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.

Our server and bus boy were excellent, their service was outstanding. However, I think the quality of the food was below my expectations. We ordered the mussels, other than the fact that there were only 6-7 pieces of mussels ($15 or $17 I forgot), and one of them was a bad one. 

Business response:

So sorry you didn't enjoy yourself. We do our best to ensure everyone has a great experience, we would love to have you back and have a re-do. Apologies.

Noisy, very hard to carry a conversation. Most of their meals are salty. Over price too...Best thing is the view and decor of the restaurant and great service.That's about it! 

Business response:

Sad to hear you didn't have a good time, our restaurant is definitely not a quiet place. As far as the food, we appreciate the feedback and will relay the message. Thank you and hopefully we'll see you again.

Great place for lunch with a tremendous view of bay bridge. Food is delicious. Here is a tip: 1 dollar Oysters on Sundays!!! Not giving 5 stars because the place is very croweded. So expect long waiting lines for tables and somewhat rushed service.

The view, the food, the staff all were amazing. Took the wife for 30th birthday. They made her feel special all night. I thoroughly enjoyed myself the entire time. Seafood was super fresh and the flavors exceeded all expectations. Apps, main, sides, & dessert all worth it.

Talked up this restaurant to family. Went there for special celebration. Very disappointed. Oysters were tiney, tiny. Not worth $4.00 each. Oversalted entrees, small portions. For better quality there are too many other great places in SF. Will probably go somewhere else before returning for dinner. 

Business response:

So sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your experience. We'd love to have you back. Until then, cheers and best.

Great place with awesome view of bay bridge lights at night! Get ready to spend $40 or more per entre, plus sides. Food and wine were awesome, but only "bottled" beer, really....when bar is in your name...? Will do it again in a heartbeat once I have $200 in my pocket to burn for me and my lovely wife!!!
