- KKerryVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •95 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoBeautiful views of the coast. Service was friendly and quick. Items we had were very good --crab cake to split, mussels and halibut were delicious. That being said, the menu has been the same for a long time. I was told there would be changes, but not yet. They are supposed to offer more fish and pasta items and a bit more affordable. We shall see.More infoPacific's EdgePrice: Very Expensive• American• Carmel•4.5
