Swan Oyster Depot is the counter offer for any request involving the Wharf, cable cars, and cracked crab. Take Muni to the Embarcadero, find the California cable car terminus, and ride the less-crowded car over Nob Hill to California and Polk, where you can line up for a stool at Swan Oyster Depot. Order enough cherry stone clams on the half shell, shrimp cocktail, and yes, cracked crab, and your guests may forget that they're not within spitting distance from Bubba Gump's.
