The tartar sauce, the tang of the peppers, the perfectly fried fish and the butter grilled buns made for the best fish sandwich EVER! There were 3-4 pieces of fish on the sandwich. I had to eat it with a fork! There was about a 30 minute wait for the food once we ordered (worth it). Outdoor seating is very limited. Highly recommended!

Hook Fish is an excellent fresh seafood spot. Good fish, but small portions (and at about $18+ for…read moreany entree m with fish) and average at best sides. In addition, very high chance of lines and minimal seating options at the place. Overall: 4.0/5 Service was quick and efficient. Food was out fast, but our group did not order any fried food, which I imagine would add to the wait time. Managed to snag a table but that also may be a bit of trouble depending on the time. In addition, no indoor seating so make sure to go on a nice day or be prepared to eat in typical sf Oceanside weather. I ordered the grilled fish of the day plate, which happened to be sole. Had a nice light flavor, which I found quite tasty. The rice was a little hard, and the beans lacked flavor. I also thought pico de gallo was a bit bland as well. However the pickled slaw was excellent. Crunchy, with a nice acidity that brightened everything up. Aoli was also pretty good. The fish tacos looked good but at $9 a taco with no sides, it was a little hard for me to justify the price even with high quality fish.

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.

Second time at Hog Island & this visit was certainly not as good as the last…read more Food: 5/5 - always, highly recommend the grilled oysters as an appetizer and then we had the steamers with pasta + the seafood stew. Both were fantastic. Ambiance: 3/5 - ambiance is just okay. It's right on the water so a nice view from the outdoor seating but nothing particularly outstanding about the restaurant itself in terms of decor or architecture. Service: 1.5/5 - huge miss. For the prices on this menu, I would expect service to be a lot better. We waited in line to be sat (no waiting list, just an old school line) and it took only 10 minutes or so to be sat but it was very bizarre, we were a party of 2 ready to be sat & she took the couple behind us and sat them first. No particular reasoning given. The host seemed to really not care about much. From there, service was odd. Our server didn't introduce herself and just asked us what we wanted. Again, not a necessity but you would think for somewhere you're paying $30+ per plate, service would be a bit better. An oyster holder was delivered to our table after we had already finished oysters. Glass was broken near our table and hastily swept up. Bussers were dropping silverware right next to our table. Again, just wasn't great ambiance or service. The food is good but there are other good restaurants in San Francisco. I would really only come here again with low service expectations.

The seating inside was a bit limited and taken up by other people, but there was an ample amount of seating around the SF Ferry Building (including outside) that we were able to seat ourselves at instead. I have to admit that my standards weren't high for this sandwich, but it genuinely tasted amazing. I have to say that it was probably one of the best sandwiches that I've ever had the opportunity to eat in all of California, and I'm unsure if I'll ever be able to encounter a sandwich that tops it. Overall, amazing. I'd happily come back here again during another SF trip, if I happen to be in the area.

A great fish market, too, for those who live in the area. My only knock is that the nearly all-community seating area is small and less than comfortable. Stop by and grab lunch to go!

The Fish & Chips are the best I've had in the city! Not greasy at all and simply delightful. They also have a solid selection of beers on tap; I enjoyed a Deschutes IPA and a Guinness. A lot of people were ordering Old Speckled Hen, which I want to try next time--I've never heard of that beer and it seems quite popular. The menu features all the hits of a British pub. I want to try their Shepherd's Pie next time, and my husband wants to get the bangers and mash. He was hoping they had a scotch egg, but that's the one item not on the menu. Oh, and some sticky toffee pudding would be awesome! The only downside was a large party of eight people with screaming children. We can't seem to escape that in restaurants lately--even in a pub. Ugh, it was terrible and sadly put a damper on an otherwise delightful experience. Chuck E. Cheese energy is not the vibe. Despite that, we will be back.

I hate leaving negative reviews, but my experience with the owner of this bar was so upsetting that…read moreI feel compelled to share it. I'm currently living in San Francisco for six weeks while caring for my father, who is recovering from a double lung transplant at UCSF. It's been an emotionally exhausting time, and I was excited to find a neighborhood bar within walking distance where I could occasionally relax and decompress. I first discovered this bar after a trip to Trader Joe's. During that visit, the bartenders, especially Chris, and the rest of the staff were welcoming, friendly, attentive, and wonderful. Based on that experience, I was looking forward to returning. Unfortunately, my interactions with the owner have been the complete opposite. On my second visit, the owner repeatedly ignored me while I was trying to order. When he noticed my service dog, who was leashed, quietly sitting beside me, and causing absolutely no disruption, he loudly yelled across a crowded bar, "Get your dog out of here." I calmly explained that he is a service dog. The owner immediately rolled his eyes and demanded to know what service my dog provides. Because I did not feel comfortable disclosing personal medical information to a room full of strangers, I asked if I could privately show documentation instead. He became increasingly hostile, telling me that he "knew his rights" and that I "didn't know anything," while continuing to demand an explanation. Feeling embarrassed and cornered, I reluctantly answered his question. He rolled his eyes again and asked, "What do you want?" When I ordered a Corona, he responded by pointing his finger in my face and saying, "You mean you want a Corona PLEASE." He refused to serve me unless I repeated the order exactly as he demanded. I was shocked, humiliated, and left the bar in tears. Several patrons nearby apologized to me and expressed how uncomfortable they were witnessing the interaction. A few days later, I decided to give the bar a second chance and brought my partner with me. My partner was seated with my service dog while I walked to the bar to order. The owner immediately recognized me and once again said, "Get your dog out." I calmly reminded him that we had already had this conversation and that I had previously explained my dog's service role. He responded by asking whether I was providing a service to the dog or whether the dog was providing a service to me. After I again explained the situation, he asked what I wanted to order. I ordered two dirty gin martinis, and before I could even finish speaking, he began walking away. When he returned with the check, I asked him to keep the tab open. He again corrected me and said I needed to say, "Keep it open PLEASE." At that point, I asked why he seemed to treat me this way every time I came in. His response was, "Piss off. Finish your martini and you're never allowed back here again. Get out." Once again, I left in tears. Once again, nearby patrons appeared shocked by the way I was being treated. I've worked in professional environments my entire career and strive to treat everyone with kindness, patience, and respect. I was never rude, disruptive, or confrontational. I simply wanted to enjoy a drink at a neighborhood bar while accompanied by my service dog. The bartenders and staff were wonderful. My experience with the owner, however, was one of the most humiliating and hostile customer service experiences I have ever had.

I waited about 5 minutes and they got it to me quick. It seems like they have a bunch of these premade bowls/fish plates ready to serve. Cheap and good for SF. The ambiance was clean and not much of a sit down place. The poke combo came with a water, seaweed salad, rice and a bunch of salmon. You can choose either spicy or shoyu sauce (I got shoyu). It tasted very fresh and I really enjoyed it however I would recommend buying something else because it didn't quite fill me up. However overall really good.

I ordered spicy salmon and upgraded to combo for $11.99, which came with: rice, seaweed salad, and a bottle of water. I also tried the fish ceviche (they offer both fish and shrimp options for $7), it's a great deal for the price honestly. But keep in mind that it's a takeout only restaurant, so there is no dine in seatings. Overall, the portions are generous and the fish tasted fresh. The flavor was decent, not the best poke I've had, but definitely not bad either. If you're looking for amazing poke, this may not be your spot. But if you want a filling, healthy and budget-friendly meal (which isn't easy in SF if you're not going for fast food), it's hard to beat the value here.
