Tracy was great! She checked on us frequently and even asked if my chowder was warm enough since I had stepped away for a few minutes otherwise she would bring me a hot new bowl. She was very friendly and courteous. Even got us to go cups for our lemonade refills without us asking. Honesty, i felt like we were VIP even though we only had an appetizer and clam chowder. I will definitely return because of her.

Went here with the family after the Alcatraz tour. Not only was the food excellent, but the service, the service made the dining their great! Chi, was our waiter, he was awesome! He had 4 tables that was his and he was at every table for everything they needed! Because of the experience, I can honestly say, that anytime I'm at Pier 39, this is where I'm going to eat! And being that my daughters are 19 and 22, I'm sure they'll be back with their boyfriends as well!

Really enjoyed our meal here. The pizzas and pasta are great, I had the margherita and my husband had the lasagna. Can't fault them, they were delicious. We also had an order of the garlic sourdough bread, but be advised they are very generous portions, we'd probably have been better with a half portion between the two of us. Service was brilliant, very attentive and polite. The food was a bit expensive, but it's Pier 39 so you have to take it in context. Overall, very good

We were on vacation and stumbled across this restaurant on the pier. Food was really good and flavorful. Cocktails were also amazing. Our waiter, Daniel C was phenomenal. Very knowledgeable of wines and menu. He had a lot of great suggestions. He often checked back on us making sure our experience was nothing less than superb. We will be back to San Francisco and definitely going back to Swiss Louis and requesting Daniel as our waiter. Great food and impeccable professional service! Can't go wrong!

Three of us went here after being stuffed from an earlier lunch and not wanting a big meal in the early evening. They were very accommodating knowing we would just be sharing a few things. The oysters were large and succulent. We also got the steamed clams and an order of sourdough bread for dipping which was flavored delicately. We then split an entree of pasta with seafood and that didn't disappoint either. Great view and nice and sort of upscale after seeing all the other things on pier 39

Excellent food. We ordered oysters, clam chowder, Dungeness crab and cioppino. The view was amazing and the service was outstanding. Will definitely come back the next time we're in the Bay Area. Favorite by far was the clam chowder which is surprising because I love crab.

We were here on our last night in San Francisco and Deon, our waiter, made it the very best! Amazing views of the bay and such wonderful Italian seafood, so charming and absolutely delicious food. We started out with the cracked Dungeness crab, so sweet and juicy. Then my husband had the Chicken Marsala and I had the Linguini and Clams, probably the best I've ever had. All the while the sun is setting on the bay. We couldn't have asked for anything better!! I highly recommend this place. It's on the 2nd level on Pier 39, don't miss it!

On a busy Sunday we pushed our way to the back of the Pier and found lovely patio dining with great food and no wait. I had the crab enchiladas, which were flavorful without being too salty or too "Tex Mex". Pretty good service as well.

My husband and I came to celebrate our anniversary. He had the Chicken Parmigiano and I the Lasagna. The view was amazing! You can see the Alcatraz, Sea lions, and water.

Service was fantastic! Our waiter Norman was so attentive and made us feel very welcome. The food and drinks were delicious! The Christmas decor and the view out the windows were beautiful. Great place for a romantic evening.

Excellent food served in a timely manner with attentive servers. On top of that there is an excellent view of the bay from almost every seat. My family all ordered seafood dishes with which we were more than satisfied. The house wine was good for the price (and quite a large carafe as well!). Would recommend to anyone looking for something a little more upscale at Pier 39.

The prices were not abnormally high. The folks in my party thought the portion were relatively large. We had to take home a third of the huge lasagna, and I remember remarking to the waiter - after finishing most of the lasagna, and my share of the cheesecake - that I owed my cardiologist an apology.

What can I say about this place? Amazing Italian food, gorgeous ocean view, kind and friendly waiter. I wish I had gotten his name, but whoever you are, you rock! Customer service levels were on point.
Fancy yet casual place. You can have wine tastings (I think), there were a bunch of elderly people with different wines on their table. Interesting concept; food restaurant service with wine tastings.
Came here during a very, very busy time. Wait time took about 30-50 minutes, and surprisingly, that was the shortest wait time out of all the places we looked at, that's what brought me here.
Was it worth it? For the food, yes.

- It started more than a half century ago in 1936 when a Swiss Italian immigrant named Louis opened the original Swiss Louis Restaurant in North Beach in San Francisco on Broadway Street. Over the years, as the popularity of the restaurant grew, so did the need for larger facilities. In 1978, after 42 years on Broadway in North Beach, this popular dining establishment moved to Pier 39 near Fisherman’s Wharf. Today, as in the past, Swiss Louis Restaurant continues to provide diners a cozy and casually elegant dining atmosphere. The current owner, also from Italy, came to Swiss Louis almost 50 years ago and continues the tradition of serving the finest Italian dishes and the freshest seafood.It started more than a half century ago in 1936 when a Swiss Italian immigrant named Louis opened the original Swiss Louis Restaurant in North Beach in San Francisco on Broadway Street.
