Magnitude 6.6 quake hits off Papua New Guinea coast: USGS
(Reuters) – A magnitude 6.6 quake struck off the coast of Papua New Guinea early on Sunday local time, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The strong quake was centered 81 miles east-southeast of Rabaul, New Britain, at a depth of 43.5 miles, the USGS said.
The quake was not expected to generate a tsunami, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

Geothermal activity seen in New Zealand

Rotorua, New Zealand (UPI)

A long forgotten geothermal spectacle on New Zealand's North Island could be coming back to life after more than 40 years, scientists said.
In the first half of the 20th century the Waikite Geyser in the Whakarewarewa geothermal area near Rotorua was known for its spectacular hot water eruptions reaching up to 65 feet but had not produced a significant eruption since 1969, the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences said.
However, in the past year scientists have increasingly noticed geothermal waters coming into the throat of the geyser, a major tourist attraction, the official Chinese news agency Xinhua reported.
Geothermal features like geysers can be naturally variable and stay dormant for years, GNS geothermal scientist Ed Mroczek said in a statement.
"This makes it difficult to distinguish what is part of a natural cycle and what is disruption caused by human activity," he said.
Scientists say they believe a sharp increase in the number of bores drilled in Rotorua since the 1950s by homeowners and businesses seeking cheap energy caused underground pressures to drop.
But new research at Whakarewarewa suggests pressure has increased and water from deeper in the earth was being pushed toward the surface, scientists said.
"We have no way of knowing if Waikite will recover to its former magnificence, but the signs we are seeing are very encouraging," Mroczek said.

Description | |
Firefighters in Russia's Siberia had extinguished 45 forest fires covering 522 hectares of forest in the past 24 hours, but 131 wildfires were still burning on the area of almost 15,000 hectares, the regional forestry department said Friday. A total of 29 wildfires covering an area of more than 5,000 hectares were localized, and 14,948 hectares of forest continued to burn in the Krasnoyarsk Krai, Tomsk Region, Tuva, Khakassia and Irkutsk Region. Some 3,000 people, 412 units of fire-fighting equipment and 24 aircrafts have been mobilized to fight the blazes, which are believed to be caused by hot and dry weather in the region where the temperature reaches 35 degrees. Reports said the wildfires posed no threat to populated areas or industry. |

Tornado in Philippines on Sunday, 29 July, 2012 at 04:29 (04:29 AM) UTC.
Description | |
At least 85 houses were destroyed in the wake of a tornado that struck four barangays in Jagna, Bohol at 11 a.m. last Friday. The tornado struck barangays Can-upao, Bunga Mar, Cantagay and Ipil while a heavy downpour was taking place, according to the Jagna Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. "The residents said they felt their houses shake. In one house, the kitchen got pulled out and landed in the sala. The residents got out of their homes and ran away," said council staffer Vicente Orias. Orias said some residents described seeing a black funnel of air in the sky which later spun towards the ground. Several houses made of nipa were uprooted, Orias said. The roofs of some houses, including those made of galvanized aluminum sheets, were blown away. "It looked like the roofs were cut open by the wind," Orias said. Pag-asa Mactan weather specialist Boy Artiaga said the tornado occurred due to the presence of the southwest monsoon winds and the low pressure area in the eastern part of the Visayas. Barangay Can-upao was hardest hit with 43 destroyed or damaged houses, followed by Bunga Mar with 39 houses, two in Cantagay and one in Ipil. No one was reported injured, Orias said. The affected families transferred to houses of their relatives or neighbors. Bohol provincial police said property damage was estimated at P800,000. The tornado also damaged 13 pumpboats worth P300,000, a sari-sari store and fruit-bearing trees worth P200,000. Bohol Gov. Edgar Chatto, Vice Gov. Concepcion Lim and social welfare personnel went to the affected areas to distribute rice, noodles, and canned goods. |

Flood Advisory
- From: AFP
FLOODING across impoverished North Korea this month has killed 88 people, left tens of thousands homeless and devastated swathes of farmland.
A week of floods "caused by typhoon and downpour … claimed big human and material losses", Pyongyang's official news agency said. The new death toll was a dramatic increase from the figure of eight reported Wednesday.
A total of 134 people were injured and almost 63,000 people were left homeless by the floods, which started on July 18, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported, with thousands of houses damaged or destroyed.
The biggest loss of human life was in two counties of South Pyongan province, which were hit by torrential rains on Monday and Tuesday, it said.
More than 30,000 hectares of land for growing crops was "washed away and buried" or "submerged", KCNA said, a potential blow for a state that is beset by persistent severe food shortages.
With rugged terrain and outmoded agricultural practices, the country faces serious difficulties in feeding its 24 million people. Hundreds of thousands died during a famine in the mid to late-1990s.
UN agencies, after a visit to the North, estimated last November that three million people would need food aid in 2012.
Some 300 public buildings and 60 factories were damaged in the floods, as well as large stretches of road, KCNA said.
State media reported earlier this week that 60 flood victims were rescued thanks to a helicopter urgently sent by leader Kim Jong-Un.
The victims, including children and women, were trapped on Monday on a hillock in the northwest of the country after a river flooded due to heavy rain, the official news agency said.
"Isolated incommunicado, they did not find a way out, in panic at rising water. At that time a helicopter appeared," it said.
"After receiving an urgent report, the dear respected Kim Jong-Un issued an emergency sortie order to a unit of the Air Force of the Korean People's Army."
After decades of deforestation, the impoverished North Korea is particularly vulnerable to flooding.
Dozens were killed or injured by a storm and torrential rain in the North in June and July last year. Thousands were also made homeless and large areas of farmland were flooded.
The United States reached a deal on February 29 this year to offer North Korea badly needed food aid in return for a freeze on nuclear and missile tests.
But it rescinded the plan after the North's failed rocket launch in April, seen by the United States and its allies as an attempted ballistic missile test.
The North has been developing nuclear weapons for decades and staged two nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009.

Ebola outbreak in Uganda kills 13: official
By Elias Biryabarema
(Reuters) – An outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus has killed 13 people in Uganda and efforts are under way to contain the hemorrhagic fever, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Saturday.
There is no treatment and no vaccine against Ebola, which is transmitted by close personal contact and, depending on the strain, kills up to 90 percent of those who contract the virus.
Joaquim Saweka, WHO's representative in Uganda, said that although suspected Ebola infections emerged in early July in Kibale district, about 170 km (100 miles) west of the capital Kampala, the outbreak was not confirmed until Friday.
"There are a total of 20 people suspected to have contracted Ebola and 13 of them have died," Saweka said.
"A team of experts from the government, WHO and CDC (U.S. Centers for Disease Control) are in the field and following up on all suspected cases and those who got into contact with patients."
Saweka said the origin of the outbreak had not yet been confirmed, but 18 of the 20 cases are understood to be linked to one family.
Kibale is near the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where the virus emerged in 1976, taking its name from the Ebola River.
The symptoms include sudden onset of fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat, followed by vomiting, diarrhea, rashes, impaired kidney and liver function and both internal and external bleeding.
Ebola was last reported in Uganda in May last year when it killed a 12-year-old girl. The country's most devastating outbreak was in 2000 when 425 people were infected, more than half of whom died.

Planet-forming dust disc surrounding distant star disappears
An artist's conception of the now-vanished dust disc surrounding the star TYC 8241 2652 1. (Gemini Observatory/AURA artwork by Lynette Cook / July 5, 2012) |
A disc of planet-forming dust around a distant star has disappeared unexpectedly, leaving astronomers scratching their heads and questioning current theories of how planets are formed. "It's like the classic magician's trick: Now you see it, now you don't," said astronomer Carl Melis of UC San Diego, who led the team that discovered the phenomenon. "Only in this case, we're talking about enough dust to fill an inner solar system and it is really gone." The team has proposed several possible explanations for the disappearance, but "none are really compelling," Melis said.
The star in question is a called TYC 8241 2652. It is a younger version of our own sun, only about 10 million years old (our own solar system is 4.5 billion years old), and lies 450 million light-years away in the constellation Centaurus. It was first seen in 1983 by NASA's Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS). The dust disc heats up from absorbed light from its star and re-emits the energy in the infrared, giving the system a characteristic appearance. IRAS has discovered hundreds of such stars.
The team reported Thursday in the journal Nature that they reexamined the star in 2008 using the Gemini South Observatory in Chile and found the same infrared signature observed in 1983. But when they looked at it again in 2009 with NASA's orbiting Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, about two-thirds of the dust had disappeared. Observations with other telescopes the following year showed that virtually all of the dust was gone. "It's as if you took a conventional picture of the planet Saturn today and then came back two years later and found that its rings had disappeared," said co-author Ben Zuckerman of UCLA.
Researchers have offered at least three potential mechanisms for the disappearance. One might be runaway planetary accretion. It is generally believed that the condensation of such dust particle around a star into a planet occurs over long periods — hundreds of thousands of years. In this case, it could have been accelerated by some unknown force, occurring over just a few years. The star is too far away to observe any potential planet, however.
A second possibility is that, for some reason, the dust has all fallen into the star itself, perhaps as a result of the star's gravity or some external force. The third explanation might be that the dust particles are so small that the constant stream of light from the star has ejected them all into space, where they have cooled off.
"Many astronomers feel uncomfortable with the suggested explanations for the disappearance of the dust because each of them has nontraditional implications," said co-author Inseok Song of the University of Georgia. "But my hope is that this line of research can bring us closer to a true understanding of how planets form."

Dogs Die After Playing In Tainted Reservoir
Toxic Algae Found In Salamonie Reservoir, Health Officials Say
ANDREWS, Ind. — Indiana health officials are warning residents that toxic algae found this summer in several lakes poses a health threat to people and animals.The warning comes after the death of two dogs playing in a northern Indiana reservoir tainted by the toxic algae.The Board of Animal Health said toxins released by blue-green algae are likely what caused two dogs belonging to Larry and Marge Young to die last week after the dogs played in Salamonie Reservoir.
The Wabash couple's two other dogs were sickened and are being treated for liver failure.State officials have found high blue-green algae levels in seven Indiana lakes, including Salamonie, where record levels were discovered.The others are Raccoon Lake, Hardy Lake, Brookville Lake, Whitewater Lake, Sand Lake and Worster Lake.

Japanese women fall behind Hong Kong in longevity
Japanese women have fallen behind Hong Kong in global life expectancy rankings for the first time in 25 years.
This was partly due to the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit the country in March 2011, said an annual report by Japan's health ministry.
The expected lifespan for Japanese women dropped from 86.30 years in 2010 to to 85.90 years in 2011.
The official life expectancy for women in Hong Kong last year was 86.70 years.
Japan has topped the women's rankings for a quarter of a century, with longevity attributed in part to a healthy traditional diet.
The magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that left more than 20,000 dead or missing pushed the life expectancy down.
However the report noted that even without the disaster Japanese women would still have dropped behind Hong Kong in the statistics.
Other factors contributing to the dip included a rise in the number of suicides among Japanese women, disease and other natural death causes, the report said.
The life expectancy for men in Japan also declined from 79.55 in 2010 to 79.44 last year.
The men dropped from fourth place in 2010 to eighth last year in the global life expectancy ranking, said Japan's Kyodo news agency.

Police: Esplanade evacuation went smoothly
BOSTON (WHDH) -- Lightning lit up the Boston skyline Wednesday night, causing trouble both before and after the big Fourth of July celebration at the Hatch Shell.
The Boston Pops left the stage and concertgoers were told to evacuate the Esplanade as storms rolled in Wednesday night.
The police commissioner said they weren't going to take any chances.
"Last night a decision was made to evacuate the Esplanade. It was the right decision to make in view of the information we had," said Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis on Thursday.
Though no one was injured on the Esplanade, two 29 year olds were struck by lightning in Thomas Park near the Dorchester Heights monument. They were treated and released from the hospital.
"We just heard a huge boom and then a torrential downpour started and everyone just started running and screaming," said Colin Murphy, who watched the fireworks in South Boston.
Murphy was at Thomas Park watching the fireworks with about 200 other people from the Southie neighborhood. The park offered a clear view of the Esplanade show.
Police said right as the show started the storm struck.
"The lightning strike came after the decision was made to shut the Esplanade down, but it was a good indication of how serious it could have been," said Davis.
Murphy said Mother Nature gave the crowd no warning.
"We saw heat lightning earlier, but this was the first strike we had seen in awhile. We thought the weather had cleared," said Murphy.
Earlier the weather caused evacuations on the Esplanade in the middle of the Boston Pops concert.
The musicians were ordered off stage and thousands of people were told to seek shelter -- many went to the underpass of Storrow Drive.
"It was weird, because we were sitting out there and all of a sudden the cops said we had to get off," one woman said. "So, yeah, it was crazy. Lightning was coming in -- dangerous lightning."
No one on the Esplanade was hurt. The show was delayed about 25 minutes.

More quote details and news » has received regulatory approval for its Chinese unit to start setting up a branch in Shanghai's new free-trade zone, making it among the first foreign banks to target business in the new economic experiment.
Designed to fuel development in the country's financial-services sector, China's State Council—the government's top policy-making body—on Friday released details of the new trade zone in Shanghai's Pudong district. The plan is being viewed as a cautious method to test new policies ahead of reforms in China that analysts expect to be rolled out only gradually. The nearly 29 square-kilometer pilot Free Trade Zone covers an area including hangars, docks and warehouses.
The project officially opens on Tuesday, though details on how the financial sector will be revamped remain scant.
Among the core aims of the free-trade zone are expected to be measures that will allow companies to convert money more easily from Yuan to other currencies, free up the setting of interest rates and promote more connectivity with offshore markets—luring new banking operators in the process.
"It will further open up the financial-services industry to both private and foreign capital, and encourage setting up of foreign-owned banks and Chinese-foreign joint venture banks," economists at ANZ Bank said in a note.
Under the approval Citibank China Co. Ltd received the go-ahead from the China Banking Regulatory Commission to start preparations for a sub branch in the new free-trade zone.
"China is a priority market," said Stephen Bird, Chief Executive Officer for Citi Asia Pacific.
The sub branch will offer both corporate and retail banking products in foreign and local currencies within the new zone and will be known as Citibank (China) Co., Ltd. Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone Sub-Branch.

More quote details and news » PLC and Standard Chartered PLC are expected to be among the other front runners of global banks testing the new zone. Other big foreign lenders have so far remained coy on their intentions, though are expected to show an interest.
For Citigroup, Asia has proved to be a strong region even as economic growth slows and emerging markets are roiled by an expected easing of the U.S. Federal Reserve's massive bond-buying program.
The bank, the third-largest U.S. lender by assets, drew 21% of total revenues in 2012 from Asia Pacific, up from 17% in 2010. Second-quarter revenue in the region this year grew by 7% from a year earlier to $4 billion, excluding credit- and debt-valuation adjustments. The bank will release third quarter earnings on Oct. 15.

We have many linked pdf documents. After upgrading to Acrobt Reader X we can´t go back to the parent document by using the "previous view" command. In older versions we can use this function to navigate back. Is there an option in the preferences to reactivate this possibility?
thanks for your response. But Ctrl+Shift+\ doesn´t work to jump back to the files that opened before.
My problem are discribed here, too
but no solution
This is a very serious bug, making AdobeReader completely useless in many big documentation system, which relies on that customers can read PDF files, following links to see details and "back" again to continue reading the original document!
I really hope Adobe very very very quickly will fix this and at the same time ensure this "back to previous place in previous PDF file" also works when reading via web browsers.
I definitely do not agree with you. This is a really bad BUG and unless fixed, it makes adobereader completely useless and will force many companies to spend lots of money and time to find other ways to create documentation for large projects, where full interaction is needed. Do you want also HTML to stop supporting links both forwards and back?
You can post a feature request:
Thanks Deepak, I really hope Adobe now have realized that the most important feature of PDF and AdobeReader is that one can browse through a documentation set of many PDF files, just like browsing the web, including following links forward so see some details and of course easily going BACK to continue reading. Without that, there is no reason whatsoever to use PDF for documentation sets. Without BACK "to-previous-place-in-previous-document" nobody dares to click on any link, afraid not to come back to continue reading.
The human brain works by remembering thing much better using images than words, which means that it is much easier to remember where one saw something in a "page" which always have the same layout, than on a html-page where the layout is different each time you look at it (width and window size and even worse compared to a print-out). This is the main reason to use PDF for big documentation sets.
Quest 1: Could you give some approximate indication when a new version is available? Until then, we have to inform all customers to downgrade to 10.0.1 and also downgrade in all our internal workstations.
Quest 2: When will this bug (some call feature) be fixed in the AdobeReader browser Addon? We have waited for this a long time now. Internally and some of our customers read our documentation set via a web-server and are eagerly waiting for this to be fixed also in the browser addon.
Best Regards / Lennart
I have been told by Adobe support that this is not a bug, but a security feature.
Our company has, over many years, developed for our most important software application a PDF help system with hundreds of books and thousands of pages. There are myriad links between and within the books. In order to make navigation through this morass easier, we have provided our users a starting "Main Menu" with links to the books. We also set it up so that only one PDF is open at any given time ("open in same window" option), otherwise a user could end up with hundreds of open PDF documents on their taskbar or desktop. We also have our users take advantage of the "Previous View" mechanism to make it easier to navigate while keeping only one window open at a time. (The browser "Back" button trick will not work with PDFs that have been closed).
However, Since version X of the Reader, the Previous View mechanism will not work with PDFs that have been closed. That is, you can only get back to a previous view in another PDF if it is still open. As mentioned above, this could leave our users with hundreds of open PDFs, and thus it is not an option for us. But Adobe has ignored our pleas.
You must vote with your feet; that is all Adobe understands. Adobe does not care about our needs and we have given up on them. We are currently telling our users:
"If you use a non-Adobe PDF reader, you will be able to install it on a system alongside any version of Adobe Reader, including version 10. We have found that Tracker Software makes an excellent free product called PDF-XChange Viewer, which may be downloaded HERE. PDF-XChange has a smaller footprint, is faster, and has more features than Adobe Reader, including a 64-bit version for Windows XP/Vista/7.
To set up this program to optimally use our help system, go to Preferences, and under "General," specify that the Documents Layout be Single rather than Multiple. Then you will be able to use the Alt keys with the arrows, or the Previous/Next View buttons on the toolbar, with closed PDFs."
Hi Deepak, and thanks,
I sincerely hope that Adobe at the same time will fix the same problematic bug (back-to-previous-place-in-previous PDF file ON SAME SERVER) when reading PDF via a browser and Adobe addon, because both we and our customers also read our big documentation help system via web access.
Regards /Lennart
Quest: Any time plan? It is soon two months since you promised to fix this.
We are eagerly waiting - unfortunately the IT departement does not want to downgrade to earlier Adobe Reader of security reasons, so we depend on a quick solution to this to be able to use our big documentation set. Regards /Lennart

If the turnout and content of a meeting at Yorkton's Legion Hall Monday night is any indication, the provincial NDP, unions and many workers are deeply concerned about the Saskatchewan government's review of labour laws.
In his opening remarks to a largely union crowd, Saskatoon Centre NDP MLA David Forbes called the government's consultation paper on the subject "fear-mongering" and said, while the opposition does not object to a review of labour legislation, the Sask Party was going about it the wrong way.
Literature distributed at the meeting contained headlines such as, "Your workplace rights are up for grabs." Forbes said that is not just rhetoric, that the fear is real and justified.
"This government has done some shocking things in the past," he said. "We just have to look at the spring where they [added] three new MLAs, they didn't talk about that in the election and killing the film industry, really, they didn't talk about that. So, we have really come to be quite nervous about this government."
That nervousness comes largely from some of the questions the government is asking in the discussion paper entitled A Consultation Paper on the Renewal of
Labour Legislation in Saskatchewan. Some of the most contentious are: Should there be limits on hours of work?; Should Vacation time for Saskatchewan workers be reduced? and; Should we lose the right to have employers collect dues on behalf of union members?
The question that raised the most ire was: Should employers be able to pay disabled workers wages lower than the minimum wage? One attendee said he was "incensed" by the question while one of the women said it was "shameful."
Greg Ottenbreit, the Saskatchewan Party MLA for Yorkton, said he was unable to attend the meeting personally due to a previous commitment to local school boards, but defended the discussion paper questions on Tuesday morning.
"Basically, we just want as honest and comprehensive information as possible," he said. "A lot of questions came from the public. The questions have been crafted around concerns that have been raised before. They are not coming from government per se."
Forbes doesn't trust that kind of answers fear that existing workers' rights could lost through the process.
"We know the government has said, "Oh, they're really not on the table," but then we ask, "Why are you asking."
Another major point of contention was the time period allotted to consultation.
"Workers have fought, bled and died for [fundamental rights and protections] and I'll be damned of I'm going to let the Sask Party take them away in 90 days," said Bryn Burgess, representing the Saskatchewan Government and General Employees Union (SGEU).
Ottenbreit said the timeframe is really closer to a year.
"Really, it's not 90 days," he said. "This started a number of months ago and it will be debated throughout the next [legislative] session as well. It's ample time for people to get their information in."
The information from the Yorkton meeting, along with comments gathered from eight other stops on the Official Opposition Labour Review Consultation Tour will be presented to the government when the legislature reconvenes in October.
Wendy Sol, representing the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada (CEP) called on the government to not only protect existing rights, but to make Saskatchewan a leader in labour legislation. Among her proposals: raise minimum wage to poverty line and tie it to the cost-of living index; become first North American jurisdiction to implement a 35-hour work week; entrench pay equity for women and; allow workers to refuse work after 40 hours.
Aaron Nagy made an impassioned plea in support of Forbes' private member's bill requiring that "all gas station, convenience store and other retail store workers working overnight need some form of protection either via a fellow co-worker or protective barrier."
Forbes introduced Bill 601, An Act to amend The Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993, (The Jimmy's Law Act) in response to the murder of Jimmy Wiebe in June 2011. Wiebe, a good friend of Nagy, was shot in the head by a robber while working overnight in a gas station in Yorkton.
The deadline for submissions was July 31, but the NDP is determined to get the results of its tour in front of the government.

Online Reservations
we had such a nice time. the service and food were wonderful. great view of the harbor.
The clam chowder is excellent! Take advantage of the lunch specials...we loved the garlic shrimp with wild rice and the fish & chips. The view from their nice tables or comfy booths is breathtaking. The view combined with a classy delicious meal makes this hard to beat!
A great view of the Fisherman's Wharf area awaits you on the upper dining level. We looked out on a channel where fishing boats docked, and could see see Ghiradelli Square sign. We were also entertained by a sea lion the swam in and out of the channel. The Boston clam chowder had an interesting taste, different than the traditional New England clam chowder, The Caesar salad was equally tasty. The Pacific Rock Fish was prepared to order, and the Bouillabaisse broth was worthy of being sopped up with several slices of their sourdough bread. No room for dessert, but the cappuccino was a dessert in and of itself. Price for two, with two glasses of wine was $100 before tip.
Wonderful view of marina and Golden Gate Bridge. We had crab cioppino and it was great. Ordered it "lazy" -- crabs were already cracked.
My husband and I ate lunch at Alioto's 8 two weekends in a row. We had window tables both time with a view of the bay, the Golden Gate bridge and some shipping boats. We were even able to watch the start of one of the Louis Viutton races. I had the cioppino and it is fabulous. I also had the boulibase, also terrific. Both times we had a slice of the moistest chocolate cake with creamy frosting set over a yummy pistatio sauce. Oh my, is this a good restaurant. The servers were excellent. Alioto's serves non-alcoholic Beck's which is delicious.
Being a native San Franciscan, I try to avoid Fisherman's Wharf for dinner. My dinner companion wanted to try the Wharf to celebrate my birthday since he had not been there for some time. I made a reservation on Open Table and was very pleased that we were seated at one of the best tables with a gorgeous panoramic view of the harbor and Golden Gate Bridge. Our waiter was very attentive and suggested the Sicilian calamari as an appetizer. It was delicious! Lobster thermador was also excellent. Needless to say we were very pleasantly surprised and delighted with our dining experience on a busy, summertime Saturday night. I would recommend Alioto's to tourists and locals for the food and view.
Vacationed with my family of five in San Francisco. This is the second time we have been here in the last two years. Reserved a table for 5 with a view of the Golden Gate and table was ready at the moment we walked into the restaurant. Service was very good and each of the five meals did not disappoint. Some others have said that prices were on the high side, but for the quality / quantity of food as well as the service and the view, I would have to disagree. Would certainly recommend to anyone. If you need to park your car in one of the neighboring garages, the restaurant will validate your parking receipt so you do not have to pay the parking fee.
My wife, son and I had a wonderful dinner during our short visit to San Francisco.
Alioto's is always special to us: my wife and I live in Texas, but we grew up near San Francisco and remember Alioto's from the 1950s. A return to Alioto's is always a special event. This year (as usual) the food was wonderful food, the service was friendly and professional, and our table gave us a fabulous view of the harbor and the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a perfect way to celebrate our 47th wedding anniversary--all the more so because our daughter (who lives on the East Coast) was able to join us! Alioto's provided us with a lovely family experience, and served me the best fish dish I had during our two-week trip along the Pacific Coast (from San Diego to Mendocino County). (My wife and daughter were also delighted with their meals.)
This seafood restaurant offers a great view, great service, excellent menu options and delicious food.
Alioto's is a long standing restaurant right on the wharf that has maintained quality food and service.
this is how a great restaurant is run...professional on all levels
For a relaxing break with good food and service go upstairs to Allioto's. Try and get a table by a window for a relaxing view of the ocean and it's activities. Service was prompt but not warm. The food was hot and delicious.
This was a great place for lunch! No matter where you sit upstairs, there's a view! Service is excellent and the food was delicious!
all I can say is through the last 50 years when in san Francisco I never miss Alioto's.
The food is a little pricey, but the view and service were great. We got to see the America's Cup catamarans while enjoying the food and wine.
Hadn't been to Alioto's for many years and was worried that food and service had gone down hill .. but, to our surprise, everything was wonderful ! The waiter was excellent, and very engaging .. made some wonderful suggestions! Wine list is very good and prices are pretty fair. The seafood was excellent, and bread was good SF sourdough! We had a wonderful view of the harbor, and the experience could not have been better. Would not hesitate to visit again !
Even though we were very late arriving for our 5:30 reservation due to traffic, the restaurant accommodated our party of four quickly. Service was a bit slow, but the food was wonderful and we had a table by the window which afforded us a great view of the bay. The Italian wedding cake was out of this world!
We had a birthday celebration for our son at Aliotos. The server was personable and his appetizer and dinner suggestions were "spot on"! The food was nicely prepared and delicious. We definitely will return.
We come up from So-Cal every year and eat here. Always great food and service.
Yes this is a tourist area, yes it's very expensive, but for excellent service, good food with proper portions and a great view, you cannot pass up a chance to dine here atleast once. My family and I had a wonderful dining experience at Alioto's.
The Fisherman's Wharf atmosphere continues into the restaurant. The food and service were excellent. I will definitely be back on my next visit to San Francisco
We have dined at Alioto's a number of times over the years when we visit San Francisco, and it continues to be excellent. Other than having to wait 20 minutes for a table even though we had a reservation, the service was outstanding, and the food was excellent. Some of our party had fish and some had veal dishes, and everyone loved their meal. We will definitely go back in the future!
Excellent experience, Great food, Great service just right with a scenic view of San Francisco and the olden gate bridge..We had a very nice evening
This was an amazing lunch. The food was a little bland for our liking but the service was beyond amazing and the view was spectacular. We looked out on the bay and could see the Golden Gate Bridge many boats seals and lots of people. It was so much fun.
The restaurant has wonderful views and great service/food
You have the choice to dine downstairs on the patio or upstairs in the restaurant. I chose to go upstairs away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd. The views are great, the staff is absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable. The food is outstanding! We had the Petrale sole and the crab and eggplant linguini but began with a cup of lobster bisque. I should have ordered a bowl! The wine list was extensive--if you want it, they have it. I did not have room for dessert, so I cannot comment about it. But if you are down at Fisherman's Wharf, please visit Alioto's.
Good service, but because of location at Fisherman's wharf, they let you know that you were finished. They want those tables!
The service and food were excellent! I wish the view was more of the bay but it was very nice. It is fine dining but you can dress casual. This restaurant has two stories - the lower level or street level is casual and the upstairs is fine dining. Seafood is wonderful!
Service was unbelievable, food was amazing. Will come back every time we are in SF. Might even become one of the reasons to cine back to this great city.
We went expecting a great seafood dinner and got it. It was very fairly priced. We followed the waiters recommendations, they were right on target. Very satisfied overall.
Great views. Good food. We had not been back to Alioto's in years because it had become a tourist trap. But a friend recommended we try it again since it had new ownership. Glad we did. They have returned some if the old luster. Attentive waiter. Great fish. Best views of the Golden Gate Bridge of any restuarant in SFO. Will definitely return.
The Crab Louie was as good as recommended. The Sicilian calamari was excellent.
Alioto's has always been a favorite. Consistently good whenever I eat there. Our waiter (and staff) were superb...very attentive, pleasant, offered good recommendations. It is a good San Francisco experience! Thank you!
Food and service were fantastic, and the view of the marina and Golden Gate Bridge was beautiful. Third time dining here and will definitely come back when in San Francisco.
This restaurant is in a great location right on the Wharf (Pier #8). We (party of two) arrived 4 pm on a Friday (reservations), window table and a beautiful view of the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge. Service was first rate, repeatedly filled water glasses, very attentive, etc. Raw oyster appetizer was average in size and tasted good (sweet) - although not memorable. Shrimp/prawn/crab cocktail appetizer was average size and very good. The lobster thermador was out of this world; same with the dish the restaurant is known for - Cioppino. House cabernet was very good. Beer was ice cold and served in an iced mug. Sourdough bread was fresh and very good. I would definitely return for a special occasion (albeit ready to pay the premium).
Never been to aliotos before. ..was very much looking forward to it and I wasn't disappointed! Great food good service all in all a meal to remember.
Welcoming staff, attention to every detail, great seafood,
My boyfriend and I just loved Alioto. From our waiter, to the food to the gorgeous view- everything was outstanding.
We are long-time residents og San Francisco, and Alioto's is one of our favorite restaurants down at the wharf. Quality fresh seafood, lovely views and ambience. The Host was very cordial and friendly and our waiter was excellent.
Always love going to Alioto's during crab season when I'm in San Francisco. Fresh crab and great service. Love it.
You can't go wrong at the opening of crab season with a table by the window at Alioto's. Fresh crab, crisp chardonney and a great 4:30pm view of the Golden Gate and a great sunset. No wonder tourists like to travel thpousands of miles to see and experience it. Our group of 6 only had to travel 40 miles. Wonderful afternoon.
It is always a treat to go to Aliotos's. This is "old school" Italian at it's finest. Our waiter Sean made a great wine recommendation to go with the amazing Ciopinno and grilled swordfish. The view is unbeatable and the service first class. The food is classic and done well. I consider this Ciopinno to be the benchmark that I judge all others. I haven't found any better. The wine list is also well suited to the menu with good choices at all price points. If you want classic Italian food with impeccable service and a great view, Alioto's is the best choice in san Francisco.
This was my first non-turkey Thanksgiving, although Alioto's offered a prix fixe turkey menu. I dined with my two teens; we enjoyed crab, lobster, calamari, swordfish, and shrimp. Service was excellent; two salads, three dinners, two sodas, and one martini came to $104.00 before tip. Well worth it for a holiday night out. Bonus - we found a lot that had free parking for the holiday. Just another reason to love San Francisco.
We went for Thanksgiving Dinner. I was the only one who had the Traditional Turkey Dinner. The rest of my family had seafood. The Turkey dinner was just OK. The rest of our dinners were up to their mormal level of quality which is very good. There was only one error in service as I was offered a choice of either salad or clam chowder I ordered the salad but said I would like a cup of chowder on the side also but it was nevr beought to me. The food is very good and the service is also. It is a little pricey but look where you are Beautiful view of Golden Gate and marina
We came for Thanksgiving dinner and everything was fabulous! The hostess was lovely, the serve staff was wonderful and the food was delicious. I will definitely eat her again the next time I visit San Francisco.
Food is excellent !!! Crab soup and roasted crab was amazing, very friendly service and reasonable prices. You can have a compete course for two with less than $200, Next time we visit San Francisco, we will back there.
We went for our Thanksgiving dinner and had a great time. It was bustling. The servers were totally attentive. The food was very good. The presentation of the food was very plain. All around us were happy and enjoying their food and experience.
Restaurant was very busy so highly recommend reservations. Service was first inattentive (had to ask for bread) and progressed to very good by the end of the evening. Seafood was well prepared and delicious. View of the Golden Gate Bridge and fishing boats docked at the pier from our table was very nice.
We had dinner there this past weekend after Thanksgiving with the family. The food and service were perfect. Recommend this experience to all your friends.
