Mmm, this salad was amazing! It wasn’t over dressed and the crabmeat was SO fresh and delicious! It was definitely worth the elevated price tag. Noms!

Anchor Oyster Bar, San Francisco CA
Anchor Oyster is such a great neighborhood seafood restaurant! The place is super small and they don’t take reservations so you just place your name of the list and wait for the next table. These oyster were expertly shucked, fresh and delicious!

Beautifully striped ravioli pasta filled with spinach, artichoke, and ricotta cheese. Topped with lump crab meat, smothered in a wonderful lemon butter sauce, and sprinkled with paprika.
Anchor Oyster Bar, San Francisco
I have to admit that I was a little surprised (and impressed) at this dish. I think of Anchor Oyster Bar as serving simple, delicious food – caring more about freshness and quality than presentation. So the spinach-striped pasta was a nice surpise. It was abolutely beautiful and had a wonderful sheen to it. The ravioli was cooked perfectly and the crab meat was SO delicious. This was another special item on their menu, but I would love to see this again!
Pan roasted 1/2 dungeness crab with sliced garlic, sprigs of thyme, parsley, lemon and LOTS of butter.
Anchor Oyster Bar, San Francisco
This was actually a special they had that night, and I was in absolute heaven! The crab was fresh and tasted amazing! I squeezed most of the lemon onto the dish and it added even more flavor and brightened up the garlicky butter sauce. It was no easy feat extracting all the flesh from the crab, but I did a pretty good job. I didn’t want any of that soft, tender crab meat to go to waste. As you will see, I don’t mind getting messy and eating with my hands – I am Filipino, lol! This dish was so comforting and I used the table sourdough bread to soak up all the butter sauce. Thank goodness I live in San Francisco. We get our fair share of amazing crab!

I didn’t like this white wine very much. I rated it 3.3/10 on the Wine Notes app on my phone. But dinner always tastes better with a glass of wine, mediocre or not…
A mouth watering cup of one of the best clam chowders in San Francisco! Cup $4.25
Anchor Oyster Bar, San Francisco
This creamy Boston clam chowder has such amazing flavor! It’s not too thick, nor is it too runny. What I love about this chowder is it’s simplicity – the ingredients are the stars. You can taste all the vegetables, the clams, and the cream. Anchor Oyster Bar has always served straightforward food made with amazing ingredients. And I think that’s the key to their success. It’s a small restaurant and there’s always a wait for their delicious seafood, but don’t get discouraged, the tables somehow turn quickly.
