Great seafood and service
Brian StraussJuly 1, 2022
Jammed. Slow service and very pricey food that isn’t great. The cioppino here is skimpy and half the bowl is filed with pasta to cut costs. Feels like the pandemic hit this place hard.

Kaipara oysters from NZ are class!

Best damn cioppino in San Francisco.
Larissa AryJune 16, 2018
The place isn't visually appealing at all and you end up smelling of food. If it's a party of two, you have to sit on the counter. The food is ok.

But pasta, just forget it. Sauce tastes like garlic only.Time for critics instead of blind praising.They charge18% service w/o question.They don’t mind you, nor quality, they just wanna make dough.
