Like many of the other reviewers (other than the owners who have written the "good" reviews), my wife and I were down on the Embarcadero and in search of some lunch. We very stupidly thought that Sinbad's was a bit more casual than the surrounding establishments due to the fact that the paint was fading and there was a pirate as you walked in and the simple fact that the place is called Sinbad's, but we quickly learned by one glance at the menu how wrong our assumptions were. First off, the plates they gave us with the silverware on it were still dirty with food crusted on and the forks and knifes were thrown on in less than polite fashion. When I asked the "waitress" for a clean plate she looked at me as if to say, "Do you think the next plate will be any cleaner?" And it wasn't. My fault probably. Anyway, I ordered the Monte Cristo and my wife ordered the Nicoise salad. Thank god we didn't order anything else. They were both equally horrible. My "sandwich" had more oil and grease than Jiffy Lube and the "tuna" on the mrs.' salad was straight from the can, and we're praying that it was just a can. The salad included two green beans, peas (uh...ok), and yellow, dry, decayed cucumber. How the hell do you do that to a cucumber? Every time the "waitress" asked us how our food was, she would walk away before we could reply almost expecting the harsh truth. I could go on and on. We got the hell out of there as quickly as we could and left no tip. Beware at all costs. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT GO HERE unless you have some sort of sadomasochistic quality.
Pros: Not on fire at that moment.
Cons: Not on fire at that moment.
