Fog Harbor Fish House

Even though it was pretty crowded, the food was absolutely impressive. The fish and shrimp were perfectly roasted—juicy and cooked to just the right texture—not too soft or too firm. Even the asparagus was packed with flavor! The clam chowder was amazing as well. They have beautiful window seats, but if you want to grab one on the weekend, you’ll need to act fast. I also noticed they had greetings written in many different languages, which was such a nice touch. I hope they add a Korean version someday too!

We made reservation for lunch and the moment we arrived, the experience at Fog Harbor Fish House was fantastic. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and we were thrilled to get a table overlooking the harbour. The food was the star of the show, though. The lobster tail was decadent and the fish and chips were a classic done right. The combination of delicious food and the gorgeous view made for a truly memorable lunch.

This is one of our favorite places to go on Pier 39. It is usually crazy crowded, you will have a wait, but you can hope to be seated somewhere with a gorgeous view, and most of the restaurant has breathtaking views of the Bay with glimpses of the Golden Gate and Alcatraz island. The food is great quality. The clam chowder is some of the best we’ve ever had. The servers are friendly and helpful, but at times seem a bit overwhelmed by the business of the restaurant- despite that they still provide excellent service!

I absolutely loved this restaurant! The food was amazing and the service was so attentive. I couldn't recommend this place more. I'm from Chicago and visiting here really was the best treat. Hands down, the best seafood I've had in a long time. So fresh! Additionally, our server was a cut above the rest. So attentive and kind. I'm supremely impressed by ALL of it. I highly recommend coming here if you've never been and are thinking of visiting San Francisco. They are located right on Pier 39. I know when I come back again, I will definitely frequent this facility. I give big thanks to Fog Harbor and it's amazing food and service!! Definitely visit if you have the chance!

Located at Pier 39, Fog Harbor Fish House is the perfect spot to enjoy fresh seafood with stunning views of the bay. I loved their creamy Clam Chowder served in sourdough bread, the fresh oysters, and the delicious seafood pastas, all made with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere is cozy, with spectacular views, and the service is excellent. I 100% recommend this restaurant, but be sure to make a reservation, as it fills up quickly. Perfect for seafood lovers and those looking for an unforgettable meal with a view of the sea.

Fog Harbor at Pier 39 is hands down one of my favorite seafood restaurants in San Francisco. Every visit is a treat, and I always leave looking forward to my next. The atmosphere is inviting, and the views from the restaurant are simply stunning—you get to enjoy the vibrant energy of Pier 39 with a perfect view of the harbor and the sea lions. The food is incredible, starting with their signature clam chowder served in a sourdough bowl. I always add crab meat, which takes it to a whole new level. It’s rich, flavorful, and easily one of the best chowders I’ve had in the city. The shellfish platters are also fantastic, always fresh and cooked to perfection. Whether it’s the crab, oysters, or shrimp, every bite feels like a true taste of San Francisco. Service here is great, although you should be prepared for long wait times, especially during peak hours. The line is a testament to how popular this spot is, but trust me, it’s worth the wait. The staff is friendly, attentive, and they help make the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Fog Harbor delivers on all fronts—delicious food, great service, and incredible views. It’s a must-visit for anyone craving fresh seafood and a classic San Francisco dining experience.

Update: our reservation was for Friday 12/6 at 6:30pm. Service was amazing and the ambience was very cozy . We arrived 15 min earlier than our reservation and they were able to accommodate us and sit us early. We ordered their Soup and Salad plate as an appetizer. It was delicious you can tell the bread is freshly baked. For our entrees I ordered the Scallop and Crab Risotto dish and my husband ordered Salmon. My dish was delicious and cooked to perfection. My husband dish was delicious but unfortunately the Salmon was raw in the center and he was not able to eat it. We might return if we are ever back in San Francisco but we will not be ordering Salmon as we don’t want to risk another raw encounter.

Fog Harbor Fish House was a decent dinner at the end of a long day. The calamari and blue cheese garlic bread appetizers were super tasty, although I’ve never seen fried jalapeños in calamari before! The garlic flavor in the bread could’ve been stronger - it couldn’t stand up to the cheese at all. That being said, I haven’t seen baked blue cheese garlic bread anywhere else and it was still very good. The clam chowder was delicious. I added the crab meat, which was just sprinkled on top and wasn’t worth the $7 additional charge. It made the soup too rich. The bread bowl was overwhelming but that’s going to boil down to personal preference. I’m glad I tried it but now I know I’m not a bread bowl person! Unfortunately, the lobster roll was very basic and underwhelming. No garnish or greenery of any kind to add a fresh element to the dish and the lobster meat was extremely under-seasoned. Don’t forget to double check your bill at the end of the night - an extra $4.50 was added on to my clam chowder, seemingly because the wrong up charge for the crab meat was calculated. Our wonderful server quickly fixed it for us! The meal overall was good but not great. The appetizers were a strong start but the mains weren’t up to the same standard.

This place has the best clam chowder ever! Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor--absolutely delicious. That said, the service was excellent--David was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a great experience, and I would definitely come back for the clam chowder! Would recommend, especially if you're a chowder fan!

The food was great and our server, Denis from Estonia, was great. We will definitely be coming back next year.

Great service and nice food! Our family was very enjoyed food and environment. Thanks

This place is worth the hype. And yes it's very busy with both tourists and locals. Make reservations ! One of the best clam chowder I have had. Well deserved accolades for it. They do have a gluten and bacon free option. Sourdough bread was delicious as well. Fresh baked and warm with a perfect crust. Our server was superb. Gave us some great recommendations not just food but for some unique experiences in SF. The scallop and crab risotto was excellent as well. Must go in my books.

We spent the weekend in San Francisco for our anniversary and really wanted some seafood! Denis was our server and was very positive, attentive, personable, professional, and funny! We ordered some oysters, clam chowder, fish n chips, and the seafood pasta. Everything was a 10/10. We really enjoyed the perfect batter on the fish n chips - not too thick and very crispy. The seafood pasta had a substantial amount of seafood on top - our fave was the scallops. While we were eating, Denis came to check in on us regularly and always refilled our drinks. This is such a go to restaurant to visit and I've had good memories here as a child! We came here after a hike with an incredible view of the GGB so this was a great end to our night

Had a delicious lunch here! We didn't make reservations although you can and it seems to be busy all throughout the day which makes sense as it's on the famous pier in San Francisco. We got seated in a back spot surrounded by lots of busy tables. There are beautiful window spots overlooking the water and the views are pretty. Clam chowder soup topped with crab was *chef kiss* but the bread bowl it was served in was not warm so it was yummy hot soup in a cold bread bowl. The warm sour dough bread served as a table side was amazing though. We also split the warm butter lobster roll and that was quite pleasant. It was a great lunch and I would eat here again despite my initial skepticism being in such a touristy area.

I was skeptical that this place looked better online and might be an overrated tourist spot, but it was great! The restaurant is bright with all the big windows and has a beautiful view of the bay (including Alcatraz). We were lucky to have beat the lunch rush and got a table right next to the window, but there probably isn't a bad spot inside the restaurant. The aesthetic is nice but still casual, which is good for a touristy day in the city. The clam chowder was delicious! It had a good, thicker consistency and they were generous with the lump crab on top. The sourdough was crispy on the outside but so soft on the inside! We also enjoyed the fried scallops; it was a pretty big serving for two, and reminded me of fried clams but less chewy. We loved the jalapeño aioli. Lastly, I wish I remembered his name, but we really liked our waiter too. He was available when we needed something and checked in on us, but not too frequently either. Can't wait to come back again sometime!

This place was excellent! It exceeded our expectations considering the touristy area. The lobster tails were delish and my wife enjoyed her pasta. Also don't skip the drinks, we really enjoyed our mai tai's. Dessert was also very decadent. We will be back and highly recommend this place! Family friendly!

First time at Fog Harbor, was excited to have my first crab of the season! Five stars for the staff, they're exceptional. So patient, kind, attentive. Especially Haleigh, at the bar. They went out of their way to help me place my crab/clam chowder order. I really appreciate the attention to detail. As for the crab, it was so dry and disappointing. I would not return for the food. The views/scenery are lovely, staff is accommodating, they even have gluten free clam chowder. I prefer the crab next door at Crab House.

Came here with a party of three. This place is on the second floor of Pier 39 and has an excellent view of the harbor if you're lucky enough to snag a window side table. We all ordered clam chowder (I got mine in a sourdough bread bowl), garlic fries, and calamari. For drinks, we got the strawberry lemonade and blackberry press. Garlic fries were pretty good. The clam chowder here is hearty and comes with an abundance of seafood. The broth is nice and thick, and the bread adds to the flavor. They hollow out the insides, so I wonder what they do with the residual sourdough filling. Do they just toss it out? That seems so wasteful! If they just cut off the top and left the inside connected, I wouldn't be opposed haha. Drinks are made with fresh fruit and were incredibly refreshing/cut through the heavy cream of the clam chowder.

When they say you can't go to Pier 39 without trying Fog Harbor Fish House, you listen! As a party of 1 I opted to sit at the bar. The service was fast, friendly, and very attentive! Its reputation precedes itself and it was a revolving door of customers. It appears more upscale but inside there's also casual vibes. I didn't have any cocktails this time but next time I'll have to splurge, because after sitting at the bar and seeing cocktail after cocktail being made, I definitely had some FOMO. I did have the strawberry lemonade and it was a perfect balance of sour and sweet and the strawberry puree was perfect. I wanted a lighter option so I went with the mixed grill. The salmon and shrimp were my favorite, there was also cod. The side of mashed potatoes and veggies were the perfectly complement. If there's a wait, I encourage you to wait and grab a drink at the bar until your table is ready. I'd 100000% come back again to try something else from the menu!

Made a reservation for 12:15pm on a Sunday and wasn't too busy. It got packed around 1pm so if you're walking in, go early! Food was delicious! The oysters were a good size and everything tasted fresh. Flavors were good but not overwhelming! The portions were also huge so we had a lot to take home. The view itself was amazing. I didn't realize they had a restaurant that had this amazing view. Service was great as well, they were very attentive. Although we didn't park in the area, I heard they validate your parking so that is a plus. I would love to come back!

Was looking for a place to grab a bite at on NYE while acting like a tourist at the pier, my grandmother was set on having a good burger & when searching Yelp this came up. Granted this is a seafood house & I love a good crab especially during this season we had so much crab & Lamb at home I decided to opt in on seafood but I will say everyone's plates looked amazing & I will be coming back to try more. I decided to get the Calamari & the Cesar salad - I loved the garlic aioli served with the calamari & I appreciated the fact it wasn't baby rings and real squid it's hard to find good calamari now a days - Cesar salad is always a safe bet to me considering I wasn't hungry yet it's a nice light snack. The burger was sooooo good my grandmother & I decided to split it in half we just shared our food I looooved the caramelized onions on it & it had a great char taste to it. My little sister had the chicken pesto pasta w: no chicken - it was great quality pesto BUT it was very veggie heavy on peppers and zucchini, she got no chicken on it as well I think she just wanted plain pesto pasta. My daughter is only 5 so of course she got chicken strips LOL. Service was great, we were sag quickly, our server Dan I believe was very polite & the young man who helped us when he went on a break I didn't get his name, the restaurant was clean we had a view of the bridge & over all it was a nice little lunch stop. Price break down $24 - Chicken Pesto Pasta $17 - Calamari $12 - Cesar salad $19 - Burger + Fries $12 - kids chicken strips meal $5.50 - 2x soft drinks $9/$10 - Beer $13 - Glass of wine $132.31 total + 5.5% included for service or server. I personally always tip 20-22% IN CASH because I'm a server as well & I understand sales + tip out. So including $30 tip total was $162. This is for 4 people for lunch + drinks which I think is extremely affordable & tasty considering it's a nicer environment/restaurant in a very busy area of SF. Looking forward to coming back!

It's been awhile since we dined at Fog harbor and I forget how expansive the restaurant is. I joined on Yelp waitlist and our party of 5 had a good 20 minute wait. Not bad for a busy holiday. We were seated on an elevated room with a view of the bay. I would have hoped a seat closer to the window, but I did not want to wait for another 20 minutes. The service could have been better but on a busy day, i can understand the lack of attention. Our food came is reasonable amount of time and all was good and fresh.

If you've ate here before then you know how delicious the food is, there's an amazing view, also your food comes out pretty darn fast. The service here is good too, I don't think I've ever had a bad experience.

Flying solo after a lunchtime Bay Cruise, I was hungry for some clam chowder and a nice cold beer. There were plenty of bar seats with a great view. The bartenders were very attentive. I was served right away. The Modelo was nice and cold and the chowder was tasty and had some nice celery chunks and very few clams which was a bit disappointing. The cup came with a lovely hard sourdough roll and butter. The views alone garner this place a star.

Enjoyed a fabulous meal to celebrate the new year w my sister n niece. HIGHLY recommend making reservations in advance. We had a 5:00PM reservation, arrived 15 minutes early. I was expecting to wait, but we got seated right away. . I asked if we could get a table close to the windows. My request was accommodated w a booth looking out as the sun set. The view of the bay, Alcatraz, and Golden Gate Bridge was spectacular. Loved that the restaurant was buzzing w the hustle of the employees and all tables occupied. We were greeted by our server Kiel. He gave us time to browse the menu and select our entrees...all while enjoying the view. My sister ordered the petrale sole...YUM n the presentation was perfect. It was a tower of deliciousness. My niece ordered the cioppino...her first experience. She loves seafood and thoroughly enjoyed her meal. IMHO, the broth could have used a bit more seasoning. I ordered the Shellfish platter served over butter noodles w minced garlic n herbs. While I'm allergic to shrimp, I asked if they could substitute it w seared scallops...request accommodated. This dish alone was worth dining here We were thoroughly stuffed. Everything was delicious and flavorful. Job well done!! Thank you Kiel H for being our server tonight. This place is a definite 10 in my book...oh wait, I can only give 5 s.

We didn't have reservations, so we sat at the bar. The bartenders were attentive and quick. The restaurant was clean and bright. The food was ok. There was nothing special about the clam chowder, it tasted like any other clam chowder. We also ordered the seafood penne and it didn't have any taste.

After visiting Alcatraz and the other sites in San Francisco, we decided to have an early dinner. We'd read this was one of the most popular eateries. We ordered Spinach and Crab Dip ($19), Baked Tomato Bruschetta ($14), Blue Cheese Garlic Bread ($10), Combo Oysters- Fanny Bay and Kumamoto ($25.50), Clam Chowder ($9), Seared Scallop and Crab Risotto ($39), and Whole Garlic Crab ($57). Our drinks: Amaretto Sour ($13), Lipstick Lemondrop ($16), Amaretto Disaronna ($13). They add on a 5% Emp Mandates to your bill. I wondered what the mandate fee was about and found that: "Emp Mandates" of 5% in CA restaurants is a surcharge that some establishments have been adding to customers' bills to help cover employee-related costs. This fee has been used to help cover city-mandated health coverage for employees. The restaurant was conveniently located in Pier 39 area along the wharf. Our server, Jimmy was helpful in making suggestions from the menu. My husband loves Dungeness crab, so he got the Whole Garlic Crab that he rated a 10 (best score). I love risotto and the Scallop and Crab Risotto was delicious (9.5). The dip and bruschetta were a solid 8. We love garlic bread, but never had blue cheese on garlic bread before...it was a winner. The blue cheese wasn't overpowering and the bread was perfectly toasted (9). The oysters were fresh and flavorful (9), just what you would expect being right on the coast. The Amaretto drinks were some of the best we've had in a long while (9) and the Lemondrop was also refreshing (8.5). Overall, we had a delicious meal at Fog Harbor and would easily recommend it. I tried to post pics, but the system had an error. Will try to attach later.

The hostess wasn't very friendly . Our waiter was also not engaging and although I explained it was my husband's birthday - he didn't say a word on that . Despite that overall he didn't check in on us and food was very good! Mai Tai was delicious !

Upstairs right on fisherman wharf. We ordered theater which was nice and fresh. The fish and chips which was nice the scallops with risotto (my favorite). Service was great and high quality as the waiter had a great sense of humor. Nice views on a clear day. If you are on the wharf it's worth a visit.

Initially skeptical of dining at pier 39 since its tourist trap central, but was pleasantly surprised with Fog Harbor. Food and cocktails were delicious and beautifully presented. Seafood was fresh and tasty. Beautiful view. Prices are maybe a smidge high but overall felt it was worth the value.

Walking through pier 39, we found this place. Thursday night, and a wait of 15 min for a table of 3. Restaurants get pretty busy even on week days. Food was great, asked for my meat to be medium well and indeed was medium well. Complements to the chef. We had a great dinner, and of course clam chowder bread bowl was amazing. We parked at the garage across the street, they charge 10$ an hour, and the restaurant validated one hour for us... Friendly staff, bathrooms were clean, and stocked. I was surprised when I got told that the servers don't accept cash tips. It has to be on a credit card.

Yes, it's touristy because it's located in Pier 39, but it markets heavily to the locals too. That said, neither tourists or locals should leave disappointed. The food is pretty good. As the name and location implies it is seafood heavy. Family style is the way to go so everyone can enjoy multiple dishes. We went during crab season and glad we did. Crab infused with garlic and butter was meaty and delicious. Order sourdough to sop up juices. With veggies and potatoes it is meant for one but we chose to share. Linguine with clams was fresh, light. Again, use that warm sourdough. Clam chowder was hot and thick with plenty of fresh clams. Love the fresh Caesar salad but you have to ask for anchovies . Clams with chorizo was a delicious side. Ask for more sourdough. Server was friendly casual and helpful with suggestions but knew when to leave us alone to enjoy the meal. Almost every table has a View of Ferris wheel, Fisherman's Wharf, Golden Gate Bridge and sea lions. We'll be back.

Yeah...........no. After a lot of googling, Fog Harbor was clearly the place to go. After landing at 730 p and checking in, found my way hailing a taxi to the pier. I arrived twenty minutes prior to closing. The hostess was awkward. I eventually went to the bar where a full menu was offered. The bar staff took forever to get to me despite the relatively vacant restaurant. Atmosphere was relatively casual but can be upscale for the right setting While friendly, the bar tenders could not provide any meaningful recommendations. I was also rushed, being told that the "kitchen was closing soon. " I asked what time and he didn't know. Wtf? Ended up with clams with chorizo, clam chowder, garlic butter roasted crab. The first two were amazing. The latter was a frank waste of money, tasting old. Dessert additionally fell flat on expectations. Overall just ok and over hyped. Would suggest trying alternatives.

Service was amazing and the ambience was very cozy . We arrived 15 min earlier than our reservation and they were able to accommodate us and sit us early. We ordered their Soup and Salad plate as an appetizer. It was delicious you can tell the bread is freshly baked. For our entrees I ordered the Scallop and Crab Risotto dish and my husband ordered Salmon. My dish was delicious and cooked to perfection. My husband dish was delicious but unfortunately the Salmon was raw in the center and he was not able to eat it. We might return if we are ever back in San Francisco but we will not be ordering Salmon as we don't want to risk another raw encounter.

Jim spoke to us first with amazing options! Then, Jorge wrapped up with tantalizing desserts. Food was delicious and filling!

I had some downtime for lunch and wanted to find a good seafood spot on the piers that wasn't crazy expensive or crazy touristy. After poring over a lot of menus, I decided on Fog Harbor as they had a special fish dish that looked amazing. When I arrived, they were totally full, but as a solo diner they said I could sit at any available bar spot. I asked where the best view of the Bay would be and they pointed me in the right direction. The staff was going in and out behind the bar but that didn't mean they weren't attentive. I had a great conversation with a few of the staff members, particularly a friendly guy from Chicago. We bonded over our mutual love of the city. I ordered a white wine based on the recommendation of my server, and didn't have to wait long for my meal to be served. I ordered this lovely fish dish featuring the fresh catch of the day over what was basically a very fresh succotash and thin sauce. I thought the fish was perfectly cooked and the veggies in the succotash really popped. I would have liked a bit of a thicker sauce and could have done without the fennel (I don't like the taste of anise), but I really enjoyed it. Because of it being a special and because it's SF, the meal was expensive, but I didn't mind given how delicious it was and how attentive the staff was. I wish they had the signature SF sour dough though!

Surprising quality in such a touristy area! This was borderline fine dining, but more snazzy than I was expecting actually. Great looking menu with so many great options. My hubby and I started with the calamari which was extremely well done and tasty. They also brought out rolls were absolutely delicious. Next we shared the clam chowder in a bread bowl and added crab. This was probably the best thing we ate the whole time. Great flavors, great crab, and add bread?! Amazing. We were so full upon leaving!! Our waiter was also superb. Such a great experience with killer views.

Food was very good. Jorge was very efficient and conscientious served. We ate so much. Tiramisu. Delicious. Biscoff cheesecake. Amazing. Chowder bowl. Shrimps. All delicious.

My boyfriend and I decided to pay Fog Harbor a visit for a quick lunch since we were craving oysters. We walked in on a Saturday evening around 4:30 PM to put our names on the waitlist and were told it would be a 10-15 minute wait. So in the meantime, we walked around Pier 39 to check out the shops close by. As soon as it hit 10 minutes, the host was able to seat us. - Oysters (4.5/5): Very, very fresh but I wish the oysters were a little bit bigger - Baked oysters (5/5): Delicious, not too salty. I loved the bacon on top! - Bread bowl clam chowder (4.5/5): Pretty good, creamy, and the sour dough bread bowl complimented the clam chowder well Our server, Yoki, was great. She came to check up on us very frequently and was so friendly from the minute we sat down to the moment we left. To our surprise, we were given a complimentary dessert for my boyfriend's birthday, which was absolutely delicious! The ambiance was also really nice. As soon as the sun set, a staff member came around and put candles on our tables which was so cute.

What a view overlooking the water. Decor and layout ensures most guests have an excellent view of the water. We went there twice during our visit. On the busier Saturday lunch time the wait just 15 minutes for party of 2. Excellent service. Fresh seafood. The chowder in sourdough bread is the star of the visit. It is a meal to have but if you want to try other dishes too, get the chowder in a bowel and already will have complete sourdough rolls to eat with the soup. The crab cakes appetizer are so rich and full of crab meat. The fried fish and fries included 2 very crispy cod fish fillets. The fried calamari nicely breaded. The red chilli spicy shrimp is very hot spicy so do not order if spicy is not your thing. This place is a must visit if you plan to have seafood at the fisherman Wharf.

Just got done visiting the sea lions? Just wanna watch the sunset? This is the place for you! Fog Harbor fish house while in the touristy area of San Francisco delivers up a good meal. I sat at the bar and was greeted by friendly staff. They provided some recommendations and I landed on the clam chowder in a bread bowl with a side Caesar salad. The clam chowder was delightful, but I recommend adding a bit of hot sauce to spice it up. You already know that I got dessert too! I chose the pumpkin spice bread pudding which would feed 2-3 people unless you have a sweet tooth. The bread pudding was the perfect amount of sweet.

While everything went well with this restaurant and could theoretically be 5 stars, I think I still have a preference for more exclusive experiences on that end (hence 4 instead). I believe my mom made the reservation earlier in the morning on the day we went, despite it being a popular spot among locals and tourists AND during Dreamforce. When we arrived, we waited for my sister to come from work (they don't seat you until the full party is present). After my sister came we didn't have to wait longer. The servers here must go through some crazy training because we never felt forgotten in the loud space. We started with the dinner rolls and shared one bowl of clam chowder (the best in SF, many sizes available including a bread bowl). I got the salmon entree. I think we also got an additional appetizer but I forgot which. We also got a bottle of white wine to pair with the seafood. It was lovely, per the server's wonderful suggestion. The food was also great, and definitely better than the other places at Pier 39 as other reviews have expressed. Happy to have closed out my SF trip with this dinner!

The restaurant is nice with panoramic windows overlooking the docks. We had Dungeness Crab and some appetizers, including oysters. Everything was good. The service was also prompt and attentive. The crab was of course delicious, the portion is pretty big with all the potatoes, vegetables and all, will definitely get you full. One thing I was thrown off by was the melted butter. It was pretty bad, absolutely tasteless, honestly I am 70% sure that it was not even butter. It felt more like tasteless vegetable oil, so not sure what it was but definitely took away from the whole experience and flavor of the crab because butter just completes it as we all know. Hence the star off. Honestly, was considering leaving 3 star review because of that but thought it might be too harsh. Please sort out your butter situation, especially considering the prices. I'd come back but with my own stick of butter and ask them to melt it for me :)

Service :10/10, wait till you go to the restroom and see a restroom attendant! Food: everything was wonderful 10/10 Steak plate: cooked to perfection, super buttery and soft, mash potatoes are my favorite. Cesar salad: nothing different from any other Cesar salads Ahi tuna: yum! Taste very and great to eat with the rice papers Crispy calamari: good seasoning, will it was a tad bit harder We all got 2 clam chowders which were also super tasty but be aware this restaurant doesn't do to gos for any soups. Beautiful ocean views from our seats

I stopped by Fog Harbor Fish House for lunch after a refreshing walk from Crissy Field to Pier 39, and it turned out to be an incredible experience! The ambiance is delightful, with breathtaking views of the bay that set the perfect backdrop for an enjoyable meal. The service was warm and attentive, making sure we felt taken care of throughout our visit. I kicked off my lunch with the Peach Blossom cocktail, which was absolutely refreshing and delicious - a perfect start! My dining companion enjoyed a Hog Harbor beer, which paired well with our seafood-centric lunch. For the main course, I had the seared scallop and crab risotto, and it was nothing short of excellent. The scallops were perfectly seared, and the risotto was rich and packed with flavor. We also shared the surf and turf dish with steak cooked to a perfect medium rare, paired with a tender lobster tail, mashed potatoes, and crisp green beans - each component was seasoned beautifully and tasted divine. To wrap up our meal, we shared the Biscoff cookie cheesecake, which was a decadent and satisfying finish with just the right amount of sweetness. Fog Harbor Fish House is a must-visit if you're at Pier 39. From the refreshing drinks to the delicious entrees and heavenly dessert, every bite was worth it. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great lunch with a view!

I came here for a work lunch with 12 team members. We made reservations ahead of time since we were a big group. Most pleasantly, we were seated next to a great view. We ordered plenty of food. The food came out altogether. Our server was knowledgeable. He provided recommendations and calmly answered our questions. I was able to take a few photos of what we ordered. Ravioli - was flavorful. Seared Scallop with Crab risotto - the scallops were seared perfectly and the broth has enough seasoning. Crab risotto did not dissappoint. Salmon Club salad - Salmon was not dried. It was juicy and paired well with the salad. Clam Chowder - 100% something made in-house. Cocktail - though had a lot of ice, but it was something new to try. Champagne A plus: they offer parking validation. I will come here again. :)

On a Wednesday night, we had a reservation that we were a bit late to, so we ended up having to wait an hour for a table. Food was pretty delicious (though the meat was a little TOO TENDER it was kinda offputting lol) - seafood was definitely the highlight. Also the SERVICE!! For a party of 9, there could definitely be a lot to juggle, but Yokky (?) was so so soooo sweet and was ON TOP of all the requests as well as all the other tables she was managing. Food (complimentary bread was warm and yummy): Appetizers: Calamari was bouncy and the tartar sauce really elevated this dish. and the Brussel sprouts! they were a fave amongst everyone. 3 Mixed Grills: affordable for the types of fish that we get. 1 Swordfish: Meaty fish. Has a bit more chew than others. Tasty! 1 Clam Chowder: soooo good! would recommend. 2 Risottos 1 Salmon 1 New York Strip 1 Surf and Turf Anniversary desserts were pizookies - pretty good! Couldn't finish bc on the sweeter side

We got there a little early- but they were able to get us in earlier than our reservation. As usual they were packed. We were seated by the bay and it was so exciting since we have moved away and haven't been back for 6 years! I got the clam chowder with crab and it was to die for. My husband got the lobster roll and he wasn't disappointed. Everything tasted wonderful and my kids enjoyed the view!

Love this place!! Great seafood and views, what more can you ask for? Honesty, everything in the pictures was pretty damn solid- 8/10 average. They get pretty busy but service was still good. Honestly, one of the reasons I want to return to the Pier in SF :)

Our family visited here last weekend for my mom's birthday celebrations--the fresh air outside, and atmosphere inside. Service friendly, they had us sit outside as we preferred. We ordered grilled octopus (5/5), which is also on the season menu. The octopus was tender and lightly chewy, and the sauce's mixed taste was so good. - The cocktails were ok, and we ordered Surf & Turf with medium rare (5/5). The meat was tender and juicy, and my mom said the sauce was pretty good. - NY Steak with medium rare was ok, too. - The Kumamoto oyster was so good (5/5) -Clam chowder added carb meat was so good too And.... We got a birthday celebration from the restaurant; how cute the staff is. The birthday cake was so good, combining the ice cream and the soft cookie on the bottom. It was look good, and it tasted good as well. We will be back to try other dishes, and recommend stopping here when you visit SF

Had relatives visiting who wanted to see the pier and get some seafood. This place is conveniently located at the entrance of Pier 39. It was a packed holiday weekend but they still managed to get us inside in under half a hour. The interior is casual upscale with really great panoramic views of the ocean and infamous landmarks such as Alcatraz and the sea lions. Perfect place for a date night. I wound up getting the Mixed Grill which had salmon, cod, and shrimp. With sautéed vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes for my sides. My relatives wound up having the Cioppino which is Crab, fish, shrimp, scallops, clams & mussels in a seafood tomato soup. They really enjoyed their meal and said it hit the spot on their seafood craving. I will for sure be back and recommend them to friends and family visiting.

Absolutely worth the trip. Fresh and delicious raw oysters with a house made champagne vinegar instead of cocktail sauce. The clam chowder with added crabmeat was rich and creamy. Service was slow but friendly. Beautiful views of the bay from almost all the tables.

Came here for an early Valentine's Day dinner. Food was delicious (I had their seared scallops with crab risotto), and Luis, our server, was great.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the bay. I always have an excellent time here and the food is always excellent. We got a half dozen oysters that were extremely fresh and delicious. We also got the blue cheese garlic bread which gets better and better with every visit. I got the NY steak cooked medium rare and it was cooked to perfection. Absolutely excellent experience. We ended the night with the blondie and it was fantastic. 10/10 Our server, George, was INCREDIBLE!!! He took such good care of us. He was so lovely and made sure we had everything we needed at all times. Wonderful attention to detail! Can't wait to sit in George's section again for our next visit!

More like 3.5 stars. First off, the pros - Waiter and staff were excellent. Other than the hostess, everyone was friendly and service was great. Love that they brought hot sourdough rolls with butter to the table - so hard to just eat one. The clam chowder was very good, and so was the calamari. We made reservations for mom's big bday. Whispered it to the waiter at the beginning of our meal and, at the end, he brought her a blondie sundae with a candle and sang to her. That blondie was served warm with a scoop of ice cream, and she was happy. Now, the not so great things . . . I ordered the panfried halibut special. The fish was dry and the dish had no flavor. Kiddo loves red meat and ordered the NY Steak. Although the steak was cooked perfectly, he didn't care for the peppercorn sauce as he noted it was on the sweet side. Hubs ordered the Surf and Turf. To me, the lobster was salty. Dipping it in the butter seemed to make it saltier. Mom ordered the linguine w/ clams. She said it was ok, but the clams were small. Dad and sister ordered the scallop and crab risotto. They both said it was ok. BIL ordered the lobster roll. He said it was ok. Nephews were happy with their kid burgers. We'd probably return for the rolls and clam chowder, for sure. Unfortunately, the entrees weren't the greatest.

Saul was amazing!! We had a wonderful time ! Steak was perfect !! Clam chowder was of the roof !!!

Jorge was an amazing server very attentive to my gluten sensitivity. I do wish they had cleared the empty dishes more. Food was eaten in ten minutes it was so good.
