Tasty Salmon Lunch At Yankee Pier SFO (Priority Pass Restaurant)

Matthew Klint Posted onFebruary 5, 2022February 5, 2022 18 Comments

My wife and I fast until noon, so when we arrived from Burbank into San Francisco ahead of our Lufthansa trip to Germany, we headed right for the Yankee Pier for lunch, still a great Priority Pass restaurant.

Yankee Pier SFO Review [2022]

During the pandemic Yankee Pier cut backs it menu significantly, particularly its selection of fish and seafood. Thankfully, there is at least salmon back on the menu and you can order a grilled salmon filet with roasted squash and herb chimichurri for $28.95. That’s a bit more than the $28 credit you have as a Priority Pass member (per-person, up to two people), but well worth it for a nice piece of fish.

We also ordered a Yankee Salad ($14.50) with a breast of chicken on side ($9.00). That ate up our free credit and we still had to tip, but this proved a better lunch than at the United Club.

My daughter liked the chicken so much she made a grab for it when the waiter placed it on the table. Not appropriate, my dear.

However, I found the chicken not especially interesting, but liked the crisp romaine lettuce and candied pecans in the salad.

Note, there are also new additions to the menu like breakfast available all day and a Beyond Burger.

If you’re not in the mood for a salmon filet, I also recommend the fish tacos, which include three tacos with grilled Pacific cod on corn tortillas with tomatillo salsa and cole slaw. Always tasty.

Finally, the coffee here is okay…there are better places in the airport, but the cappuccino was drinkable.

CONCLUSION

Yankee Pier remains one of my favorite Priority Pass restaurants. You cannot go wrong with either the fish tacos or the grilled salmon. Next time, however, I am going to try Mustards Bar & Grill, a new addition to the Priority Pass restaurant network, and will be sure to post a review.

    Mmm farmed Atlantic salmon with zucchini in December. Brown chimmichuri that’s been sitting in for 5 days. Gross. I’d rather starve.

    @Matthew, does your wife have her own PP card? I’m just wondering if they (or other PP restaurants) let you split the bill so that two PP cards can be used for 3 or 4 people.

    Of the other PP restaurants you’ve been to (not just SFO), which ones have had decent food and were “worth” the PP credits?

    • Matthew Klint Reply

      We just have one for now. So we only had $56 in credit.

    Wait, you’re intermittent fasting at breakfast? This from the King of Massive Breakfasts? Have I landed in some parallel universe?

        Correct. But I will say that when I break my fast at noon, I eat a large breakfast/brunch.

        I fast from 9pm – 12pm when I’m home.

          That’s skipping breakfast, not fasting. Intermittent fasting is 18-20 hours.

            You’re incorrect. I fast from 8pm to 12pm, which is 16 hours per day. Your 18-20 number is arbitrary.

    Question on my mind from a long time. I have PP from CSR and it allows 2 guests along with me to airport lounges. Does the same apply for airport restuarants. Meaning can I make a bill of $84 with two guests alongside me ?

      I was glad to see Yankee pier survive the covid shutdown and remain a member of PP. Dungeness crab roll is my go to here (I skip the roll made of forgettable bread). Even if you have limited time the servers at YP are great about getting the PP folks in and out if requested.

      @Ram each restaurant sets their own conditions & allowances you can view on the PP website. Some even allow take out using the benefit though you typically have to ask in person for that policy.

      The number of guests depends on the restaurant, but yes.

    Imagine how much more excited you would have turned if they actually had a chef trained in a recognized culinary school and served a salmon Wellington.

    Matthew, maybe crop your thumb out of the menu picture, or consider washing your hands once in a while. Disgusting paws.

    Hmm. Why does the place always smell like ammonia and rotting fish when I walk by?

    I walk right past that restaurant every single week, have never sat down to eat there. What I really miss is the Boudin bakery that used to be in the Terminal 3 food court, they moved it to the International side.

      I miss Boudin too. Grew up loving the clam chowder soup in sourdough bread bowl and the sourdough pizza.

On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.
