"Angler is a special occasion spot that’s easygoing and fun. There’s nowhere else in SF where you can dine face-to-face with a taxidermied bear or brush up against a basket of pelts on the way to the bathroom. Most dishes at this Embarcadero spot have a whimsical flourish to them. Gold-plated cutlery is swapped in between every course. A head of radicchio covered in X.O. sauce arrives with a pristine dentist-style white cloth bib. A tableside pour of caramel accompanies the soft serve sundae dotted with cocoa nibs. And while Angler works well as a fun dinner spot, we like coming for a power lunch and ordering the $45 three-course Quick Catch prix fixe, which has many of the same dishes as the regular menu." - team infatuation
"If you like your soft serve dressed up like it’s going to a dinner party at Mary Crawley’s estate, hit up this seafood restaurant on the Embarcadero. Their incredibly smooth soft serve sundae comes together with things like peppered caramel, smoked salt, and cocoa nibs, and is an excellent follow-up to a meal that will probably also include antelope tartar and oysters.

"Angler on the Embarcadero is an upscale seafood affair. But during happy hour you can eat without feeling like Mr. Monopoly Man after he declares bankruptcy. There’s wine by the glass ($10-$12), cocktails for $12, and small bites like oysters with seaweed vinegar and embered tomato ($4 each), and Parker house rolls with cultured seaweed butter ($12).

"Fine dining restaurant Saison billed Angler as a casual spinoff restaurant, but there’s nothing casual about this place. The Embarcadero spot feels perfectly suited for trading stock tips with a friend or sitting next to tables full of puffer vest-ed folks who agree that Dreamforce is the highlight of fall. The dining room is a cross between a fancy seafood house and a hunting lodge thanks to decorative wall fish, a taxidermy bear, and a big open kitchen with a wood-burning hearth. The menu is both seafood and meat-focused, so expect to dine on wild swordfish steaks, meaty antelope tartare topped with herbs, and a whole head of radicchio doused in an intense XO sauce.

"The woodfire smoke-tinged seafood sister spot from the Saison team is still a star. (1 star)" - Eater Staff
