Angler

Angler is a seafood-focused restaurant in the Embarcadero with an emphasis on wood-fired fish dishes that vary depending on the daily catch. The grilled scallop is a particular highlight. Diners can opt for the tasting menu or dine à la carte at both lunch and dinner. For dessert, Angler’s signature is a soft-serve ice cream sundae, served with a decadent butterscotch caramel sauce poured tableside.

Unsurprisingly for the location, prices are on the high side, and portions tend to run on the small side, but the the dishes are high quality. The dining room is done in warm tones and woods, with glossy ceramic fish on the brick walls and a burning hearth. Window tables offer partial views of the bay. There is outdoor dining blocked off on the sidewalk.
