My family had a great dinner yesterday, Feb 25 around 7pm. We had the seafood special platter, linguini and clams, cajun fish & chips and clam chowder bowl. Everything tastes excellent. We also got a great server. For some reason, they ask you to do the tipping on an ipad. I just saw that the tip amount has not been applied in my credit card. It seems that instead of my scribble, I should have written the tip amount. I meant to tip our server 20%. Our server is so polite that I hardly noticed a reaction. I am so sorry I did not understand your app, just let us do it in paper - it was confusing
This was a super busy Resturant located at pier 39.. The food was amazing and the ambience was also very warm and the view where we got our seat was just breathtaking. I came here with my old friend, reservation is required before coming to this restaurant. We were not aware of it as we made a sudden plan so as soon as I was there in the Resturant, they took our number and also let us know that they will. It will take like 10 minutes waiting maximum, but they gave us a call within three minutes as soon as they got a seat. The service was good also being a very busy restaurant they served our food pretty fast and very attentive and helpful as they helped us selecting food. This restaurant is located just the opposite of Carousel at Pier 39.
This restaurant has an amazing service and food. The view you get while dinning is spectacular. I was a party of two and got seated within 10 minutes or so even though it was busy. Our serve did a phenomenal job didn't get to catch her name. But they are constantly checking up on you while not disturbing your dinner! ++ The food was delicious, got a steak and it was great. The sauce they use tops it off! Garlic mashed potatoes are a must with those veggies. I would definitely recommend this place to to others and will be back myself as well when I return to San Fran.
When my phone was slowly dying and I realized I had forgotten my charger at home, I didn't expect the staff at Pier Market to be the ones who came to my rescue. The atmosphere is exceptionally welcoming, with a nice view of the sea lions near the windows, and one of the hosts went out of his way to find me a charger that I could use for my phone. I had decided to order Clam Chowder in a sourdough bowl alongside raspberry tea, which tasted exceptional. I suppose the gratitude may have allowed it to taste better, but there was something soothing about warm, savory soup in a bread bowl while dealing with the cold ocean breeze (maybe it's the feeling of home). The raspberry tea was also refreshing, and brought a great amount of comfort for an otherwise distressing situation. Is this a tourist trap? Who knows! But if I ever end up in Pier 39 again, I would be more than happy to return.
Some people might consider pier restaurants to be a bit of a tourist trap, but hey, as a former local, I still like the food here! Definitely good after a day of walking around the pier and you're wanting to sit down for a scenic meal. Clam chowder was the highlight, of course. Love the sourdough bread bowl: Whether it's just freshly made here or some other trick, the bread is really, really soft. Sometimes I can't finish all the bread because parts of it are too hard, but the bread bowl here was perfect. Cake was not great, unfortunately. Really dense, really heavy, and way too sweet. It tasted like a mouthful of pure sugar!
Food was very flavorful and they were very accommodating with dietary restrictions (taking out pork from the pasta) Chocolate cake was comforting and perfectly heated up. The star of the day though was the sourdough garlic bread!
In the city and decided to walk down the pier. We decided to book reservation in advance so we don't have to wait that long. Bring a jakcet if you're going at night. It gets chilly. Their outside seating is perfect, they have heater. It gets warm, it's perfect. Clam chowder is perfect for sharing, it's heavy and delicious. Bowl or in bread. Doesn't matter, its delicious. Food itself is great. Great serving size. Will come back again if in the area. Not sure where to park here, we took an uber instead to prevent breakins and parking fee.
Decent pricing for touristy area Pretty fresh food Both outdoor & indoor options available
