Anchor Oyster Bar, San Francisco

Situated in the heart of the Castro in San Francisco on Castro Street, Anchor Oyster Bar serves fresh, delicious seafood that is sure to please the palate! The menu is very simple and straightforward, and offers items from shellfish to oyster cocktails, fresh fish, chowders and San Francisco's famed Cioppino...and let's not forget the delicious garlic bread for dipping. A blackboard surrounded by fishing paraphernalia hangs over the bar and lists the daily specials, which include several main courses, chowders and seafood pasta. Anchor is small and there's always a wait. This little neighborhood gem seats about 8 at the bar, and 5 tables, each seating about 4 people. The food is so amazing though, and well worth the wait.

The chef (yes, 1 chef and 1 assistant!) is AMAZING! Cooks in a tiny kitchen that is open to the dining area. It's rather mesmerizing to watch such delicious masterpieces get cooked and plated right before your eyes!
