Fish and Chips were really good. The tarter sauce is made in-house. Great views and relaxing atmosphere.

Reaturant overlooked the water, right next to the sea lions, and a great view of Alcatraz! Menu was a good mix of Italian and seafood. Clam chowder was really good, and the linguine with clams with simple, but delicious!

We wanted to write an amazing review to thank our wonderful server Kiyoshi. We went to have a romantic dinner and the atmosphere was so pleasant we lost track of time and it was after hours. Kiyoshi overheard us stating we wouldn't have time to go to the chocolate shop for truffles and he offered to go for us! Who does that! I told him he was the sweetest man next to my boyfriend of course! He brought them back for us and when I asked him why he did that, he said he looks for opportunities to he kind to people. He made our wonderful night even more perfect, Thank you Kiyoshi!

First time visitor. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The wait staff was very attentive, and the service was quick. Clean restaurant, with a great view of the bay. Would recommend this place to anyone in the area.

Nice little pub located on Pier 39. The service was good and the beer was good. We did not try the food we just stopped in to have a beer. I had the 805 one of my favorite beers and my husband got a corona. The place is quaint and dollar bills cover the walls and ceilings with what every you want to write on you bill. Enjoy!

Had very enjoyable meal here. Great views, good food! Very busy, had to wait to be seated but this is to be expected at such a busy location. All staff very pleasant. Tracey was excellent- helpful, very friendly.

The view was great, especially at sunset. We got the Sicilian shrimp and the shrimp alfredo. Both were delicious and our server was very friendly.

Very tasty food with a great ocean view. We enjoyed watching the sea lions as they lolled about on their pontoons. Attentive service and good value for money.

Ate here on my first night in San Francisco and it didn’t disappoint. The seafood pasta was truly delicious and the wine accompaniment was perfect. Nice view as well. Would definitely recommend!

Sunset dinner overlooking Golden Gate Bridge. Husband had lasagne and I had chicken parmigiana and it was more than we could eat. Garlic bread was to die for.

We had an early lunch here whilst visiting San Fransisco on the Queen Victoria cruise ship.
The welcome was warm and friendly and the food was well prepared and cooked. Also, we had a nice window seat, so could appreciate the surrounding environment.
The only negative was that, 10 minutes after we had sat down, the restaurant was 'invaded' by a huge 'tour party' from the Far East. Literally, every table was taken up and the noise was deafening.
That said, our lunch was still very good.

We went on a Monday night at 5 pm. We got a table by the window that allowed us to watch the sea lions on Pier 39. We started with a cold Bud Light and a nice glass of wine. The fish and chips was very good. The fish was flavorful and crispy. The salmon was very flavorful as well. Che was great. He was very attentive while also allowing us to have a leisurely dinner without feeling rushed.

Loved their fried Calamari! Chicken alfreddo pasta was really okay. Their desserts (Caramel Pudding and Tiramisu) were out of the world. Definitely on the pricier side. Friendly staff. Would definitely go again just for the desserts!

Dinner was delicious, clam chowder, calamari, garlic crab, steamed mussels and clams, ravioli with meat sauce, baked salmon. Plus cakes and drinks. Will come again but only if Norman is our waiter. He did a wonderful job and made all of us feels very welcome.

We were seated quickly on a busy day. The Caprese salad and the side of ravioli was good. Service was very good. View was excellent.

Best baked salmon I've ever had. The chili sauce is to die for. Paired with the house Chardonnay, and it was great. Chowder was delicious as well! You can see Ghirardelli Square and the Golden Gate Bridge. Overall great experience.

Pricey for the amount of food. Bilingual host helped out, and service was great. Couldn't validate off of the phone, but great view!

Great pizza and pasta primavera. Service was excellent- friendly host and waiter. They also provided a phone charger for me. Prices were about as expected, maybe even reasonable considering it was on Pier 39.
