    Good food, nice wine list, but you really need to see the views m. Sit outside on the balcony and enjoy! We had seals swim beneath us as we drank it all in.

    Lots of options. Sit at the large bar, in the bar lounge for TV & cozy seats or enjoy lively dinning area. Even a bit of outside searing. Appetizers are fantastic. Ribs, ribs, ribs.

    On a nice day sit at the bar on the patio and enjoy amazing views back to San Francisco and the odd seal sighting. Amazing cocktails and oysters.

    Make a reservation, especially in a beautiful day and request a seat by the bar on the terrace. This has a great view. Nice (lighter) take on clam chowder.

    Swordfish with orange, olives, butternut squash and nuts was *amazing*. The deck gives beautiful views across the bay, and is good for sea lion watching.

    Clam chowder was great as was the service. The really great thing though is the view across San Francisco Bay.
