Wow this po’ boy was delicious! When it arrived, I thought that it was pretty tiny for the price, but it actually was the perfect size for a filling lunch. I loved the cornmeal crust on the oysters although I wished they would have been slightly less hard. I wasn’t impressed with the soggy potato chips though. They were pretty lame.

Mmm, this was pretty delicious! The chowder was rich and flavorful, but it wasn’t thick. All the ingredients were quality and cooked perfectly. The chowder tasted great and just made you feel good eating it. Noms!

Hmm, I thought that I would like these grilled oysters better than raw ones but I think my tastes have changed. I used to love grilled oysters, and these were plenty tasty, but now I prefer the freshness of the raw variety.

Gloria Ferrer sparkling wine Hog Island Oyster Bar

I love weekend brunch at the San Francisco Ferry Building. I know that it’s super touristy but there’s a lot of great food there too. You just have to ignore the crowds and enjoy the food. On a bright, sunny day it’s hard not to enjoy yourself.

Had a light brunch here with Silverfox. We really only had this sparkling wine, bread and oysters but that seemed to satisfy us! I’ve always liked Gloria Ferrer sparkling wine. I’ve been to their Napa winery a couple times and it’s absolutely beautiful. Their sparkling wines are reasonable priced and are delicious!

Of the two types of oyster we ordered, I like these better! These oysters had a great flavor and they were nice and small just the way I like ’em. These were perfect and I’d order them again in a heartbeat!

These small oysters are surprisingly meaty! I’m slowly becoming more of an oyster fan and these were pretty good. I definitely liked the Chelsea Gems better though!
