Best Historic Restaurants in Fisherman's Wharf

When we have visitors come to town, we always take them to Boudin. The staff are excellent. The food is consistently good and usually, you can get a view from almost every table. The atmosphere is welcoming and I love the downstairs gift shop. It’s always clean, including the facilities. It is a solid place to visit and have space to have good food, drinks and share time with friends and family.

A San Francisco classic. Right on the water with waiters that wear white jackets and call you sir. Took my family of 7 (all adults now) and had a wonderful time during the Christmas holiday. The cioppino was awesome, service excellent, and an atmosphere that makes just want to hang out there with family and friends. A little pricey as expected and I like that they offer validated parking.

Born and raised in the Bay Area but have been living in SF proper for 14 years now. Kinda ashamed to say I finally checked out this SF institute today but better late than never as the food and service were absolutely incredible! I consider myself a cioppino connoisseur so had to try theirs and cross it off my list. I must say, the cioppino at Original Joe’s definitely did not disappoint and immediately shot to my top 5 list for sure. Throw in the impeccable service we received from our server David and his fellow team members and I can see why it’s become such a San Francisco landmark! Kudos to Original Joe’s in North Beach!

Fior D'Italia is always a pleasure. Classic Italian food at (by today's standards) reasonable prices. Hearty portions served by professional staff in a large dining room where you don't feel crammed. I highly recommend this SF instituion!

Best holiday dinner in the city. We were seated right away. Had martinis that were perfect. Dinner was delicious and served quickly. Our waiters were great about suggestions and appearing whenever we needed them. The whole staff was in a holiday attitude and it showed. We love this restaurant for its food and atmosphere. Always take visitors here for the San Francisco local experience. It’s a treasure.
