Waterfront seafood spot with standout Dungeness crab and views; service at the door is inconsistent and prices trend high for execution.
Salito's Crab House & Prime Rib delivers solid neighborhood dining anchored by outstanding waterfront views and signature dishes like skillet Dungeness crab and clam chowder that justify its loyal following. However, quality varies noticeably across visits—overseasoning, overcooked proteins, and inconsistent service pacing at the host stand prevent it from reaching higher-tier status. Premium pricing paired with uneven execution keeps it competitive with respected local favorites rather than among the region's premier destinations.
One caveat: Host stand inconsistencies: long waits or seating rigidity even with reservations (recurring but not universal)
