Address

Ferry Building, shop #11 (bay side)

An oyster bar run by the farm that grows them in Tomales Bay, north of the city. It sits on the bay side of the Ferry Building, so window and patio seats look out at the Bay Bridge and passing ferries. Order raw oysters of the day by the half or full dozen, or the grilled ones topped with sauce. Plenty of people come for the clam chowder instead: thinner and brothier than most, loaded with clams, and served with bread from ACME next door for dunking.
