H HJanuary 3, 2015The view is incredible! The white wine, not so much. The crab was great but the sauce can be too overpowering for some.
katrienOctober 7, 2012Food & Service was amazing. Prix Fixe options are the same size as regular portions. Get a mojito and tiramisu to go with your meal. You won't regret it!
Angela WangelaMay 24, 2015The fish of fish n chips is beautiful! Flaky white, moist, with light delicate crispy seasoned batter. Good choice from the kids menu because if they don't finish it you won't mind helping them.
Gsus S.S.June 12, 2023Hidden in the upper floor of Pier 39, a little gem to be considered. Crab chowder, simply awesome, as well as the crab rolls. I recommend pick the house Chardonnay for the pairing
Bre HammondJuly 16, 2022Cioppino is so good and has plenty of seafood in it. The sourdough bread rolls are excellent. Mad that they have Pepsi and not Coke for drinks but I had a beautiful in honor of the Bay
Uri Rid CrJune 7, 2017I love the Crab Chowder. For entree we ordered a crab, shrimp and mussels combo that was pretty good.
Kory KoryAugust 2, 2016Crab and shrimp were amazing!!! The pasta looked great as well! Our waiter, Carlos was amazing!!!

Maina KhojaJuly 12, 2015Book a head and go starving and with company to share. Chowder, crab and cioppino not to miss.
Eugene AeroFebruary 16, 2015Calamari: 7. Crab chowder: too creamy, personally: 6. Whole killer crab: rich butter+garlic flavor and good soft texture 9.
DxbMMay 17, 2017Crab chowder wasn't great but the crab cakes were definitely the best I've ever had in my life ...
Ken GazdaApril 19, 2013While it is on Piuer 39 in the tourist section, this is great food, any crab dish is fantastic and the Chiopini;s are great
SingleMan ProblemsDecember 23, 2013If you are adventurous, go for the whole crab. Things will get very messy, but that's all part of the experience.
Kristin BedardJuly 15, 2010delcious food, friendly staff, nice views. prix fixe menu options. if you like crab and you're visiting SF, you don't want to miss this. also Pier 39 has great shops and you can see the sea lions.
Pinche LizFebruary 9, 2012This place is insane! The crab is to die for w/ their secret garlic sauce. You won't be disappointed. Best crab I've had so far.- Michelle VargasApril 22, 2015Amazing view! One whole crab is perfect for 2 people ;) I will come back for sure!

Marie-Anne RamondSeptember 1, 2012Great place on Pier 39. The food is excellent. Try the killer crab, you will enjoy it;)
Santiago DuarteSeptember 5, 2014A little too touristy but a good plave to eat. I recommend the clam chowder and stone crab.
Scott SteadAugust 31, 2014Don't waste your time on anything but the crab. It's worth the $38 you will drop on it.
Josh LawtonFebruary 17, 2012A cup of crab chowder is a tasty appetizer and just the right portion for dinner. Very hearty.
Brian StraussFebruary 18, 2019Overrated. Efficient service with a nice view. But the crab is frozen even in season and it’s quite expensive. The cioppino was chock full of seafood but the sauce was underdeveloped.
Patricia Leite HuamaniApril 11, 2013Excellent restaurant, with a nice decoration. The Crab Alfredo is awesome!
Tim ReynoldsJuly 16, 2011Crystal the bartender is a fabulous server. She can teach the proper crab eating technique. And supply a bib!
Alexandra ButovaNovember 6, 2011Star with crab chowder cup-size and then go gor Killer Crab. Crab cakes are really awesome btw.
