Description:
Albeit a tiny space with bar dining downstairs and a handful of tables upstairs, Bar Crudo has made quite a splash with its exquisite seafood. Impeccable preparation and spot-on flavors distinguish the fare, whether you choose chilled shellfish or their crudo (raw fish) items. The latter get a kick with fennel, mint, tobiko, ginger, and blood oranges. Seafood chowder, with its base of applewood-smoked bacon, pleases folks who want something hot; other possibilities include tuna confit, an artisan cheese plate, and sherry duck liver mousse. The bar's spotlight shines on an array of Belgian beers. |

Description:
UNION SQUARE. An undersea fantasy world reigns at Farallon, one of undulating curves, glimmering details, and sea-creature accents. It's home to perhaps San Francisco's most famous seafood restaurant, led by chef Mark Franz and specializing in "coastal cuisine." Fresh shellfish starts the meal, followed by grilled Pacific ono, sauteed skate wing, Maine lobster, and prosciutto-wrapped branzino. The popular "seafood pyramid" piles together shrimp, scallops, lobster, julienned leeks, and salmon caviar. Poultry, beef, and veal are also available, along with a decadent dessert list and artisanal cheeses. Menu changes daily. |

Description:
NOB HILL. For generations, this small eatery has been delighting seafood lovers from all over the city. Distinguished by a marble counter and pull-up stools, the place puts all its attention on fresh shellfish, especially just-shucked oysters. You can also try clams on the half-shell, cracked crab, lobster, and shrimp, along with a few soups and salads. The place doesn't stand out from the street, so keep your eyes peeled. And if you're around during the lunchtime rush, you'll most likely have to wait. Since 1912. |

Description:
FINANCIAL DISTRICT. Lauded for its incomparable cuisine, this much-loved restaurant builds its reputation on unfailing consistency in quality and atmosphere. Each visit, in fact, is meat for fond memories. The restaurant's specialty, however, is seafood. Lobster tail, in the kitchen's accomplished hands, becomes a work of art, and fresh fish receives just what it needs to become a rich feast or a light revelation of flavors. Beautiful presentation is a given, as is Aqua's popularity. Tasting menus, a well-selected wine list and exquisite desserts add to the allure. |

Description:
FINANCIAL DISTRICT. Old-school classics are the rule here, and for more than 150 years, the place has thrived on simplicity, a great menu, and time-tested hospitality. Seafood is the standard, prepared a variety of ways (mesquite-grilled, baked in a casserole) and always impeccable in quality. Among its mainstays are lobster Thermidor, oyster stew, clam chowder, Dungeness crab, calamari steak, and petrale sole. Meat dishes are available, and desserts include baked apples and cheesecake. Great local color and servers. |

Pesce |

(Restaurants - Seafood) |

|
Distance:
~0.72 mi * |

Description:
RUSSIAN HILL. Mahogany paneling, tiled floors, and a zinc-topped bar hint at Pesce's sophisticated bent, which is only confirmed by its terrific cuisine. Specializing in cicchetti, a Venetian take on tapas, the restaurant confidently serves seafood married with lemon, olive oil, truffles, fennel, and arugula. Small-plate portions mean that you can indulge in several taste sensations, and fortunately, full-sized entrees can also be had. They include grilled ahi tuna, beef tenderloin, and cioppino. A raw bar is also a treat, as are refreshing Italian cocktails. |

Yabbies Coastal Kitchen |
|
(Restaurants - Seafood) |

|
|
Distance:
~0.74 mi * |
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
RUSSIAN HILL. "Yabbies," in Australian slang, are crayfish, and although you'll find them on the menu, the casual, provincial name belies the modern-spirit of the restaurant and its broad, globally-inspired menu. A raw bar and wine bar provide both focus and great selections, including clams, six kinds of oysters, and peel-and-eat shrimp. However, main dishes often steal their luster, given such innovative creations as rock shrimp ceviche, grilled ahi, Maine scallops, crab with mango, and cioppino. Chicken and beef also make appearances, and desserts include creme brulee and chocolate terrine. |

Description:
EMBARCADERO. Sometimes, the simplest things in life are best, a premise wholeheartedly embraced by the people who run this fantastic oyster bar. In fact, they raise the oysters about an hour north of the city, and their sweet, succulent mollusks are some of the area's best. Indulge in a selection at an outdoor table, and couple awesome Bay views with a dozen Hog Island Sweetwaters or Kumamotos. Add in a glass of wine, some sake or a cold beer, and there's nothing better! Clams, clam chowder, oyster stew and salads can be had as well. |
