Stick with the cafe for affordable meal options. Vegetarian soup & sandwiches were light/good. Sit outside by the live fireplace for good music & lovely breeze at the piers . (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Lydia Unicørn

I really liked the salad with cranberries , walnuts and goat cheese . The prices are pretty okay if you consider the location and that it is in San Francisco...

Karen Huang

Get the cioppino to share. It’s the most expensive item on the menu but it’s totally worth it. Served with warm toasted bread !

Tim Parker

If you're just a couple, consider eating at the bar to avoid waiting for a table. And also consider ordering from the bar food menu which is a substantially cheaper than the main menu.

Colleen Showalter

Reasonable price for SFO and really good. Great service, fast. Make a reservation to beat the wait.

Justin Sullivan

A great place for groups and a place locals don't have to be embarrassed to be seen in on Fisherman's Wharf. Also: Not good if you're trying to take bread out of your diet.

Natalie M

Very touristy but good food. Their baguette burger is fantastic and the shrimp and mushroom risotto is my fav. Great service too!

Wim Godden

Their clam chowder in sourdough bowl is excellent (best I've eaten so far - and I've eaten quite a few !), salmon was great. Too bad they don't have the 'select 3' desert special anymore.

PILAR PRENDES

Dinner was great!! Best bread !! In all sfco!!! I also have breakfast and it's amazing!

Michelle Kahya

Every time I come here its even better than I remember. This place is classy , from the hostess to the server it's where you want to be on the wharf. Come often and enjoy!

Connie Chiu

Love: artichoke/crab dip , crab cake , paella (scallops so good!), corn/crab bisque. Everything is tasty!

Richard Revilla

Dungeness Crab Cake sourdough sandwich was amazing. Try the Crab and Corn Bisque also.

Maeve Daly

The sourdough bread critters are so cool! Worth visiting just to look at them.

melissa ta

Besides the delicious and well known clam chowder in a bread bowl , make sure to save room for dessert and get the sourdough apple pie !!

Hard Rocker

Great place to have clam chowder . Friendly and helpful staff . Nice view of Fisherman’s Wharf.

Jodi

Wonderful experience. Service great and food even better! Try the clam & corn chowder , gnocchi with lobster and sourdough apple pie !

Roma Flores Castrejón

Of course the clam chowder in a bread bowl . Also had the bacon grilled cheese which was great.

James C

Try the bread it really is the best that is out there. The soup bread bowl either comes in individual or group portions both are worth it.

Kathy

Best clam chowder ! Although, it's not the best place to go for cocktail drinks . Bakery tour is a hit for children!

Christopher Pestano

Known for their sourdough breads , here are the cute animal breads :)

Max

Oyster happy hour is a hidden gem . Dollar oysters and sour beers !

Clarissa S

skip the line and order your food at the souvenir shop's register. the clam chowder in a bread bowl was tasty. ☺️

wes gray

Food is excellent - bread bowl is where it's at! Can't go wrong with the crab bisque or the clam chowder !

Alain Gaeremynk

The beef stew is pretty good and, for the lonely traveler, the barmen is pretty friendly

Adam Klaproth

The crispy sea bass it excellent!

Emilio C

This is a really cool bakery where they make sourdough bread .

Gabrielita

Try the Classic Clam Chowder in the signature bread bowls ...!!!! yummy!!

Momoko

The breadbowl is amazing. The Dungeness Shrimp and Crab is a delicacy too. Great food and splendid view .

Latha S

Coffee is good, Sourdough egg Benedict with spinach

Beth B

One would think that a restaurant located above a sourdough assembly line/factory would serve warm sourdough bread with dinner . They do not. It is ice cold.

Doug Daulton

The Mission Shrimp Cocktail was a really spicy surprise! Try it. You'll like it!

Mihika Verma

Touristy but a good spot if you're showing people around fisherman's wharf

Jesse Davey

Clam chowder was good but not great. Ive had better. The sourdough it comes in though is exceptional.

Celia Lanzotti

Hard to choose on the menu. Everything sounds delicious!

Memo Acosta

Try the baked goat cheese and the clam chowder . Sourdough gnocchi good too, unless you're hungry (small portion).
