    Came here with my friend after the Golden Gate 5K for a breakfast of champions. We luckily got seated very quickly, as we completed our race before the half marathoners. Service was great! We got our food quickly and it was delicious. I got an ice vanilla matcha latte and sausage and eggs. LOVED the potatoes! Would definitely recommend this place.

    French Toast, Bagel Fix-Up
    Mansi A.

    Had a ball at this brunch spot! I had this place was bookmarked for the longesttt time and finally got around to trying it out. My friend and I got the French toast with berries and a bagel fix-up (strawberry + blueberry on one side and eggs on the other). I was obsessed with how the eggs were made! It was so simple and comforting. If it was closer, I'd definitely stop by often to grab a bagel with just that spread! But am glad they allow you to try two flavors/spreads! The French toast was good as well, loved it with the berries. Would definitely recommend this place!!

    Very cool menu with incredible hospitality from every single staff member. I was blown away by the kindness of each member of their team. French Toast was fluffy and phenomenal. Bacon was a thick perfectly cooked cut. Latte wasn't too sweet either a cool design. Highly recommend if you're in the area. Truly good service, actual real hospitality, is hard to come these days, so give them a shot and support local people doing amazing things.

    Avocado toast

    Excellent little breakfast spot! The service was fast, the food was delicious, and the portions were generous. The banana Nutella crepe was outstanding, and the avocado toast was just as good. If you're looking for a great breakfast with friendly service and satisfying portions, this is definitely worth a visit.

    Avocado toast 3 ways

    The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful but the food was incredibly mid, especially at the price point. I was really hopeful for more. The avocado on the toast was very bland - could use more salt, lemon, anything to add more flavor.

    11am, Thursday, March 20, 2025: Arrived at the end of breakfast rush. Super friendly service. $34 with tip for the Avocado Toast trio. Individual toppings were bacon, egg, & balsamic drizzled over some kind of square white cheese. Mozzarella? Wow, that's a lot of food, including a side fruit cup. A real diner experience for the tourists & locals, nothing like nearby Fisherman's Wharf. That's a good thing. I have a feeling I ordered the wrong meal, a diner is best for classic bacon & eggs. Let's get my pet peeve out of the way. The seeded pre-sliced sandwich bread was not toasted, not even I bit. Call it open faced sandwich, but not a toast. So there I was getting crabby as I ripped apart the soggy bread with a butter knife. The avocado was a runny spread. The bacon was delicious. I asked for over medium egg & it arrived easy, sunny side up. I didn't have an appetite left for the balsamic. Besides, it came on a large slice of beefsteak tomato. Hate that tasteless refrigerated filler item. The fruit cup was classic, you know, probably canned pineapple (which was tasty), 5 blueberries, one raspberry,perfectly ripe banana, ok strawberry slices, & cubes of rock hard cantaloupe & honeydew melon. Why? Just why? Kinda dark in here & on a typical chilly day the metal, backless stools were really cold & uncomfortable. Four sidewalk tables for the hearty. I'm giving this meal a 3 star, which should not be a deterrent if you're in the hood. Just know ahead of time what to expect. Others might love the generous portions & not care if they can' t eat the "toast" with their hands. I'm not sure if Eight AM is locally owned, but it deserves support from the neighborhood.

    Came here randomly on a Sunday got welcomed and seated right away! Staff were super friendly, prices were a bit pricy but great portions, and the food was so good along with their black coffee! Everything was wonderful. We got an omelette and berry waffle but would definitely try the banana French toast next time (seemed to be a popular dish and looked yummy!)

    If you're looking for great service, good food and conveniently located to the wharf, Eight Am is the place. We arrived at 8:30am on a Sunday and were seated right away, but within 15 minutes there was a long wait outside. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but we were comfortable and there is option for patio seating, we opted for indoors. The average cost per plate starts at around 25.00, the portions are good and the food is fresh. Gratuity is included in the bill here and after we had a few plates, a few juices, our bill was just under 100.00 for two. Service is quick, our waiter was friendly and attentive. We highly recommend a stop for breakfast here and we will definitely return when visiting San Francisco. Enjoy!

    Cute little restaurant on our walk towards the Piers. We sat outside and were greeted by friendly wait staff. I had their open-faced bagel and opted for a sweet and a savory option. One half of the bagel had avocado, deli ham and an over easy egg. The other half with cream cheese, strawberries and honey, served with a large side of ripe fruit. My friend had an egg dish which she loved. The food was served hot and quickly with big portion sizes

    5star! Blown away! Jeffery was immaculate at seating us, serving us, and getting us exactly what we wanted. Ordered the 8am & NoValley frittata. Amazing. Fresh squeezed OJ and Lattee was amazing. 5 star! Come here now.

    What a fabulous place. We were in SFO for 3 nights and went for BF to this joint each morning. The staff is very very polite, the place is crowded and immensely popular so be prepared to wait. Trust me the food is totally worth the wait. I will be coming back to this one on my next visit. Loved it!

    Frittata with fruit and potatoes. Added hot sauce
    Amanda H.

    Tried this place for the first time today. The street construction outside is a little bummer but hopefully it's short lived. The patio out front is lovely. The food is tasty. The service was quick and friendly. My frittata was just a little bland but some hot sauce and salt/pepper fixed it right up. Love that the fruit is good fruit and not just melons

    What's the parking situation?

    There are stree parking around the area, if your hotel is near by, might be easier to walk vs drive.

    Are they pretty quick in bringing the food out?

    Yes. Food comes within minutes of ordering. The only crazy wait is to be seated ( no reservations, you have to put your name down once you arrive, and wait for a table. Could be from 5 to 30 min)

    Dogs allowed on outdoor dining?

    Yes

    Do they take Apple Pay?

    They take apple and google pay

    Gluten free food available?

    Well... they have eggs, fruit, avocado etc. so I'm sure you could get creative. If someone has posted a picture of the menu maybe it will state specific dishes but you won't starve if you utilize all the delicious gluten free items and make a… 

    Do they have mimosas and marys?

    They don't:/

    Do u take reservations?

    they did not take reservations...

    Any vegan or dairy free options?

    The menu is extensive and the chef will be happy to accommodate a request not on the menus. He did for us. I'm pretty sure you could find food that fits your need.

Risotto and cod were the highlights. Risotto was cooked perfectly with a strong seafood undercurrent that was complimented nicely with the chili.

We had allergies and vegetarians for our party, and they accommodated easily. I'm a sucker for places with rotating menus, and would 1000% come here again to try their other foods! I was satisfactorily full, as I felt like the four plates were just a bit larger than tapas size. The mid-August options I'd chosen were - minestrone soup (4/5) - calamari risotto (5/5) - crispy pork schnitzel (3/5) - chamomile panna cotta (5/5) - buttered sourdough (5/5) The minestrone soup had a great creamy base with the mousse on top. Calamari risotto was delicious, creamy, soft rice, and it had a rich seafood flavor. You can tell the chef added plentiful seafood and the calamari was chewy. Crispy pork schnitzel came with a delicious mustard jus, just a little too salty for my liking. Chamomile panna cotta was probably my favorite, creamy with a subtle chamomile flavor that made it a great ending for the meal. The only thing is the timing of the food coming out was a bit slow, as there were intervals of 30 minutes in between courses. Otherwise service was exceptional and always made their rounds refilling our wine and water!

Today me and my wife stopped in for lunch as we have a few times before. It was a warm day in the Bay Area today and we were out walking so I wore a nice sleeveless shirt. It was nice, new and clean. The hostess asked me to cover my shoulders but I said I didn't have anything with me. She sent the manager over. The manager told me no sleeveless shirts for men are allowed in her restaurant. Mind you this is lunch. Not dinner. This is not a super fancy place. Me and my wife were both properly and nicely dressed. I politely told her that I identify as a woman. She said it didn't matter. I said so you misspoke a moment ago and male or female cannot wear sleeveless shirts? She said correct. I looked around and there was a woman behind us wearing a sleeveless shirt. Not nearly as nice as mine or dressed as nice as me. I said ok I will wait here while you turn her away too. The manager then became very rude and said she isn't going to serve me no matter what. I told her are you sure about this and she said yes and asked me to leave. How embarrassing. I have never been turned away from any establishment in my life. Is this not discremenation due to my gender? Businesses have the right to refuse service to anyone unless it is for race, gender or age. I will be contacting an attorney this week. This is not ok. This is not right and I will stand up for my rights and the rights of others.

From changes in the menu to headcount, she was so receptive and gave great recommendations. Everyone was thrilled with the venue and food selection. Everything served was delicious and well appreciated. My personal favorite were the raw items- the beef tartare, sushi, and oysters were divine. The beef tartare had such a thoughtful presentation, as it was served with Asian pear upon a delicate rice cracker. I also loved the french fries and housemade potato chips that were ordered! The truffled ham and cheese croquettes had a delightful creamy spice to them due to the harissa inside them, it was so savory with a layered flavor to them. I also loved the chicken tsukune, everything was amazing to lay our eyes on and to eat. I think my very minor issue would be that I ordered non-alcoholic beverage packages for my entire party and alcoholic beverages for a few, and I would say that the selection could be a bit more expansive and also elaborate upon what beverages there are to choose from. An inclusive cocktail package would be fantastic. I would recommend this location for anyone looking to host a corporate event nearby Fidi.

    This restaurant is such a lovely neighborhood spot! Perfect for date nights or special occasions…read more My partner and I came here on a Thursday around 6:45pm and the tables were roughly half full when we arrived. We ordered the Caesar salad with pomegranate seeds and pink peppercorn, as well as the wood-roasted pork belly with squash mole to start, and split the marinated flank steak. The dishes were very vegetable heavy, which we loved, since it didn't leave us feeling heavy at the end of the meal. The pork belly was our favorite dish, as it was so incredibly tender and packed with flavor. The steak was cooked perfectly and we really enjoyed the pepitas seeds mixed in. In retrospect, I think we definitely should have ordered the glassy potato, which we were advised was a menu standout, but we didn't listen!! Everything was delicious though, I just will definitely have to come back to try this dish!

Just perfect. 5/5 Ultimately, we felt very let down by the food. Yet sometime between the initial smile of the host and the last crumb of crumble, I was convinced: this place was worth the stop.
