Why did we dine here? – Harborview Restaurant is located in 4 Embarcadero Center, San Francisco. It takes the place of Crystal Jade, which spend $14 remodeling the space. This restaurant is run the founder of by the well established R & G Lounge Kinson Wong. Embarcadero underground garage parking validation available -> $2 parking on weekends.

Insider Tip – Order selectively, they are $$$$ Cuisine – Cantonese Chinese Location – San Francisco Financial District Opened – 2018 Service – Harborview service was very good, better than most Chinese restaurants.

In all fairness we were expecting high prices and good but not stellar food. When were in the East Bay the previous week, we visited Ippuku and were impressed. Does Pabu match this high mark? Insider Tip – Beware that costs can add up fast. Be sure to get soup and entrees. Keep room for dessert Cuisine – Japanese Location – San Francisco Financial District Opened – 2015 Service – Pabu Service was disjointed from the minute we arrived. They were overloaded and it took way too long to get our order taken. Food pacing was off, with very long pauses in service. Our Miso Cod took forever to arrive. At these prices, this is not […]
