My kids and I had the clam chowder, prawns and crab cocktails. All were delicious. Soups were nice and hot. Prawns and crab were fresh and tasted great. Service was excellent.

I don't know where the other people ate when they wrote their tips. I'm from NYC and I know good food and good service. This place was fantastic food and service.

I expect a restaurant in this area to know how to deal with seafood. Not the case here. Under spiced, little seasoning, and they didn't clean the back of the shrimp!! Good service though.

Roasted garlic crab and crab avocado. Yum! Really love thus place, even though it's in a touristy location.

You gotta try the spaghetti al Antonio with crab. And you better love garlic, cause they do bring it!

Good clam chowder not amazing but good. Very disappointed their bread is serve cold. If it was warm the place would be taken up a notch. The service is excellent though.

A determinedly homey restaurant in the middle of tourist central. The misto dish is lovely.

The worst crab I've ever had! Dungeness crabs are a local specialty, but I couldn't even finish my food (& I was hungry). Basically a Fisherman's Wharf tourist trap. Better options in the city.

Service was good food was severely undercooked and not very good at all.

Avoid calamari and Francisco's Misto... watery, tasteless sauce and minimal seafood.
