Victor AbriamApril 21, 2019My kids and I had the clam chowder, prawns and crab cocktails. All were delicious. Soups were nice and hot. Prawns and crab were fresh and tasted great. Service was excellent.
Joanna Siudak WeberJuly 30, 2011I don't know where the other people ate when they wrote their tips. I'm from NYC and I know good food and good service. This place was fantastic food and service.
Ryan BukhariMarch 12, 2017I expect a restaurant in this area to know how to deal with seafood. Not the case here. Under spiced, little seasoning, and they didn't clean the back of the shrimp!! Good service though.
Beth MayesApril 30, 2014Roasted garlic crab and crab avocado. Yum! Really love thus place, even though it's in a touristy location.
Carlos LazoJune 9, 2013You gotta try the spaghetti al Antonio with crab. And you better love garlic, cause they do bring it!
Joëlle EidMay 25, 2012The bass and the something Antonio pasta were amazing. Amazing! And I was doubting this place by of other tips left.
Rochalle RacineDecember 27, 2014Good clam chowder not amazing but good. Very disappointed their bread is serve cold. If it was warm the place would be taken up a notch. The service is excellent though.
Courtney AlundJanuary 25, 2014The baby crab cakes were delish! Open until 10 on Saturdays...wonderful service.
Jessica Torres-SotoSeptember 20, 2011Amazing New York Steak and Jumbo Shrimp. Also try the Bruchetta with Dungeness Crab. Yum!
Sarah SterlingAugust 26, 2018Fish and chips is good - clam chowder is good but doesn’t have a lot of clams
SBFebruary 25, 2012A determinedly homey restaurant in the middle of tourist central. The misto dish is lovely.
Sahar ASeptember 10, 2014The worst crab I've ever had! Dungeness crabs are a local specialty, but I couldn't even finish my food (& I was hungry). Basically a Fisherman's Wharf tourist trap. Better options in the city.
George MoskoffFebruary 10, 2011The mussells weren't that fresh. Bad day? Nice location in tourist area.
Alyssa IJune 30, 2011Avoid calamari and Francisco's Misto... watery, tasteless sauce and minimal seafood.
Luis Felipe RiveraJuly 23, 2016Dungeness crab es la especialidad de la casa, pruébenlo está buenísimo!!! (Dungeness crab is the house especiality, taste it, is delicious!!!)

Kirk Won - 8.6
"Yum! Try the lunch combo so you can try the caesar salad and the chowder. Make sure to get the bread bowl for a little bit more."
