Reviews for Franciscan Crab Restaurant in San Francisco, CA
This place was the perfect end to the day, so absolutely adorable, with the semi-private booths, red leather seating and... binoculars attached to dining areas, so that one can get a close-up view of Alcatraz, or the antics of passing sailors on theirvessels. The food was highly over priced for what you get but the service was alright and the wine was inexpensive, relative tothe food so, obviously we drank our sticker shock away and stuffed ourselves with all things seafood. I'm not crabby about it! Read more
Stopped in for a drink. So happy I did will be back for dinner. From the looks and smell of the restaurant food has to taste... great. Views here are wonderful. Bartenders a fabulous helpful in selecting a good drink. Prices reasonable for the experience. Bathrooms where clean and maintained. Read more
So we had no idea what to expect when we arrived at fisherman's wharf because it ended up being an unplanned visit. So we were... hungry and the place looked awesome. It was! The view was amazing over the bay and of Alcatraz. Binoculars were attached to ourseat for better viewing. But that is where the good ended. Our waiter was not very attentive and the food was very pricey andhonestly not that good. we had the crab and shrimp. Could just have been the cook but we were not impressed given thepresentation and cost. We would definitely go elsewhere in the future and I recommend that anyone else not get caught up by theamazing look of the place and walk up the pier further before deciding. Hunger blinded us.

Our 2nd time here. Food was always good especially the crabs. We love the crab cake. Service was good. Price is on an above... average range. Tourists area, so expected. Read more
Good food. Day time view is very nice. Beautiful ambience. Good service. Bathroom is really dirty though&service gets a bit slow... towards the end with refills. Other than that, it's almost always a pleasant experience. Oh! But 3 little pcs of crostinni for$28 was an unjust®retful order..didn't taste like it should be that high either. Everyone enjoyed everything else in thepictures below. 5stars for the host alone. &the chicken alfredo was bland (for my taste). It was better when I poured in thegarlic sauce on. Fish&chips was yummy! I would get that again. $275(without tip) was an expected deal for today...2 of thepictures were from last week's visit so no,not everything here totalled $275 Read more
Excellent view and good food for a relaxing dinner. I was solo on this dine in and it was a great setting for solo travelers or... couple traveling together. There was no wait and the food hit the spot. Order something unique…I have the European Bass…fullof flavor. Read more
We went here for my son while visiting him. We knew going in this is a big tourist trap but seriously the crab was over priced... and over cooked (check out the photo of what $115.00 gets you). We did the Two Too Crab feast that said it fed 3 people and itbarely served 2 people. Top it off with a ton of their Secret Garlic Sauce which overwhelmed the taste of the crab. The crab wasdry and over cooked. Total waist of over $115 just for the crab. Then the clam chowder tasted like it had flour dough not mixedinto the soup. Granted it has those big windows facing the ocean, but at night time you can't see a thing. Our waiter only cameby to drop off our food, he had to be asked to come over and refill our drinks. Bottom line if you want great crab and a lot fora great price, I suggest going to a Joe's Crab Shack. This place is a waist of your money. Read more
Absolutely hands down my favorite restaurant at Fisherman’s Wharf. The view of the Bay is incredible. The ambiance and... decorations are top notch. The restaurant and bathrooms were very clean. The service, drinks, food and dessert were all amazing!I even love their mermaid tail designed silverware. We went the first day on the way to the Red & White fleet sunset cruise butended up eating elsewhere not realizing what a gem this was right next to the cruise. So the next day we went back for a fullmeal. The Dungeness crab was so good! And the clam chowder in a bread bowl is a must try! Busy place but we never called aheadfor a reservation and were sat immediately. Although in busier months, I would verify. I’m sure this place gets packed as goodas it is!! Read more
