Restaurants near Aquarium of The Bay Fisherman's Wharf

Very nice first experience at Alora. Loved the food and drink and our waitress, Lisa, was incredibly attentive and informative. She picked the best wines for us to our tastes and gave great recommendations. My only comment would be that the menu is at first a little confusing as it it not clear what sizes the plates are and what is best shared vs have as a main. But Lisa put us straight so all good :) We will be back

We have always liked Kokkari, but a few months ago our server was Heather, and we were lucky enough to have her again this lunch. She is a total delight, and she makes the dining experience even more special. It was a birthday lunch, and it was a perfect place to celebrate. Thank you Kokkari-and Heather. Barbara T.

Great service, kind staff, and memorable host! Would definitely come back! Greatest coming in and out with a special request and the host remembered, that will stick with me, I appreciated it!

I’d been waiting to try some peruvian cebiches and La Mar exceeded all expectations and then some. The cebiches, tiradito and crab tacos were amazing and the pisco sours were something else. Elyssa was a great server and all of her suggestions were a hit. Special mention to server Brad for the great recommendation, definitely will be coming back.

If you are the first time trying Spanish cuisines like gambas, pan con tomate, pintxos, paella, jamon etc,. You might be blown away by what it looks like, tastes like. But if you have some experience in Spain, you can think of it like Huh? Meh~, What? For the price you pay. Having had lots of tapas, pintxos, at Valencia, Seville, Bilbao, Jabugo, San Sebastian, authentic spanish cuisines are a bit different in terms of presentation, flavor. I know SF is one of the places where many restaurants are serving not authentic but fusion style of dishes in a way that they can make much money. But, i still like the creativity and reinterpretation of the foods they cook!
