Nice view of the water off the pier and there’s so much to do in the area. A more upscale dining than what is around there but not too pricey for the quality!

It's a large space and it's wasn't especially busy so the atmosphere was lacking slightly. Would benefit from some softening with lightening or decor. Our waiter was professional but lacked any interaction or personality....we were visiting from the UK and have experienced very good service elsewhere. Not attentive and forgot our water. Disappereared without assisting with the complexities of the tipping system in San Francisco! Don't get started on that.

Whilst food was great - would have preferred starters to be served first, and then main course and not all at once causing hot food to get cold and overflow of food on the table. This process needs review.

I visited for a quick lunch before leaving for the airport and my flight back to London. I just had a Caesar Salad but it was one of the best I’ve had anywhere. I was aiming to leave the bread but as it’s their sourdough, I ate the lot! A lovely way to end my vacation in San Francisco.

Poor service. Overpriced. Small portions. Mediocre quality and food preparation. We are retired, dine out a lot and Boudin was recommended by a friend. Cafe dining experience. Decent view however.

We had the sourdough bread bowl soup and it was wonderful. We also had the flatbread and it was tasty but probably would order a sandwich for lunch instead as they looked great.
