Joshua Nguyen: Must haves: baked mussels, spicy scallop roll. Not popular with the "zomg California roll is great sushi" crowd but worth trying: uni and amaebi - with the heads (not on the menu).
Peter Shanley: Go to Sushi Zone early in the night, get the Hawaiin #1 & #2 (mango/macadamia and avocado/macadamia) and the Spicy Hamachi (fresh jalapeno, lime zest) and start with the mussels. KABOOM
Tim Sakhuja: Baked mussels, spicy hamachi roll with LIME! The lime really does the trick.

Ms Helene: Share a crudo sampler-amazing! Lobster and tomato salad screams freshness and the mussels are in the most divine cream sauce that you'll want to drink it. Amazing food for good prices.
Kimberly Howard: Happy Hour from 5-6:30 is fantastic: oysters, best mussels I've ever had, seafood chowder, fish tacos and more, plus two $6 wine options that go perfectly with the food.
Reserve: Fresh seafood is the name of the game at Bar Crudo, which dishes out an array that includes platters of bi-coastal oysters, prawns, crab, lobster and mussels, as well as crudo samplers. Read more.

Lucinda B: If you can only try one clam chowder while in SF make it this one! And the steamed mussels are amazing.... skip the grilled cheese and get the mussels instead!
Jess Kono: Right near the water! Get the oysters, mussels and fried anchovies. They are all super fresh and tasty
Lev Z: The mussels are to die for!! Very accommodating to allergies, they were able to leave out the garlic and Dijon mustard while still producing fabulous mussels.

Angela Z.: Get the deviled eggs, mussels and lots of oysters. Garden party to drink. Super delicious and intimate!
Seijung Park: Loud and cramped but for good reason - the food was great! Deviled eggs, baked oysters, raw oysters (the one with uni is real good), mussels were all excellent choices
Melon L: Amazing (and strong!) cocktails. Cute vibe, sit at the bar for an even better experience. Skip the crab louie, but absolutely order the deviled eggs & hamachi.
