What Diners Say

★★★★★ "Absolutely love this place. My wife and I found this hidden gem last summer on a weekend trip to SF. So when I was in town one night for business, we made a drive intro eh city for a great dinner before our flight.

★ "This visit was unfortunately very disappointing.

Cioppino is my favorite dish and I order it every chance I get. This one is hands down the BEST I've had in San Francisco. This place is consistent with their dishes and never fail. The calamari was not too greasy and perfect to the crisp. I always enjoy introducing friends to this spot!

So many choices for good seafood, but we will surely go here again when we return. My wife had the seafood linguine in tomato cream ...

★★★★★ "Wonderful clam chowder with plenty ingredients. Flavors is well seasoned. Oyster is ok and fresh. Creamy pasta is in good quality.

We ordered two lemonades, but both were undrinkable from the first sip.
