Sometimes at brunch you like a cocktail , but how about brunch IN a cocktail ?! The ultimate Bloody Mary here is two thick-cut bacon slices, and two jumbo prawns with a cocktail chaser. Read more
Waterbar has built a deliciously decadent experience atop a traditional bloody mary foundation, garnishing the drink with a seasoning of Old Bay on the rim, two whole slices of bacon , & jumbo shrimp . Read more
Beautiful location, with a view on the Bay Bridge outside and massive aquariums on the inside. Fresh seafood , attentive service , overall elegant vibe. Perfect for client lunches or parent visits.
While you will pay dearly to eat here, it is so worth it for the $1 oysters before 5pm & beautiful views . You can also see the dancing lights of the Bay Bridge from most tables. Excellent food & bar !
Came here on a Saturday for brunch . Nice ambiance and food is unexpectedly good. Wood Oven Baked Goat Cheese , Mascarpone Stuffed Griddlecakes, Grilled Flat Iron Steak are all very delicious!
This well touristed Embarcadero seafood spot does a brawny (and prawn-y) version of a Bloody Mary with Ketel One, a house-made spice mix, bacon , and a large Gulf prawn as garnish . Read more
The prawn cocktail was good and my main meal. My husband enjoyed the salmon . I usually order shrimp (without the head) or scallops at a seafood restaurant and they did not have any options for me.
Great view . Tasty menu. Good choice if wine . Attentive personnel. What else do you need for dinner with friends if you lover?! ???? very romantic if you sit near the window and look at the Bay Bridge ...
We love the classic Dungeness crab cocktail ($20), and are always looking for an excuse to splurge on their grand iced shellfish platter ($110) with crab , lobster , ceviche , prawns and oysters . Read more
Looking to shake up your Marin Miyagi routine? Waterbar is now serving Tio Point oysters , sourced from New Zealand. They're one of only four restaurants in the entire U.S. that offer them. Read more
Get there early (ideally around 3:30pm) to snag seats in the lively circular Oyster Bar with its large windows , or on the outside terrace with its more open bridge and bay views .
Besides having a spot on view of the Bay Bridge the food will surprise you! If you can get past the high prices you're in for one hell of a meal! Make reservations and valet your car save the hassle
Food is great. Dinner menu is much better than Brunch menu . Also the view at the end of the day is unbeatable. Oysters are delicious and fresh. Staff is so-so.
The Bay views are incredible! Fried Brussels sprouts are amazing. Loved the oysters , whole crab , and prawns .
The views are amazing, great place to watch the sun go down on the Bay . The food and drinks are good, like $$$$. Highlights would be Mole Spicy , and the calamari .
One of the places u should definitely eat in when in San Fran .. yummy food great view of the bay bridge great service. Don't even think about skipping dessert .
Try the $1 Oysters - #kvpinmybelly : Tasty #oyster special at @Waterbar. Fresh, creamy shellfish . Also loved trifecta of flavor with horseradish , hot sauce and cocktail sauce . NOM!
Snag a seat on Waterbar's patio , a perfect spot to dig into an enviable oyster list ($3.55 to $4.30) and raw bar selection whilst taking in waterfront and Bay Bridge views . Read more
Waterfront seafood restaurant . If you don't want to have your crab at fisherman wharf with all the tourist here you will enjoy tranquility where sf habitants come to brunch . Upper class
Specialties: Oysters ; whole lobster or crab (in live tanks); true cod preparations; any sashimi or ceviche ; any dessert . Read more
Beverage director Steve Izzo uses Heering cherry liqueur instead of the Maraschino cherries and club soda as a throwback. The benedictine is there to add a bit of an herbal aromatic, he adds.
Sit outside, order oysters and bubbles, and enjoy the view . This place gets bonus points at night for the stunning view of the bridge 's art installation.
$1.05 oysters before 5:30pm! Get there early to grab a table outside and enjoy the view , but there is open seating at the bar inside. The Tiger Lily cocktail wasn't memorable, it tasted like perfume.
A must try resturant ... perfect view ...perfect food ... must try definitely the oyster ... not like any where else ... the steak ... the soft shell crab ....
cocktails are amazing, oysters are a must. cannot emphasize the horchata ice cream sandwich enough!!!!
I go there fot eh great $1 oysters everyday from 11 am to 6 pm! The Sunday brunch has a $20 Proseco bottle with orange juice carafe . The rest of the menu is not super creative, overall good food
This is where you’ll sit on the waterfront , gazing up at the twinkling Bay Bridge while you slurp bespoke oysters . Read more
VERY safe and clean outdoor seating either on the patio with heaters or on the second floor with a view . Food is amazing as always.
$1.05 oysters on weekend brunch . Skip $16 ceviche for 3 bites of fish and shrimp . Crab cake sandwich and beer $20.
A great place to have a meal or drink in San Francisco with amazing views !
Sit at the bar and enjoy the view of the bay bridge at night with the amazing light show.
this place offers just some of the best views from town , its outdoorsy which is a plus, when the weather permits, also the Happy Hour : Every Day 1130a-6p (Oysters ); Mon- Fri 3p-6p (Drinks)
Amazing happy hour ! Super buttery oysters for $1 and delicious goat cheese dip
$1 oysters until 6pm every day + rose = Heaven BONUS POINTS: paired with some rose
Happy hour = $1 oysters (ish), meat skewers and a great martini ...by the water. Highly recommended.
Solid oysters . But get there for the $1 ones, otherwise things get expensive quick.
Oyster happy hours are very happy. Amazing selection, cool design and a great view .
The oysters are great. Just ask for whatever is fresh. The steak is surprisingly tasty but the kimchi that comes with it is not.
Has a nice, no reservation patio , the som is extremely welcoming, be adventuresome w your wine pairing with your oysters
excellent seafood and wine . dark romantic atmosphere .
Everything’s good and if you sit at the bar ask for Chris. He’s awesome.
Bass crudo m, soft shell crab , and Pike were incredible. Unlike many places of its kind, the view isn’t the only thing it offers.
You might have come for the waterfront view , but you'll never want to leave after you take a peek at this mouth-watering menu by Executive Chef Parke Ulrich. He's a CIA alumnus.
Great food, very friendly service . Good oysters . Great view
Superb weekday lunch deals ! $1 oysters !!
Oysters for 1.05 each every afternoon. Love this place
Even better now that you can see the Bay Bridge light show while sitting at the bar and at many of the dining tables!
Note to self: next time we’re back in town , we need to find a loved one to enjoy the ridiculous setting and oyster selection with so we can get our romance on.
Make your own mimosas are only $20 on Sundays. Bottle of prosecco and a little orange juice at brunch is perfect.
Perfect atmosphere for a work lunch , brunch , or a special occasion .
Wonderful view and super nice staff. The mimosas are a must. The Drakes and Capital oysters are the best! - Giselle Valdez
Always our reason to go into San Francisco, the place to meet friends at, and easy to find. Good food and great service. - steven kimbrough
I recommend the prawns in drawn butter, New England clam chowder and awesome sourdough bread. - James Teiser
Empanadas from El Porteño hit the spot, Cowgirl Creamery makes amazing grilled cheese, green milk tea with boba from Out The Door is the best. - Tina D
Aged RibEye and Wagyu Stake are the best. Save some space for any of the super awesome desserts - Jorge C
Food is great, drinks are strong, and the view is amazing. Great outdoor patio to hang out on too! - Monica Morales
