has been with Simco Restaurants since 1996. Adolfo started his career with Real restaurants as a line cook for Fog City Diner. During his six-year career with them, he worked at some of the most well-known Bay Area restaurants, including Bix, Bistro Roti and Buckeye Roadhouse. Adolfo started with us at Pier Market Restaurant, then moved over to Dante's Restaurant where he served as head chef for 3 years. In 2001, Simco Restaurants purchased Chic's Seafood, and Adolfo was promoted to executive chef, his dream come true. After a complete renovation, Chic's was transformed into what is now known as Fog Harbor Fish House.

FOG HARBOR FISH HOUSE, EAGLE CAFE, PIER MARKET, BISCOFF COFFEE CORNER, WIPEOUT BAR&GRILL

FOG HARBOR FISH HOUSE offers the quintessential San Francisco waterfront dining experience. Take in award-winning views of the San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge while enjoying complimentary sourdough bread baked in-house every hour, and dine on the freshest seafood and meats available.

Created by the family who developed PIER 39, its history spans over three decades and includes three generations of family members who still own and operate it. Fog Harbor is proud to be the first restaurant in Fisherman’s Wharf to serve 100% sustainable seafood.

THE EAGLE CAFÉ is a new member of the Simco restaurants that used to be up the street on Embarcadero and Powell. Warren, our family patriarch, wanted it to be part of the opening line-up of restaurants on the Pier. That was prevented by the San Francisco Landmarks Board who originally cleared the way for relocation, then changed their minds until recently when SF City Attorney's reversed their decision clearing the way for the Eagle to land atop this very spot.

Not only is the Eagle our family's place now, but since it's opening in 1928, The Eagle's been a welcome and frequented place by veterans and active military, and longshoremen working the Waterfront The restaurant's decorations and historical artifacts are a tribute, and in some cases a gift, from these very important guests.
