We got there early and there was still a line forming. The atmosphere is busy like you're in a movie and I like that. Even with a busy service we were promptly attended to throughout our experience. As mentioned before, their playlist is amazing! To eat, we had had a few things! 1. Clam chowder: delicious and hearty with a handful of shelled mussels, potatoes, and bread (for an extra fee). 2. Grilled Oysters: the bourbon is their most popular flavor and we saw why! It was so good. The other flavors were great too. 3. Shrimp Poeboy: It doesn't come on a traditional French bread. It's more like a burger bun? It was good but I wouldn't order it again. Overall, would I come back? For sure! Would I recommend it to a friend? Definitely

So when…read morewe find a place that not only accommodates us but does so with patience and kindness, it keeps us coming back. That's exactly why we return to Pier Market. They were able to tuck us into a corner on the patio with our dog stroller, which helped minimize potential chaos. And then came our server, Camille -- truly a blessing. Our dog has a thing about dark uniforms (don't ask), and Camille handled it with so much patience, understanding, and warmth. She checked in thoughtfully, kept our iced teas refilled without us asking, and never once made us feel like we were a hassle. Now, let's talk food. We came on a holiday weekend, so the pier was buzzing -- and Pier Market was no exception. They offer a wide range of seafood favorites, from clam chowder to garlic roasted Dungeness crab, oysters, and lobster tails. We started with a bowl of clam chowder, which is always a go-to here. It's rich, flavorful, and loaded with actual clams -- not a potato-heavy imposter pretending to be chowder. For our mains, we went with a surf and turf: New York steak (medium rare) -- cooked perfectly, though a bit leaner than our usual ribeye preference, but still solid. Lobster tail -- tender, sweet, and cooked just right. No rubbery texture here. Garlic roasted Dungeness crab -- just as well executed, flavorful, and satisfying. Overall, we were completely happy with our experience. Great food, accommodating seating, and standout service. Huge thank you to Camille and the team for being so patient with our barky little situation while still delivering excellent service all around.

5 star experience without any doubt…read more It started with Eros Ramazzotti music as I walked in. I thought - the music is definitely authentic Italian. I saw a "pasta lab" sign and thought - that may or may not be authentic, never heard of that before. When my fettuccini pasta arrived I thought - it definitely looks authentic - heathy yellow pasta color. The first bite was an official confirmation that their pasta is freshly made, the sauce was amazing and the Parmesan was top-notch. This restaurant does not try to cut corners on lower quality inexpensive ingredients. This was one of the best fettuccini plates I had in SF. The only regret? I ate too quickly because I was on a rush. I wish I had more time to savor the flavors. Highly recommended and I will be running (not walking) back.

$25 lasagna. Having never been there before, I went with the signature house dish. Thinking I was…read moregoing all-in is also part of why I'll probably shy away from returning. When the dish landed, I was initially impressed. But after the first bite, it felt a bit like the Wizard of Oz: impressive presentation hiding something less substantial underneath. Their lasagna is a sort of deconstructionist take on the classic dish. The noodles are cooked and layered almost naked between barely any pockets of filling. There were a few tidbits of meat, maybe sauce and no cheese within the layers themselves. The noodles are then baked, cut, plated, and topped with what I'd guess was about a 6 oz ladle of their bolognese, finished with finely pre-grated parmesan. The first bite was overwhelmingly pasta-forward. It took me a moment to understand how the dish had been assembled against my expectations. Once I cut into it and spread everything out, it became clear this wasn't the kind of lasagna I think of when ordering lasagna. It didn't check the familiar boxes - a rich ragù, maybe a creamy béchamel, or the sharp, salty depth of cheeses layered throughout. The dish lacked the complexity and savory comfort I was craving and expecting. Another miss was the homemade flatbread (which I went back and paid cash for, so it wasn't included in the total). Traditional Italian flatbread is a yeast-free bread made with flour, olive oil or lard, salt, and water or milk, then rolled thin and cooked until crisp yet chewy. This version tasted like flour, lard, and water. It wasn't crisp or chewy. As soon as I started chewing, it turned into an unappetizing doughy mass in my mouth. After the first quarter-piece, I didn't eat anymore. As for everything else, I arrived around 7:15 on a Saturday night, and the inside was packed with a small line to the door. The outdoor tables weren't full, but it was summer in San Francisco, more people were jockeying for seats inside than out. But I wasn't too concerned and I got there around 7, so all that is on me. There were a few specials written on a chalkboard, and the cashier was awesome while explaining those. They were incredibly patient. I apologized for holding up the line, and in a very Italian way, they assured me it was my right to make sure I ordered exactly what I wanted. That interaction honestly stood out as one of the better parts of the experience. I grabbed a table just as one opened up, helped myself to water a few times from the station, and my food arrived in about 20 minutes which wasn't bad considering how busy they were. There's been a bit of internal conflict with this review. I usually don't like judging a restaurant based on a single dish, especially a restaurant with so many positive reviews. But I also don't spend as much time in that part of the city anymore, and there are simply too many other places I still want to try. Unfortunately, while there was some good-looking food on other tables, if a restaurant's claim of lasagna as its signature dish doesn't hold up, the first visit just didn't do enough to pull me back for a second chance.
