I've come here with my family many times. Food is solid, nothing amazing, but everything is good. Service is usually attentive and professional, but depends on your server. Great view and ambience. Highly recommended for people visiting San Francisco and wanting to enjoy some good seafood by the bay.

We had a wonderful experience celebrating a special dinner at the Dolphin Room at McCormick & Kuleto’s in San Francisco on April 25, 2025. The view was absolutely incredible! The room was nice and clean. The service was attentive and friendly, and the food was very good. Unfortunately, we do not remember the names of the staff members who helped us that evening, April 25, but we are grateful for their excellent service and warm hospitality. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a special occasion with great service, food, and unforgettable views.

Amazing dining experience. Steaks were perfect. Views of the bay were amazing. I loved the calamari because it was hot and crispy. Service was fast and friendly. Love to go back. No fountain drinks, but they had sparkling water and clean bathrooms. I got it with Dungeness crab on top and it really was worth it. It had a lot of crab.

Scallops amazing but small portion, sea bass was tasty and good portion, lobster bisque was good and so was the crab and artichoke dip. Brussels were great! Alcohol pours are a dram for sure and not worth it unless you get a bottle of wine. Great views of the water

Staff were friendly and attentive. The ambience was great. The food was amazing! My husband didn't like their mashed potato though. We booked a reservation online and they gave our requested seats by the window. My water glass had something on it so they immediately replaced it.

Came here for our birthday dinner. Delicious food and excellent service! We got the calamari and filet. The lobster tail so massive and so delicious!! Our waitress also presented a piece of cheesecake with candle for our birthday! All around great service and food! Must try if you’re in the area and looking for an upscale restaurant!

McCormick & Kuleto’s is a classic San Francisco seafood and steakhouse located right on the waterfront, offering stunning views of the bay. The restaurant delivers a solid dining experience, with a diverse menu that features fresh seafood like clam chowder, crab, and shrimp, alongside perfectly cooked steaks and other hearty options. The ambiance is upscale yet comfortable, with large windows that allow diners to enjoy breathtaking views of the water and the Golden Gate Bridge. The service is generally attentive, and the staff is knowledgeable about the menu, offering helpful recommendations. While it’s not the most innovative dining spot, McCormick & Kuleto’s provides consistently good food in a beautiful location. It’s a great choice for anyone looking for classic seafood and steak dishes with a view, especially for special occasions or a casual dinner out.

Gorgeous views, decent food. TL:DR The beautiful views are the best reason to visit this establishment. Definitely not an economical meal - and honestly the food was not as good as the price would indicate. Still worth a visit, but perhaps not more than one. Details: We ended up here on a weeknight during a work conference. The hostess was pleasant and accommodating, and even without reservations we were able to get a table for six with a window view. Our server was pleasant, but the service was very slow the entire night. My friend waited more than 10 minutes for a drink refill twice, and when we asked about splitting the checks, we were told it would be another 20 minutes if we wanted it that way. The food was good, but I couldn't classify any of it as unforgettable. I do recommend the salmon steak, and one of our table said the prawns were very good. Overall, it was worth the visit for the view alone, but if you are looking to spend $40-$50 a person, I would lean towards another establishment.

I should’ve done some research before coming here so I give them the benefit of the doubt. My group ended the day at Ghirardelli square after walking around the city for hours and we were all craving clam chowder in a bread bowl. We were too tired to walk anywhere else so we decided to just try it here, despite it being more expensive than the ones at the pier. We weren’t dressed very formally but we weren’t dressed poorly either but it still felt like somewhere we weren’t supposed to be. We were really disappointed when they told us the bread bowls were only for lunch time, along with a few other items that were only displayed on the menu outside. We knew it was a mistake to only come here for soup because of the slight pressure we felt to order more from our server, I understand why but, it made us a bit uncomfortable after we already declined. They were still very friendly and not rude at all, we could just tell it felt like we were wasting their time and seemed disappointed. The soup was still delicious, the clams were perfectly cooked. We ended up trying some oysters that were also great, they came with a flavored ice which was really unique. The room was nice and cozy with a decent view but this isn’t the spot I would recommend to just anybody. Also the music did not fit the fancy atmosphere at all.

McCormick & Kuleto's Seafood & Steaks, located in Ghirardelli Square, offers a great Happy Hour in the Fisherman’s Wharf area. The restaurant has stunning views of San Francisco Bay, making it a wonderful dining place. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a well-designed bar where you can relax. The friendly bartenders enhance the experience. Happy Hour is from Monday to Friday, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and it is perfect for winding down after work. The Happy Hour menu features tasty options like the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl, which is full of fresh flavors, and Kuleto’s Cheeseburger, which is always juicy and satisfying. You should also try the Calamari "Fritto Misto" or the rich Black Truffle Fries as great snacks with your drinks. If you look at the regular menu, don’t miss the Anchor Steam Fish & Chips. It’s well-made and goes well with many drinks, making it a good choice for seafood lovers. When my friends and I visit, we start with a round of draft beer, usually enjoying the refreshing Fort Point KSA Kolsch Style Ale. We always order a big plate of crispy fries that are hard to resist. Depending on the night, we might stick with the Happy Hour menu or switch to the regular menu for a bigger meal. The beautiful views of the San Francisco Bay always impress us, and someone in our group usually comments on how lovely it is. In short, McCormick & Kuleto's Seafood & Steaks is not just a restaurant; it’s a place where you can enjoy delicious food and excellent service, all while taking in the fantastic views of one of the most beautiful cities. Whether you want a casual drink after work or a memorable meal, put this place on your list!

Celiacs beware: yummy but gut wrenching food. I could not get a straight story from the waitress or the chef. Illness was Swift and furious. Be very careful and insist that they separate, especially that they don't cook anything in the fryer. They seem A couple steps above clueless. It's a pity because the food was tasty. The service was okay. Maybe not as informed as it could have been but, friendly and helpful and good-natured. The views are spectacular and a cloudy Sunset always makes for views that look like something painted by a Dutch Master. Restroom had no toilet paper or paper towels and I had to leave a 90 something-year-old standing waiting while I ran to the bartender who couldn't care less and deflected me to the front desk which was down a level. I had to call down to her and ask her to please come up. The hostess was very kind and came running to try and find some paper products. At a place with these prices that should never be. They need to be more on top of their game. They were warm and friendly and welcoming, which we really appreciate it. But if you're going to invite someone over, you need to have the place ready. People with allergies need to be extremely careful. To pay all that money and to lose the meal right after is a complete waste. It is sad. They need to do a better job with kitchen staff. Education from the top down. Servers need far far better info about the allergy and that even when Foods just touch a person can get ill. Other five star restaurants, even four stars that are careful we have no problem with. It's just a matter of them being more aware and intentional. Parking was easy underneath.. this is a very difficult place for the elderly as it's multi-level and set on a steep hill. The nice solution is parking in the lot and taking the elevator to the front door of the restaurant. They do have a handicap half elevator inside the restaurant to make up for the distance between levels. It was a fun experience and very tasty. We wish the wait staff had been more honest about how big heavy and filling the desserts were because we ended up wishing we had split. So if you've had a full meal, just split something. The restaurant has two really nice private rooms which are great for board meetings, family anniversaries and birthdays, etc. The one on the lower level is brighter and cheerier with a view. Except for getting so ill on the food. I was wishing for a big family party to fill that beautiful room.

Overall, I would say we had a pretty nice time. Our server just seemed less than thrilled to help us and was not that helpful on recommendations. Three out of the four dishes we ordered were very good. The view is spectacular, definitely worth going, maybe go for an appetizer or late dessert if you want to save a little money and see the view…

While the food here was delicious and usually is. The service is not what it was. Our server was wonderful, she did everything right. Of the 4 high-end restaurants we visited this trip, McCormick’s was the only one who refused to acknowledge we had checked in ahead of our reservation and were sitting in their bar. We had to go back to the hostess station to “get checked in” again. And they were not very busy. Empty tables in abundance. We won’t be back again with so many other options available in San Francisco.

I would not recommend this place to be honest. As excited as I was to try it, despite the prior reviews, I was extremely disappointed in the service. We came here for my sisters birthday dinner in a party of 6, and it took us 35 minutes to have a waiter come greet us at our table and another 45 minutes to receive our drinks and get our appetizer order in. The food looked great but didn’t taste like anything special. The view is gorgeous, that’s one thing I will give them.

I booked this place a month in advance, for our anniversary. My husband and I came in about 10 minutes early. When we arrived, the hosts ignored us. I was hoping they’d ask if we had a reservation but they never did. They did help other customers as soon as they came in. I finally let them know we had our reservation soon. The whole host experience made my husband want to leave. I’m not sure what is was about us they made them want to ignore us, but it did really put a damper on the whole anniversary dinner. When we were seated, our service became much better from the servers. Our food was good. Nothing too remarkable. and the views were exceptional. You really come here for the views and the atmosphere.
