Reviews
We had to wait over 30 minutes for our seafood stew because it was forgotten. Other customers who came in after us had already eaten and left by the time our dish arrived. We had to ask about it, and were told it was “almost here,” then waited another 10 minutes—without any apology from the staff.
When we received the bill, there was a 5% wellness fee on both dining in and my to go order, and the tip section was set at a minimum of 18%, with the waiter standing right next to us while we selected the tip. We did tipped 18%, but will not return to the place I believe. Overall, this made the experience unpleasant and left us frustrated.
Perfect! I’m going right past it. So I pulled off the highway, and bam, there it was, not far from the ferry to San Fransisco and the “big house”, San Quentin.
Now, Hog Island Oyster Company, for those who don’t know, isn’t just any oyster shack. These guys are the rockstars of oyster farming in the Bay Area. They started out back in the 1980s, growing their own oysters in Tomales Bay, and they’ve built this amazing reputation for incredibly fresh, top-quality sustainable seafood. You can really taste the difference. Hog Island Oyster has also become something of a “must-do” destination, known for the fish sure, but also the bright, clean, friendly and lively atmosphere at their restaurants.
Anyway, I lucked out and snagged a seat at the counter, which was buzzing with people. It was a really fun vibe, super energetic. And let me tell you, everything I ate was just terrific.
Of course, I started with the oysters on the half shell. They were so fresh, briny, and just… perfect.
Served with Lemon and “Hogwash Mignonette”, I enjoyed Hog Island Sweetwater and Hog Island Earthquake Bay oysters. You could tell they came straight from the bay. These had some of the deepest cups I’ve ever enjoyed. I might have to have some shipped to my home in North Carolina one day.
Next, I ventured on to the grilled oysters. Oh man, those were something else. I got a pair with Chipotle Bourbon Butter, which was smoky and rich, and I also tried two with the Calabrian Chili Garlic Oil, which had this awesome kick of heat. Both were absolutely delicious.
But the real star of the show? The Rustic Seafood Stew. I’m familiar with this as somewhat a staple of Northern California seafood restaurants. So this was a must-do in my mind. And it did not disappoint.
It was packed with Lingcod, Shrimp, and Manila clams, all swimming in this flavorful tomato broth with a touch of Calabrian chili. And the grilled Acme bread for dipping?
Forget about it! It was the perfect comfort food on a slightly chilly afternoon. The seafood was cooked perfectly, and the broth was so good I wanted to lick the bowl.
How about the service? Seriously top-notch. Everyone was super friendly and attentive, even though the place was packed. They were happy to answer questions and offer recommendations, which I always appreciate.
Honestly, if I lived anywhere near Larkspur, I’d be a regular at Hog Island Oyster Company. It’s the kind of place where you can just relax, enjoy amazing seafood, and soak up the lively atmosphere.
If you’re ever in the area, do yourself a favor and check it out. You won’t be disappointed!
Sat at bar because they didn’t want to seat us outside on picnic benches in case of big groups coming after us, even though over half the benches were open. Bar stools were very comfortable metal and mesh
The shrimp and oyster Po Boy sandwiches were delicious. Both really fresh, flavorful and juicy.
Service was great- bar staff attended to us quickly and made sure we had enough water.
It was lovely to walk around after our meal along the waterfront
