    An interesting busy place in touristy Fisherman's Wharf. The lobby is spacious offering high tables from meals brought from outside. Original decoration and plenty of games and camp fires in the courtyard where you can cook your mashmallows. Excellent location, close to the cable car turn over and pier 39. You can easily walk to Alcatraz cruise deck or even to Exploratorium, a very interesting science museum.
