Kris Vera-Phillips: Try the $1 Oysters - #kvpinmybelly : Tasty #oyster special at @Waterbar. Fresh, creamy shellfish. Also loved trifecta of flavor with horseradish, hot sauce and cocktail sauce. NOM!
Anna Dakhundaridze: Great view. Tasty menu. Good choice if wine. Attentive personnel. What else do you need for dinner with friends if you lover?! 😉 very romantic if you sit near the window and look at the Bay Bridge...
SFGate: Oysters with fennel mignonette are $1 each until 6 p.m. daily. Order a dozen and enjoy the view. Read more.

Jason Coleman: The best oysters on the west coast. Well worth the wait. Be sure to ask for cocktail sauce. They make it fresh.
Steve Hill: Get the oyster sampler, minuet is fabulous but slightly eclipsed by the cocktail sauce, and watch out for the horseradish - holy hell don't inhale - freshest oysters possible
Anissa: Sit outside for a lovely view of the bay bridge! Don't miss the local Hog Island oysters!

Trishia Pascobillo: Afternoon tea for two, with champagne was lovely. Had the 100 anniversary tea...loved the florals and warm scones :) The Pear finger sandwich was my favorite.
Soo Wai Eng: Very good Sunday brunch!
Bloomingdale's: There’s nothing more civilized than weekend afternoon tea. Especially if you consume the finger sandwiches and scones amid the splendiferous turn-of-the-century trappings.

Music Venue · Mission District · 15 tips and reviews
Margot Seeto: Old SF gem just tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Mission Street. Full bar, full food menu, live music, rotating art. Takes credit cards.
Annie Southworth: Happy hour M-F til 7. $3 drafts, $4 wells and $5 shots of Fernet, Jameson, Herradurra Silver!
David Kelso: One of the few remaining mission bars with seating and table service on Friday & Saturday nights.
Bettina Pancho: MUST: lobster bisque and the popovers with strawberry butter. GET IT AND YOU WONT REGRET IT
Therese Gratia: Delicious cheese plate app. Tasty Ahi Tuna app as well! And of course, the bread and butter are unusually good.
Tony Ocava: The traditional chicken broth and fantabulous popovers are worth making the trip. Make the lobster bisque a staple. Unfortunately, for me, the fun ended with the appetizers. Ive had better pricewise.
