Hyde Street Seafood House and Raw Bar

Came here with my friend before our concert and we ordered the oyster sampler. It came with Times bay, Oyster Rock, and one other kind of oysters. They oysters were very fresh and a great price. Our bottle of wine was excellent and our entrees were excellent. He had the clam chowder and bowl of Cioppino. I had the King Salmon. I would order all that again. :)

Steamed mussel appetizer was good but entries were bland. I had the snapper in parchment no seasoning at all potatoes were not cooked enough. My wife had stuffed trout the stuffing was good bit fish was not seasoned. Overall very underwhelming.

Why it was bad:
First of all the food is bad and the pork chip I ordered was not cooked and the steak was chewy with a coal like taste on the outside also the oysters had this weird metal taste in it also when the brought Out the bread (it was also bad) they forgot to bring the butter so I told one of the waiters that I didn’t get any butter they first rolled their eyes then checked my table to see if their was butter than gave me butter after they served 2 other people
Second of all when I tried to tell one to the waiters that the pork chop was undertook they said wait I am busy and gave the other people their food and walked way the waiter didn’t even bother to ask us what the problem was
Third of all the food takes so long to make and it doesn’t taste good sooo there is no point of waiting for the food
Forth of all it wasn’t a really friendly atmosphere for me because the waiters seemed like they didn’t really care about what I had to say about the food being undercooked but they cared about the other people and gave them fast service and cared about what they had to say
Fifth of all I didn’t know where the bathroom was so I asked one of the staff people and they just completely ignored me so I had to find the bathroom myself
And that’s why it was bad

Love the atmosphere. Took wife there and wife was thoroughly impressed with setting, service, and of course the food. Lobster bisque is to die for. I recommend the scallop and halibut dish. Price of food is very good for this quality. Highly recommended and will definitely come back every time when visiting SF.

Love the food and decoration. Recommended by friend… came to try the lobster bisque. MUST HAVE The food there is great but the lobster bisque is a must have. Unlike most lobster bisque’s it actually has lobster chunks in it. Happy hour has $ 1 oysters that are two die for. ⁵⁄₅ stars and I will come back soon.

Yuk!!! The food I had was very dry and nasty and for 5 tiny shrimps the guy charged me $ 27.00. Spoke to Sophia and asked for Manager. She was more concerned to not help me. She was trying to be nosey. I only bought 5 little shrimps from the seafood house restaurant. This company charged me $ 27.00 for 5 dried shrimp. The shrimps were awful and the service was a zero. Sophia and the server guy was so rude to me. I will never go back to this establishment again.
They charged me too much for their food and the service was unbelievable. it was a horrible experience for me and I will never recommend my friends or family to come to this place.

The BF and I wanted to have a quiet dinner for our Friday Date Night and I wanted seafood and Unilocal threw this out there on my feed. It looked quite quaint and thought, hey, why not?
The atmosphere is very cozy and homey which is exactly what we both wanted. Our server came to us right away and was incredibly welcoming. We ordered a bottle of Syrah and it was very reasonably priced as was their seafood prices.
Lobster Bisque: MUST HAVE!!! This was amazing. Please, please, please come here to slurp this amazing soup.
Truffle Oil Seared Ahi App: It was just okay. However, it was a huge portion for the price; about 12 pieces for $ 13.
Sea Bass special: ZOMG… stop the boat. Huge portion again and very flavorful. Tony and I couldn’t stop making O faces. So good.
I really, really want to promote this restaurant: the service was beyond extraordinary, the décor is warm and inviting and the food is on point. I cannot wait to come back!

Neighborhoody feel, quiet place. We usually sit at the bar and get amazing service. Our go to are the oysters and clam chowder. You can’t go wrong.
The chardonnay is really good too.

From the salad to the fish to the stuffed shrimp, the food was decent – just not great. The service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere nice, but I just didn’t love the favors enough to compel me to go back.
The sourdough bread had a great crust and the lobster bisque was tasty. I just wanted more of something to beg me to return.
Maybe I had the wrong meals, but it just was an average experience for the price.

This place was fantastic. Great atmosphere, food was mouth watering good, service was very hospitable. I will be returning. Don’t pass this one up.

By far the worst restaurant experience I’ve had recently. Portions are small, quality is low, and that might have been passable had the service been excellent. Sadly, it was not. Dinner took well over an hour to arrive after we ordered with no concern from the wait staff. No offers to grab another round of drinks or another basket of bread.
If a restaurant has last minute seating available at 7:30 on a Saturday night, run, don’t walk, the other way. With so many options on Hyde st, or nearby on Polk, go elsewhere!

We liked every bit of it. oysters were good. clams good. lobster bisque we wanted to lick the bowl. Then we shared a nice Pepper Ahi.
Always looking for those steamed clams.

Unbelievably, I was the only patron in the restaurant (9 on a Thursday). A dozen oysters and a bowl of lobster bisque made a great dinner. A good mix of oysters – fresh, cleanly shucked, relish. The soup was rich, tasty, and exactly what I wanted.
Super friendly service. Has a great discussion on my way out about how hard it is for Vietnam-​born Cantonese speakers to pick up Mandarin. I could see this being a regular spot if I lived here.

Old-​timey and warm feel to this restaurant with extremely friendly staff — perfect for date night! It felt like you were dining on a ship in a different era. We came late on a weekend evening and there was no wait.
We missed the 5 – 7 pm happy hour unfortunately so oysters were the normal price of $ 13 for 6 (3 large, different varieties). They were soo fresh and delicious! Also got a caesar salad to start for $ 10 which tasted good but nothing special.
Ordered the local snapper baked in parchment paper ($ 17) with vegetables. Wow that dish was very flavorful and soaked in delicious sauce from the white wine, butter, and lemon. My boyfriend got the pan fried sole ($ 19) which was equally good and had similar lemony flavor. You can choose between roasted potatoes or rice for the side.
We were too full for dessert since the entrees were a pretty generous portion size for the price. Overall really liked this restaurant and definitely recommend it!

Really friendly, nice and helpful! Oysters were very fresh and tasty! Creamy yumm
4 of us got a bit over a dozen per person. And the we decide to share seafood combo and halibut. It was fresh and very light, not oily or fat at all
Crème brûlée to share was just a cherry on top of that amazing dinner!

This is a cute restaurant with an extremely friendly staff. I got the feeing that the owners are front of the house so they are incredibly accommodating.
We ordered the Kumamoto oysters, cioppino, lobster seafood ravioli, Dungeness crab with garlic butter. Dinner was very good and overall a wonderful evening.
The only disappointment was the banana bread pudding which was watery… peculiar. But the vanilla ice cream was fine.

We came here for happy hour $ 1 oysters and found big, fresh tasty oysters here! They gave us 3 varieties in the dozen and they were all very good. The service was very friendly as well. The bar we sat at was quiet and we were served promptly. I highly recommend this place and would return.

Great little spot tucked away on Hyde St (hence the name.) Went in for Happy Hour over the weekend with some friends and had a great time. We ordered quite a few dozens of their $ 15/​dozen oysters which included three different varieties that you got to choose from. (In this case all WA oysters, but not Kumamotos.) The oysters come with all the fixings, and were fresh and delicious. We also got $ 4 draft beers on the side (all of us went with Spaten), and were served some sour dough bread to go along with the meal.
The service was great, friendly and attentive, and I’ll definitely be back.
Also, weekend happy hours? Yes please.

San Francisco has me feelin some kinda way and I always seem to crave oysters when I’m in town. It could be the smell of the ocean in the air? IDK. I Unilocaled Oyster bar and Hyde Street Seafood House and Raw Bar felt like a good choice. The main draw for me was the Happy Hour Oysters priced at $ 15 for a dozen (5−7pm)! Anyone in the city who loves oysters knows that’s a damn good deal!
The hubs and I were staying at the Hilton in Union Square and decided to walk to dinner since it was a mile away. Not too sure that was a great idea. A mile anywhere else would have been easy peasy, but a mile in SF could be taking you up several inclines that will leave you breathless and a little sweaty. Down hill was by no means any easier. By the time we reached the restaurant we built up an appetite for dinner. This excursion was just supposed o be about appetizers and small plates, but what the hell… we made it there! We might as well enjoy ourselves. We of course took Lyft to get back.
What we ordered:
1. 2 Dozen Oysters: It was $ 15 and the when the waiter asked us if we wanted another dozen we were weak to his suggestion. Plus it was like 5 minutes to 7pm and we’ve already had some wine and between the ambiance of the space and the delicious first dozen it was hard to say no.
2. Escargot: I don’t think there is a restaurant in Sacramento (our home base) that offers escargot, and when we saw it on the menu we had to have it. Not often do we get that option at a restaurant. Plus, the hubs and I have had it before liked it and wanted to try it again. Pretty tasty! Texture was chewy and it was covered in butter and garlic.
3. Cioppino: SF is always cold and what better way to warm up then to have some cioppino. I loved how they didn’t skimp out on the good seafood. Large chunks of fish, several pieces of prawns, large scallop, and mussels made it heavy on the protein side. The warm tomato based sauce was flavorful and the noodles were a nice touch!
Great cozy/​intimate place for a quiet dinner with someone special. I think they have a large table for maybe one large party, but other than that, that’s all you get. Tables are close together that you can hear another person’s conversation, but you should mind your own business and focus on who you’re with and it’s not a problem.
I had a great time! We’d definitely be back. If anything, at least for the happy hour oysters!

Came here solely for the happy hour oysters! $ 15 for a dozen is such a steal for the city! Kumamotos not included :(The oysters were very fresh and decent sized. Happy hour is 5pm-​7pm everyday and there is typically no line on the weekdays! Aside from the wonderful oysters, the service was tentative and the ambiance was nice. The Cioppino was also good but the portion was pretty small for the price. I think I will stick to just the oysters and beer ($ 4 during HH) next time.
P. S. I would not recommend driving here. Nob Hill parking is near impossible.

Das Seafood House in San Franciscos Stadtteil Nob Hill erreichten wir von der zentralen Market Street mit einem der historischen Cable Cars, die über diesen Hügel fahren. Die Cable Cars sind von den Touristen sehr begehrt und tagsüber steht man länger Schlange. Am Abend mussten wir nur 2 Touren am Wendeplatz der Market Street warten, etwa 20 Minuten. Die Fahrt war ein einziger Spass mit Touristen hängend am Car und den gut aufgelegten amerikanischen Fahrern.
Das Ambiente im Seafood House ist überaus gemütlich mit maritimem Dekor an den Wänden. Der Service ist wie in amerikanischen Restaurants üblich aufmerksam und zuvorkommend.
Die Spezialität des Restaurants ist das Zubereiten der Speisen En Papillotte, d.h. das Garen in Pergamentpapier! Meist handelt es sich um Fisch oder Meeresfrüchte, die mit sehr fein geschnittenem Gemüse, frischen Kräutern und Weißwein im Ofen gebacken werden. Dabei bleiben die Aromen der Speisen erhalten und überraschen in der Kombination durch sensationelle Gaumenkitzeleien. Eine Zubereitungsart, die uns sehr begeisterte.
Wir hatten als Vorspeise diverse Austern verschiedener amerikanischer Herkunft, deren spezieller Charakter gerne erklärt wurde. Als Hauptgang gab es von der Tageskarte medium-​rare gegrillten Thunfisch (perfekt) und eben en papillotte den Fang des Tages. En papillotte ist auf jeden Fall einen Versuch wert, denn die Aromen der Gemüse und Kräuter, kombiniert mit Fisch, kamen unnachahmlich zur Geltung.

Man meint ja immer, die Amerikaner hätten keine Esskultur. OK. Auf «die Amerikaner» mag das vielleicht zutreffen, aber es gibt auch nocht eine unverzagte (?) Minderheit in diesem Land (geographisch konzentriert auf einen kleinen Streifen an den beiden Küsten…) die es einem als Genussmenschen möglich macht hier zu überleben.
Das Seafood House gehört ganz klar in die Kategorie «Überlebenshilfe». Ein köstlicher, unwahrscheinlich frischer Krabbencocktail, Linguine mit Shrimps, eine Crème brulée und ein nicht zu verachtender Kalifornischer Weißwein haben einen Tag in dieser phantastischen Stadt zu einem würdigen Abschluss gebracht. Preislich für amerikanische Verhältnisse vollkommen angemessen, unaufdringliche aber sehr aufmerksame Bedienung. Bei meinem nächsten Besuch in der Stadt werde ich wieder hier einkehren.
PS: Ich habe noch nicht herausbekommen, wie man Qype erklärt, dass es sich um einen außereuropäischen Ort handelt. Daher die doofe Notlösung mit Berlin…
