Waterbar Restaurant

This place is as good as it seems: good food, great atmosphere and views. I liked everything we tried, the size of appetizers was very small though, definitely cannot go as a meal even for a “not a very hungry woman”.

My only wish is that their service to be a bit more chill and less intrusive. I know they are a busy restaurant and that their servers work hard. But I could feel that they were in a rush and sort of stressed out to do their job.

We took my mom here for her birthday and we had an amazing experience thanks to the great service from all the staff and scrumptious foods.

We loved 1.5 $ oyster deal which was also very fresh , we ended up ordering a lot for oysters lovers in our family. Each entree was perfectly cooked with full of flavors. The service was spotless, we felt very attended by multiple staffs. We will definitely come back to appreciate the experience again !

Came here for Easter, it was incredible! The staff was attentive and kind. Every dish we ordered was fantastic and well worth it. The desserts were the best I’ve ever had in a restaurant! Jaysen was always checking on us and making sure everything in the whole place was operating smoothly. Will certainly be back!

What a dining experience! Waterbar has it all- came for Easter brunch and we were seated along views of bay bridge, the service was friendly even though it was very busy, and the food exceeded our expectations. Ahi ceviche sooo good and the clam chowder was said to be the best he’s ever had. Coconut curry with the flounder was amazing, however the naan was still raw. Desserts were just divine- perfect cherry on top!

Beautiful decoration and delicious food with the view of the Bay Bridge. Has the shrimp, scallops and bread pudding for dessert and it was all delicious. Waitstaff was friendly and attentive. A little on the pricey side if that’s what you’re looking for. Would def come back here again. Oh and delicious oysters!

Solo dining experience. It was tremendous. I sat next to one of the grandiose fish tanks with a sleeping fish. Super cool.

The servers were so kind and helpful. The butternut squash rofolo was probably the most spectacular dish. I couldn’t believe it was squash. I couldn’t decide on a wine w my meal so the server suggested a flight. It was perfect.

I had an app, main, dessert and flight for $120 before tip. Well worth it!

Went to have a nice evening with friends last weekend. We were able to get a table on the patio, and had the most gorgeous view of the sunset with the Bay Bridge.

The food was fantastic. Everything we ordered was lovely. I had the stone fruit salad and the oven roasted Alaskan halibut. Both were fantastic choices! We also had bread for the table, which was very tasty. When we got our checks, we were treated to little cheesecake bites, and I immediately wished I had 10 more. I will go back specifically to order that cheesecake.

Service was excellent, the waiters were friendly and responsive. We always had drinks, and the food came quickly.

We rented a private room for my birthday 🎂. The staff and food service were absolutely fantastic 💯 out of 💯. My cousin is already planning her next birthday party there. It is a must visit spot if you have never been.

Had a great dinner date with the better half.

Reserved an inside table, but was a little bit disappointed that we didn't get to sit next to the cool aquariums.

All was forgiven when we had the food, though!

Started with scrumptious lobster bisque with a side of warm bread. The bisque had generous hunks of lobster and was topped with a creme fraiche that helped to mellow out the shellfish flavor. It was a tad strong on salt but that just made it go well with the sourdough bread.

Next was a scallop dish. Blast of flavor from the bacon (?) bits, finished with a slightly acidic sauce to bring the mouthful to a completion. Served with tiny carrots which helped provide additional texture and some sweetness.

Our main was the oak fired shellfish fettucine for two. It was quite a generous serving of fresh, sustainably farmed shellfish, which was nice (I appreciated the shrimp in particular), but the hero of the dish truly was the pasta. An immaculate sauce on glutinous fettucine.... topped with chives (I think?) which really rounded out the flavor with a punch of freshness that made us go through the plate like a tornado through Kansas. It was a big portion but I'm pretty sure I could have eaten another bowl of the pasta.

Despite the business of a Christmas season dinner, the servers were friendly and attentive -- quick to help with water, cleaning crumbs from the table, or providing clean silverware between dishes.

All in all, Waterbar was a great experience that I'd like to repeat in the future.

Fabulous ambience, great food and awesome service.. had the coffee crusted salmon as an entree and roasted cauliflower with blue cheese as a side.

Also, enjoyed the negroni here.

Service was impeccable and the water front views made the atmosphere very enjoyable too.

Would definitely like to visit again

Exquisite dining experience along the waterfront. The Swordfish was delicious. The ambience was warm and pleasant. Reservations are a must.

What a fantastic place for a romantic dinner! We visited for our anniversary and their attention to detail, service and the food were all outstanding! Jameson and the entire team of five people did a great job! Everyone from the greeters on wished us a happy anniversary. The seared scallops app was to die for and the selections of wines were as expected, outstanding! Afterwards, a walk along the water with stunning views of the bridge. Highly recommended! We will definitely be back. Thanks all for a remarkable experience! Enjoy! 🤙🏻

delicious seafood, salads and probably the best old fashioned I've ever had.

fantastic service and a great location.

atmosphere is very upscale which isn't my thing but it's not oppressive and I didn't feel too out of place for not pulling up in a Porsche.

An outstanding lunch. We ordered a rose and the GM (Rich) came out and said it hadn't been chilled so they were putting it on ice. In the meantime, he poured each of us a glass from a different (read better) to enjoy while the other one chilled. That's great service.

Did I mention the food and view were j6st as exceptional?

Great vibe and service! Superb view of the bay. Food is good - the tuna and sole were bland though. Daily oyster special is a great deal!

Came here for the $1.55 oyster special. Oysters were a little inconsistent in size but otherwise great. Came with a delicious apple mignonette.

Happy hours oyster is high price quality ratio. Highly recommend to enjoy a dozen with a glass of sauvingon Blanc with a great view of the bay bridge.

Excellent staff that went out of their way for us without asking. They heard it was our anniversary and gave us a complimentary glass of champagne and a dessert plate.

The food and atmosphere are off the charts. The dishes are delicious and presented beautifully. The outdoor seating is near the water, so you have great views. We also had a fantastic half bottle of Pinot Noir. Would highly, highly recommend this restaurant.

Stephan gave us the best recommendations and service. We had the tuna and the lobster roll with the chef special oysters. For dessert we paired the espresso martinis with the sticky toffee pudding 🔥🔥 a must try pairing and overall restaurant. Make sure to ask Stephan for the daily specials

Beautiful restaurant and bar right on the water. They had a large dining space with heaters out on the patio and it looked beautiful. We sat inside because you have to order a full meal to sit on the patio and we only came for wine. Our server and sommelier were great! Made the whole experience even better.
