Yummy Food and Great Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was yummy, with the crab cakes and parmigiano fish being particularly great. The atmosphere was nice and cozy, and the service was excellent. 👍

Worth the Wait for Delicious Food
Our experience at the restaurant involved a wait of over an hour for our party of 6. However, the food and service were exceptionally good and made the wait worthwhile. They offered complimentary wine and water while we waited, which was a super nice touch. The scallops, halibut, calamari, and clam chowder were all beyond delicious.

Excellent Seafood and Friendly Atmosphere!
My boyfriend and I noticed this seafood restaurant on the side of the road while driving to Lands End park trails this evening. On our way back, we decided to stop for dinner, and I'm so glad we did! There was a small wait around 6 pm on a Saturday night, but they welcomed us warmly and offered complementary wine while we waited. The atmosphere was friendly, and the food was excellent and so fresh. We highly recommend the spicy snapper; we'd love to have it again on our return. Everything on the menu looked appealing, and we're eager to come back and try more. Can't wait until next time!

SF Classic for Fried Prawns & Wine
My experience at this restaurant was a true treat for non-fussy fish and seafood lovers. It's an SF classic for fried prawns and wine while you wait. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was a perfect 5/5. While reservations aren't required, the overall experience was a delightful dinner.

Best Seafood and Crab Cakes!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. I found it to have the best seafood around, and especially the best crab cakes! I've been enjoying this restaurant for years and always bring out-of-towners here for a meal they won’t forget.

Fantastic Food and Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food, specifically the fish, was excellent, and the wine was also great. The atmosphere was cozy and pleasant, contributing to the overall best experience in SF. This was after a short hike to "Lands End, " which offered amazing views of the GG without the crowds.

Aromatic Discovery with Delicious Food and Great Service
We stumbled upon this small restaurant by chance, drawn in by its pleasant aroma. Our intuition proved correct, as the food was delicious and the staff were friendly. The male waiter was particularly active and served us promptly, like a genie from Aladdin's lamp. We left good tips and wished him all the best. Thank you.

A Timeless SF Gem for 46 Years
I took my wife here for our very first date 46 years ago, and it still possesses the wonderful charm it had back then. It's truly the BEST in SF.

Consistently Good Neighborhood Gem
We've visited this cozy neighborhood restaurant a dozen times over 40+ years, and the food and service have consistently been good. A free glass of jug wine is a nice touch for those waiting in the overflow line outside. We enjoyed the fresh seafood and salads, accompanied by warm sourdough bread and butter. Last night, I had the grilled snapper with Cajun spices. While the spices overpowered the delicate fish, it was still good overall. Our friendly waiter provided garlic butter and tartar sauce, both tasty, and the tartar sauce helped to calm the Cajun spice. He also generously offered us an extra shrimp salad. My wife's trout was great, though just barely overcooked. Finding typical limited SF parking can be difficult; the best bet is along the golf course a block to the north. The bathrooms were clean.
