"Skip the bar seats and grab any other table for sweeping bay views at this Fisherman's Wharf restaurant. Perched on the second floor, you'll get unobstructed views of Pier 39 and the boats trailing in and out from the docks. And if you're lucky with a clear day, you'll be able to spot Alcatraz. Despite any tourist-spot skepticism, the food here is solid—order the ciopinno or swordfish for your entree." - patrick wong, julia chen 1, lani conway
