disappointing. 3 small pieces with NO flavor either. I had to take it back and didn’t order anything else. Fries were good. Would not go back.

    I love this place and have been coming back for over 20 years, but it's time for them to do a refresh. The place has the perfect view, but the building needs to be updated or I fear they will lose business as I'm not sure they appeal to the next generation.

    View was amazing. Seafood dishes were good but non seafood dishes was mediocre. Chicken was dry and rubbery. Prices were excessive. $12.95 for a small tiny ceasars salad. You're definitely paying for the view.

    It was my wife and my first time at The Spinnaker. The food and service was fantastic. Not sure why we have never been there, but we really enjoyed our dinner. The Outdoor seating is fantastic, while you are enjoying your meal you get to people watch all of the boats and sail boats coming in & out of the marina along with Pelicans and Seagulls that keep you entertained. We also saw what appeared to be a baby Dolphin swimming around where we were sitting.
