Restaurant - Butterfly - Four Stars!

Butterfly at Pier 33 is so good. The happy hour menu here is one of my favorite (along with Chaya and others....). The Pork dish for $5, lettue wraps for $5, the salmon/strawberry sushi rolls are really great....does not sound like it I know, but they are.

This is on my short list for taking people that are visiting from out of the area. Walking down from Coit Tower down the Filbert Stret steps is the best way to get here.

The views here are great, and when a boat is docked it is really wild. You walk in and you almost think you are going to bump into the front of the whole thing. Literally. But you can sit at the bar, or anywhere in the place really, and just watch the water, the boats, the lights hitting off the east bay homes, the birds, etc. The big container ships cruising by makes you feel like a kid sometimes the way you catch yourself watching them.

The drinks here are great as well, and they have good DJ music some nights.

The big secret here..........the flat panel HD TV on the side of the bar, next to the wall of windows over the water, that always shows sports. You are not going to find a better "sports bar" anywhere in SF!! I have watched a few Michigan Woverine college football games here late Saturday mornings....

The bartenders here are usually really great also.
