    AMAZING! Make sure and head over to Pacific Cafe! The wait may be awhile, but trust me it is worth every minute! There is not a dish on the menu that is any less than amazing!

    Come here when in the star system, but not for the free wine. Best seafood around, never had anything I didn't like, just a matter of degree. Best trout I've ever, large portions. No droids though.

    An unpretentious San Francisco staple with spot on Clam chowder that goes well with the giant hunk of sourdough. Get crab cakes or the salmon w/ house made tarter sauce. Plus Mitchells ice cream!

    Old style San Francisco seafood restaurant with great service. Everyone talks about the free wine but the real star is the seafood which is perfectly prepared. Everything is good.

    It says the place is open till 9:30, we showed up at 9:08 and they were closed already. Just keep that in mind when you're planning to come here ;)

    I come to this place every time I am in San Francisco and I love it! Free wine while you wait (or one glass at your table) and great food.

    Red wine available by request while you wait if you prefer that over white, but the white wine gets refilled more often.

    Pray for a large crowd in order to enjoy the free wine while you wait for a table. Doesn't matter what you order; it's all delicious! A true SF institution!

    Place is open from 5-9:30pm everyday but stop by on weekdays. Go after 8pm and the wait is negligible.. there will be a wait before then. Order Torbet FTW.

    Free wine while you wait for a table. Go on a holiday at 7 and get topped off 15 times.
