Editorial Review for Yabbies Coastal Kitchen – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
The glass-tiled interior houses a beer and wine bar, a 50-seat dining room that's packed most nights and a striking oyster bar. Banquettes line the walls of the small dining room, and diners--typically an urban mix of families and young couples--lounge against kilim-woven pillows.
The Food
The sophisticated seafood menu borrows elements from a variety of cuisines. Thai snapper served with tiny Manila clams plays on subtle shifts in sweet and savory, while grilled swordfish is flavored with Sicilian capers and green olives. Other menu items include pasta, beef fillet and grilled chicken, but all play second fiddle to the first-rate fish preparations. The raw bar is a destination in its own right, stocked with a wide selection of oysters, littleneck clams and other seafood. Desserts center on classic favorites like bananas Foster and a supreme chocolate sundae.

I have been dining at Yabbie's since 2000 and I have never been disappointed! Having spent this entire week entertaining customers at some of San Francisco more popular spots, Yabbie's provided a welcome and delicous relief. We were seated promptly and made to feel right at home! Our host for the evening, Charlie, was personable and warm, she made us feel like we were sitting down on her back patio enjoying an a nice lesiure evening with great food and friends! The Chef and her kitchen delivered some well prepared innovative dishes that had everyone at the table asking me, how did you ever find this place?One of my goals when traveling is to find those special spots that deliver the kind of comfort food that makes you feel like you have discovered something special, Yabbie's is that place! My recommendation is to visit now and vist often! Cheers!
Pros: Great Chef, outstanding cuisine. Service is stellar. No tourist!
Cons: I live in Atlanta and can't dine here every week :-)

TERRIBLE SERVICE! Can't really be a judge of the food in that restaurant b/c we never had a chance to be seated. The reservation was made for 8PM on Saturday night through the "Open Table". We arrived a little earlier (5 min) and were welcomed by a hostess who looked at us like a deer in headlights as if she did not expect us to show up at all. She said that we would have to wait until the tables become available. Fifteen (15) minutes later, while we were sitting and hoping for oysters and bacon-wrapped trout, the group of 3 people showed up and was immediately seated. On my question as to why the hostess did not give us that table, she said that she had a table for 3. Now....the table for three was basically a table for 2 with one additional chair as it was touching a wall with one of its sides. She added (again with the same fake apologetic expression) that tables for 2 are getting ready and it is going to be another 10-15 min. After that we simply left because there is no food in the world that will allow you to take this completely disrespectful and unacceptable attitude. Very frustrating, stay away! Either the "deer-like hostess" has to be replaced by someone competent or management has to take reservations ONLY when the customer can be seated properly.
Pros: Seafood menu that looked intresting though we never hada chance to experience it
Cons: Management, service: unacceptable and disrespectful.
