Nice Dining Experience
“During my stay at the Argonaut, I had the pleasure of dining at the Blue Mermaid Chowder House & Bar. It's a fantastic spot that quickly became my favorite for breakfast. The chowder was truly the best I tried while in San Francisco, and the ambiance of the bar created a lovely atmosphere to unwind.” view full review
