   The food is amazing and service is great the prices don’t disappoint in this economy either! Can’t beat a perfectly cooked ribeye for 40$!this is honestly a hidden gem. I always only see tourist in here. I’m local and come here for all my special occasions! If you haven’t been book your next birthday here! The views are also breathtaking especially around sunset. Also they validate parking across the street for two hours.

   One of the best views from the Embarcadero. Fantastic service, delicious roasted crab and steamed clams. Save room for the house made vanilla custard ice cream. I would highly recommend this place for the crab, view and service.

   This is a very over priced tourist spot. The view and aesthetic is pretty nice but it’s not worth it. The 17 dollar added crab to my already 17 dollar Louis salad was such a small portion. Maybe this would be good for cocktails but I wouldn’t do a meal.

   Crab sandwich and crab enchiladas were delicious. Perfect restaurant for the view, too. Also, we were able to have a conversation- not noisy.

   The food was good, no better than that. The “famous” garlic roasted Dungeness crab was not at all distinctive. The crab in the cocktail, however, was incredibly fresh and flavorful. Service was attentive. Ambiance is a bit shabby, and if you have a window table you may find that the wide sill in front of you is used as a sideboard for silverware, napkins, etc. final disappointment was that it was very cold in the restaurant— saving money on heat, I guess….

    Great experience as usual! The food is good, the views are great, and the ambience makes me want to keep coming.
