Four of us looking for seafood somewhere in the Castro. This is the place. Prices are reasonable, friendliest waiter ever, great recommendations, a good time had by all. We snagged one of the two outdoor tables. So sad they had to give up their Parklet. After hearing all the options, all four of us ordered the Cioppino. As our waiter explained, it was invented in San Francisco. I looked it up: According to Avital Tours... Cioppino is a tomato-based seafood stew that was invented by the San Francisco Italian fishermen of North Beach in the late 1800s using whatever seafood was leftover from the day 's catch. The Cioppino did not disappoint. Too much broth for me, but not so for my companions....
If you want some really well done seafood, come here. Their special of the day was halibut with risotto and it was devine! We also got the scallops with linguine, which was sooo delicious. Those two dishes were a really great combo, and we split them amongst the two of us. The only recommendation I have for the scallop dish is that there were only 4 on the plate, and for the price point of $30, I felt like they could have included a couple more. Tuesday nights also include 50% off bottles of wine, so that was a great deal. The ambiance was also very nice, there is a fire place outside that we sat next to as the rain began to fall--so it kept us nice and warm. This is a great date night spot...
A very bustling eatery and bar! Indoor and outdoor seating! A really cute indoor seating with wooden booths! The crab was amazing and a huge salad! I ate most of it because it was so fantastic!!! The chowder was creamy and tasty! The chicken was a little overcooked, but still tasty! The drink menu was extensive as there was a full bar on one side! The servers were a plenty! And we were well cared for the entire time! Huge parking lot! One restroom.... Was very dirty and isn't family friendly because it's small! It's okay! Small price to pay!!!
I had small dinner and will definitely go back. Cod was delicious, I would like it little less rare but flaky. Unintentionally ordered meatballs, it was good. Update: Amazing experience. Artichoke was one of the best I have ever tried. Didn't touch the white sauce at all. It's butter/lemon sauce is so good. Mix fish grill had salmon, tuna, and mahi mahi. All very fresh. Very well cooked. Risotto under it was surprisingly flavorful too Brulee was too sweet for me, but I liked it.

Had a birthday meal here for the first time post Covid. It was a Friday night and there were ample tables. That was new. Lovely as always, the menu has I believe become more compact, but the special Alaskan halibut was spectacular and we all raved about the persimmon and fennel salad. Glad to see that still there! Still a good wine list. Still first rate service. Easily one of the best options for normally priced seafood fine dining I the city.
Walking by, celebrating my birthday with a friend. Sanjay happened to catch us looking at the menu, and he was pretty enticing. So we decided to come back. So glad we did. As soon as I sat at the bar, I said I 'm in pure bliss ... the smell of the open kitchen instantly sent me! I also ordered an espresso martini to power my night fresh espresso gave the natural taste I love. Also a great calamari and bday treat 50% off wine bottle Tuesdays!
Never disappointed here. Alberto and Julio are always glad to see us. As we are to see them. Thanks.
Everything was good average it could be better (freasher). The fried sea food plate was so greasy.
