Second time we’ve visited Swan and it was as wonderful as our first visit 8 years ago. We arrived early (10:30am) and there was no wait. By the time we left an hour later there was a line. They’ve got great oysters, their mixed seafood salad with Louis dressing was delicious, but the best thing about Swan is the people working there— super friendly and attentive.

A really great place! I went there at 10.30am on a Thursday and got a spot right away at the counter (at 11am there was a queue in front of the restaurant). The team was really really nice! Like all the waiters did great recommandations and were super caring (I left my bag to go to the restrooms and they directly put it in the waiters section to make sure it was safe). I took the smoked salmon and that was definitely the highlight of my meal! It was tasty and highly recommend it. I also took the kind of sashimi mix (multiple fish in one plate) and if I came again I would only take the scallops, as for me they were really delicious and above any other fish sashimi in this dish. The bread + butter were good!

My favorite restaurant in SF. This iconic place is stunning. All their food is fresh and of great quality. The staff is super friendly and they take their time with each customer. You can't leave San Francisco without going to this place. A tip, you have to go early because there is always a line and the restaurant is very small

Unbelievably fresh and amazing fish! We got there really early (right after opening) and got seated right away. It’s counter seating and cash only with a great old school vibe. The staff were really friendly and it was fun to see them prep the fish and interact as we were eating. We got oysters, a sashimi platter, and a cup of clam chowder and would absolutely come back again!

We were served by Santiago -- the best! Made us two out-of-towners feel like VIP guests. So happy to have had this experience. We went around 11am on a Monday morning and we were lucky, we hardly had any wait time before we scored a couple of seats in the centre of the counter. Two cold steam ales, a mixed platter of clams and oysters, Sicilian sashimi (great way of looking at a bunch of different fresh fish), prawn cocktail, and scallops in ponzu. Everything was fresh and super delicious. The guys were happy to chat about their favourite dishes and give info on the different fish and oysters. This time we missed out on the crab back because they're out of season but we'll definitely be back to try them. Thanks to the team for providing one of the best dining experiences I've ever had 🙏

Great restaurant to eat at when in San Francisco, only hold about 17 tables first come first serve. The wait was about an hour but it was worth it. Everything was super fresh and delicious, from the clam chowder, to the crab salad, to the sushi, yummy! The staff are very friendly and hospitable. I would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting San Francisco.
