4.5 / 5.0(9,716 reviews)

Every dish was exceptionally prepared and well-balanced in flavor. The scallops with risotto were tender and meaty, while the mixed seafood grill offered a generous portion with a perfect char and tangy, well-seasoned finish. The salmon was flawlessly grilled, and the cod, paired with a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce, was rich and satisfying. The penne chicken pasta carried a bright pesto flavor, tying the meal together beautifully. Nothing was over-seasoned—just thoughtfully crafted, flavorful dishes from start to finish. We paired it with the California Sauvignon Blanc. Exceptional dining experience at Fog Harbor Fish House! We had an amazing meal with a beautiful view of the bay. The calamari was perfectly crisp and flavorful, and the miso-glazed salmon was cooked to perfection; tender, flaky, and full of flavor. Our server, Jorge, made the experience even better with his friendly attitude and attentive service. He made us feel welcome from start to finish. Highly recommend this spot if you’re visiting San Francisco and want fresh seafood with great service and atmosphere! We had such a great time on our 6th Anniversary at Fog Harbor! The food was soooo good! The service was top notch. We were welcomed by one of the Manager named Arif. He was very professional, very welcoming, very polite and very attentive. Our server's name is Jordan. He was very friendly and always checked in with us if everything was alright. He was very smiley too! Thank you so much for making our 6th anniversary so special. We had such a wonderful time and it was also my mom's first time in the US and our first time at Fog Harbor! It was all worth it :)) The ambience was so great. We had a table with sea lion view :)) The ventilation was good. Although the tables are kinda close to each other, it does not feel like crampy. I would recommend this place as well if you are looking for a place to celebrate your anniversary in a way that does not make you feel uncomfortable. I felt not being myself when I went to fine dining experience. This place not only can fill your stomach but also offer great experience. Recommended!

We celebrate our 22nd anniversary with my boys. They able to accommodate with only two days in advance reservation. The receptionists were great with big smile, they are lace us next to the window for the night view to the golden gate after I asked for a favor. The food and services was wonderful. We had a walk derail evening and a place I will suggest to visit for a memorable evening.

This establishment lived up to it's reputation. The atmosphere to include the views of the bay were outstanding. Staff were very personable and efficient. The food was outstanding. We had two appetizers which consisted of sourdough blue cheese garlic bread and sourdough bread bowl with clam chowder, crab, and bacon. We also enjoyed the Cioppino. I also enjoyed the Fog Harbor Lager. I highly recommend this restaurant.
