    Worst steak we have ever had - meat flavor missing only tasted garlic, Caesar salad bland but table salt / pepper helped improve it. Such a disappointment for a $300 meal!

    The staff were so kind and everything we ordered was DELICIOUS. The only thing I would say is to not advertise the bay bridge view for the table we sat at. There was a big tree and part of the building blocking any kind of view. Otherwise we loved it and will be back again.

    Service was basic. Waited over an hour for our meal. Server than asked if we wanted her to add the tip, which I thought was a little odd since we had mentioned we’d leave cash. Almost as if she didn’t believe us. Idk just thought it was ok

    Went here to celebrate a birthday. Exceptional service. Made us truly feel special. However, other than the wagyu steak everything else was truly underwhelming and not “epic”. Expected much much more based on the prices.

    First of all I wanna give compliments to our server Jesse!! He went above and beyond and even over exceeded our expectations!! Jesse, you made us feel so welcomed and we honestly felt like movie stars!! Your recommendations on the menu were 🤌. The food was top notch along with Jesse's vibrant personality. He was prompt, hilarious, and new all the right entrées to order. Not only was the food EPIC, the view was next level. At the end of the night Jesse had Eric the Manager on the floor come over to greet us at the table with 2 Minnie oreo cookie cheesecake bites!! What?!? 🤩 I can't say enough how much we enjoyed our dinner last night! I also wanna give a Thank you to the sweet Hostess Diana for her cheery smile and warm welcoming!! We will definitely be back sooner than later!! I'm still on cloud nine! Thank you for being Exceptional EPIC STEAK!!!

    The waiter was a wet sponge. Didn’t refill our drinks, and you nearly had to stand up from your seat and wave him down to get his attention. View is amazing. Steak was amazing. Dessert is lackluster.

    EPIC Steak restaurant was…well EPIC!!! The ambience in the restaurant, dimly lit lights, and an amazing view of the Bay Bridge!! I took my wife there for her birthday for dinner and she had no idea where we were going. She fell in love with the view. And the food was amazing!! She got the Ribeye, and mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. I had the salmon with fingerling potatoes. The food was amazing!! Would definitely recommend people checking them out if you’re visiting or if you live there and haven’t experienced it yet. Our server was increíble too, so attentive, fulfilling our needs. We couldn’t be happier. We’d definitely dine there again the next time we visit.

    I celebrated my birthday on Saturday March 18th, with my mother and friend. I found the restaurant online looking for a brunch spot that served Shrimp & Grits. We arrived late due to traffic but still in time for Brunch. Our server Michael was excellent pleasant personality. We ordered Shrimp & Grits and a BBQ Platter. I would of given the restaurant 5 stars but the Shrimp & Grits lacked Grits and oily. I would come again and try the Crab Cakes. The location and atmosphere was exceptional.

    This was our first visit to Epic after a few dinners at WaterBar. It didn't disappoint. The service was excellent, friendly and knowledgable. The food was spectacular. Shrimp cocktail, salads, the ribeye for me, salmon for my wife. Great sides and desserts. Every course was special, and the pace of the meal was comfortable, not rushed. We'll certainly be going back.

    I think I initially made a mistake by booking by a table in the informal bar area rather than the main restaurant. They quickly arranged for us to be moved and we couldn't have been looked after better after that. Outstanding.

    We had such a wonderful evening at Epic celebrating my daughter’s birthday. Amazing ambience, service, food, and overall experience. The view of the SF Bay is great from anywhere in the restaurant. Roger, our waiter, was the best. He had great suggestions for dining and drinks, and he provided outstanding service. We loved this place and can’t wait to go back.

    Sundays are always a bit tricky to dine anywhere since the chefs typically don't work. Steak was delivered dry with the drippings missing from the plate, requested indoor seating three weeks in advance but sat out in the patio under a heat lamp, most of which could be swallowed if the bill wasn't $500. But will return, probably was nothing more than an off night.
