This touristy spot still makes the grade because the views are outstanding (make sure to ask for a window table) and the simply prepared fresh fish and shellfish are consistently good, if not outstanding or terribly creative. Anthony's Bell Street Diner and Anthony's Fish Bar are in the same complex, so unless you have your heart set on more-formal dining in Pier 66, shop around and see which scene appeals to you most. Pier 66 offers the most extensive and expensive menu. The Bell Street Diner is more casual and offers snack-type foods like seafood tempura, shrimp gumbo, and burgers and tacos. The Fish Bar offers counter service and decent fish-and-chips for those looking for a quick lunch. All three spaces have deck seating in summer. Dining and dress are casual, though you might want to upgrade to business casual or casual chic for dining at Pier 66.

I knew this place was "touristy" and wasn't expecting to be impressed, but boy, was I wrong. Everything was delicious--my ahi amazing, DH's hallibut, fantastic, crab salad, wonderful, and a wonderful wine list. Service couldn't have been better, and the view is wonderful.
