Time Out San Francisco

Established in 1849, Tadich is the city 's oldest restaurant , and still one of its most popular. Tuck into old-school San Francisco dishes such as crab Louis, shrimp a la Newburg and much more. Read more

SFist

Tadich's classic Cioppino includes clams , prawns , scallops , shrimp , crabmeat , mussels , and white fish cooked in a tomato-based sauce and served with garlic bread . Consider it part soup , part ritual. Read more

Perfect place to go for a taste of San Francisco history. If you want to visit one of the oldest restaurant in SF and one of the oldest in the country ,come here. They have great service+stiff drinks.

Ms Helene

Seafood cioppino recipe hasn’t changed for 100+ years I’m told. Served with crispy garlic bread $37

SFist

The menu is delightfully old-school and the best place to sit here is, of course, at the counter. Really, you aren't a true San Franciscan until you've been here at least once. Read more

Mari

Classic old school SF joint. Get the surf and turf and a martini and enjoy a slice of California history.

Cyndi Gibson

Everything is amazing! Love the history, the quaintness and old time feel. Food is excellent. We never miss an opportunity to dine here while in San Francisco????

Kiana Lynn

Crab cakes and seafood sauté are a must! Cakes full of meat, not bread and mirepoix - with a mean sauce. Sauté with large shrimp , scallops and crab chunks, in a delicious butter sauce . Craveworthy.

PureWow

California’s oldest restaurant is where the Financial District crowd goes for three-martini lunches served by white-coated waitstaff . Stick with the classics here: cioppino and a strong drink . Read more

Eater

Tadich is a font of iconic dishes: but for the sheer San Franciscan hubris of putting bacon and fried oysters into an omelet , we have to give it to the Hangtown Fry . Read more

Eater

Open since 1849, Tadich Grill is a San Francisco tradition, complete with a wood-fired grill that outputs satisfyingly charred steaks . Read more

Hamid Azhar

Cioppino is rocking there.. its the most popular plate and highly recommended Chowder Soup is also tasty..! don't miss this restaurant if you're visiting SFO!

Carrie Collins

I love the old school San Francisco atmosphere! While the service leaves a lot to be desired, the seafood is fresh and if you tell me there's a better cioppino in the city , I'll fight you.

Rebecca Goberstein

Best clam chowder in the city . Amazing seafood . Started by 2 Croatian brothers during the Gold Rush, making it the oldest restaurant in the state . This place rocks. No reservations , so get here early.

Marc Singer

Great classic place. Can’t go wrong with the seafood options . Also go for a classic drink like a martini or a manhattan . It fits the vibe.

Ricky Sherrill

Very old school with very good classic dishes. Professional service and I have never been disappointed with my menu chooses. Good cocktails too.

Took almost 20 years here to go. Will not wait to come back. Fantastic old school vibe. Quiet . Great staff . Bitters and soda with a crab Louie . Delish.

Jerry

Old school San Fran restaurant feels like a NY steakhouse . The crab cakes were awesome and the house specials were very good. Not very kid friendly and if u bring more than 6 it's a tight squeeze.

Jen Martin

Make friends with Pete at the bar . Good stories and service with a smile. Request Bartender's choice and soak in his cocktail artistry .

Brian Selig

Its been a long time since I have been here, but I had the Cioppino last November. It is unforgettably delicious. I can't wait to return to SF to order it again.

Anna Colibri

Tadich Grill is a wonderful piece of San Francisco history. Go for lunch on a Friday with a business associate or collaborator and feel old school and glamorous :)

Maryam Aly

Monkfish was delicious! The rice pudding is great for a light dessert after one of their filling dinners .

Jinnie L

old school vibe/charm place - kinda like it ;P dungenous crab cocktail , clam chowder , n cioppino were delicious~ service was fast n good.

Sabina B.

If you leave here without ordering Cioppino , congrats you have failed at life. Pro tip: go family style and pair it with appetizers .

Deborah Au-Yeung

Old school. Amazing cioppino - do it. Get the sand dabs , a local sweet pacific fish like a better dover sole. and do those Dungeness crab cakes .

Brodie Olmstead

Classic San Francisco establishment. Great service, great seafood . Don't forget your martini with those oysters !

Garry Wise

This is the best value in all of San Francisco. Amazing seafood specials. Ask your waiter what they would eat today! And don't pass up on dessert !

SFGate Manager

San Francisco's longest-standing restaurant continues to hold its own as a bar . The handful of stools up front are where you go for a proper, no-pretense super-dry martini or rye Manhattan .

Chris H.

The mixed seafood platter for two is great. It's served on a bed of iceberg lettuce so basically ends up being a big seafood salad .

G G

The calamri app was excellent with the two dipping sauces . The crab leg cocktail was great also. The lamb chops were just ok. The crab and lobster thermador was just ok too much cheese in it.

AskMen

Order an old school cocktail (i.e. no mojitos ) while you wait for crab cakes topped with a tangy marinara sauce and a steaming bowl of the original San Francisco treat: Cioppino . Read more

The Bold Italic

The Tadich's filet mignon is top drawer – this is an atypical spot where medium rare actually means medium rare-though the sea bass is a close second. This spot demands a two-hour lunch and a martini . Read more

Island Bruin

Cioppino is classic. Great cocktails and wine also. Crowded but worth the wait.

Kat ????

Get the Cioppino and clam chowder !!! It's absolutely delicious!!

Gayle Maccia

Classic at its best! Lobster Thermidor is killer. Great drinks, ambiance and food!

Nicholas Boos

You'll never go wrong with cioppino and a rye manhattan . Sit at the bar for the true Tadich experience.

Craig Villamor

Get a taste of old San Francisco here, from the staff to the food to the cocktails .

S. Fan

Some of the best oyster ever have, pairing with extra spicy bloody! Hmm~

Alan R

Classic SF seafood for decades! You haven't lived until you have been here. Try the bouliabase

Travel + Leisure

Get the signature seafood cioppino , with clams , prawns , scallops , bay shrimp , crabmeat , mussels and white fish .

Jack Bowen

Got a Gibson martini , clam chowder , and the pet take sole filet. Haven't enjoyed a meal that much in a long time.

Belinda Ditton

It's all about the cioppino ! Go light on the amazing sourdough while you wait for your food. You're gonna need the room!

Meaghan H

SF institution with amazing fish dishes . Won't take reservations , so have to chance snagging a table

Brian Strauss

In my top 5 restaurants in SF for sure. Get the Sand Dabs and a martini .

The Hangtown Fry , an olden-day dish – oysters and eggs and bacon , too. I think if God has taught us anything, it's that he wants us to eat oysters and bacon together. – Anthony Bourdain Read more
