I personally make it a point not to go to franchise restaurants when going out for a "nice" meal.

While places like Joe's Crab Shack and Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. may have a decent menu (@ corporate pricing), the real food and flavor comes from the one-of-a-kind eateries.

That being said.....Allioto's on the warf is excellent. Great second story view, and even better food. Not cheap, but hey...this is a nice nite out.

If ya wanna go cheaper, I like walking along the warf and eating off the various carts. Yum. Got clams on the half shell, anyone? Crabcakes?


.....3+ years in Pleasant Hill / Walnut Creek. Bay Area was great!

 

Scomas or Tadish

 

Scoma's is good.
It's hard to get a table on weekends with a large group.
2+ hour waits on Fridays if your group is 8+ ppl

It's Koi Palace.
BTW, you can call up ahead for a number instead of getting a number there.

I also like Koi if Chinese is what you want. I just started going back to Scott's at Jack London Square. Equally good!

 

That's right Koi...not coy...
