    We had a great overall experience at Little Shucker. Food was great. High-quality. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Only thing that was missing, in my opinion, was a full bar.  with that in mind, Iwould like to see a larger wine menu. Those are very small critiques compared to the experience that we had for our family of five!

    Lives up to its name, anchovies are everywhere and they’re delicious. Appetizers are their strong suit. Fried anchovies, house made chips and dip, anchovy toasts and pintxos are all so good especially with a crisp white wine or a beer. A mini vacation. Main courses are good. Not quite sure how a chicken schnitzel fits into their Spanish/Portuguese themed menu but it was good as was the English pea pasta and their clams. Wine list is similarly Spanish/Portuguese centric. Service is friendly and professional. Nothing else quite like it in San Francisco.
