“ Great spot if you are solo or with a partner. Amazing atmosphere for two cases. I came in to try the oyster chowder and it was phenomenal 55. I had the amber beer they had on tap and it was delicious. I was fortunate to have the owner man the bar and had a pleasure talking to him. I look forward to coming back and becoming a regular whenever Im in the city. some places you stop in and you can tell right away someone takes great care of the place and its usually family owned. Much love and respect for the owners and the comfortable, safe space they created. ”

“ This place was great. We got to meet one of the owners who was wonderful. The food was fantastic. My son had a steak and he was in heaven. Fried oysters were so good. I ended up with fried shrimp and fish. They were so juicy and perfectly cooked. It was something. Dont forget to eat your Brussels sprouts. Will be back soon. ”

“ Came in on a friends recommendation for good oysters and I was not disappointed. Everything we had was delicious. The cocktails were perfectly crafted and well balanced, the food was very fresh, and the service was fabulous. The Baja fish tacos were great, clams were wonderful, but Ill be coming back for those fresh oysters for sure! Highly recommend and will definitely be returning! ”

“ A breath of fresh air breaking the traditional mold of food establishments along Taraval street, Bearing West gives a cozy and welcoming local family restaurant vibe. It has a friendly, attentive and timely service, original choice of cocktails and good food. The atmosphere. The bar and both seating rooms have TVs. There is a bar, artwork that adds to the atmosphere, and a tabletop game in the back room. The owners John and Jeff told me they were planning to open up the patio in the back too. The drinks. I find them to have an affordable yet original cocktail options like the Rosemary Highball see pics There are also an ample variety of wine by the glass and beer. The food. From seafood to garlic fries, the menu was handcrafted by the owners. At my last visit I enjoyed the clams, garlic fries, roasted spicy nuts variety, Baja fish tacos and the special of the day watermelon, cucumber, feta salad with basil and chicken wings. It was delish. A pleasant surprise, this place turned into my impromptu date and family spot at the same time. ”

“ Bearing West is a hidden gem for seafood enthusiasts. Nestled in the Outer Sunset on Taraval street, its intimate setting and neighborhood feel make you forget all the construction activity for the MUNI line right outside. So they literally are a hidden gem right now! The oysters, freshly shucked and expertly presented, are a testament to the chefs commitment to quality. Whether you prefer the delicate and sweet, or the robust and briny, we ordered the dozen mix and none of them disappointed us. John and Jeff were very attentive and wellversed in their craft. Just a great addition to the neighborhood! Bearing West is a mustvisit destination for seafood lovers! ”

“ We love the oysters, fish tacos, olives, clam chowder, and ice cream. The ceviche doesnt have the right fish, the balance of the sauce is off a bit. Overall pretty clean and fresh ingredients and taste, and we loved it. ”

“ Great to have this seafood spot on the west side of town! Food and Drinks All tasty. We especially loved their take on the clam chowder our new favorite chowder?. The oysters were super fresh, and the cocktails, fish tacos and deviled eggs were nice too! Service A! Our server was friendly, responsive, and attentive. The rest of the staff was also warm and welcoming when we came in. Ambiance Casual updated chowder houseocean vibe. We walked in around 530pm on a Thursday and by the time we left, the front room was full and bustling. Well be back and have already recommended it to some friends who live a few blocks away ”

“ Came here for dinner on a Thursday evening for 4 people. Had oyster shooter and chicken wings for appetizers on the happy hours, before 6pm. I think it was a few dollars off. The oysters were really fresh, my son loved the chicken wings. For dinner, ordered Steamers, 2 fish and chips, and fish taco, added avocado. Also ordered kusshi oyster and Brussels sprouts. Steamers portion is small, about 1215 clams and toasted butter breads. Fish and chips are pretty good portion, served with French fires, fish are fresh. Fish taco, 2 tacos, portion is just right. Son loved his fish taco. Brussels sprouts are good and tasty, actually we preferred if the Brussels are cut in half. Kusshi oysters are really good, nice and fresh Also had iced tea. It was typical iced tea. Overall food was fresh and good. The restaurant decor was very unique, felt like we were on a boat. John was our server, you can tell he is the owner. He constantly checked with us to see if we need anything and asked what we think of the food. Service was great, redcarpet service. The restaurant was not that busy but had about 6 to 8 tables. ”
