  • 5/5 Psychic Medium Andrea K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience, I was treated like a queen. Very curteous upscale service. Beautiful view of the bay Bridge. I ended up having the shrimp and crab salad and apple crisp. Everything was tasty and super fresh. Salad to entree prices ranged from teens to 30's. Great place to stop by and rest from shopping or traveling.

    We went there on Mother's Day, party of 3, we were seated within a few minutes without having a reservation. We ordered 2 entrees and 1 appetizer with water just to drink. The food was less than overwhelming. The pizza we ordered looked like a frozen dinner and tasted as such. The burger and fries were just ok. The fries had a cinnamon taste to them and the brussel sprouts with bacon were not fully cooked. For the price of their food, I would have expected better food. The waiter's never came by to check on us or see if we needed any refills or wanted dessert. They looked short-staffed, which was understandable for Mother's Day, but the 4 ladies that were seated next to us whom arrived after us were checked on at least 3-4 times.

    Beautiful waterfront restaurant. I went for a quick lunch after traveling from Florida. I had a glass of prosecco which you can never go wrong and the burger w/ fries which was so delicious and juicy the fries were truffle and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was great, classy, quiet, clean and great efforts on all the staff that oversees the guests. I didn't picture the food on this visit but it was beautiful and plated nicely the pictures I posted were of the last row of tables inside facing the water. I had a perfect time here. No wait to be seated, clean restaurant, bathroom could've been cleaner/fresher but overall I reccommend this place.

    We stopped by on a Sunday in February for lunch. The restaurant, which has two main floors, only had one floor open. The restaurant is located between Pier 7 and Pier 9 and has a nice view of the bay from most tables. The restaurant also has a nice bar on the first floor. The interior is very nice and upscale. The menu has a good mix of dishes, and the fish selection is very good. We tried oysters and calamari, as well as other main courses as we were a party of six. All dishes were very tasty, well presented and prepared, and we had a feeling of high-quality dining. The wine menu is good as well, with a good selection of California wines, but also other regions and countries. The prices are actually not too bad for this location, given that it the restaurant is in the middle of the main tourist streak. The staff was very professional and friendly. We found the dining experience at the Waterfront very good, and it exceeded our expectations. If you are in the mood for fine dining and find yourself near The Waterfront we can highly recommend a visit. Ambience: 4/5 Staff: 4/5 Food: 4/5 Wine selection: 4/5 Price/quality: 4/5 (relatively high prices, but very good quality)

    The food was tasty and reasonably priced for a cocktail, glass of red wine, a salad, soup, and the seafood combination plate. The service was outstanding in seating and serving our meals. Both courteous and prompt. The atmosphere was magical on the best table in the house overlooking the bay, lighted in all of it's holiday splendor. We enjoyed our meal at 5:30pm. Perfectly time before our show at the Chase Center.

    I had the Halibut special, with artichoke and baby spinach - delicious! The fish was cooked perfectly. The selection of local oysters were also good, however my vinegar and shallots looked a couple of days old.

  • 4/5 Risto A. 1 year ago on Google
    Really enjoyed the dinner, food was good, what did it for me was the exceptional service and breathtaking view, The grilled seafood platter was excellent the rest of the food choices we had were ok. Also would recommend blankets to be given to anyone sitting in the patio area, February when I visited was very cold.

    Okay so I ordered the wagyu beef cheeseburger and a mixed green salad the dressing on the salad was most awesome my date had a salad and one of the pizzas I'm not sure which because I wasn't paying that much attention to what she said it was beautiful handmade pizza and tasted good as leftovers look like spinach on top to me. Our server was amazing I'm not going to tell you his name because I noticed they were all very good. I did give a generous tip in my opinion. We spent a little over $200 on everything including the bottle of wine that my dining partner consumed. The bottle the wine came in was so heavy and beautifully made the wine inside she said was excellent I don't remember the brand since I am not a consumer of alcoholic beverages. The server was extremely professional everything was done right not too many interruptions and we never sat with dirty dishes or anything on the table for more than a couple of minutes. The food possibly the best hamburger I've eaten in 10 years the bun was very nice perfect red onion and the wet toppings came in little ramekins. I swapped the french fries out for onion rings they were clearly made with Walla Walla Washington and we're obviously breaded in the restaurant themselves the breading was amazing these could be some of the best onion rings I've ever eaten. Knowing that just down the street they wanted $150 for a top sirloin steak this felt like a very bargain meal to me for San francisco. I highly recommend this restaurant by the way they are pet friendly. What a lunch it was amazing. By the way congratulations to this lovely couple they fell in love with Rona everyone loves Rona! It was their wedding day and they chose to share it with us because they fell in love with Rona!

    Excellent service, delicious food, and one hell of a view, but watch out if you're a drinker. Crazy prices! Food pricing is more in line with the ambiance and my Pan-Seared Scallops over Dungeness Crab Risotto was insanely good. I recommend bringing your own bottle of nice wine and just pay the $25 corkage fee to avoid the highway robbery of their wine and spirits menu. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed eating here. We'll be back!

    The food is great and the view is also great. They added a lot of meat to the cheeseburger and everything was natural. 10/10. It was worth it.

  • 3/5 LINDA A. 2 years ago on Google
    The service was excellent. The ambiance was nice. The only issue was the food. It was not horrible, but it was more on the bland side than I prefer. That was disappointing. I had such high expectations and left with my palate being underwhelmed.

    The service was excellent- super friendly and fast. The food was amazing. I had the beet, spinach and goat cheese salad to start and had the sea bass as my main- highly recommend! The hostess was so friendly and called me a cab on my way out. Great location, great food and great service.

    I had a fantastic lunch experience at The Waterfront restaurant in San Francisco. The venue's location is a true gem, boasting an impressive view of the Bay Bridge and the lively waterfront, which was especially vibrant under the midday sun. The standout dish of my visit was undoubtedly the grilled salmon. It was cooked to absolute perfection, with a beautifully crisp exterior yielding to a tender, flavorful interior. The salmon was complemented by a light, refreshing sauce that enhanced the fish's natural flavors without overpowering them. The ambiance of The Waterfront during lunchtime was both lively and elegant, striking a perfect balance for a midday meal. The staff's attentiveness and knowledge were commendable. What made the meal truly memorable was enjoying it against the backdrop of the bustling San Francisco Bay, with boats gliding by, adding to the dynamic yet relaxing atmosphere. The Waterfront is a must-visit for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in San Francisco, combining exquisite cuisine, superb service, and a view that's hard to beat.

    Note: this review is limited. My visit here was very brief, only about 30 minutes for a quick drink in between things. The drinks were good. (A bit strong for my taste, but others might not think so.) I ordered one appy to share. What I tried was tasty. Ambiance was cozy, especially with the Christmas decor. The service was great; friendly and accommodating. Everything was clean, including the washrooms. I sat in the waiting area as well as the bar. Both were comfortable. The restaurant itself is quite spacious. And of course the view was fantastic. From my short experience, I’d definitely visit here again.

    100/10 By far one of the best fish plates we have ordered anywhere. The ambiance was very nice and the food was delicious. We came from out of town and mentioned it was my boyfriends birthday. The dessert was an apple crisp pie I believe. Super yummy! This is a must go to place. We will definitely be coming here every time we come to San Francisco!

  • 5/5 Eric O. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing experience and the food is delicious! I had the sweet butter poached main lobster and a tomato soup with crab crostini and it was excellent. The service was also very good, the food came fast and the waiters were also good. The views to the sf bay is very impressive!

    Beautiful scenery and great service. Food was quite good although my friends sea bass wasn't cooked well at first..linguine was yummy with huge prawns!

  • 2/5 Veeraya P. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was meh at best. I get that it's right next to the water so it's expensive but I expected the food to taste better than this at this price point. The portion is tiny. 2 small crab cakes for $31. People raved about the view in other reviews but we were indoors (most tables were indoor) so there wasn't anything to see besides the next table. The service was good however.

  • 5/5 Julianna G. 1 year ago on Google
    Walked after a long flight. Felt very welcomed in my t-shirt and jeans. Waiters definitely know the menu and don’t try to upsale you on dishes, they definitely help you decide on your mood of food, which is nice since I’m a particular person with specific taste. I ordered the short rib in which was amazingly tender and my better half ordered the grilled salmon in which he loved, since he too has a hard time finding a good salmon.

    This is really nice romantic place that you usually see in the movies with aristocratic servants and amazing ocean view. The atmosphere is great and staff is extremely helpful. The quality of the foods (we ordered seafood mix and king salmon) is of very high standard and delicious. But everything comes with the price, so expect to spend some money here, which I believe totally worth it.
