What a good place to eat! It's on the water at Pier 39 and we could see the Sea Lions from our dinner table. We ordered Sourdough Bread and Garlic Bread for appetizers and they were both very good.

many choices, many of them very good, at Pier 39. We chose this location with it's simple yet very good selection. We started with the calamari, the dipping sauces were very good as was the calamari.

Best baked salmon I've ever had. The chili sauce is to die for. Paired with the house Chardonnay, and it was great. Chowder was delicious as well! You can see Ghirardelli Square and the Golden Gate

All I can say is as good if not better than Carmine's NY!!! Just wish bread was included.the seafood was fresh and delicious. The chicken cutlet parm was so tender you could cut it with your fork.

The food was delicious especially the marinara the seafood salad my husband loved he had a shrimp cocktail he devoured and said it had so much flavor. We will definitely be back next time we visit

Walking the Wharf, we decided it was time for a little Italian fare. The Lasagna was Really Good! As was the service. My granddaughter said the "Shirley Temple" served was the best she's ever had!

We enjoyed our dinner & the sunset views of the bay! Our waiter was attentive & not overbearing. We had calamari, clams with linguini, & mussels with linguine. We had a very pleasant sunset dinner.

Nice place with a decent view of the harbor. The staff was very friendly. It wasn't too busy and we were sat right away. We had the chowder, 1/2 Dungeness crab and oysters. All were very good.

She alone made the experience the best. The views were exquisite and the overall atmosphere was very nice. The price was in line with the food and area. Thanks again for a 5 star experience.

We happened to find Swiss Louis as we were visiting Pier 39. Deciding to have dinner here was the best decision we could have made. My New York steak was cooked perfectly and had great flavor.
Will TMay 25, 2018
This is a reasonable bar serving pub food such as pizza and pasta at reasonable prices. The pizzas are quite big so it is easy to share. You can also enjoy a good beer selection

Everyone was lined up for the Seafood restaurant so we came here. Glad we did. Really enjoyed my pasta while my husband enjoyed the pizza. Service was great. Had a great table by the window.

Here on vacation we wanted a nice seafood place with a view. This fit the bill exactly and at a very reasonable price. Portions were so generous that we shared a massive shrimp cocktail

we attended this restaurant as part of tour evening excursion. We had a limited choice of menu and despite seeing some frosty previous reviews we all enjoyed an excellent meal without exception.

The view from the bar is great, as you're elevated above the tables and looking out at the bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz. The seal hangout is right below the restaurant too.
Big AMay 20, 2016
When ever I go to S.F. i will ONLY eat at Swiss Louie Rest. The service is the best, the food is always prepared to my family liking and I have never had a bad meal there.

Came here when I was at Pier 39 with a friend of mine in 2018. It was beautifully decorated with Christmas stuff and garland inside with lovely holiday music playing. Very warm and welcoming
DevoOctober 19, 2018
Walking by and stopped for drinks and two soup bowl specials. They were great tasting, beer choices were awesome. The service was great too. Definitely would highly recommend.

Tracy was our server & was very sweet and attentive. We had 2 cocktails which were tasty. We had the half baked crab, the pesto linguine with salmon plus garlic bread for an appetizer.
J. B.August 11, 2016
Omg this view! Can not beat it. And the garlic Dungeness crab is to die for! We sat at the bar during happy hour, fabulous bartenders and decent happy hour drinks.

I got a chicken fettuccine Alfredo and it was delicious, creamy, bursting with flavor. My sister ordered the chicken Parmigiano and although she's one to never finish her plate , she did.

Took us a little bit to get waited on, but then Wendy, Edgar and Oscar all took care of us. They were very pleasant, friendly, and took great care of us.
H. HusockAugust 24, 2018
From the time I walked in there until we closed the restaurant down, the service was amazing. The appetizers of fried calamari, and crab cakes were amazing.

Went in for early dinner late lunch. Sat outside. It was perfect. The food portions were huge! The staff was super friendly. The garlic bread was a must!

Our server was great, view was cool and the food was ok. We ordered crab, steak & lobster and kids meal; price was a bit touristy. I would recommend this place for sure if you are in Fishermans Wharf.
MauraAugust 1, 2016
This place is good one of the best shrimp Louie I have ever had. Kind of pricey but your on the pier! I high recommend this place it's a nice spot to eat!

What a gem of a restaurant! We were treated superbly by a terrific waitress named Tracy. She was very cheerful and helpful. She seemed to really love her job
LeliaJanuary 6, 2017
The service is among one of the most excellent in all of the restaurants I have tried in my life! Wonderful, accommodating servers. It's a beautiful, light ambiance, quite sophisticated!
JeriSeptember 11, 2020
The welcome was warm and friendly and the food was well prepared and cooked. Also, we had a nice window seat, so could appreciate the surrounding environment.
ShiaJuly 30, 2020
Sunset dinner overlooking Golden Gate Bridge. Husband had lasagne and I had chicken parmigiana and it was more than we could eat. Garlic bread was to die for.
MyrtleJune 29, 2016
Outstanding food. So far it's been the best Fish n Chips I had. Imagine that I also came from Seattle Washington and the Fish n Chip here is better than Ivars.
MarinaDecember 17, 2020
Lunch on Sunday was very nice but made even nicer for my wife and I by our super waiter Juardo. He was professional, warm, knowledgeable especially about Forbes Island. Thanks Juardo.
IsipandiOctober 13, 2012
Food is nice, a little pricey but ok. You have to try any dessert! Expensive, yes, but delicious!! Tiramisu and chocolate mousse cake are incredible. Nice views of the sea lions too.
CatherineOctober 2, 2020
We chose this restaurant because the menu gave us both options based on our preferences. Our food was very tasty and well prepared. The place was super busy.
