"This castle of seafood in the Marina is decked out with tasteful nautical accents—which is fitting since you’re at Popi's Oysterette to feast on everything that comes from the ocean. Their happy hour includes things like steamed mussels ($9), deviled eggs with cured trout ($6 for two), and $8 glasses of rosé." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"The city has no shortage of buttoned-up seafood places and institutions that are older than your Victorian apartment. Popi’s Oysterette in the Marina is a happy medium between the two. The menu has seafood classics you’d find at an old-school joint, like loaded Louie salads and bacon-filled clam chowders, plus revamped takes—don’t miss the fantastic green cioppino, made with tomatillos and overflowing with squid, clams, mussels, and crab legs. Nautical accents and sea-blue tiles keep the oceanic theme going strong (but not in a fake-portholes-everywhere kind of way)." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"This Marina District restaurant is the place for outsized raw bar offerings, including oysters, mussels, clams, and caviar; Dungeness crab rolls; plus try the take on cold options like crab Louie salad and shrimp cocktail, or hot dishes such as the Manila clams and cioppino." - Flora Tsapovsky
"At this breezy seafood spot in the Marina, the chowder comes with a one-to-one ratio of clams and bacon, giving each spoonful a nice smoky flavor. The whole thing is finished off with a smattering of chives and fresh black pepper, and a bag of oyster crackers. We’d come here for a bowl of this alone, but rounding out the order with some oysters and green cioppino is always a good idea." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
"Popi’s Oysterette is a new(ish) happy hour offering, but it quickly gained neighborhood buzz. Try chicken wings laden in a fish sauce caramel ($10) or the steamed mussels ($9), and pair it with a $8 glass of wine or a $6 beer. Hours: Monday through Friday, 3 to 5 p.m." - Flora Tsapovsky
