Alioto's Permanently Closed - San Francisco

excellent service and eating was phenomenal! for a restaurant in a tourist area it was worth the price.

restaurant is a bit tired, had a very loud party to us. Do not understand why American restaurants don't give time between appetitüglers and entrée.

I had fried calamai. it was done. my wife had halibut, that was expensive, but dry, was dry and maybe had been in the freeze cabinet for a long time. the restaurant apologised and brought another piece of fish, but it was the same texture, somewhat tasteless and should not have been at this price.

classic san francisco. excellent service of employees who have been there for years. great view of the bay and the harbour. often rest densities on the points. I take customers to alioto’s all time.

enjoyed my food, waiter, and the ambiance of the restaurant.

Great food and outstanding service.

Count this as one of the finest dining experiences we have had. There were a few factors in our favour... it was off season so we had a great table with sea side views, a smaller crowd so our waiter was able to spend more time with us and ultimately the food stood out, as it would any time, as outstanding.

Crab cakes... best we’ve had anywhere. So much crab and well seasoned. Not cluttered with fillers like other restaurants. Glad their recipe has remained the same for decades. Calamari... Fried and Sicilian Style... nothing over the top. Just done well. Seafood Risotto... outstanding flavor. Fresh scallops and shrimp. Slightly over seasoned but flavorful nonetheless. Bouillabaisse... Nice healthy bits of fish, clams, calamari, and mussels. Broth tasted clean and simple with the essence of seafood. Wait staff was very attentive and cheery. Would recommend.
