First time here, discovered by chance as we were driving by, lots of people but enough space to seat us inside right away.
Salmon was really good, not very garlicky, combined with squash and navy beans, I usually don't eat the skin but I tried it and it was crunchy and flavoury, no regrets. Chimichu
Oh, Balboa… a true Marina District classic! My family’s been coming here for generations and it never disappoints. The cocktails are always top-notch, the staff are awesome, and the food is excellent. It can get pretty wild on the weekends, but weeknights are a great time to run into old friends and
Wandered upon this place, and happy we did. The staff was so helpful and knowledgeable regarding the menu. The waitress was beyond accommodating recommending half servings of salads, additions, etc. They even sent us free dessert bc it was our birthdays. The food was flavorful and nice size portions
Excellent espresso martinis and chimichurri fries. Yum!!! Mac n cheese average. Smelled weird inside so we asked to sit outside although it was cold.
Popular spot known for espresso martinis in the Marina. Came here for dinner on a Friday evening around 9pm and it was pretty crowded. We didn’t have reservations for our party of four but we nabbed an inside table with a less than 5 minute wait. Outdoor seating with heat lamps is also available.

Staff is nice and efficient.

Heard about this place through the grapevine, I must say the food and atmosphere are great. Would come back again, the seafood was delicious.
Perfect place for dinner, especially mushroom dishes are something incredible
Man I I’ve been coming to this place for years. The reason why I keep coming to this place is because they are the best people. I lost my wallet and ID here and the staff were kind enough to mail it to me. I am absolutely a customer for life as I’ve been for the last 5 years. There is no better plac
Wild review, bc I didn’t actually eat here. Visiting SFO, going for a walk, saw the place and wanted to check the menu…the gentleman at the front greeting, Mark, this man is electric and needs a raise! He was so enthusiastic, kind, and legit would have gotten me to eat there if I didn’t already have
Balboa is one of the most popular places in town. It draws large fun crowds all the time. Great bartenders. Perfect location in the middle of the new bar area.
Fun little place for cocktails! We got the espressotinis, and they were some of the best we’ve ever had!
