Gift Tips
- Use a gift card to secure a sunny table on the bayside deck — it's the spot for views of the Embarcadero and Coit Tower.
- Order the fish and chips for a reliably generous, shareable entree with a crispy batter that's frequently praised.
- Try the fish tacos or vegan cauliflower tacos for flavorful, well-balanced options that pair nicely with local beers.
- Save room for dessert — the butter cake with ice cream and pistachios is a standout finish.
- Ask for outdoor seating and a straw hat if it's sunny; the heated covered patio makes waterfront dining comfortable even on cooler days.

Pier 23 Cafe Restaurant & Bar sits on the Embarcadero in San Francisco, between Fisherman's Wharf and the Ferry Building. The family-owned spot has been serving locals and visitors for more than 30 years from its historic wharf location, offering casual waterfront dining and views of the Bay and Coit Tower.
- Ambiance: casual waterfront restaurant with outdoor bayside deck and a lively beer garden.
- Cuisine: New American and seafood-focused menu featuring local ingredients and classic dishes like fish and chips, clam chowder, and fish tacos.
- Highlights: live music, panoramic Embarcadero and Bay views, and family ownership with over 30 years of local presence.
The menu leans on fresh, local seafood and straightforward New American plates that suit a relaxed meal by the water. Guests can choose covered, heated outdoor seating that stretches to the pier’s edge or a cozier spot in the small indoor dining room and bar. Service tends to be friendly and brisk, making it a good stop for brunch, lunch, or an easy dinner after a walk along the Embarcadero. Pier 23 also features live music and a beer garden atmosphere, adding a lively backdrop to meals without losing the approachable, down-to-earth vibe that keeps locals coming back.
