Very impressed how they ran their service! Raquel was one of the best servers I’ve had anywhere.
El jefe was very hospitable and diligent! Tight space but could fit a lot of people! The food was quick, authentic, and huge portions!They are diligent to get people in and out to keep the tables full! Outside service as well so the kitchen keeps food for two mini restaurants.

We're delighted to hear about your great experience at our restaurant, Jacki! Raquel will be pleased to know of her good impression.
We're happy you valued our efforts and enjoyed our food.
We look forward to serving you again soon. Sabella & La Torre

Had a great lunch here while visiting the wharf.
We sat at the bar and had a nice conversation with the bartender (John) who is also the owner of this Fourth generation family restaurant.
He explained how they partner with local fisherman and bakers, keeping everything local.
Refreshing conversation with a committed small business owner.
The food was great, we had fresh crab cakes and the fish and chips, both delicious! Please support this local treasure.

Owner response

Dan, we're thrilled you enjoyed both your lunch and our commitment to local sourcing.
We're pleased that our conversation and fresh crab cakes, as well as fish and chips, were to your liking.
Can't wait to have you back soon. Sabella & La Torre

I wanted to like this place, after all, it is right within Pier 39 under the iconic strip of stalls.
This restaurant had the most folks dining (80% full) on a Monday lunch hour.
The prices here are exactly the same for each restaurant or stall, this is the perfect competition illustrated IRL. The clam chowder was served hot, filled to the rim.
Plenty of clams, plenty of cream - But there wasn’t a “wow”.
I had the cold crab, I feel like that is something that has to be done right in a restaurant like this.
I have had many crabs served in every way possible in my lifetime.
This one I had at Sabella’s was a 5/10 at best.
The meat was soft and mushy at the body, which is indication that the crab was not fresh.
The flavor was also not impactful, no sweetness, not enough salt.
Seems like it was cooked and placed in a bed of ice for a while.
It was however cracked perfectly and required little additional work to get the flesh out. The service is wonderful and with a warm smile.
The atmosphere is part of the charm.

Thank you for your comprehensive feedback.
We're glad you appreciated our environment and services, as we aim for a pleasant dining atmosphere.
Unfortunately, it seems we missed the mark with our clam chowder and crab.
We hope to have another opportunity to exceed your expectations in the future. Sabella & La Torre
