On a chilly day like today, this dish was exactly what I was craving. The seafood was fresh and full of flavor. The warm, comforting broth was so good that I'm still thinking about it even now. From the moment we arrived until we left, every staff member was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. It was an excellent meal and a wonderful dining experience. I had a great time and would happily come back again.

We could have stopped with the appetizer. But no. We had the prawn scallop sauté. Again, a winner. While I question whether these were prawns rather than shrimp, they were still delicious. The scallops were great A shout out to our server Jane. She was attentive without being overbearing. While I am sure this isn't the cheapest seafood restaurant, the value received is a house run.

I ordered the baja tacos to-go. They come with two fried fish tacos and a side salad. Ok the side salad has a simple but delicious vinegrette! This order was also so big I could've shared with another person. You would think two tacos and a small side salad is enough for one person but the tacos were HUGE! The service was great and attentive but most importantly they have FRESH & QUALITY seafood! They have salads, pastas, seafood boils, sandwiches and a decent kids menu. A must try if you are in the Bernal Heights area!

I had steamed mussels with fries. There were not enough mussels because they were huge and the sauce was more a broth and not at all flavorful enough. I usually love sopping up every last drop of the juice. But the really disappointing aspect of our dinner was the service. There were 3 people behind the service station. All of them need a training course on how to pay attention to paying customers. Instead they were all engrossed in private conversation with each other or with one particular customer. And one of the staff was simply intimidating, and very very loud. I suspected his behavior may have been chemically induced. Our waitress was very sweet, cheerful and helpful when we could catch her attention. But as I said a 15 minute training exercise each evening before starting work would work wonders. Like look around each customer every time you are not doing anything. And the more senior staff member was just uninterested and perhaps a little grumpy. So the food was blah, more flavor in the broth would help, and ok but at today's prices a "dinner out" has to be about more than just the food.

Not sure if I got any chunks of clam in mine. 4/5 Cioppino. Looks great in pictures, but this was not really for me. Also, this version was extra herby.

She made sure food was timed correctly and we got to enjoy each dish. Now that's attention to detail. Visited here around 2:30 pm on a Sunday and had no trouble getting a table. Great atmosphere. Very intimate seating. Ordered the crab cakes and fries as an appetizer. The crab cakes were great paired with an arugula salad. Fries were so good, I ordered two. The chowder was creamy and delicious. I love potatoes and it had the perfect amount. Huge fan of the chowder. Salmon tacos with flour tortillas and purple cabbage, YUM! The salmon so tender and juicy, perfection. I enjoyed how guilt free they tasted. The star of the meal was the lobster roll. I could cry happy tears. I haven't tasted a lobster roll this good since traveling to Boston. It was a 20/10. The roll was buttery and soft. There was a generous amount of lobster, so tasty. I would seriously come back for the lobster roll. You will not regret visiting this establishment. Don't miss out.

A Must-Order at Betty Lou's…read more Ever since we discovered the Wok Crab at Betty Lou's, we've been hooked. This casual spot in Little Italy is known for its standout seafood, and the Wok Crab is the dish that keeps us coming back. The crab is sautéed with cilantro and scallions, along with plenty of garlic and ginger, all brought together in a savory soy-based sauce that coats every bite. It's the kind of dish where you'll definitely want extra bread on the table--perfect for soaking up every last bit of that incredible sauce. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the service is consistently friendly and attentive. A nice bonus: they allow you to bring your own bottle of wine for a $25 corkage fee, which makes the meal even more enjoyable.
