The Scene – The historic restaurant's ambience draws heavily on its Gold Rush roots, with glossy dark-wood paneling, bentwood chairs and enclosed booths, complete with a doorbell to ring the curmudgeonly waiters. An endless parade of solo diners perch on stools at the long counter. – – The Food – Tadich's traditional seafood may not be the best in town, but shrewd diners can get a satisfying meal. Colossal Pacific oysters' flabby flavor can be detected even when loaded up with the Rockefeller's Parmesan, spinach and butter. Instead, start with greaseless fried calamari…

One our best dinning experiences during our trip
by Jim3136 at Citysearch
During a recent vacation to San Francisco, my wife and I were advised to try a meal at the Tadich Grill by a bartender who we meet while staying in the area. We arrived around 7PM on a Wed night with no reservation so we took two seats at the counter. The food was great, the service was super, the bartender which we sat near was entertaining as well as precise. I've worked in the food and beverage business myself when I was younger and I understand the business. The prices were very reasonable in comparision to other establishments we visited during our weeks visit in the Bay Area. I'd go there several times a month if I lived in the area. We enjoyed the experience and would recommend the place to anyone that would like a great meal at a fair price that is off the tourist path so to speak.

What is the future for Tadich Grill?
by BWarfield at Citysearch
Our family has been eating at Tadich Grill for over 40 years. Even though we now are scattered across the US we have always enjoyed meeting at Tadich. I have taken business associates there for lunch and dinner and it has always lived up to expectations.
I had dinner there Saturday to celebrate 37 years of marriage. Having taken friends from out of town there 6 weeks ago I was unpleasantly surprised this time. I have enjoyed being waited on by men that I have seen working there for years. This time I did not see any familiar faces. The prices have gone up drastically for both the bar and food. We have always had a small dinner salad before dinner but not at $11.50. The price of a drink has almost doubled as well. We always used to look forward to just popping in at Tadich Grill as it was reasonably priced and friendly. Now we will have to think twice about going back. With the economy the way it is they have priced it out of our range.
Maybe they don't want locals but just want to become a tourist restaurant.

Tadich Grill disappointment
by bevrossg at Citysearch
We only had one night in San Fran and in the past this was our favorite restaurant.
We had oh, so slow service and mediocre food. Veggies were cooked long before they were served. Fish was fresh but just that with no sauce to accent it. A few french fries were on the plate.
I'll never go back and am disappointed that I wasted my one night on a failed experience.

Not worth the money!
by Elicalifornia at Citysearch
Arrived 4:30ish, Fri. Feb. 25th. Restaurant not busy. Four of us, sister/hubby were pciked up from Pier 35 cruise ship. They wanted to go to Tadich, as they remembered it to be great! We were misinformed about valet parking by adjacent businesses; starts about 5:45 PM. Had to wait till husband got back from parking car in a garage about 3 blocks away. Ordered cocktails and it took a very long time before they were delivered to our table. Food not great; vegetables overcooked. For the $19.00+ entree costs, food should have been fabulous and was not. Slow service. Tadich is no longer great....will not return.
