"If you want a break from the hustle and bustle of the Ferry Building, head north and Pier 23 Cafe’s lowkey vibes by the water may be the salve you’re seeking. The menu is classic waterside fare, with seafood infiltrating dishes like the shrimp Louie salad and fried fish tacos. Most items are solid here, such as the shrimp melt sandwich or the cheeseburger with two smash patties, and specials are where the menu gets trendy, so it’s worth a listen. Head to the back patio, get one of the classic cocktails or a beer, stare out at the water, and you have the makings of a pretty great San Francisco moment." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
