Maritime Boat Club

Wow! What an amazing experience. Impeccable service with very nice ambience and exceptionally delicious food. The halibut was the best I have ever had, moist and flavorful. The Cod was just amazing, the oysters are served with interesting toppings , they are the best oysters I have had! The potatoes and leeks are a must have, so are the crudite and Crudos. The mussels and clams were so deliciously prepared, as for the beef it was to die for. Now the cherry on top was the dessert. The Japanese dessert served with juicy peaches was the best dessert that I have experienced and the chocolate cake is out of this world. You will experience the chef's talent and creativity in every dish, as each dish is unique in it's presentation, takes the ingredients into another level. You will get to enjoy dishes fit for a 3 Michelin star restaurant at the fraction of the price. Food, wine and drink prices are unbelievable. A must go restaurant in SF.

Forgot to take photos of all the food because we got too excited but the coonstripe shrimp with polenta and cote de boeuf were musts! Really appreciate the seasonality and thought behind all the ingredients and dishes. Great drink menu and recommendations by the knowledgeable and attentive staff. We’ll be back!!

A great recent addition, good for dates and visitors. The staff was clearly well trained and very conscientious. It was only about half full at 7 PM on a Friday, let’s hope they can continue a great work with busier seatings. No “SF mandate” scam charges!

This restaurant is an absolute hidden gem, tucked away behind Union Square. From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere set the tone for a truly memorable evening. The food was exceptional — every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, but the standout for me was the striped shrimp with polenta. Perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, it’s a dish I’m still thinking about. What really elevated the experience, though, was the staff. Friendly, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about what they do — their energy made the whole meal feel even more special. If you’re looking for a place that feels both intimate and exciting, with fantastic food and genuine hospitality, this spot is not to be missed.

We went to the restaurant out of convenience. What a nice surprise. Dinner, drinks and dessert. It was over all too soon. The staff felt like old friends. The dining area was warm and well appointed.

As guests at the Pali Hotel, we decided to try the Maritime Boat Club restaurant adjoining the Maritime Bar. The bar had a pleasant vibe and the restaurant behind was very calming to walk into. You can see the attention to detail with lighting and decor and also very comfortable seating immediately. Excellent service from the first water pour to the chef approaching our table asking our feedback on his dishes. Halibut w lemon bernaise, white asparagus and Caesar salad were topped off with a decadent chilled slice of chocolate cake with mild and refreshing macerated strawberry. The chef said his first love was pastry chef. Looking forward to stopping in on a future trip to SF.

We had delicious oysters, mussels escabeche, clams with peas and tuna tartar. All were incredible. The accompanying sauces were flavorful but not overpowering. We had halibut and fingerling potatoes. Again halibut was cooked just right. Potatoes were unique with octopus and a somewhat spicy red sauce. Very good. For dessert we tried the Japanese style crepe rolled up with black sesame seeds. It was light, not too sweet and delicious served with cream and slices of a tasty nectarine. If you like seafood excellently prepared with unique flavored sauces but not overwhelmed by them, eat here. There’s a great drink menu too.

Had the pleasure of dinning here recently with my group of friends. Service was warm,friendly and very attentive. Chef Felix's food was delicious and extremely well executed with excellent technique and perfectly rounded flavors. Our favorite dishes were the mussels escabeche, corn polenta with shrimp and the tamagoyaki dessert. Their wine list is very well curated with affordable prices and great bottles. Can't wait to see how the menu keeps evolving seasonaly, I will definitely be coming back for more.
