Hyde Street Seafood House & Raw Bar

I absolutely adore this spot! The Dungeness whole crab is incredibly tasty and fresh, along with the oysters from BC and fish from New Zealand, not to mention the complimentary bread. I'm thrilled to have discovered this seafood restaurant where we can savor such a wonderful meal! The service is fantastic and food is reasonably priced as well!

Second time there and both times excellent. Do yourself a favour and visit. If your local make sure you support such a great local restaurant.

Absolutely loved this place! Our crab and scallops were absolutely delicious. Our server Sophia was beyond welcoming and kind. She went above and beyond to make our experience so memorable. She even walked us to the door as we left in order to make sure she could open the door for us. We truly felt at home & appreciated as customers.

A wonderful dinner with fantastic service! Our waitress Sophia was so sweet!

An Old School, neighborhood seafood classic, nautically themed and spotlessly tidy. Coastal maps and wood paneled booth seating make for a unique dining experience, with family or out-of-towners. Prices noticeably reasonable for a high-quality meal. Choice of oysters on the half shell, freshly hauled from either Mexico or British Columbia. Nothing more than a squeeze of lemon needed. Shrimp Cocktail, perfectly blanched, served with namesake sauce and horseradish. Seafood Cioppino, generously portioned with shellfish, squid and white fish medley — served in a fragrant red sauce (similar to a Venetian busara with hints of cinnamon) over fettuccine. Only comment is the pasta could have been a bit more al dente. Located along the Hyde & Powell cable car line. Hop on Hop off while en route to Union Square or Fisherman’s Wharf. 5pm-7pm happy hour, where oysters come and beer flows at a bargain.

Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Overall: Standard fare. Not a bad place if you don’t want to grab a bite. Would I come back: I would if someone wanted to go there. The extended review… Food: Cesar Salad - 3/5 - Standard fare. The two person was a decent portion. King Salmon en Papillotte - 3/5 - Pretty standard fare. I’d probably say I could easily make this at home. Service: 4/5 - Friendly and attentive service. Ambiance: 3/5 - We dined outside which was nice. The interior seemed a little dark.

We came here for a snack as a family and absolutely loved it! The fresh oysters were wonderful. The sauteed clams appetizer and soft shell crab salad were very very tasty too. The banana bread pudding was glorious. Service was attentive and we loved the relaxed atmosphere. We will be back again!

Exceptional dining experience. I finally feel satiated eating amazing fresh oysters here. The crab cakes and local snapper cooked in a paper were exceptional. I’ll be back every time I visit San Francisco for sure. Very friendly hostess and beautiful space too. Yum.

What a score to have stumbled onto this place (thanks to Yelp). We had a very reasonable bottle of French wine and some AMAZING fresh fish baked with vegetables in parchment paper. The prices don't even look real on the menu, but they are and this place is outstanding. Our server did a great job and was super friendly, and the atmosphere was mellow but fun. It's hard to pick a spot to eat for a family of tourists up here, but this was one we would pick again and again.

Service phenomenal The happy hour is great Love the fettuccine I will definitely be cumin back.

Had such a lovely time. The prices are remarkable, the food amazing, and all service was given by the most lovely Angel! We will definitely come back next time we are in town!

We almost didn't come here because of the reviews but decided to give it a try. Everything thing was fantastic from service to the food. The scallops with ginger sauce was our favorite.

Delicious entrees, huge portions, lovely fun decor, quick, friendly attentive service. And watching cable cars!

D E L I C I O U S ! We discovered this neighborhood gem through Trip Advisor. Charming small restaurant; fresh seafood, attentive service and reasonably priced. We each enjoyed a glass of the house wines (Pinot Noir and Chardonnay) both were tasty and part of the happy hour that runs everyday from 5-7pm. They served a basket of fresh hot crusty sourdough bread served while we were waiting for our escargot appetizer, followed by clam chowder (rich but not too creamy). Our entrees included the fresh pan fried trout (which sold out that night!), snapper Vera Cruz and cioppino. The veggies were crunchy and fresh. Everything was delicious. Sophia, our server, was sweet and provided great service. She was the only person working and she managed the dining room so smoothly. Definitely will return.

I adore this place. Good ambience. Wonderful service and the food is so flavorful and cooked to perfection. Great lobster bisque, lobster appetizer, roasted vegetables and sea scallops. I highly recommend it.

Amazing location, excellent vibe, very good food. The server, Johnny, has been working here for 10 years. He is very attentive and professional. We enjoyed our dinner and plan to come again,

Absolutely fantastic experience. Our waiter, Sofia, was super kind and welcoming the entire time she helped us. She gave us some recommendations and made sure we had an amazing dinner. We order the half dozen of oysters and are some of the best that I have had in a really long time. As well as the ciopinno, absolutely delicious, will most definitely order this again. Restaurant had a very romantic energy to it which I loved. Can't recommend enough!

3.5 for us because one of my kids ended up with food poisoning after a few spoonfuls of the lobster bisque here. They only had one server this night and she reminded us every chance she got that she was the only server on hand. One adult plus 4 hungry boys from 7yo to 15 yo...we were pretty patient but our entire night ended up taking us almost 3 hours and that was literally with just ordering 3 soups and 5 entrees. Some tables literally had enough and longer to at the register for their check to prices payment to leave. Definitely need better quality control of the soup, when I finally sampled the soup as my son was upchucking in their bathroom, it had definitely gone bad. Not sure if we'll try again when we're back in town.

Great service very facilitating to customers parking tough. They found a parking spot for us. Very fast service great menu great prices. Food was fantastic. Highly recommended. Happy hour 5-7 $$

I been passing by this place for a long time, finally decided to give it a try. Any place in San Francisco, if Ciopinno is on the menu, I order it! It was just OK. everything was cooked fine, but the broth was not very seasoned or spicy at all. it was on a bed of pasta, which I know just depends on the place. But it was just OK, not great. I looked at some of the other people's food, and it all looks good, but when I asked one of them, they said the same thing, it's cooked well, but just OK. Service was wonderful though, and it is right on the cable car line, so location is great. the place is clean, the staff is attentive, ambiance is nice, but the food is just OK. so more like 3.5 stars I guess, because after all, the main thing should be the food, right ?

Food was really good. We enjoyed the oyster happy hour and all the other dishes we ordered, including the sauteed mussels and banana bread pudding which were all lovely. Service was nice too!

I am so glad we got a reservation at Hyde Street Seafood House and Raw Bar! I had no idea the food was going to be this good! We are so appreciative of the staff as we didn't know at the time of reservation that the cutest 6 month old was going to be joining us for dinner and the restaurant accommodated immediately and gave us room for the buggy and everything. We ordered probably 3 or 4 servings of the oysters because they were so good. The bathrooms are very clean as is the entire restaurant. I ordered the Seabass with Jalapeños and Tomatoes and I ate it all - every bit of it. Highly recommend this place when you're in San Francisco!

Sweet old school place - hasn't been redecorated in decades, and most menu items haven't either - lovely owner, nicely quiet experience, just don't go expecting cutting-edge or top-notch cuisine.

This was a great find courtesy of my neighbors who raved about the NYE dinner they had at this restaurant. This was my first TGIF dinner spot of 2022 and my friend and I ordered a bunch of things to share - the Dungeness crab cakes, a Roasted Crab, Lobster Ravioli, Chilean Sea Bass and Banana Bread Pudding. Everything was good and the lobster ravioli was the highlight of the meal for me. I highly recommend this and the crab cakes. Given the late start to the crab season, the crab was nice and meaty. The banana bread pudding was the perfect dessert especially the slightly burnt bits. It's a charming neighborhood place and service was really nice and attentive. With tax and tip, this was about $90 a person, which I think is a good value for the amount and quality of food we had. Definitely worth a try if you are in the area and craving some seafood.

What an incredible experience! Salmon en Papillotte with Sauvignon Blanc. Perfect pairing. Magnificent ambiance - cable cars gently jingling by outside. Lantern gently flickering. And salmon is steamin'! All with the most considerate service to complement the experience. Oyster happy hour is easily the best in the city. And the lobster tail appetizer with lyonnaise potato's was terrific. The food doesn't have the usual super salty flavor many restaurants have. This is legit stuff - French cuisine right on the cable car line. You have to be here to really appreciate it.

The food, service and ambiance were excellent. Oysters are a must have! Great dinner specials. Our hostess was wonderful. Go and check it out!

The food was delicious. The place was so nice and clean with a lot of cute details. The couple who served us were very friendly and hospitable! I am visiting but when I'm back in the city I'll stop in!

Visited on Valentines Day later in the evening (9pm). Service was not great, clearly understaffed for the amount of visitors. Food took nearly an hour to arrive and came out cold. We ordered the surf and turf as well as the sea food combo, the potatoes and veggies felt as if they were fresh out of the fridge and the filet mignon was so rare it was nearly raw. For $74 per person i expected more. Ambiance was nice, not too loud and the valentines decorations were cute. Seems like it would be a better experience on a less busy day.

Omg ppl hype and don't go there. Disappointed where did the cook have an idea of oyster with cheddar cheese. Service slow, there nice Ambiance older folks.

I have no idea why this place has so many stars. Literally the only good thing about it is the atmosphere of their sidewalk dining setup. The food was not good. And I hate to say that because I know the implications this review could have, but it's unfortunately true. When my 2 friends and I arrived, they tried to sit us at a 2-top with a 3rd added but that person would've been sticking out on the sidewalk, becoming an obstacle for passerby's. We had to basically beg them to get moved to a 4-top despite there being a few open. I ordered oysters, the snapper and the Cajun shrimp. Maybe not a good idea. The food was fine but it was so bland, no amount of salt could save it. The oysters were poorly shucked and dry. I had asked if they were briny or sweet and the server just agreed with me on every question that I asked. The fish, although it seemed promising at the thought of being wrapped in butcher paper and being baked with vegetables, was almost flavorless. The veggie bed it came on was mostly cabbage and another unidentifiable mix. I'd asked for a side of broccoli but it never came. I also had a Yelp coupon for a free soup that we then ordered. When I showed it to the server she laughed and gave a thumbs up, but when the check came, the overpriced $9 soup was right there at the top, it may as well have been in bold. This place was such a disappointment.

Our absolute favorite place in the city. Generous pours, authentic sailing vibes, kind service...an old school retreat on a beautiful street.

Stumbled upon this place late on a Sunday evening when it's hard to find good late-night dining in SF. Sophia, the server, was closing out another table but welcomed us warmly and seated us as if there was still a full night's service ahead. After a dozen fresh and beautifully opened and cleaned oysters, my husband had the snapper en papillote and I had the lobster bisque and a Caesar salad. The oysters, snapper, and bisque were terrific, although the bisque might have welcomed a bit of sieving. The Caesar wasn't as top-notch as it should be in SF--not with Zuni holding up such a high bar. I recommend the kitchen emulsify the dressing a little more and make sure the lettuce (it was crisp and fresh) at least be well-dried before the salad is tossed. Sophia was a gem. All in all, the evening felt like the kind of special, cozy, delicious meal you have only after walking for a while in a European neighborhood. Not perfection, and not Michelin-starred, but tasty and fresh and served with a smile. And then some.

Best restaurant choice of the trip! I would even recommend this one to local friends as somewhere to try. Super affordable for seafood that was amazing!! I had the White Sea bass that was on the special menu. Huge portion for only 28. Great service as well Just go....

4.5 STARS I've been trying to get together a group of friends for some time. Finally on Friday, March 9th, we made it happen. I made a reservation for dinner at Hyde Street Seafood House through OpenTable about a week prior for a party of five at 6pm. Happy Hour is 5pm-7pm, so luckily, we made it in time for $1.25 oysters! You do have to order them by the dozen at $15 a pop. The oysters come with mignonette and cocktail sauce. (Note: You can sit at a table and order their HH specials, so feel free to make a reservation if you want to guarantee yourself a table.) With our group, we were able to finish three dozen. That night, they were offering: Skookum (BC), Quilcene (Wa), Hammersley (Wa). I'm into smaller oysters since I find them sweeter and cleaner tasting, so my favs were the Hammersley. We ended up getting two dozen of all varieties and one dozen of just those. For HH, they also have $4 draft pint beers and $1 off certain glasses of wine. We just stuck to bottles of wine, so didn't take advantage of the drink specials. *Seafood Salad: mixed greens with fresh crab meat, bay shrimp & smoked salmon ($16) *New England Clam Chowder ($9) *Lobster Bisque ($10) *Escargot with garlic herb butter ($13) *Sauteed Mussels with fresh herb butter, onion & white wine ($14) *Shellfish Combination En Papillote: mussels, clams, scallops & prawns baked in parchment paper with fresh herbs, julienned vegetables, potatoes, white wine, butter & lemon ($25) *Garlic Roasted Prawns: served with rice or thyme roasted potatoes & vegetables ($23) *Pan Roasted Corvina Sea Bass: served with scaloppini potatoes, vegetables & kalamata olives, tomato, basil garlic sauce ($25) *Fettuccini Pasta: with rock shrimp, bay scallops, smoked salmon & chardonnay cream sauce ($25) We did our whole dinner family style, so shared everything. I always need some kind of vegetable, so the salad was a great palate cleanser of sorts. Since more than half our group wasn't eating meat, we kept everything seafood centric. I adored the pasta. The cream sauce was so comforting and there was a good amount of seafood. I'm a huge fan of garlic butter, so I enjoyed the escargots. Make sure to dip the complimentary bread in the extra butter. So good! The garlic prawns were also super tasty. Meaty with great flavor. I think my least fav dish was the en papillote, but I'm actually not a huge fan of this style of cooking. We just decided to order it since it was a signature dish of theirs. It's good to note, for those not eating meat, the clam chowder does not have any bacon in it. I made sure to ask before ordering. *Chocolate Cheesecake ($7.50) *Creme Brulee ($7.50) *Secret Coffee: topped with whipped cream and shaved chocolate ($6) *Presidential Tawny Porto: matured in wood for ten years ($10.50) *Taylor Fladgate Tawny Porto: matured in wood for twenty years ($12) *Prosecco Extra Dry La Marca DOC, Italy N/V ($39) *Cabernet Sauvignon Kunde Estate Grown, Sonoma Valley, 2013 ($43) *Petite Sirah Michael-David, Lodi, 2015 ($50) To end our meal, we decided to get two desserts. I just had a bite or so of each as the port was basically my dessert. I did enjoy the 20 over the 10 year. I believe the secret coffee had some alcohol in it, but I had a fair amount to drink by the end of dinner, so not 100% sure. For wine, we actually stuck to three bottles. Started with the bubbly for the oysters, the cab for the apps, and the petite sirah for the entrees. They all paired nicely since we're all red wine drinkers. And all bottles were reasonably priced. Service was amazing! Our waiter was awesome. We were actually here for over four hours and never felt rushed. Even though we closed out the restaurant. A great, very affordable neighborhood restaurant. With all the food and drinks plus tax and tip, we each paid under $100. That's a win in my book!

We made a reservation for Saturday night for outside. It's a gorgeous evening of 85 degrees. We get there and they tell us there are no more outdoor tables and we can sit inside. Are you fucking kidding me? We waited 30 minutes for someone to leave. Others after us were not so lucky. One couple with a dog had to leave because they could not sit inside. You are using software that does the job for you if you do it right, and in COVID times people expect the table they booked. The single waitress was hustling and did a good job serving 10 or do tables. Didn't see how babe people worked in the back. The evening was gorgeous and warm, the bottle of wine and oysters kicking things off for us. They gave a dozen for $18 as happy hour special. We also f he ad the crab cakes, two fish specials. The food was simple, nothing extraordinary but fresh and well prepared.

Ordered through Grubhub and the food was pretty good. The pan seared scallops were small, and the cream sauce was oily. The vegetables and rice that came with it were cooked well and were seasoned correctly. The pork chops I also ordered were well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Dijon mustard sauce wasn't overly powerful either. Just wish the scallops were bigger for the buck.

What a quaint little restaurant! As out-of-town visitors, we looked for something off the beaten path of tourists and vacationers. This restaurant was a respite from all the noise and bustle of Union Square and North Beach restaurants. Although it was not significantly special, it was clean, well presented, and comfortable. Dinner music was soft with Old Blue Eyes crooning in the background. Overall, the food was quite good; simple, not overstated, letting the food speak for itself. Soft spoken Maitre d' Sophia was welcoming, sweet, and pleasurable. It was our pleasure meeting her.

Happy hour oysters (until 7pm!) for only $18/dz! We weren't very hungry for dinner but couldn't resist to stop in for happy hour oysters and wine. After we finished the oysters, we didn't want to leave just yet so we each ended up ordering soup: clam chowder and lobster bisque. Both soups were really good but I especially thought the clam chowder was excellent. Our server was super kind and sweet and very attentive.

Although we were one of two tables when we sat down for a mid-week dinner (an inauspicious start!), this pleasantly earnest seafood dinner was quite good and definitely reasonably priced. The $15/12 oysters (a daily 5p-7p happy hour deal) were fresh and appropriately accompanied. They did not provide spoons for the vinegar which was too bad, so I just poured it out and made a mess - but it worked! To start, the calamari was decent, if slightly under seasoned. It came with a nice side of greens which were appreciated because it almost made for a starter salad. Similarly, the French onion soup was good, but slightly let down by under done onions. For the entrees, the sea-bass on parchment was well done and a generous portion. I loved the amount of vegetables that came with this dish. That being said, the second ingredient on the menu was jalapeño and I couldn't taste any of it. While I'm glad it wasn't overly spicy, it was a bit of a let down. The mixed seafood en papillote was also decent, but suffered somewhat from a lack of cohesive sauce or seasoning. For dessert, the creme brûlée was one item we would not order again. It had a definite fish taste, perhaps having been prepared in too close proximity to a steamed entree? The chocolate torte was decadent and well done. Overall, the meal was nice and the service was responsive. We would eat here again, and it definitely falls on the cheaper side of the fresh seafood dining scene in the city.

Raw oysters were great, service & staff were great. Other food was average. If you're looking for raw oysters you'll be happy

Such a quaint little place that is clearly being operated by a single family. The prawns béarnaise was extremely tasty. Service was slow, but she was only one person so we did not expect much.

Reserved a table on Valentine's Day. Clearly they don't know what they're doing with table management and reservations. They booked us for an appt and told us we had to wait for the waitlist. They're pretty much seating walk ins and reservations the same and when you ask the people who worked there they don't even reply with answer that correlates to your question. For example, I asked the lady. What's the status of our 8PM reservation. And she answers "yes ok". I ask someone else then I get redirected to another person. The owner was pretty much dodging people waiting. Seating people with no direction to try and get all the clients instead of respecting people's reservation and making sure that tables are available at the time for their appointment. Don't offer a reservation option if you don't plan on upholding the time reserved. Looked like it coulda been good but execution and customer service sucked.

We were looking for a seafood restaurant in the city and decided to give Hyde street seafood restaurant a try. Super friendly staff that went over the menu and gave us suggestions on their best selling items. We ordered a combination clams and mussels and Cajun shrimp and scallops as a appetizer. French onion soup and lobster bisque as the main course and finished off with bread pudding. Amazing food, and casual comfortable atmosphere

Im actually so lucky to even still be alive after the food poisoning I received from this restaurant. If there was a 0 star option, I would absolutely give that. I ordered oysters and was so excited to receive them. Ive been eating oysters literally for 11 years and never have gotten poisoned by them. I woke up around 1am with extreme stomach pains followed by projectile vomiting for no less than 3 hours. I was unable to leave the bathroom floor as I felt like my insides were coming out. All for me to realize later that it was the OYSTERS from this place that had caused my demise. I know there are plenty of food poisoning cases on the West Coast but I was giving it a chance at this place. Never again. I have been sick my entire time here(3 days) and have them to thank for it. Its a shame.

If you're looking for delicious seafood in a wonderful SF location, look no further than Hyde Street Seafood. We've been going here for years and are never disappointed. They have a great menu of appetizers and entrees and a nice wine list too--and the prices are very reasonable. We especially love the sole meuniere and the en papillote dishes. The service is lovely.

Surprised my partner for Valentine's Day. Arrived at 8pm for our reservation. Didn't get our appetizer (Caesar salad & 1/2 dozen oysters) until 8:30pm. Everyone else is complaining, asking for their food. It is now 9:20pm and we have not received our main course. Some people have left. Took a peek in the kitchen, there are 3 people in the kitchen and cannot manage. This whole pre fix meal is $64/person. Never coming back here.

Our first meal in San Francisco was beyond delicious. Everything was so flavorful and the restaurant feels like it hasn't changed in years, in the best possible way. Awesome service.

What a great neighborhood find! If you just spent the last half an hour trying to find parking around the area, you can feel more relaxed now: nautical touches throughout the resto, friendly staff and a daily happy hour special from 5 - 7pm for $1 oysters. That's right. Daily. As in, E V E R Y D A Y! Ogni giorno, quotidien, taglich! We were set for the next hour enjoying 3 dozen oysters, lobster bisque and warm French bread. Their wines by the glass aren't overpriced (get the Sauvignon Blanc and Sparkling Rose) and beers like Anchor Steam, Sierra Nevada, Guiness are available. Oysters are one of my favorites and the ones served here are super fresh. I especially love the kumamotos for their sweetness. But I'm sure, whatever you get here will satisfy your craving (and perhaps act as a aphrodisiac as well after dinner?) Slurp's Up! ;-)

I'm drawn here for a few great reasons. And it's only these reasons why I tend to go back and repeat, regardless of how far and how long it takes me to park. Their happy hour oysters are no joke. Quality oysters at such a reasonable price would make anyone order more than just a dozen...and come back for more. My favorites are the refreshingly sweet Kumamotos and the perfectly briny and smooth Evening Cove Bay Oysters. Along with slurping these shelled gems, their Lobster Bisque is a definite must have. With bits of lobster and an insanely amazing soup flavor, this Lobster Bisque tops all seafood bisques in my book. Next time, I'll try not to lick the bowl dry in record time. I'll also challenge myself to order something different on the menu. Life is difficult sometimes.

Finally came back after many years of disappearance and how I missed the food and the people! Took my good friend out for dinner in honor of her birthday and it was a good choice for me to do so! We got there really early that the table that I requested was taken. We opted to seat at the bar to start happy hour. Saw Brian, Johnny, and Sofia (we go way back in the days...) and it was so welcoming that I felt guilty for being MIA. I opted to get the soju Cosmo and friend got a glass of white. We also had their famous lobster bisque (still taste the same as ever ~ awesome) and their escargot. She and I shared the bisque with bread so that helped fill us up and allowed us to enjoy more alcohol consumption later on the night... and the escargot, tasty as always as well. Made the friend try one...she was hesitant but still didn't like it but at least she tried one. We didn't get their famous oysters b/c neither one of us likes them... When we finally sat at our table by the window (I requested for it to add to the special occasion!) friend and I were ready to order our entrees. I told her that their specialty is their "en papillote" and so she got the King Salmon and I of course, got their shellfish combo. We also got an order of Kir Royale (we were going to get a bottle but I wouldn't be able to drive thereafter!). Friend loved her dish since salmon is her fave and me, I was finally able to consume the rest of the my food (first time ever!). Dessert: she and I split the creme brulee and the chocolate cheesecake. Both desserts were awesome! Service: exceptional! Made my friend feel uber special for her special day and thank you for that! Will definitely come back... sooner than a couple of years later!

Old school seafood restaurant that has a distinctly mom-and-pop feel to it which is pretty enduring. Go elsewhere if you're expecting something fancy. Think choice of fish en papillote. Simple, homey, but keeps the fish nice and moist. The classic San Franciscan cioppino is on the menu of course. But the 5-7pm happy hour special is pretty great. A dozen oysters for $15. They were plump and fresh. It's so nice to enjoy a platter of oysters with an ice cold chalice of Stella. Compared to other more contemporary spots, it feel dated but there's an honesty to Hyde Street Seafood House And Raw Bar that is really nice. That and a the happy hour special.

San Francisco has me feelin some kinda way and I always seem to crave oysters when I'm in town. It could be the smell of the ocean in the air? IDK. I yelped Oyster bar and Hyde Street Seafood House and Raw Bar felt like a good choice. The main draw for me was the Happy Hour Oysters priced at $15 for a dozen (5-7pm)! Anyone in the city who loves oysters knows that's a damn good deal!! The hubs and I were staying at the Hilton in Union Square and decided to walk to dinner since it was a mile away. Not too sure that was a great idea. A mile anywhere else would have been easy peasy, but a mile in SF could be taking you up several inclines that will leave you breathless and a little sweaty. Down hill was by no means any easier. By the time we reached the restaurant we built up an appetite for dinner. This excursion was just supposed o be about appetizers and small plates, but what the hell... we made it there! We might as well enjoy ourselves. We of course took Lyft to get back. What we ordered: 1. 2 Dozen Oysters: It was $15 and the when the waiter asked us if we wanted another dozen we were weak to his suggestion. Plus it was like 5 minutes to 7pm and we've already had some wine and between the ambiance of the space and the delicious first dozen it was hard to say no. 2. Escargot: I don't think there is a restaurant in Sacramento (our home base) that offers escargot, and when we saw it on the menu we had to have it. Not often do we get that option at a restaurant. Plus, the hubs and I have had it before liked it and wanted to try it again. Pretty tasty! Texture was chewy and it was covered in butter and garlic. 3. Cioppino: SF is always cold and what better way to warm up then to have some cioppino. I loved how they didn't skimp out on the good seafood. Large chunks of fish, several pieces of prawns, large scallop, and mussels made it heavy on the protein side. The warm tomato based sauce was flavorful and the noodles were a nice touch! Great cozy/intimate place for a quiet dinner with someone special. I think they have a large table for maybe one large party, but other than that, that's all you get. Tables are close together that you can hear another person's conversation, but you should mind your own business and focus on who you're with and it's not a problem. I had a great time! We'd definitely be back. If anything, at least for the happy hour oysters!

Lovely, quiet place with great oysters and service. Recommend it highly. Very nice service.

Don't go here. The only good thing about this spot was the (off the menu, not at all promoted) special of a dozen oysters for about $1 each. Service was some of the worst I've ever had. No joke. [For reference most of my review ratings are 4 stars and above, 2 stars are rare]

This is a wonderful neighborhood spot that's been here for years and years. Very unpretentious and unassuming. Good food, friendly and easy going staff. Love coming back to this little gem.

We came for oysters during happy hour on a Friday, and although the scene was dead quiet, the food was awesome. The nicest and cutest Asian couple runs the place, and took really good care of us. We each ordered a dozen oysters, which was 15 bucks each. Although You can find dollar oysters in the city, these we much more sizable than other places in the city. The drinks were also on point, and the place is in a pretty sweet location right along the trolley tracks in Nob Hill. Great place for a date or romantic night
