Had heard tonnes about the Sea-food around Fisherman wharf and Pier 39, supposedly two most happening spots along side walk by the bay. Finally zeroed down on Crab House.
Had read missed reviews. But I was destined to have a treat to remember. Fortunately planned the visit on a Monday, when everybody was gearing up for long pending week at work. Visited Sea Lion spot, all were lazing around and growling. Then walked up the stairs.
As the smiling waitress paved way for me, I was seated, made to gear up for the feast with a basket of tongs and apron. Then they laid the standee on the table and I waited for my Killer Crab! Came buzzing in my ears the sizzle of a giant crab on an Iron skillet. It was reddish orange lying vibrant on a secret garlic sauce. I had also ordered a side of Garlic fries and Fish Bait Strawberry Mojito, but the Killer crab just stole the show. Started as sophisticated diners, but in no time was digging, tearing left right and center. The crab meat was as fresh as it could get and a whip of garlic sauce just did the magic. Could have easily sat for another round. There were plenty of other sea food options as well, but was governed by the mood of the day.
All in all I had a great experience, with the good food on top of the charts and then the friendly environment, a romantic couple fine dining, a bunch of office-goers gorging. Definitely a must-visit in SF, would recommend to plan it early weekdays. Go for the Killer Crab!
Taste buds yell: Want more
Pocket shouts: Not too easy, but need to do it once
When I look around: Being right at the pier makes all the difference, mediocre decor
Waiting time for tummy: Dare to head only on a weekday!
Keep Gorging!

We happen to meet a great people there and started to chat with them and drink w/them too. I had a great time at New York Event Venues, glad we found this place by accident. Will definitely come to this place again as anyone will make this a regular spot easily.
