Be Sure to Try: chicken salad was really good. Came served with enough sourdough bread to feed an army.
General tips:
If you want, you can ask for butter, at the counter for the sourdough. We ended up doing that, and ate sourdough with butter for an hour.... Bring your own water, drinks are expensive...
Extra comments: Lunch was great, however, the chineese place was closed, and that limited choices to the soup and salad, sandwich place or Mexican. Do check to see what is planned to be open, so you don't have your heart set on something, and then can't get it.

Be Sure to Try: The clam chowder & vegie chili was very good!!
General tips: We sat outside in shade & enjoyed the break from the hustle & bustle of the park. We were also serenaded by an all female mariachi band. Nice little bonus we enjoyed.
MouseforLess Tip: These servings are very big & for some people with smaller appetites, you could easily share a bowl of soup, taking full advantage of eating the entire sourdough soup bowl.
Extra comments: A must do when we return again!!

Okay for Children: "Yes": outdoor eating on the wharf
overlooking Paradise Pier. Great for the restless child to work off
some energy!
Okay for Couples: Yes, especially at night. Can be quiet and
quaint during "off" meal times.
Be Sure to Try: ANYTHING in the Boudin's bread bowl. Clam chowder and
Shrimp Louis are our favorites. End your meal with a tasty chocolate
macaroon!!
General tips: Line moves VERY fast, even when long. Worth the wait!
Plan to eat during parade time and sit next to the water. You get a
GREAT view of the Electrical parade.....very few people take
advantage of it!!
Dollarless tips: Great meal sizes. Bread bowl makes this an VERY
filling meal.
Extra Comments: One of our all-time favorite spots. We NEVER miss at
least 2 or 3 meals here on a weekend visit, as the value and food are
excellent. NOTE: There are discounts at this resuaurant so ASK! Also,
AP Dining pins are available with a $20 purchase for free BUT you
must ask for them.
