Hyde Street Seafood House And Raw Bar

When I’m in SFO, I like to go here. It is such a special place. The waitress is lovely, patrons are known by name, there is a nice couple next table to chat with (you probably meet them later at the Opera), the cable cars are rattling by (try to get a table at the large bay window), prices are reasonable (for SFO), the whole place is a bit lost in time (Christmas songs playing in June) and you can just get lost in time in it too. Unfortunately, the food is mediocre. Go there at 5pm, have the happy hour oysters, they really are good, and the sauvignon blanc from Chile and just enjoy yourself

Kind of pricey & doesn't seem like it would have such amazing food but, I had the oysters, Clam chowder, crusted prawns & the mahi mahi. Everything was caught day of which was super nice. The oysters were very good. The clam chowder was beautiful; the consistency was perfect & the flavor was so good. The mahi mahi was cooked to perfection & had the most exquisite flavor. Adding the fresh squeezed lemon on top makes this dish one of the most delicious food I have ever had. & last but in no way least... The crusted prawns we're beautiful as well & so full of flavor. Highly recommend this place for off the beaten path good eats. Even with them being short handed they rocked it.

The food was excellent. All of it. I even had the banana bread pudding and usually I don’t eat dessert but I could eat that pudding forever. The chef knew what he was doing. The only drawback was that it took quite a while to get our food and we only had three dishes and there were only three other customers at the time. Also the server was the kindest and helpful too!
