What to expect

Having lived in San Franciso for several years, I’ve never thought about this place. It was on one of Anthony Bourdain’s shows and since a friend was visiting from LA, we decided to check this place out. It’s a small place (a bar with about 20 stools) so expect to wait in line (hour+).

Clam Chowder

The clam chowder wasn’t what I’m used to. It had the clam flavor but it was a bit watery.

Shrimp Cocktail

lots baby shrimp and cocktail sauce

Oysters

mixed dozen oysters

Combination Sashimi Sicilian Style

salmon, tuna, capers, olive oil, red onion, black pepper
