In Short This two-level, seafood-centric eatery rises out of Fisherman's Wharf like a magnificent yacht, its broad windows perfectly positioned for optimal views of Alcatraz.

My bf and I went here literally after we had just ate somewhere in the marina, but we had a cocktail here. The Food looks great but I certainly couldn't judge it. The staff was friendly and we met a very nice security guard who chatted us us for awhile. We would definitely be back on our next trip up to the bay.

Pros

+ Lovely view of the bay, parking validation, extensive menus
