I enjoyed myself here. The clam chowder was thick and creamy...two thumbs up, and the crab was no slouch. I will definatly be back. Our waiter was fairly accomodating he was always there when i needed a refill. So no comlaints there. The only complaint i could really think of that would warrant some concern, was the way they treated their staff. Alot of yelling and cursing. Not a very civil thing to do in front of customers. And the oysters could have been much fresher. All in all it was good, but they need to address management issues that require loud yelling privatly. That part was extremly unprofessional . Pros: good shrimp and clam chowder Cons: a little unproffesional with the yelling

A wonderful seafood restaurant located in Santana Row which is one of the most upscale shopping districts in the area. The best salad is the Shrimp Louie Salad. It has bay shrimp, avocado, eggs, and croutons which are arranged on a bed of arugula. The dressing is just delicious !

My girlfriends and I went with our toddlers for lunch. When we entered, the hostess, who was training, was very friendly and seated us. To our dismay, the waiters and waitresses were RUDE enough to scold the hostess in front of us for seating us because they were not yet opened for lunch - didn't see a sign outside with hours and all the doors were opened. We apologized and said we can leave and come back in 5 minutes or so but they said it was alright. But we got looks from everyone! The "kids meals" were piping hot when they served it. What's up with that? All in all, the food was good but no "WOW!". The servers all had attitudes so we left a poor tip - and I'm a BIG tipper now that I have a toddler. I'll never give them my business again.

We went to Yankee Pier for dinner on Wednesday March 21, 2007. When we were greeted by the hostess, she told us to wait for a table when the restaurant was empty. We got seated in the cold back patio. It seemed though as if all the colored people were seated in that section because all the white people were sitting in the warm inside or outside of the restaurant were there were nice heaters and nice views of the shops at Santana Row. Our server was very rude, she didn't bother to serve us. She didn't bring out plates for the bread and when my girlfriend asked the hostess for plates, she gave us dirty plates. Our server didn't even notice or bother to care about the dirt on the plates. We also ordered lobster and she said it was served cold when we asked it to be served hot. It's not that hard to heat up a lobster, I think she was being lazy or not wanting to give us what we wanted. I am never coming back here again. We were treated like prisoners on angel island. This restaurant should be shut done because there is a lot of better places out there were the service actually pays attention to the customers. Pros: nothing Cons: service is absolutely horrible

I met up with a friend at Yankee Pier for lunch over the weekend and it was really nice experience. We were able to sit outside and people watch since it was beautiful day and Santana Row was humming with people at the farmer's market. The clam chowder is delicious and service was very nice, prompt, and friendly.

My aunt and I had lunch on a Tuesday and the the service was courteous and prompt. My aunt enjoyed her lobster roll and I enjoyed my chowder and shrimp salad. Our table outside was fun because we could people watch as we dined. My beer was served in a iced glass and my aunts tea was served with hot hot water and lemon, just as she likes it.

Yankee Pier is a great casual restaurant across from the Concierge booth in Santana Row, with sidewalk seating that's great for people-watching on the Row. Inside it's decorated in the Cape Cod vein with a lighthouse and seafaring decor. This restaurant is owned by the Lark Creek Group/chef Bradley Ogden which owns incredible restaurants, and it puzzles me that it's never been crowded on the days I've been there because the seafood dishes are simple yet amazing. The salads are so fresh and crisp and my favorite dish, the Maine lobster roll, is to die for (I salivate as I type this). Cold lobster salad on a hot, toasted buttery roll and served with Kettle chips --- it's genius! Granted, I have not tried many items on the menu but from the experiences I've had here, I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. PROS: The Maine lobster roll CONS: None I can think of

Everyone is super friendly, the atmosphere is child friendly, but can definitely get extremely loud - even for folks with children - the children end up being the quiet of the bunch. Prices are a bit high for the volume of food being served. But I guess that's why it's in Santana Row. Pros: Friendly Service, Kid Friendly, Clean Cons: Loud, Slow Service, Some items Overpriced

I only go for their oysters. I like to sit outside, order oysters and a mango martini or bloody mary and watch the people out to see and be seen on Santana Row. Pretty funny stuff. I'm no connoisseur, but I really like their oysters and there's something about their cocktail sauce that's yummy to me... Their burger is also surprisingly good, but everything else is mediocre... average at best. The servers aren't very attentive, but service isn't horrible. Indoor seating feels stuffy and slightly humid. I always end up back there but never order anything but oysters. Weird, I know. Pros: Oysters Cons: Limited menu, Unimpressive food
