Excellent service; lobster salad was delicious. I enjoyed the grilled octopus but it felt a little too (charred) to my liking(?). Will probably come again and get a diff dish.

Solid Happy Hour specials, $2 oysters were plump and extremely fresh. Mussels were lacking in meat unfortunately this time and I wasn't fond of the sauce too much. Steamed Manila Clams and an order of the house bread (from Acme bread) was really good and filling. Stick with oysters and $9 wine specials, you won't be disappointed!Oh and did I mention the lively, cute decor? Staff were super friendly and knowledgable also :) Recommended!

Haven't been here in a few years. It's nice to see the Divisadero area so vibrant. The food and service were excellent. We sat at the bar, which looked roomier than the tables overall, and the vibe was very energetic. We enjoyed our experience and will be back.

A must for happy hour! $2 oysters and mussels. The oysters and toppings were so flavorful. We loved the pico on top of the mussels. The shishito pepper were also perfectly cooked, would have liked if they came with some sort of aioli for dipping. The slaw on the tacos was so delicious, and the tortillas were handmade!Definitely going to come back for happy hour. A great spot on divis!

Wonderful seafood place! Lots of easily sharable dishes, and it seems accessible to large groups wanting drinks and some tasty bites to couples seeking an amazing meal. Raw selection with crudos and oysters is hard to beat. Plenty of other seafood classics, and Bar Crudo's versions are often some of the best versions I've had. Great bar, with a surprisingly great beer selection. Price at the end of meal always feels a bit lower in comparison to similar places in SF.

For my birthday dinner, I wanted seafood. So, we went to Bar Crudo, with 2 of our friends.FOODWe ordered a dozen oysters as an appetizer. We also had uni toast, cod tacos, Crudo sampler. For salad, we ordered the beet salad. My husband said, "it's the best beet salad in the City." For my main course, I ordered grilled octopus. I truly enjoyed it. I could've ordered seconds. SERVICEOur server gave an excellent service. He gave us complimentary champagne for my birthday. He was attentive and also left us alone to enjoy our time.AMBIENCENot a "first date night" type of place.We would come back again. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're craving seafood.

I’ve eaten here dozens of time and the food is excellent. However my enjoyment of the restaurant was negated by the middle-aged, grey haired host is quite rude and officious. If you hate people, why work in a restaurant?

We were party of 4.Our waiter was rude and slow.So at the end of the service we weren’t happy automatic 20% tip was included.We were gonna pay like 10% after $411 total.The restaurant manager kept insisting it’s a normal to add 20% automatic tips even though we were only 4 people.We explained to the manager the server was kind of rude and service was slow, after that she agreed to take 20% charge out of our tab. We left 20$ tip (about 5%) but the waiter harassed us to the street. Had a horrible experience and ruined double date that night. I just found out the restaurant still charged my card 20% tip. Now I have to call my bank to correct that. Lucky for me I took the photo of my receipt. I also found out they added tips before the tax. All around scam master restaurant, don’t go there… food wasn’t that great either.UPDATE: About a week after this review, Bar Crudo reached out by email. The owner told me that after their own investigation the waiter was let go and they also refunded $60 from our bill and told me he is sending a gift certification as well. I appreciate the owner reaching out. After a good gesture by the owner, I feel like it was more of an isolated incident by a grumpy waiter that night.I've changed my rating from one star to three star now. I hope the restaurant learned their lessons and emphasis on a good customer service going forward.
