The Anchovy BarA

1740 O'Farrell St, San Francisco, CA 94115 · Californian restaurant · San Francisco

Inventive seafood spot with outstanding anchovy-focused dishes, lively energy, and strong service; creative menu shines, but portions are small and prices are high.

The verdict

The Anchovy Bar exemplifies grade A standards through exceptional food quality anchored by its signature anchovy toast and inventive small plates that showcase careful technique and ingredient mastery. Strong service knowledge and attentive hospitality elevate the experience, while demonstrated customer loyalty and destination appeal confirm its standing as a celebrated neighborhood gem. Minor constraints from tight seating and premium pricing don't diminish its position among the region's finest seafood-focused dining establishments.

One caveat: Small plates mean higher spend to feel full; some leave hungry
