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

Happy Hour: Mon - Fri 4-7pm. The Deal: $1 oysters (usually $3), $5 sourdough pepperoni pizza; a selection of $6 craft cocktails, $5 house wine, $5 well drinks, and beers that are $3 to $4

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...

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

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

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.

Dinner was great!! Best bread!! In all sfco!!! I also have breakfast and it's amazing!
Richard RevillaOctober 15, 2014
Dungeness Crab Cake sourdough sandwich was amazing. Try the Crab and Corn Bisque also.
James CJuly 29, 2013
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.
Connie ChiuFebruary 8, 2020
Love: artichoke/crab dip, crab cake, paella (scallops so good!), corn/crab bisque. Everything is tasty!
melissa taDecember 21, 2012
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!!
Maeve DalyMay 15, 2015
The sourdough bread critters are so cool! Worth visiting just to look at them.
Hard RockerMarch 29, 2018
Great place to have clam chowder. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice view of Fisherman’s Wharf.
JodiJanuary 24, 2013
Wonderful experience. Service great and food even better! Try the clam & corn chowder, gnocchi with lobster and sourdough apple pie!
KathyMarch 25, 2013
Best clam chowder! Although, it's not the best place to go for cocktail drinks. Bakery tour is a hit for children!
Clarissa SSeptember 15, 2014
skip the line and order your food at the souvenir shop's register. the clam chowder in a bread bowl was tasty. ☺️
Roma Flores CastrejónJanuary 18, 2017
Of course the clam chowder in a bread bowl. Also had the bacon grilled cheese which was great.
wes graySeptember 2, 2012
Food is excellent - bread bowl is where it's at! Can't go wrong with the crab bisque or the clam chowder!
Christopher PestanoApril 25, 2015
Known for their sourdough breads, here are the cute animal breads :)
Alain GaeremynkOctober 9, 2014
The beef stew is pretty good and, for the lonely traveler, the barmen is pretty friendly
Beth BOctober 21, 2014
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.
Adam KlaprothAugust 3, 2013
The crispy sea bass it excellent!
Emilio CJuly 13, 2015
This is a really cool bakery where they make sourdough bread.
GabrielitaAugust 14, 2013
Try the Classic Clam Chowder in the signature bread bowls...!!!! yummy!!
Jean-Baptiste BourduFebruary 4, 2012
Friendly waiter. Great staff. The crabs are from the bay. At 5am boats deliver the restaurant.
Jesse DaveyNovember 7, 2022
Clam chowder was good but not great. Ive had better. The sourdough it comes in though is exceptional.
MomokoOctober 6, 2011
The breadbowl is amazing. The Dungeness Shrimp and Crab is a delicacy too. Great food and splendid view.
Mihika VermaAugust 27, 2016
Touristy but a good spot if you're showing people around fisherman's wharf
MaxOctober 8, 2015
Oyster happy hour is a hidden gem. Dollar oysters and sour beers!
Doug DaultonApril 25, 2012
The Mission Shrimp Cocktail was a really spicy surprise! Try it. You'll like it!
Latha SJune 3, 2016
Coffee is good, Sourdough egg Benedict with spinach
Celia LanzottiDecember 14, 2013
Hard to choose on the menu. Everything sounds delicious!
Amber LambertMay 1, 2013
Most amazing spinach and artichoke dip ever! (With crab meat)
Elon LenkaMarch 16, 2011
Try the baked goat cheese and the clam chowder. Sourdough gnocchi good too, unless you're hungry (small portion).
Cody BeesonJune 8, 2011
Bread was great, Pizza and tacos were good, Drinks strong but tasted cheap... Service by Jennifer was steller...oh yeah you'll be waiting. And it's pricy.
Memo AcostaJanuary 9, 2016

Great place to spend your time in SF

Delicioso clam chowder!!
Marieke HenselAugust 15, 2011
If you eat at the restaurant, access to the museum is for free! :-)
Alex GonzalezAugust 29, 2014
Very touristy but the sourdough is tasty. Not worth getting the bread bowl of soup; it's too much bread for almost no soup.
Donna GoffMay 20, 2010
If you can't have any seafood, try the Grilled Vegetable Harvest. Delicious! You won't be disappointed.
AceJune 26, 2014
