Food & 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!

The view is incredible! The white wine , not so much. The crab was great but the sauce can be too overpowering for some.

Angela Wangela

The 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.

Hidden 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 Hammond

Cioppino 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

While it is on Piuer 39 in the tourist section, this is great food, any crab dish is fantastic and the Chiopini;s are great

Crab with The secret sauce ( garlic )

SingleMan Problems

If you are adventurous, go for the whole crab . Things will get very messy, but that's all part of the experience.

Matthew Huie

You can't go wrong with the seafood cioppino .

Eugene Aero

Calamari : 7. Crab chowder : too creamy, personally: 6. Whole killer crab : rich butter+garlic flavor and good soft texture 9.

Santiago Duarte

A little too touristy but a good plave to eat. I recommend the clam chowder and stone crab .

Brian Strauss

Overrated. 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.
