Classic SF restaurant that is near the pier and has since been renovated. I like how they can hold a private large party and reservation in the corner of the restaurant. The layout is like a diner, but my family was able to have the babies run around the corner area. Casual dining with good eats! The skirt steak was seasoned well and they were accommodating with just veggies as choice of sides instead of fries! Beet sauce and asparagus was the substitute and it was great! Pork chop was grilled and cooked nicely as well! Brussels sprouts were crisp as appetizer, Caesar salad was dressed up swell and trfries were addictive! They gave little calamari and wings were on the dry side. Fresh oysters - can't complain on that part. Thin beignets were ordered for dessert. Nicely puffed and fresh and dough to my liking. The creamy espresso dip was more preferred than the chocolate. Service was attentive. Convenient and contemporary.read more

Went here a few years back for a birthday dinner, and I was very impressed with the high quality of food and service. Our waiter struck the perfect balance between affable and professional. Fog City has a great view of the Embarcadero and a cozy yet elegant ambience.read more

This place had a really fun vibe, and is a short distance from the tourist area, but set back from the road so it felt very quiet. I had the cheeseburger and it was one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten!read more

Fog City has a strong legacy in the SF area and did not disappoint. Although it can be busy, our waiter recommended the fish tacos which were outstanding. With the freshest of ingredients, the fish were seasoned with a delectable blend of spices and topped with a lime, cilantro, guacamole and sauce that had my tastebuds tingling. They have a nice selection of wine and microbrews to complement dining selections. Our wait staff and hostess were extremely polite, welcoming and professional and we had a terrific experienceread more

Fantastic food and staff. The terrible parking situation and awful acoustics are reason for 4 not 5 stars.

After a 20+ year period since my last visit, I stopped here to show my wife where I first dined in SF. I initially came because of the Visa commercial, which divulges my age range! On-street parking was easier than expected. The decor and menu have changed, but we still had a wonderful lunch. Both of us follow keto, so I got the open-faced tuna melt “sandwich” on top of lettuce leaves instead of sourdough. My wife got the salmon salad. Both were excellent. In fact, the tuna salad was the best I’ve had ... by far! No canned tuna was used! All-in-all ... a wonderful first stop in San Francisco. And not a homeless person in sight!read more

This place offers the best of drinks & food to go with it. Their wood fired pizzas are the best, we loved the Fennel Sausage one, clubbed with the White Russian drink! And the hospitality of the staff catches your eye.read more

The food that wasn't burnt tasted nice, but to be honest the pizza's shouldn't have been served in the condition they left the oven. $9 for fries?? I wouldn't waste your time. Overpriced and underwhelming. Edit 1. Waiter just came to clear our table of plates. Took our unfinished drinks too. What the hell is going on with this place. Edit 2. The price is not the price. In addition to taxes which is expected there's a 5% surcharge which is in tiny small print. Why is this not part of the damn price if they've bothered to add small printread more

The food are very good, and most of the drinks are great. I would come here at night for the vibe, the interior lighting and the layout are great during the night, it feels familiar friendly but also great for a date night. Very friend staff, good service and clean restroom.read more

Seen this place along the Embarcadero for years. It was used in the movie "So I Married an Axe Murderer". Finally tried it. Fantastic food! (Had the brisket and the pork chop). Very friendly server (thanks Brittney). Nice view of the bay. Nice atmosphere. Plan to come again. (Seven months later.) Back in the city for some fun. Had to come back to Fog City. Wasn't disappointed. Food still great. Even had Brittney serve us again, and she did a great job (thanks Brittney!) (Another three months) The pork chops are gone and so is Brittney. Bummer. But the baby back ribs were fantastic.read more

UPDATE: I heard it was renovated! I need to check it out soon. This is a memorable spot for a date for sure. Although, the decor inside this tin can doesn't scream sexy and intimate it is definitely a memorable spot for city goers or tourists just looking for something... different. The Jalapeño cornbread is pretty special. Not unique to SF menus but it's got great flavor and packs a little punch. Try it with the clam chowder and you'll be good to go for a starter. The food is simple but elegantly prepared and the service is upscale, so don't worry about it actually feeling like a diner. You'll be surprised by your experience once inside. This isn't a local SF hangout so if you don't mind a tourist or bridge & tunnel folk then grab a seat, but I recommend a reservation first.read more

The FOOD was really good. The place is in a great location and it's warm and inviting. Prices are NOT unreasonable and the menu has variety from crafted burgers to steak. Salads are amazing and appear to use local sources produce. This is a great place for working professionals, tourists, and families with children. I recommend for ambiance, location, service, food menu variety, price, and quality of FOOD.read more
