It's starting to be a habit especially on beautiful warm days on San Francisco. Had a late lunch meeting and enjoyed the sun. We has fish and chips and a Cobb salad . Both were yummy.

non-alcoholic beer can only be found at the inside bar , just remember that before waiting in line outside. but also question how much you're really getting out of that diet brew.

Megan Masters

Great spot for a warm day. Food & hangout edgy and oh so San Francisco.

Nathan Garvie

I love this place more every time I go but anything outside the calamari , guacamole , mimosa , sangria , you're on your own.

The benedicts are great, and come with nicely fried potatoes . But keep in mind that you're paying for the views , not the food.

Chuck Coulson

A long time favorite! Check out the live music or just go for the food, drink, and patio !

Jenna Black

Get the donut holes, they come with a yummy chocolate dipping sauce . Really great food and mimosas . Amazing water view

Claudia A.

best before it gets dark, as it becomes more 'bar ' when the sun goes down. eat outside near the water with the kids and watch the boats + birds.

Have the huevos rancheros the way the server likes it-with chorizo and avocado but go ahead and ask for a few tortilla chips for crunch.

Started off a bar crawl here, perfect place to take in a view and order local beers on tap .
