Mccormick & Kuleto's Seafood & Steaks

I should’ve done some research before coming here so I give them the benefit of the doubt. My group ended the day at Ghirardelli square after walking around the city for hours and we were all craving clam chowder in a bread bowl. We were too tired to walk anywhere else so we decided to just try it here, despite it being more expensive than the ones at the pier. We weren’t dressed very formally but we weren’t dressed poorly either but it still felt like somewhere we weren’t supposed to be. We were really disappointed when they told us the bread bowls were only for lunch time, along with a few other items that were only displayed on the menu outside. We knew it was a mistake to only come here for soup because of the slight pressure we felt to order more from our server, I understand why but, it made us a bit uncomfortable after we already declined. They were still very friendly and not rude at all, we could just tell it felt like we were wasting their time and seemed disappointed. The soup was still delicious, the clams were perfectly cooked. We ended up trying some oysters that were also great, they came with a flavored ice which was really unique. The room was nice and cozy with a decent view but this isn’t the spot I would recommend to just anybody. Also the music did not fit the fancy atmosphere at all.

I found the food to be very good, fresh, and a good sized portion. I must say that the star of the show was our waiter by the name of Greg. He was an older gentleman and he was so incredibly nice, professional, and very very attentive. Me and my wife celebrated our anniversary last night and it was such a pleasure having Greg wait on our table…This man deserves a raise….My wife and daughter both ordered the salmon which they state was cooked to perfection and my angus ribeye was very flavorful and cooked the way I liked it…. Calamari appetizer was ample and delicious….. The only thing that would have made it a perfect experience is if the restaurant was 5-6 degrees warmer. It was quite cold inside and my wife had to put her jacket back on. Although my wife was there for the the first time yesterday Ive been there a total of 3 times and its always been cold inside…

The restaurant has such beautiful, serene views from your table. The staff was attentive. The food was fresh from the oysters, fish & clam chowder. The steak perfectly seared. I highly recommend eating here if you're at the Ghirardelli square.

We had a wonderful experience celebrating a special dinner at the Dolphin Room at McCormick & Kuleto’s in San Francisco on April 25, 2025. The view was absolutely incredible! The room was nice and clean. The service was attentive and friendly, and the food was very good. Unfortunately, we do not remember the names of the staff members who helped us that evening, April 25, but we are grateful for their excellent service and warm hospitality. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a special occasion with great service, food, and unforgettable views.

Appetizers were so delicious. I enjoyed the entire dinner immensely. The pasta wasn’t that exciting but the view of the sun setting on the Bay made the experience magical. And appreciated the beautiful service of Caesar!

McCormick & Kuleto's Seafood & Steaks, located in Ghirardelli Square, offers a great Happy Hour in the Fisherman’s Wharf area.

The Happy Hour menu features tasty options like the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl, which is full of fresh flavors, and Kuleto’s Cheeseburger, which is always juicy and satisfying. You should also try the Calamari "Fritto Misto" or the rich Black Truffle Fries as great snacks with your drinks. If you look at the regular menu, don’t miss the Anchor Steam Fish & Chips. It’s well-made and goes well with many drinks, making it a good choice for seafood lovers. When my friends and I visit, we start with a round of draft beer, usually enjoying the refreshing Fort Point KSA Kolsch Style Ale. We always order a big plate of crispy fries that are hard to resist. Depending on the night, we might stick with the Happy Hour menu or switch to the regular menu for a bigger meal. The beautiful views of the San Francisco Bay always impress us, and someone in our group usually comments on how lovely it is.

Celiacs beware: yummy but gut wrenching food. I could not get a straight story from the waitress or the chef. Illness was Swift and furious. Be very careful and insist that they separate, especially that they don't cook anything in the fryer. They seem A couple steps above clueless. It's a pity because the food was tasty. The service was okay. Maybe not as informed as it could have been but, friendly and helpful and good-natured. The views are spectacular and a cloudy Sunset always makes for views that look like something painted by a Dutch Master. Restroom had no toilet paper or paper towels and I had to leave a 90 something-year-old standing waiting while I ran to the bartender who couldn't care less and deflected me to the front desk which was down a level. I had to call down to her and ask her to please come up. The hostess was very kind and came running to try and find some paper products. At a place with these prices that should never be. They need to be more on top of their game. They were warm and friendly and welcoming, which we really appreciate it. But if you're going to invite someone over, you need to have the place ready. People with allergies need to be extremely careful. To pay all that money and to lose the meal right after is a complete waste. It is sad. They need to do a better job with kitchen staff. Education from the top down. Servers need far far better info about the allergy and that even when Foods just touch a person can get ill. Other five star restaurants, even four stars that are careful we have no problem with. It's just a matter of them being more aware and intentional. Parking was easy underneath.. this is a very difficult place for the elderly as it's multi-level and set on a steep hill. The nice solution is parking in the lot and taking the elevator to the front door of the restaurant. They do have a handicap half elevator inside the restaurant to make up for the distance between levels. It was a fun experience and very tasty. We wish the wait staff had been more honest about how big heavy and filling the desserts were because we ended up wishing we had split. So if you've had a full meal, just split something. The restaurant has two really nice private rooms which are great for board meetings, family anniversaries and birthdays, etc. The one on the lower level is brighter and cheerier with a view. Except for getting so ill on the food. I was wishing for a big family party to fill that beautiful room.
