There's a crowd here, be prepared and book or be prepared to wait... at the bar. You get a sort of pager when checking in, which goes when your table is ready... but that's in a while.

After a few drinks and supporting a star making a discreet exit, your dongle pager blinks like mad and you make your way to your table, which in our case, faced San Francisco bay with night falling over Alcatraz. Kinda special.

The fried crab provides fun and unhealthy sustenance, but tastes good, and there's a wine list.

We enjoyed the location, the food and the service.
