#9 is an old school Fisherman's Wharf restaurant. Honestly, most of the food at the wharf is pretty much the same. The prices are also similar. Great view. Authentic. Preferred by locals. Friendly.

Red's Java House
pier 30 The Embarcadero SGreat big burgers by the bay.
I vastly prefer the Bistro to the left as you enter the main door. The prices are better and it is also in the more original part of the building. The popovers are not to be missed-the view is superb.

The pin here is wrong! Drive North on Hyde St, then right down Lombard for "the Crookedest Street in the World'. ... this helps you avoid the long line that often forms West on Lombard Street.
