The Cliff House Description:
The landmark Cliff House features San Francisco's only oceanfront restaurants, the upscale Sutro's and the more relaxed Bistro, which serves Cliff House classics. Along with astounding views and a spiffy interior, the Bistro has one of the best clam chowders in town, a creamy but not-too-thick soup chock-full of tender clams accented with bits of potato and celery with just a hint of tarragon. Other favorites include the Crab Louis with seasonal fruit and the Ben Butler, grilled Dungeness crab on sourdough topped with warm, gooey cheddar. For a red meat fix, try the scrumptious half-pound cheeseburger on a soft grilled onion roll. Don't miss the fish 'n' chips, fresh local cod dipped in a proper beer batter and lightly fried until golden brown. A pile of piping hot thick-cut french fries and tangy malt vinegar are the perfect companions for the delicate, flaky nuggets of fish. Those with heartier appetites can dive into the messy but wonderful cioppino, traditional fish stew made with crab, clams and mussels in a rich, garlicky tomato broth. If you're in the mood for breakfast, order the eggs San Francisco, two eggs with Dungeness crab meat, toasted sourdough bread and brandy cream sauce.
