    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.

    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

    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

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

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

    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.

    Don't waste your time on anything but the crab. It's worth the $38 you will drop on it.
