Daniela was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and generous throughout our visit. She gave us fantastic recommendations, not only pointing out the great items on the menu but also sharing her personal favorites--and they did not disappoint! The food was outstanding, the waterfront atmosphere was beautiful, and every dish was well worth the price. I would absolutely come back just to see Daniela again and enjoy another meal at this wonderful waterside restaurant. Highly recommend! read more

Carlos was incredible. Warm, funny and accommodated my dietary restrictions subtly and without any hesitation. So grateful for that and our family had a wonderful time. Food was delicious and was a beautiful sunset throughout dinner. We stop in at Fog Harbor every time we're in SF. Thank you. We'll see you next time! read more

Our server Nathan was great! Clam chowder was our favorite part. The summer special of Halibut Al Pastor is definitely an entree to order.

I know this is in the biggest tourist area possible but it's definitely a great place for some CHOWDER. I'm clearly from out of town but I still think about the chowder and wish I had more of it when eating here. I got a bowl but a bread bowl is a must recommend. On top of the heavily chowder I got fish and chips which were perfectly battered. Did I mention the harbor views? It was simply amazing. Be sure to add this to your visit or to your rotation! read more

We visited Fog Harbor Fish House this past weekend and have a great experience. We were lucky to score a table with a beautiful window view of the pier. The highlight of our meal was the scallop and crab risotto. My husband raved about it, and is still talking about it. I had steamed clams and happily dunked all the free bread I could in the broth. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely return when we are back in the city. read more

Fog Harbor Fish House was one of the highlights of our San Francisco trip! The views overlooking the bay made the meal even more memorable--you can watch the boats, enjoy the waterfront, and really soak in the San Francisco atmosphere. I ordered the scallops with crab risotto, and it was outstanding. The scallops were perfectly seared, tender, and buttery, while the crab risotto was creamy, rich, and full of flavor. My martini was also expertly made and the perfect complement to the meal. Between the incredible food, beautiful waterfront views, and attentive service, this is a restaurant I'd happily return to every time I'm in San Francisco. read more

Visiting from out of town and had a fantastic dinner at Fog Harbor Fish House. We started with delicious bread and butter, nice well mixed cocktails, a solid house salad with great ranch, and a couple of tasty perfectly cooked entrees - I had the pesto chicken pasta and it was delicious. Overall great food, great service, great location, and at great value. When we return to San Francisco, we'll definitely be back! read more

January is always pleasantly quiet at Pier 39 even on a Friday night at normally busy tourist destinations. Deciding to head over at the last minute with no reservations, we stumbled upon Fog Harbor Fish House. Their calamari to start was nice and light vs. heavy like some places and so addictive, I could've probably eaten the whole thing. With fish in its name, we had to go for both the salmon and seared ahi which were both excellent. Unlike most dinners, we made sure to save room for the Lotus Biscoff cheesecake as I love anything Lotus. There is something magical of having the Pier practically to ourselves when we left. read more

Food (5/5): Ordered the clam chowder in a regular bowl, scallop and crab risotto, and crab cakes. The clam chowder....wow this was absolutely delicious and the scallops were so good. The clam chowder and crab cakes were also solid. Service (5/5): I didn't realize you can get on the wait-list via Yelp app so got on the wait-list in person. Took around 20 minutes to get seated. Overall service felt refined. Food took around 15 minutes for the first item, the chowder to come out. Ambiance (5/5): Really beautiful restaurant with a bustling vibe. Old school style refined and looks nice. Great views of the pier and waterfront if you're lucky to snag a corner seat. read more

First food stop on our SF trip. They were busy so I'm surprised that we were able to book our reservation an hour before arrival. Had their clam chowder - added crab and upgraded to bread bowl. You don't get a whole lot of chowder to be honest and maybe we shouldn't have upgraded to a bread bowl since it absorbed so much of the liquid and they already serve complimentary sour dough on the side. It was fine. Cioppino - a bit salty. I was used to cioppino being a bit more tomatoey/acidic. Not my fav but it was decent. Could see Alcatraz Island from our window seats but had to wear our hats since the sun was beaming in our face for much of the meal. read more

We had a reservation for 5:30 pm on a Friday but they kindly let us come in early at 4:30 pm. Interior is large lined with huge windows along the walls providing a pretty view of the bay. We shared 4 dishes among 4 people and were all stuffed. Prices were a little on the higher end but food was fresh and good quality. They also provided complimentary fresh sourdough bread and butter. -Fish & chips (4/5): tasty and perfectly crispy! Pieces were huge and juicy and went deliciously well with the tartar sauce. Good portions of fries and coleslaw but fries could've been more flavorful and crispier -Shrimp brochette (4.5/5): delicious, fresh and juicy shrimp! Came with 2 skewers lined with shrimp. Perfectly seasoned. Came with mashed potatoes which were also delicious and so creamy. Veggies were also a good side but slightly chewy -Mixed grill (4/5): I liked the variety of salmon, cod and shrimp though they were a little bland but all moist. Came with mashed potatoes and veggies as well FYI that they add a 5% surcharge to the bill. read more

Made a reservation for Friday 5:30PM but they kindly let us in early when we got hungry and came at 4:30 lol. It's very large inside and the view of the water is pretty. We ordered 4 dishes for 4 people and were completely stuffed. A bit pricey but it all tasted fresh and I think it's worth the experience Fish & chips (4/5): pieces were HUGE and perfectly breaded and crispy! The fish inside was very moist and soft, just melts in your mouth. However, the fries could've been crispier and more flavorful and coleslaw could've used more flavor as well Shrimp brochette (4.5/5): shrimp was plentiful and fresh, savory and even better with the butter. Also came with mashed potatoes which were yummy and creamy, but veggies were slightly chewy Mixed grill (3/5): I liked the variety of salmon, shrimp and cod but they all tasted pretty bland. Same notes for the mashed potatoes and veggies read more

This was my first visit to the Pier. We decided on Fog Harbor squarely on its ratings - they did not disappoint. We were seated a table with beautiful view of the harbor. Where could maritime activities and the seals. Our server came to our table quickly and took our order. He brought out hot rolls with butter, which this bread lover enjoyed. I ordered the read more

Our first night visiting San Francisco and we wanted dinner after walking down to Pier 39 to see what was going on. Fog Harbor had great reviews, and they could seat us in 15 minutes, which they did. The garlic bred with blue cheese was so delicious it is hard to describe. You have to like blue cheese though, because they are generous with it. Our seafood entrees were equally delicious, the service was outstanding, and the restaurant itself is very nice. There are several seafood places to try on the pier, but you cannot go wrong if you try Fog Harbor. read more

Fog Harbor Fish House - Seafood Near Me - San Francisco, California

Let's get the obvious out of the way: yes, it's expensive. And yes, it's right in the middle of one of the biggest tourist areas in San Francisco. Now that we've accepted that reality... The food was very good, the seafood was fresh, and the portions were surprisingly generous. This isn't one of those places where you pay premium prices and leave wondering if you should stop for a burger on the way back to the hotel. We left full. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was lively, and it's a fun place to sit, relax, and people-watch while taking a break from the crowds around Fisherman's Wharf. Is it the hidden local gem you'll brag about discovering? Probably not. Is it a solid choice when you're already on the Wharf and want a good seafood meal with a view? Absolutely. The only reason I couldn't quite give it five stars is the value. You're definitely paying a Fisherman's Wharf premium. But if you know that going in, enjoy the generous portions, and don't expect a bargain, you'll likely leave happy--and probably with enough leftovers to remember the meal again later. 4 STARS read more

Would like to come back to this spot. Been many times to Pier 39, however, I did not know about this hidden Gem. First time here and definitely not last. My review is going to be based on bar and a quick entree. As I wasn't hungry but just wanted a quick bite. Sat at the bar area and ordered a few drinks. The drinks were flavorful and nicely done. The clam chowder in the bread bowl was delicious. The service was fast, and bar tender was nice. read more

There is usually quick seating unless you're a large group. The menu isn't overwhelming, with seasonal specials that always tempt me. I'm a creature of habit so they've tempted me away periodically from my usuals whenever I visit. Despite it being at Pier 39, it's insanely reasonably priced. Its views are incredible, with an easy to get to location (as to enter the pier, look to your upper left) and you won't be disappointed. read more

Total tourist trap. The sourdough bread was covered in all of the spices one would use for blackened fish. My mouth was burning. My cod was served the same way. Nothing on the menu warns of this. I couldn't taste neither the bread nor the fish. Unfortunately I think that was the whole idea. The clam chowder was too thick but it had decent flavor. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

So glad we chose Fog Harbor for our first trip to San Francisco! The service was great, our waitress was attentive and friendly. She even made some suggestion about things to do in the area. I know this is located in a tourist area but it really felt like a high quality restaurant. We had an outstanding view sitting right next to their giant windows. We could see the boats coming in and out at the dock, Alcatraz and the sea lions! I mean what else could you ask for! The food was good. Huge crab and they even gave me some garlic butter for dipping, YUM! This was a great experience and I'm so happy we picked this one over all the other crab houses in the area. read more

I LOVE the seared scallop and crab risotto here! It's the best risotto I've had and the scallop was cooked perfectly. Another highlight were the mussel fries. I liked that it felt like its own dish rather than just fries with mussels on top. The clam chowder was delicious and is the best I've had in SF! The crème brûlée is a good choice too if you're wanting dessert. It gets pretty crowded and loud in the restaurant since the tables are relatively close to each other, and waiters are constantly on their feet trying to serve everyone. But in the two times I've been here recently, the service is excellent. The waiters were attentive and on top of things. You can get more bread if you want, but be careful on what kind of water you order. When they ask if you want tap water, still water or sparkling water, expect that you'll be charged for the still and sparkling waters. We didn't know that the still water costed extra, and we were charged $8.50 per bottle. We wish that the extra cost was disclosed at the start, but now we know for next time. read more

This seafood restaurant on the 2nd floor at the start of Pier 39 overlooking the bay had wonderful service and terrific views of the bay. Try to get a seat by the window. It was packed and we were seated quickly but towards the back and by the waiter station which was just ok. The restaurant was loud and good for big groups of people. They gave us delicious sourdough rolls to start. Known for their clam chowder I gave it a try, topped off with some delicious crab meat. Yummy! However, my Caesar salad came out with regular salad greens and the dressing tasted off :/ Our waiter recommend the house Cabernet which was too light for me - I would have started with a smaller pour had he asked. The Trumbull cab was great but I wasn't expecting it to be $25! I realized once I got the check they automatically gave the larger pour so be forewarned. Overall, worth it for the food and view but expect to pay $$$ read more

We decided to dine at Fog Harbor Fish House after hearing so many positive reviews, and it did not disappoint. While waiting for our table, we relaxed in the beautifully decorated waiting area with a cozy fireplace, such a warm and inviting atmosphere. The young hostess was lovely and worked hard to accommodate everyone despite how busy it was. I started with a cosmo martini while my husband enjoyed another glass of Cabernet. For dinner, I ordered the Shrimp Brochette with grilled shrimp, garlic mashed potatoes, sautéed vegetables, and drawn butter wow absolutely delicious. My husband had the salmon with bok choy and vegetables, which he really enjoyed as well. Overall, it was a wonderful meal and we'll definitely be back. This place gets very busy, so I highly recommend making a reservation! read more

I enjoyed the food here. Very delicious. We shared the food and skipped dessert and that worked well for us as we were very full at the end. Great setting overlooking the water.

Reservations recommended! For being on Fisherman's Wharf and heart of tourist town, really not bad! Service was friendly and there is a nice waiting area with a fireplace. Mussel & fries: 8/10 my favorite, good flavor, not too creamy, and pretty solid. It's an app, but totally shareable and entree worthy Seafood platter for 1: 8/10, good quality seafood and a nice deal for what you get. A bit on the oiler side Crispy calamari: 7/10 nice shareable app! Fish & chips: 7.5/10, solid, not oily Baked oysters: 5/10 too much cheese in my opinion All in all, a nice restaurant for a sit down at the pier. Solid food options and drinks as well! read more

Great cocktails, and my favorite Napa Valley Chardonnay #Trefethen. read more

I made reservations here during my most recent vacation to San Francisco, and it did not disappoint. I had low expectations at first for a restaurant on the pier in such a busy tourist area, but I was pleasantly surprised. We were seated pretty quickly when we arrived and got to sit by the window, which was the perfect view, especially at sunset. I asked the waitress for a recommendation, and she suggested a garlic crab dish. It was delicious and came with potatoes and vegetables, which made it feel like a complete meal. I don't really drink alcohol, but they had a nice bar area, and I saw many people enjoying happy hour. Just an FYI, they do add a 5% surcharge to each bill. I think it's a San Francisco thing, but I'm not entirely sure, just wanted to mention it. I will definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again. read more

Fog Harbor Fish House - garlic crab - Seafood Near Me - San Francisco, California

While visiting San Francisco... Fog Harbor was the perfect spot to grab a quick lunch once we landed before heading to Napa. My first time in San Francisco and I loved it. The weather could've been a bit warmer but still nice enough to walk around. They were pretty busy when we walked in, but there were plenty of bar seats available. We had a nice bartender who talked to us about everything from tequila to weather. We ordered the Fried Scallop Appetizer which was just ok since we thought the scallops were a bit chewy. The clam chowder was also just ok but we probably compared it to Boston's best. We still enjoyed our time here, tired from our early flight, but the views were the best. read more

I dined in solo at the bar on Friday 6/12/2026 after returning from my Alcatraz tour. The majority of bar visitors seem to be having a drink while waiting on a table. I started with the blue cheese wedge salad which had a ton of toppings and was delicious. I find that most places never put enough dressing on their wedge salads while here almost put a little too much! I then had the Shrimp Brochette entree which was grilled shrimp that came with mashed potatoes and green beans. I really enjoyed my entire meal including my amaretto sour. read more

We were here during the Memorial Day weekend, May 22. The ambiance is amazing. The atmosphere is calming and peaceful. The food we ordered were delicious and excellent. The drinks were superb and so refreshing. We enjoyed savoring every bite of food. I sincerely love their clam chowder, fresh and delicious. The way they cooked it was like the best chowder I've ever had. Our server was very helpful and he explained what's the ingredients and how it was prepared. Sometimes, we can't get this information, especially when a restaurant is super busy; but, our server took his time to explain every detail from the appetizers to their desserts even though they were busy. And he always seemed to be very attentive to what we need. He is so kind and polite. If you love seafood I will definitely recommend this restaurant 100% wherever you're in SF. It's worth spending your money on food, drinks here at Fog Harbor Fish House. We will definitely come back here. read more

We chose this place after hearing so many great reviews, especially about the clam chowder, so our expectations were very high. Unfortunately, the chowder didn't quite live up to the hype during our visit. It was quite thick, heavy on potatoes, and lacked the depth of flavor we were hoping for. We both ordered bowls with crab, and for the price--around $40 for two bowls--it didn't feel quite worth it. That said, the scallop risotto was outstanding. The scallops were incredibly fresh, juicy, and possibly some of the best we've had. We would absolutely recommend trying that dish alone--it was the highlight of our meal. Overall, while the clam chowder didn't meet expectations this time, the scallop risotto was exceptional and worth coming back for. Hopefully, the chowder is better on a different visit for others. read more
