"There’s no shortage of excellent seafood in this city by the bay, but it’s a true rite of passage to slurp briny bivalves at the Hog Island outpost inside the historic Ferry Building. Plan ahead as the line can stretch for an hour or more during peak times, but if you arrive early (the restaurant opens at 11 a.m. daily) you can look forward to platters of fresh oysters served over ice after being pulled from waters up and down the West Coast. Supplement the feast with fried local anchovies, elegant crudo, or a remarkably good grilled cheese sandwich made with three varieties of melted cheese. With a glass of bubbles in hand and views of the bridge outside, it’s a meal to remember, whether you’re a local or just in town for a weekend. "

"Ambiance: Casual, fun, and on the waterfront of the ferry building
My Recommendation: Raw and grilled oysters, clam chowder paired with the grilled cheese
Tip: Come early or be prepared to wait in a long queue-there is a Blue bottle nearby and if you are there on a Saturday check out the farmer's market "
