This is one of those places captures the charm of Fishermans wharf. Maher is attached to a hotel. The decor is all exposed beams and nautical themes. ...
1st time here. Very pleasant atmosphere and walking distance from Pier 39. The crab and corn chowder was pretty tasty! The calamari was cooked perfectly also.

Chowder was delicious as was the fish and chips. I loved the fries they were perfectly crispy. We had the crab and corn chowder in the bread bowl and it was an excellent choice. Great sourdough bread that soaked up the chowder just right.
Very beautiful place with wonderful people always kind and helpful. The food is extremely good and also not so expensive. We booked a table for 20 so it should was difficult but not at all. It was a beautiful night!
Stopped to get a quick bite while waiting for friends to arrive. I had the chowder sampler and they were delicious. The crab and corn chowder was amazing! They also have local beers on tap and a great atmosphere.
