Great Cioppino, Seafood, and Steak
Friday, July 01, 2005
Took my parents for their "last meal" while visiting SF. We arrived around 5:45 and waited for about 30 min: no reservations are accepted. One can avoid the wait by eating at the bar. My Dad really wanted to try cioppino, the SF fish stew with everything in it: he said it was excellent, a huge portion, very fresh seafood and complicated in taste. My mother had the house special sole in the wine/butter sauce: she too found the fish fresh and not too heavy. I had the steak with mushroom sauce, which was very juicy and tender. The place fills up fast and gets loud. Visit if you want good food and are willing to wait and sacrifice conversation.
Pros: Fresh Seafood, Good Steaks
Cons: Gets Busy Fast, Hard to Hear/Loud
