![]() ![]() ![]() We were able to enjoy the sun setting over the various waves. We were lucky and sat directly at one of the best viewing windows directly into the bay. It was a very disappointing snack, drink and service.įirst impressions: A What better way to end a day of adventuring in San Francisco than being on the docks chowing down on some delicious seafood! We made reservations earlier and were seated promptly upon arrival to Fog Harbor. However, a warning for those who love fresh calamari that has a strong calamari flavor - do not order this dish, unless you love the taste of breading. Maybe the other seafood at the restaurant is good, with the fish being highlighted. If we would've been asked how our food ways we would've been honest without being mean, but we never had the chance. I tried the Manhattan cocktail since it was made with my favorite bourbon, Buffalo Trace, but the drink only had a bourbon taste, but was missing that sweet vermouth and hint of bitters. I can't assume why but even my cocktail drink was disappointing. To make the visit even worse our waiter didn't even ask how our meal was. We had to break apart the breading from each piece just to get to the calamari and by then, all it tasted like was the breading seasoning. Now to be honest, the breading had a good flavor, but the calamari was lost. As you can see from the picture, about half of the dish was just breading. The best part of the dish were the jalapenos and onions. The calamari dish (costing $17) was billed as fried calamari with jalapenos and grilled onions with a lemon aioli. Thus, while we were visiting San Francisco and exploring all of the city's rich food scene we were hungering for some delicious Calamari and what better place to try out than at one of San Fran's top seafood restaurants? Well, the joy of our dish stopped at the view. The server tried to entice us with a visual dessert tray offering but we were just too full of seafood goodness to fit in any sweets, although they were a mix of all my favourites including creme brûlée, apple crisp with ice cream and chocolate cake! Sadly, this means I’ll have to go back one day and try them all.My wife and I love fresh, flavourful seafood. And the best part of eating at the Fog Harbor, aside from the amazing food of course, is the fact that they are the first restaurant on Fisherman’s Wharf to offer a 100% sustainable seafood menu. Let’s be honest, does anyone else make a lobster bib look this good? I think not. We ordered lobster mac and cheese which was every mouthful as good as it sounds, and a half lobster stuffed with crab…lobster heaven. I followed up with a couple of dishes that I shared with Julie of 3ChickensAndABoat. I ordered a cup of clam chowder to start and as I practically licked the bowl clean using a slice of their in house made sour dough bread that was still hot from the oven, as proof it was hands down the best clam chowder I’ve ever had. While, yes, the service was impeccable and yes, the decor was lovely and clean, the Fog Harbor is all about the view out the window and the view on your plate. It’s situated right on the harbor with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge on one side and Alcatraz on the other. This place doesn’t have a bad seat in the house. The 4 of us met up with Melissa from Family Fun Canada for dinner at the Fog Harbor Fish House. The pier is a tourist hot spot with views of the bay, shops, vendors, buskers, street art and of course food. We wandered down to the famous Pier 39 at Fisherman’s Wharf for some more shopping. There are restaurants everywhere and it can be extremely hard to pick. ![]()
