California Fish Market - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was outstanding, particularly with their incredibly fresh seafood. We began with the combo crudo Calabrese, which featured raw halibut, salmon, and scallop, topped with capers, Calabrian chili, and sea salt. It was absolutely delicious and quickly became a favorite. For our main courses, we enjoyed the linguine granchio, a perfectly cooked linguine with Dungeness crab meat, tomatoes, and pepper. The Coppino was another standout, generously filled with mussels, clams, scallop, calamari, and shrimp in a rich tomato-based stew. Everything was exceptional, and I highly recommend this place if you're craving fresh, flavorful seafood!

It appears this restaurant may have gone out of business. We were standing outside, waiting for our reservation next door.

I was looking forward to trying this place, but unfortunately, it was closed on Sunday. There was no notice on Google Maps or their website, and I couldn't see any sign on their door. I wasted my time walking over.

After walking past this place for 30 years, I finally had the chance to eat here for the first time. My experience was fantastic, particularly the sauted prawns which were excellent. The service was also excellent, complementing the great food.

My experience at this charming small restaurant in the heart of North Beach was extremely pleasant. The service was attentive, cordial, and friendly. During the afternoon, the atmosphere was quiet and very enjoyable. I ordered the Risotto de Mare, which was outstanding. It was a generous portion and featured a large variety of seafood with the best fresh flavors. We chose this restaurant for my husband's birthday, and it turned out to be quite romantic. We will definitely be back.

Our family had an AMAZING dinner at The Market. We can't speak highly enough about our experience. The Market has it all: food and service that can't be beat, a great Italian wine list, and fair prices. My wife and I had our most enjoyable dinner with our 10 and 12-year-old children in years. Every dish was a ringer, though the whole fish was the most PERFECT. The service was the most attentive we've had in years, superior to other (more expensive) places we ate in San Francisco. This will be a stop every time we're in San Francisco!

We had a great experience eating dinner on New Year's Eve. Our party of four ordered the seafood stew, Snapper, crab cake, Caesar salad, and lobster. Everything was delicious and exceeded my expectations. We had a reservation, but our table was not ready upon arrival, which caused a 10-minute wait and some agitation. However, the food was incredibly satisfying and generously portioned. The only minor drawback was that the table bread wasn't as good as the bread served with the seafood stew.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The staff was incredibly kind and even spoke Italian. I absolutely loved the lobster ravioli and the cioppino fish & sauce. The wine was good too; we enjoyed a white fazio. I highly suggest this place!

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic, starting with the Beau Soleil oysters, which were incredibly fresh and delicious – a perfect start to the meal. The complimentary sourdough bread was a lovely touch. For our mains, the Ravioli con Aragosta was a standout; you could really taste the lobster, and the accompanying shrimp were cooked to perfection. While the Linguine al Pesto wasn’t quite al dente, the pesto sauce was absolutely incredible, making up for any texture issues. The Scallops with Meunière sauce were simply stunning. The service was excellent, with our waiter Raul being attentive, kind, and making us feel very welcome. The separate plates for the scallops and pasta were a thoughtful detail that enhanced the dining experience.

My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. I had a reservation for 7: 30 PM, but the restaurant called me at 6: 50 PM to inform me that the kitchen was closing and they would not be able to serve us. This was a very lame and unexpected cancellation.
