Very nice, Cool and romantic atmopshere, especially if you're able to get a table at the start of sunset. Our server was very attentive and even though this is something small, the bread was delicious! Lol We had a steak and a pasta dish, and
If you're looking for a place to impress out of town guests
If you're looking for a place to impress out of town guests with definitely add Waterbar to your roster. There's a reason why Waterbar has been around for several years. It's a beautiful restaurant with fantastic views that are hard to
Went for lunch with a group! Second time here.
Everything was great expected a bit more on the portions. Very attentive service, the deep fried eggplants were so tasty. Get the fish it's their specialty and don't forget the chocolate cake
Great view .
Pricey if not happy hour. Felt touristy due to price. Food not memorable for the $$. Service was effecient .

Terrible food bugs everywhere false advertisement on the menu lying about menu Bad service bug in my water dirty table makes people cough
Great spot for happy hour.
I realized that you don't need to make a reservation for the happy hour (this is located in a separate patio space/bar area that is walk-in). The oysters are flavorful at $1.55 per piece. Wines are $9 per glass. Ceviche was just okay, but not ba
Dam mid food.
the meat was dry and the service was bad for SF. Expensive and the staff was horrible.
I ordered a mojito, ceviche, and oysters.
The oysters were good. The mojito was entirely lime juice with a hint of rum. Next, we had the halibut ceviche which was far from traditional and very different from how it used to be at waterbar. The ceviche was flavorless, an unseasoned halibut acc
We loved being able to watch the boats going by, great view.
Our server was very helpful with suggestions and descriptions. Started with the Milkbread which was delicious with the herb butter. The dungarees crab frittata was amazing. Such a lovely lunch!

While on vacation, me, my brother and his friend celebrated a birthday here for dinner. Food was delicious! I had the porkchop which was tasty but because their complimentary bread was so good, I was stuffed! We also had baked oysters and smoked salm

YES! Great crab cocktail, great views, great service, and delicious drinks. Second or third visit here. Made up slightly for the missed Valentines day dinner reservation (flight to SF canceled ). Want to return the minute I leave.
Excellent seafood with a million-dollar bay bridge view.
The baked oysters are out of this world and the pan fried black cod is simply amazing! Service was great and the ambiance is intimate.
The food here was so good, like really freaking good.
The swordfish was out of this world, the beans and zucchini with this dish really added that pop. The service was great, we had lots of questions and our server was very helpful and witty. The ambiance is great, it's right near the water which i

We made a reservation well in advance and arrived early, only to be seated outside the main patio in the cold -- at two mismatched tables of different heights -- while empty heated tables sat under the canopy. When I asked the man in the blue suit at
The food is not worth the price.
I ordered a tiger shrimp cocktail and it specifically stated that it was chilled. They brought out the shrimp in a regular bowl with a slice of lemon and some cocktail sauce. When we asked about it being chilled they stated that chilled meant refrige

I've been hesitant to write this review since I visited Waterbar last month, as until then it was one of my favorite SF restaurants. Unfortunately, I have an allium allergy, which I described in depth in both my reservation notes as well as to m
Great service, nice location, tasty food
Went for a dinner with my team. Very nice location, yes it s touristy area, but food was great and so was the service. Our waiter / Jeremy - was friendly, professional and provided great advices. All the food we had (oysters, sashimi, fish dishes( wa
Perfect seafood in the heart of San Francisco
we had lunch outside with good views of the Bay Bridge park-like surroundings. The food was excellent (whole Dungeness Crab) and they had a great wine list. The service was perfect and very friendly.
It was wonderful.
From the beginning to the end. My partner got the blue water fish (I think that's what it was called) it had delicious fritters. The seasoning was perfect. We also ordered the milk bread, was really good, a bit salty on top but easy to brush off
Sigh... I should've listened to the middling reviews. Why
Sigh... I should've listened to the middling reviews. Why do ppl eat here? Is it just tourists? The location is awesome but the food was so bad. Service was okay, restaurant itself is pretty. Prob better for drinks?
Excellent - something special with a view
Just waited shortly at the bar with some Drinks. It was exzellent. After that we had oysters and fish. The food was great and also the service. You should make a reservation

Loved our waiter - he helped us pick out our raw oysters, and we were especially impressed by the Olympia, which we learned takes 5 years to grow to the size of a quarter! They packed a lot of flavor into their bite! The baked oysters with gochujang
Good meal, great view, decent service.
A little overpriced but worth it for the ambiance. Limited gluten free options but the kitchen was willing to accommodate with more veg.
Beautiful view of the Bay Bridge and the food was nice.
They pride themselves as wine experts with three sommeliers on staff and an extensive list of wines ranging into the thousands of dollars, but their respect for wine is a bit of a joke. We ordered a bottle of modest rosé. When the server uncorked
The Best MANAGER. Delicious food. Chris was amazing. View couldn't be beat.
Waterbar was absolutely phenomenal. Easily in our top three favorite restaurants out of all the luxurious places we've ever been. We were celebrating our honeymoon and were treated to a huge velvet booth all to ourselves, which made the evening
Overpriced oysters
My experience at Waterbar was disappointing. While the view of the bridge is stunning, the food and drinks were not worth the high prices. A dozen oysters cost an outrageous $60, and the Mango N5 cocktail, at $19, tasted like a watered-down mix of
Good. Not Great
Second time here. Even though I only gave my experience 4 bubbles (I'll explain below), I do love this restaurant. The location and ambience are unbeatable. Has a very festive and upscale feel. If you have visitors in from out of town, it's
My experience as a single diner was impeccable.
I really appreciated that I was greeted and seated with a warm welcome, and that my request to be in the bar was acknowledged. The food and wine were delicious, and the view was amazing! My server was a pro - attentive, friendly and genuine. I will

Food, 4 1/2 stars Service, 5 stars Ambiance, 6 stars Oysters were good but on the small side. Cod was excellent!. Happy Hour Margaritas was a glass filled with ice. The patio view can't be beat. Excellent!

I haven't eaten there yet but so far its a huge inconvenience trying to talk to a representative. They gave a AI call person and I've been on hold on both phones for over 30 minutes just to ask a couple simple questions. So far not looking
Go for the view not for the food
You’re paying for the view of the Golden Gate Bridge as you dine. Save yourself hundreds and just walk the trail and visit the food trucks. Ambience is on, service is ok. Food is way overrated and way overpriced.
Not good enough
It looks nice, located on the water you get to see massive cargo ships go by. For outside seating they have heaters (you nee them here; it’s cold even in the summer) but inside is better. Open kitchen so you can see the organized chaos. The sommeli
Don’t go
Got too loud. Food came too long. Very limited selection. Overpriced. Will not come back. Regretted going there for my boyfriend’s birthday.
Food, service and cocktails were amazing.
Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Will defiantly come back. The views of the bay added such a great ambiance to our dinner.
Amazing location on the sf bay just near the bay bridge.
Lovely bar restaurant with a happy hour.

The ambiance was great with waterfront views of the bridge and indoor aquarium. There was a good selection of drinks and foods where we were able to enjoy every bit of our order. Service was attentive and friendly as well. Can't wait to go back!
The service was great, the staff was so friendly.
They have a happy hour that included oysters for $1.55. Drinks are around $10 during happy hour with a limited menu. If you go during happy hour, you may have to wait to be seated as they do get busy. The restaurant has a a great view of the bay brid
Great restaurant.

I would rate Water Bar 0 stars but for Tate, who stepped in and was our dining Cinderella. We came for Happy Hour and 1.55 oysters. We got there at 4:20 and didn't get seated til 5:05. I spoke to two blonde hostesses who told me "We will honor

For a special occasion! For any occasion!
Today is a very challenging day for me, as it was the day that my husband passed away 13 years ago. I chose Water bar because of the beautiful location and the happy hour. My husband and I loved oysters, and I knew they had a great Champagne list. I
Amazing place

The ambiance is wonderful, service good, and our drinks
The ambiance is wonderful, service good, and our drinks were good, however, thats all I can say that's positive. Our meals were mediocre at best and the seafood bisque was downright awful - it was lukewarm, consistency of wallpaper paste, tasted like

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Waterbar Restaurant San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Waterbar Restaurant San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Waterbar Restaurant San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Waterbar Restaurant San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
