   The ambiance is nice but the noise level is high. It is a bit hard to have a business conversation. We don’t need to yell to be heard but we certainly need to dial up our volume. The food is wonderful and the fish is nice and fresh. Overall I would recommend it

   WaterbarResponded 1 day agoWe thank you for the feedback Montana. We are not a quiet restauarant, but, we try to keep things to a moderate level. We understand it can be frustracting. We hope to welcome ypu back soon. Best regards, Rich T.

   Everything about our experience was wonderful. The views of the bay bridge outside and the huge aquarium inside were stunning. The service from everyone was excellent, especially our waiter Jeremy. He explained each dish and ensured that what I ordered was entirely gluten free (I am celiac). He recommended a delicious wine. The food itself was beautifully presented and every item was absolutely delicious. I can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough.

    Went here for a bday celebration. The views of the interior and exterior of this restaurant are unmatched. I suggest making a reservation as they easily fill up. Best dining experience in San Francisco. The dinner rolls and Wagyu course were absolutely divine! The service is 10/10. Food 10/10. Drinks 10/10. Highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions.

    Waterbar is big, busy, boisterous and delicious, with a stunning view. Guests with their backs to the windows can still enjoy the view due to mirrors on the wall reflecting the scenery. Next time we go there, I’ll request the Aquarium Room.

    We loved our waiter and the setting is lovely. It feels quite special to be there. I was a bit disappointed in the food, however. I had the tuna, which was overcooked and, well, a bit boring in its plating -- no happy bursts of flavor. My friends ordered other things, and they all seemed happier with their meals.

    Everything was great with the exception of the level of salt in our meal. The three of us each had the sole. Two main dishes and one on top of the a salad. I specifically asked the waiter to ask the chef to eliminate salt, that is no added salt. Each of our dishes came and we all had the same experience that the fish was extremely salty. Even the guests who didn’t ask to hold the salt felt the salt on the dish was overpowering and unfortunately effected the taste and enjoyment of our otherwise delightful lunch. We asked the waiter to share our experience with the chef. Waterbar is fantastic…what’s with the over-salting? Thanks for listening!

    WaterbarResponded on January 19, 2023Thank you for the details Cynthia, Sorry that the food was over salted and we will share with Chef...You are correct... What's with the over-salting? We are going for flavorful, not overwhelming the ingredients with salt. We hope to welcome you soon, Best, Rich T.

    Beautiful outdoor patio with view. Food great.......when it came. One entree arrived cool, nearly cold. No one came to check on our group seated on outdoor patio. People with hot food finally had to eat while their food was still hot while diner with cold food waited and waited and waited. He finally went inside to find server to take away his plate which by now was very cold. A replacement meal arrived for him much later, after others had already finished. So he ate alone. Comped his dinner? Nope. Comped his dessert (and it was his birthday)? Nope. Will we be coming back? Also nope.

    Food was great, views are great but my only complaint is it was a bit loud. Very hard to hear the people at your dinner table as the dining room sounds are very loud so you can’t hear the music in the background. Instead you hear the crowd chatter in the building. So it would have been a better calming dinner experience if the dining areas had some more sound proofing.

    WaterbarResponded on January 19, 2023Thank you. Yes, we understand and we are on the loud side with the brick and high ceiling. Best, Rich T.

    Our evening at Waterbar last night was wonderful from start to finish. We were entertaining a friend from out of town. The service was attentive and helpful. We were not rushed at the end of the meal even though the restaurant was very busy. The food was excellent -- the petrale sole and the black cod preparations were delicious. We started with oysters and ended with the cheese tray. The cheese tray could have been more generous and the meal was expensive, but worth the experience. Of course the view of the Bay bridge at night was stunning.

    What more can I say about my happy place? I was determined to go for dinner so I could have the crispy veal sweetbreads. They were worth the trip. They had a wonderful coating and were very tender inside. This was only my second non-seafood dish at Waterbar and am very glad I strayed from the norm. I followed that with the sea bass. As always they cook fish to perfection. Our party of four was served by Taylor who was also perfection. Valentina came over to say hello, as did Tate. The entire staff really knows how to make me feel welcome along with my friends. I think I need to do more dinners in addition to my regular lunches.
