Capurro's in San Francisco really seemed to have it all - high chairs, kids' menu and crayons. This made for a very "busy" lunch for me and very content parents who ate a two course meal with few disruptions.
The hostess sat us quickly, bringing over all the baby essentials and menus. Two plates of fresh Budin sourdough awaited us, and I promptly got right to business. First order, methodically taking each crayon out of the box. Then, putting each crayon back in the box. I then dabbled with some coloring (although still a bit out of my fine-motor-skill-league). Turn the children's menu over, and a ship for coloring is on the back. I then helped myself to the already emptied oyster shells for some table drum circle before Mom botched that idea.
Dad ordered the full Dungeness crab meal which arrived with a generous serving of fusilli in marinara sauce as a first course. I welcomed his offer to share half with me and then completed my lunch with the sourdough and oyster crackers plus a string cheese and grapes that Grandma had packed me. (I have a feeling my dinner will look very green.)
My mom and uncle took advantage of the $12.95 lunch specials which included, among other selections a chowder bread bowl with Caesar salad and fish tacos.
Reflecting on my first trip to Fisherman's Wharf, I would definitely avoid the congestion and touristy spots of the main strip, walk down a bit more and satisfy seafood cravings while keeping baby entertained at Capurro's
