Anchor Oyster Bar, San Francisco, California Restaurant Details

Food:

It's hard to believe that this little hole in the wall can remain consistently great and survive the deluge of restaurants that come and go throughout the city.

It is well worth the wait if there is a ine! The seafood is the freshest in town. Besides eating it in the restaurant you can buy fish and take it home to prepare yourself.

But you won't get all of the great choices and side that you would if you eat at the restaurant.

Food:

The restaurant was all that it was cracked up to be. Nice service, food and crowd. I felt the tables were a bit too close with the diner who was seated next to our table-her chair was rubbing up against our table. Not good for either of us.

Food:

Food is great there if you like seafood as they don't have much else. Not a lot of choices but they are all pretty good. The service is good. Reasonable prices given the fresh seafood. The biggest downside is there is usually a long wait for a favor say dinner times weekday or weekend.

Food:

Excellent seafood restaurant in SF. Might be my new favorite. Be prepared to wait tho, there's a list outside you can put your name on. A wine bar is across the street if you don't want to wait outside.

I highly recommend getting the cioppino (best I have had), the white pasta dish (not on the menu, ask for it) and crab if they have it. Their seafood is very fresh. Will definitely come back.

Food:

If you haven't tried this historic landmark, you must add it to your list of places to dine. Everything from the staff to the food was simply outstanding. Our server, Roberto, was professional and charming. The view from our booth was amazing as well. I highly recommend Anchor Oyster Bar to anyone---this place is genuine & unique--- not cookie cutter like a lot of chain restaurants around town. Great job Anchor Oyster Bar!

Food:

This "cute" long-running oyster bar with a "nautical motif" is a "pearl in the dingy Castro" for Boston clam chowder and "simple" seafood "so fresh you'll swear it was made by the Little Mermaid"; "seating is tight" in the "tiny" space, but the "super-friendly" staff and "limited" list of local white wines ensure the "hungry hordes" leave "happy as clams."
