"Ohhhh hayyyy! I never wrote a review for Pomeii's? How could" Was my pending review on Yelp before I saw that my beloved Pompei's had closedddddddd!!! What?! My BF turned prom date turned husband turned baby daddy used to hit up the old school Pompei's with the paper table covers, red plaid tables, dark wood walls, christmas lights year round deco, with old school oiled up tealights all the time! It was the best spot for some scallops, potatoes, and mushy veg!! And child, dont get me started on the lox app and bruschetta app! So good! Dang I'm sad I never got a chance to eat that again! It was a fine family establishment!

Pompei's Grotto is a clean and airy seafood restaurant smack dab in the middle of San Francisco's prime tourist destination Fisherman's Wharf. We just happened to come on a sunny Friday afternoon looking for a lunch destination that wasn't going to take too long as we had a place to go to afterwards and time was a must. We were intrigued with the menu that was presented in front of Pompei's Grotto, as many establishments on Jefferson Street tend to do, they have a huge menu posted at their entrance enticing curious diners to see what's good and affordable. We were sold thanks to mainly the cleanliness that the restaurant exhibited and the ease of location, which also must of accounted for a decent amount of people sitting out there in their front dining patio. It's easy to imagine a restaurant that looks like Pompei's Grotto in the middle of of a harbor in Nantucket or Cape Cod, it has that kind of New England sea faring vibe, with bright colors and a cool and classy nautical interior. I'm not exactly sure of the Pompei reference in the restaurant's name, but there were a handful to deliciously described Italian dishes on their menu, but the grotto names comes into play as they had a number of seafood dishes that no doubt plays into the fact that they are so centrally located along the water. My dining companion and I weren't too hungry and we knew we had to order fast if we were going to get through lunch in a timely manner so we decided to split two of their signature dishes. We went with their Pompei's Homemade Clam Chowder served in a Bread Bowl which cost $12.95 and the Fish & Chips, which featured two beer battered filets served on a bed of French Fries which cost $20.95. Service didn't take too long as the food came out within roughly fifteen minutes. The Clam Chowder was warm and hearty and was well worth the price, while the Fish & Chips although tasty didn't justify the rather exorbitant cost for the two small filets and french fries direct from the freezer and straight from the fryer. Surprisingly, I would actually consider returning to Pompei's, but for only one thing, Happy Hour as they serve beers, wines and well drinks for only 5 dollars and snacks like wings, fish tacos, mussels and fried calamari for only 7 dollars. But I'd also seriously consider all of the other options they have on Jefferson Street alone. This just goes to chow how competitive it is out here for restaurants like Pompei's Grotto and their many neighbors to survive. Because it's a fish eat fish world out there so to speak and we are all just guppies trying to figure out our next meal in one of the most visitor friendly cities in the world.
