Sinbad's

Brought our mom to Sinbads for lunch during mothers day. We were so happy and got our moneys worth when she said the food was excellent and she, like the rest of us, had a nice time there. She ate grilled snapper and had a glass of chardonnay. Pros: excellent food! Cons: difficult to get a table by the window more

Not only is the view fabulous but the clam chowder is definitely a reason I will go back..................... Pros: EXCELLENT Clam chowder!! more

Sinbad's is the best. The service and people are awesome. Sit at the bar and simply enjoy the view. I had the shrimp cocktail and my friend had the calamari-both were delicious. The bartenders are super friendly and it's the perfect place to end your day after touring the city. Great views, nice people and tasty food! Pros: Amazing view, fun atmosphere more

A tad bit overpriced, but youre paying for the location. Id still recommend the place. Parking is a pain though. Pros: Fish and Chips Cons: Price more

Food at Sinbads is simply delicious. I like very much their captain's seafood combination and calamari. The view is spectacular, too. Good for romantic dates. Pros: food and view Cons: hard to get a table by the window more

Sinbad's is just amazingly good! Had Joe's Special for brunch.. it was so specially tasty.. with a generous stuffing of chopped sirloin, cheese an... more

I consider this retaurant mid high end,hence, the foods are bit costly, but it's really worth it. Their captain's seafood combination and calamari ... more

My boyfriend took me out for our christmas date night(exchange gifts and such) i had never been to Sinbad's, i hate seafood, but he loves it....i was excited to find a restaurant where we both could be happy, lots of non seafood options! we had some great drinks, and enjoyed the amazing view of the bay bridge! i ordered veggitarian wellington and loved it! my man ordered the swordfish provencale and was also very happy. after are great filling dinner we split the shaffenberger chocolate cake mmmmm i would have taken a whole cake to go if i could. it was a delicious meal with personable service( the waitress was nice and prompt but also gave us time to enjoy each others company). we will for sure be heading back for our next romantic night. Pros: romantic, great view. non-seafood options! more

We just had our office christmas party at Sinbad's. It was actually my first time in this restaurant. The first impression I had was the very nice ambiance of the inside and the view of the bay was simply fantastic. My officemates and I had really a good time there.. food was great! I had salmon florentine, so delicious. Some of my colleagues had london broil and grilled snapper, all of them were fully satisfied with their food. The freshly brewed coffee was so inviting, we couldnt help, but ordered dessert, too- that perfected our meal.. I promised myself to go back to Sinbad's soon and try their other dishes, too. Pros: perfect meal Cons: desserts are so tempting more

I'm a frequent customer of Sinbad's. When I feel like rewarding myself after a busy and tiring day, I go to this restaurant for a hearty meal. The food is great, view is fantastic and service is good. I've been to many restaurants in the bay area, no one can beat Sinbad's seafood, the best so far! You should try its clam chowder, too.. its creamy and tasty. Pros: good food Cons: old sanfranscisco style ( though nice) more

I always eat at Sinbad's.. they have the best seafood in town. Few of my favorites are the halibut champignon, salmon florentine and shrimp angel hair pasta...just thinking about these dishes makes my mouth water. They're really delicious and the prices are just fair. The view is beautiful, too. I don't see any other restaurants along Embarcadero which have the same ambiance and quality of food and service as Sinbad's. Pros: best seafood Cons: addictive more

I brought my 2 visiting sisters in SF to Sinbad's Restaurant for lunch. While the outside of the resto looked simple, the inside, with the view of the bay and the baybridge was amazingly beautiful. Having been informed that seafood is its specialty, we ordered captain's seafood combination, seafood pasta and halibut provencale- all 3 dishes were impressively delicious. You can tell by their taste that the seafood and all other ingredients were fresh and of the best quality. We ended our meal with NY cheesecake and apple pie a la mode...gosh, they were heavenly tasty! I felt sorry for my sister (who was on diet) who couldn't resist such sinfully good desserts. We also had an excellent service from a waiter named Jose, who was not only an efficient server but also friendly..funny, too. I was glad I chose the right restaurant for my guests.. they were truly impressed. Thank you Sinbad's! Pros: good food,reasonable price, nice view Cons: hard to get nice tables more

This place has valet parking and it's only $4! Then you get inside and it's kinda like a time warp, I love that about this place. The food is good, but you pay for the view and the drinks are super strong, especially if you are just sitting at the bar. I really think I am going to have a party here sometime soon and show all my friends the ridiculous statue at the entrance of Sinbad's. You gotta go and see what all the fuss is about, the reviews on this place are mixed but it is never dull when I am here even if it is quiet on a Friday evening. Pros: Valet parking Cons: the women's bathroom more

I am new to the city and was looking for a great place for seafood. FOUND IT!! While hanging out at the bar I met a woman. Drop dead gorgeous older woman. I came in for seafood and went home with a cougar. Seriously, this place rocks! Pros: Servers, Veiw, Food, Stiff Drinks, Hotties Cons: None more

Native from the bay area, but I have not been in Northern Ca for about 10 years. I have always seen this restaurant and never got the chance until last night. The view is great, but the food is expensive and mediocre. Sinbad's was pretty empty for a Friday night, but it did give me excellent service. more

This was my first time at Sinbad's and I will definitly be back soon! The view from this restaurant is georgous! The entire staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the bartender made me one of the best lemon drops I have ever had! Great place to stop by after work to relax, have a cocktail, and enjoy the view! more

What a jewel! I had lunch here yesterday and was very impressed with the amazing views from this restaurant. You can literally pull up a seat to the bar and look out at the bay and beautiful bridge. My friend and I were seated at a cute little table by a huge window. The natural light was fantastic. I am a harsh critic when it comes to clam chowder. I have lived in the bay area for just about 20 years and have tried many clam chowders at different restaurants around the city. Delicious! Also, parking in San Francisco can be a big pain. Parking here is a breeze. Valet was something like $4. That is unheard of in the city. I highly recommend this restaurant! Pros: Parking, views, service more

Since we live in SF, we can be a bit jaded about going down to the piers to eat. This attitude does two things - 1) we miss out on a lot of great places to eat and 2) we miss out on the amazing views this city has to offer. This summer we made a vow to stop thinking that way and have been hitting the piers and as many restaurants as possible. Sinbad's is one that we keep coming back to time and time again. We had been going for quick afternoon lunches (on those beautiful SF days) and some happy hours (when you need a place to sit before going home) and were always pleased but last week we decided to stop in for brunch. I must say we now have a new favorite brunch place. The eggs benedict was one of the best I have had and that's coming from someone who LOVES egg benedicts! It was so delicious I asked for the recipe! My wife had the blueberry pancakes which were also very tasty. It had just the right amount of fruit and the syrup was real syrup, not the fake kind you get at those really crowed Sunday morning places. If you are a local or visiting, Sinbad's is a very cool place to check out. Pros: Great food, great service and a place with a lot of SF history Cons: if its raining the views arent as nice as when its sunny out more

Stopped in here for a bite with a work colleague at lunch today. I have driven by so many times and when I realized they had valet parking I was completely sold on the idea. Once inside I realized this is the perfect place to bring out of town guests. Where ever you are seated in this restaurant you have expansive views of the bay and the bay bridge, these views are the very reason that I love living in this city so much. In terms of food I had a salad and the clam chowder. Clam chowder is one of my favorite comfort foods and theirs did not disappoint! I ordered the garden/house salad and was not expecting much more then your usual lettuce, tomato and maybe a cucumber but what came was an array of veggies including beets, yummy I love beets! Their service was courteous, friendly and attentive. Looking forward to bringing family and friends back soon, thank you Sinbad's. Pros: Amazing view, good food and exceptional service! more

The food here is great!! I work in the Ferry Building and I love to be able to go over and visit my friend Michael (bartender) and have a great burger or a Monte Cristo Sandwich!! Gosh, give them a break! Just recently, I have made amazing friendships there. I have a place next door to go and visit and be with the "top shelf" friends before they board the Alameda Ferry. We have amazing conversations, both women and men! I am fortunate to make good friends that are in my age group and we can sit until the wee hours and have intelligent conversations! And Marcello (hope I spelled your name correctly, if not I owe you a drink)the bartender is a kind and refined and a very supportive, wonderful man! It is a "family" that anyone could only hope for! I am sorry people do not appreciate this but I have news for you! Out of all the "Yuppie and Preppie" restaurants out there, that are only catering to those that are Blackberry or IPhone prone, than this is not the place for you! We are of the "now" time of life because life is too short to be constantly hooked up to a device. We actually talk to each other!! What a concept right?? We have amazing converstions with a lot of laughter and make valuable friends! I personally love to go over at lunch and have a cheeseburger or a wonderful Monte Cristo Sandwich! Get your heads out of "you know where" and get off your "high horse" and enjoy the waterfront! It does not matter how old you are, if you are a nice and decent person we will welcome you with open arms!!! The men at the door are wonderful and will make your dining experience one to remember!! This was written by a real customer...don't believe me? Come on in and I will tell you personally! Yvonne~ Pros: Everything is wonderful! Staff is superb! Cons: None more
