"This is usually one of my first stops in San Francisco, however, this last visit was not good at all. Most importantly, the quality of food has gone down. I have always ordered the crab sandwich and this time it tasted more like mayonnaise than crab. The half order of Dungeness crab was small and rather fishy. On a positive note, the fries were fantastic. Our server didn’t even acknowledge us to take our drink order for 15 minutes after being seated. We were not served bread until our meal arrived. I hope the restaurant and our server were just having an off day because I would hate to completely write off this restaurant."

The food was over cooked and extra salty, the decor was dated, and there were flies everywhere.

typical restaurant for tourists, the atmosphere is good with patio, the service is so so, for the food quality not found anything special.

Overpriced and poor quality food. Typical touristy location where the quantity of people coming in doesn’t require the restaurants to put in the extra effort. View menu

Pompei's Grotto is not as fancy as some of the other restaurants on Fisherman's Wharf but the food is delicious and the service was great! We celebrated my husband's birthday there and had a wonderful time.

The food was mediocre at best, and the service was among the worst I've ever encountered. There are plenty of other options in the area, so I recommend making a better choice than I did and dining elsewhere.

The best seafood restaurant in San Francisco! They offer a wide variety of options, generous portions, and everything is incredibly fresh. The selection of wines may be limited, but they are thoughtfully curated. View menu

We were eating late and were among the last customers of the night. There was no feeling of pressure to hurry and the staff was wonderfully helpful with recommendations. The food was delicious! We would definitely return.

I absolutely loved the food and the service at this restaurant! I highly recommend it. My daughter got the Alfredo Fettuccini, which was very creamy and delicious. My sister ordered the Lasagna, and it was fantastic! I had the Clams and linguini with a wine and garlic sauce, and it was amazing!

"Earlier this year Salty 's was featured in one of the top 100 places to eat in the Bay Area in 2022, and after trying it a couple times, it 's easy to see why. Quality and flavor, great customer service, it checks all those boxes. I occasionally visit the 24 hour fitness on Van Ness, and Salty 's happens to be just few short blocks away which makes it perfect when I 'm looking for a post-workout sandwich. And for those that know me, I love me my sandwiches. On my latest visit, I decided to go with the 'Glorious B sandwich, which come with turkey, bacon, avocado, pepper jack, veggies, and garlic mayo. The blend of flavors and high quality of the turkey is no wonder it 's at the very top of the menu list. It 's one of those sandwiches, that you can bring to park and not need a ton of napkins to get through. It was well put together, with the ratio of all the ingredients matching well. Nothing overpowering, just sandwich perfection. The size of the sandwich I thought was the perfect size for my appetite. As I 've gotten older I can 't put down as much food as I used to, and after one-half I knew I could 've stopped eating, be content, saved the rest for later. But of course I ate the whole thing and nothing sounds better than taking a quick power nap right after. I love that their menu has so many different sandwich combinations, so definitely take time to check their menu before calling-in/walking-in to order because it 'll definitely save you some time. On my latest visit, I was in and out in 10 minutes. Definitely towards the top of my list of sandwiches in this part of town!"
