“ The food overall is OK. The sourdough bread bowl New England style clam chowder was the best thing I had. The steak was nothing special. The best parts about this place were the service, and most of all, the view as it overlooks a part of the bay. This was an amazing hang out and a place to experience. ”
“ Look at the sweet, juicy, clean and beautiful Oysters. Definitely worth the price (22 for half dozen during February for me). I wish I didn’t order too many so I could grab another dozen of oysters. I’m in GA, can’t find anywhere like this in GA or FL. Very sad. I’ll be back one day. Clam chowder soup in sourdough was flavorful, creamy, unique, beautiful and delicious. Service was great. Friendly staff handled stuff really quick. It was packed but we didn’t have to wait too long. The view was beautiful and you must stop by to enjoy this restaurant. ”
“ The view from the cafe was absolutely beautiful — we could see the sea lions up close, which made the experience really special. The atmosphere was very pleasant, and the staff were friendly and attentive. However, the food was disappointing. The bread bowl soup was too spicy for my taste, and even the kids’ menu dishes were quite spicy, which was unexpected. Overall, I loved the setting and service, but the food didn’t meet my expectations ”
“ The food, vibes & atmosphere here was all amazing. This was my mom's first time in SF and she had the best time here. I recommend getting the clam chowder bowl separately and ordering the sourdough garlic bread separately because when the sourdough gets soggy, it will be pretty chewy and hard to eat. I got their half dozen oyster and it was so good! It was super fresh. I also got their fish & chips which was really amazing! Our server William was the best and I am sure you'll have a great time here too. Give this place a try when you're in the area! ”
“ Very good seafood place at Pier 39. They offer different dishes of well made seafood. We tried the salmon and the fish and chips. Everything was fresh and tasty. Service was excellent. The din in area was perfect. The portions were large enough which we appreciated. The soft drinks were good as well. Overall very good experience and recommended. ”
“ Pier Market Seafood Restaurant at Pier 39 offers a lively atmosphere and fresh seafood. We visited around 5:30 PM on a Wednesday and were seated quickly with no wait for our party of three. The crab cakes and oysters were delicious, service was prompt, and the marina view made it memorable. ”
“ We are from Australia and we were here 11 years ago and loved it so much we came back this year to celebrate our 35th Anniversary. We mentioned it to the concierge as he seated us. We loved the clam chowder in the bread bowl 11 years ago and so ordered it again. We had a view of the sea lions lying around on the dock out of the window where we were sitting. The food is always excellent and to our surprise. When we had finished our meal the waiter brought out a cake for us with happy anniversary on it. That is going above and beyond. We will be back ”
“ Everything was amazing here. We ate lunch here. From the hostess to the waiter to the food...it was all amazing. Better yet, about 7 min wait for our food to come out. Super fast service and it was delicious. The clam chowder was amazing. The beers on tap were delicious. All around great restaurant. ”
