Editorial Review for Franciscan Crab Restaurant – by Davina Baum
In Short
This two-level, seafood-centric eatery rises out of Fisherman's Wharf like a magnificent yacht, its broad windows perfectly positioned for optimal views of Alcatraz. Dark, sexy wood accents and Frank Sinatra's crooning set the mood, giving this place both tourist cred and old-time San Francisco flavor. Oysters and steaks are on the menu, but Dungeness crab, including crab cakes, crab chowder, crab enchiladas and whole roasted crab, is the star here.

I loooooved this place! We went without a reservation, yet we were seated at a great table with a great view, Alcatraz literally in front of us. The crew was very friendly, the service was quick. The wine was fine quality. The food was off the hook!!! I had the combo crabs, mussels and shrimps, my husband had some kind of fish stew.. Wow! And the cheesecake... Yummmm.. =) Great location for tourists like us, very convenient.. Jeeezz... I just cant seem to find one single negative thing about this place!

I made a group reservation at 7: 30pm. Our gruop got there aroun 7:40pm, and they didn't have any tables for us. They didn't even call us but they kept told us that they did. So we waited for 20 mins, we got our table, then a manager came over to me and ask me to see my phone! to check if I recieved their phone call!! (which I proved that I didn't receive any phone from them to cancel my reservation). The way he talked was rude and he didn't appolize to us. The food was good but with those attitudes especially from the manager, I would never go back there. Horrible horrible horrible..
Pros: Parking service
Cons: Service
