Review by Tania Fritsch

September 30, 2024

Dining at the Franciscan Crab Restaurant was an absolute delight! 🦀

The crispy calamari was perfectly fried, and my Sea Bass, drizzled in a soy-garlic sauce, was a flavor explosion!

The staff was attentive and the outdoor seating offered stunning views of the bay, making our meal even more special.

Although it gets touristy, it felt cozy and not overcrowded during our visit.

Don’t skip dessert - it's fantastic! Can't wait for my next trip to San Francisco to experience this gem again. 🌊✨
