Very good food but overly expensive, as evidenced by the amount of what appeared to be business/expense account diners.

Incredible experience. One of the best meals if a lifetime. Started with Chef's selection of oysters on the half-shell, then the seared ahi tuna, and finished with the sticky toffee pudding which may be the best dessert in San Francisco. And I haven't even mentioned the attentive wait-staff and the lovely view of the Bay Bridge. Hope to go back soon.

Everything was perfect- Oysters were chucked fresh and were awesome

Good food pricey but well served and tasty

For a seafood restaurant you would expect to get fresh fish.

First. The service was impeccable.
They have a wide variety of oysters. Order the daily sampler if your overwhelmed

Baked Fanny Bay Oysters and Roasted Moules Frites. AMAZING

We shared a desert the Sticky Toffee Pudding. Excellent

It was a great way wrap up hosting some friends who were traveling over the summer.

Excellent Manager. Good food. Overall, the best restaurant in San Francisco.

Posto davvero favoloso,arredato benissimo e alla moda,posizione fantastica con vista dell’oceano e del bay bridge (che visto la sera illuminato dai giochi di luce è pazzesco).
Cibo ottimo a parte uno dei dolci non molto riuscito.

Incredible views of the Bay. Only negative for some is that most menu options are seafood based but that’s what you should expect. What they do serve is very good. And service is impeccable.

Went to Waterbar due to reviews about Lobster Roll. Had shrimp cocktail and oysters at bar. Waiter was great. Drinks were excellent. Shrimp were large but need to be cleaned.

Got our table to find three of main courses they were out of including Lobster roll. Ordered our meal which took an hour. Next set of drinks were not made the same as bar. Because our meal was taking so long the delivered an free order of cold French fries. Meal finally came. After we ate and paid $300 we went some place nice and got a sandwich.

Pretty disappointing for our first day in San Fransisco

Won’t be back.

Wow! Oysters, lobster rolls and rose made this afternoon ridiculously perfect! A+++

Family lunch on a Friday. Two lunch sets, one lobster roll, some oysters and a local beer. Service was excellent, ambience was great, bang for the buck was un-beatable. Overall a winner. Will definitely return.

The food was amazing. Every bite of every dish was delicious! Very attentive service but a long wait for our main entree. A little expensive for our budget, but we had a gift certificate so we ended up paying what we would usually pay for a special dinner. I hope we can go there again sometime!

It was great

Everything was awesome!

What a great restaurant! Gorgeous view but the real star is the service and the food. Highly recommend for any occasion.

One of my favorites. Has never let me down!
Food and service are top notch.

We loved the location and the food was delicious. The server was very good as well. We were disappointed with the ambiance. The picture of the aquariums online were much more stunning than they were in reality.

I took my family to the Waterbar last weekend and had a great experience. We had a baby in tow and the waitstaff had a high chair and made us feel very comfortable. We sat outside and the waterfront view class set to the Bay Bridge is fantastic. I had the griddlecakes for brunch and a cocktail. Both were great. The salad was especially tasty. If it’s a warm day I highly recommend sitting outdoors. I’ll come back here again.

Jeffrey took great care of us. He knew the wine list and the menu very well.

Service was outstanding. Food was very good, but I thought the main courses offered (only 4) were just ok. Very pricey, but would recommend for a special occasion.

The staff went out of their way to provide good service. The food was delicious!

Everything was amazing! The service and food was perfect.

Water bar is an excellent restaurant and very professionally managed. Service was outstanding throughout our meal on a busy Friday night. My one issue with the restaurant is their highly limited menu. We combined two starters and two entrees for four people and were very happy. However, entree choices numbered about six, not enough for a restaurant where daily specials do not fill in. What they do, they do well, however. I also resented the reservation policy requiring a credit card and a $50/pp cancellation fee. This is not New York nor a restaurant with a limited number of tables.

If you get a table next to a window or one with a view then you will have a much better dining experience. However, when I took my out of town guest there, we were seated at the back table for 2 (very small table) in the corner with no view. We also had problems with the service. The dishes are very expensive for what you get.

Great views and ambiance albeit a bit noisy. Food was fantastic and portion sizes extremely generous. The crab salad was more than enough for two. My husband had two appetizers as his meal and was stuffed!

This was a special occasion and they did everything they could to make it perfect. Thank you so much! We greatly appreciated the beautiful view and excellent service.

Always one of my favorites to dine outside on a sunny day.

We met Rose who was fantastic and really made us feel welcome. She was fun and a delight to be around.

We had an excellent lunch celebrating our 58th wedding anniversary. The chef is very creative.

Thanks, it was a perfect moment and food was great !! Thanks again.

Absolutely Awesome as always. DO NOT CHANGE, DO NOT MODIFY Dont do anything. Everything is absolutely great, from the font host to everybody within....

Beautiful outdoor patio. Not much foot traffic in the promenade. Great view to Bay Bridge.

The view and the meal were both amazing!!! Highly suggest visiting the Waterbar and trying the Ahi Tuna.

Always warmly welcomed. Staff friendly, efficient, knowledgeable. Food fresh, creative, delicious.

Confusion on meat (

I have celebrated three out of the last six birthdays at Waterbar, and as always, this last experience didn't disappoint. Superb view, excellent food and service. My favorite special occasion destination!

I'm a regular visitor to Waterbar and have never been the least bit disappointed by anything there. The service is stellar and the food out of this world. My last couple of visits they've had fried green tomatoes on the menu. I've ordered them three times but this visit was the best. They have always been good but this time they were incredible. As was the calamari with lamb sausage. I'm going back next week with family members who are vegan. I can't wait to see what they serve.

Excellent clean fresh meal
David and Cesar were attentive
Perfect bday celebration
