Disappointing Service, Okay Food
I decided to check out this restaurant because it had decent ratings, hoping for a quick meal. Unfortunately, my experience was marred by incorrect orders and poor customer service. When my order was wrong, a worker insisted I take it, stating it was more expensive, which felt presumptuous. She then became upset when I didn't accept the incorrect order. After it was remade, the food was handled carelessly, nearly falling off the dirty counter. The same worker placed a napkin on my sandwich, getting sauce on it. The BBQ salmon sandwich itself tasted alright, though the fish was undercooked, closer to raw inside. The clam chowder was decent, but not as exceptional as advertised. I also observed that staff seemed to treat Hispanic customers more favorably, which was confirmed by the rude worker's reaction. I will not return and advise others to consider this review before ordering.

Delicious Food, Great Service, Minor Toilet Issue
We had a delicious meal and were well looked after. Our recommendation goes out! The only downside is the few toilets, which lead to waiting times.

Great View, Service Mixed with Bill Surprise
The view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the window side was a highlight. The food was okay, though the portions were a bit small. Our waitress was courteous and helpful. However, we were quite surprised when it came to paying the bill. Initially, the tip for everyone together was around $17. When we asked to split the bill into three, she cheekily demanded $9 tip from each of us, which ended up being $10 more than expected.

Clam Chowder Just Okay, Service Timing Off
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. The Clam Chowder 🦐 was just okay, and I found it to be lacking in seasoning. I was also disappointed to have the starter served at the same time as the main plate, which disrupted the meal's flow. The service received a score of 3, food a 3, and atmosphere a 4.

Quick Seafood Fix at the Pier
My experience was a quick and easy way to grab some crab and try some seafood while visiting the pier. The fish and chips was our favorite.

Worst Crab Sandwich Experience
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I had the crab sandwich, which was by far the worst I have ever had. The bread was not toasted and felt dry. The crab meat was so blended it lacked texture. Overall, it was not worth the money.

Great Food, Misleading Menu Picture
My experience at the restaurant was a mix of delicious food and a disappointing service interaction. The BBQ salmon on bannock bread was excellent, and the fish and chips were also very good. However, my complaint stems from the menu's deceptive picture. The image for the salmon sandwich showed it served with fries, but when I received my order without them and inquired, I was told, "They're only included in the picture. Sorry. " This was quite surprising, and frankly, I was almost surprised the soda came with a cup.
