About this business

Eating seafood comes naturally when you see Waterbar's beautiful view of the bay and the Bay Bridge. Tanks display the fish available for eating and there is a large raw bar in the dining room. The seafood is sustainable for clear conscience eating. Try pressed lobster or whole oven-roasted petit local halibut. There is a full bar to complement your meal, and valet parking is also available.

Excellent food... the filet is beyond amazing! I'd have a reservation though- even with multiple bar tables open where the staff could have made us feel us welcomed they simply said your best option is the bar if you don't have a reservation. We could have been directed to a vacant table to start our adventure... minus that I loved it

The selection of oysters was second to none. The other dishes were just as wonderful. View of the bridge and bay were only second to the food. Great service. I've eaten at a lot of great places, but this was in the top of the pack. If you want truly great food and the San Francisco warff experience this is place.

I drove in from LA on business. Had to stretch my legs and came across this place on my walk. Couldn't of asked for a more perfect spot. Looking at the Bay Bridge, ocean, sailboat cruising in the distance. I wish I could post the picture I took. Food was excellent. I had the crab cocktail - beautifully presented and the octopus. Beautiful glass of crisp rose Chandon. My dog was at my feet... perfect way to end the drive.

Our go to spot in the City for all things oyster. Order up the $1s, then follow with your waiter's recommendation. You won't be disappointed.

Let me start with the location and the service was amazing. Couldn't ask for better. But sadly we were disappointed with the food. The beef steak my man got was raw in the center and he ordered Medium. It also had a lot of gristle in it. The flavor was a little off also. My lamb rib lets we're great. Loved them. And then we meant to share the oven roasted beets but the yogurt topping did not pair well with them so we left most of those behind. I was expecting to love this place but was sadly disappointed. 

Business response:

That's unfortunate and sounds like an off night. Maybe we can make up for it next time, we appreciate the feedback and we'll let our kitchen know.

Lite lunch. A dozen oysters and a bottle chardonnay and a little fagua. Great view.

Beautiful...our food was only good, not great, and it was served cold! NOT good. 

Business response:

Not good at all! Thank you for letting us know. I'll pass it along and hope to see you again soon.
