"San Franciscans nearly lost this more-a-century-old institution during the pandemic, but now the Old Clam House is back and serving boatloads of fresh seafood on Bayshore Drive. The restaurant, which was founded in 1861, has now fallen into the same hands that own North Beach’s Mona Lisa restaurant and they’ve smartly left the classic alone, for the most part, keeping all of the familiar favorites on the menu. You’ll never go wrong with a bowl of clam chowder and a fishwich." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri
