The Waterfront Restaurant

I had a fantastic lunch experience at The Waterfront restaurant in San Francisco. The venue's location is a true gem, boasting an impressive view of the Bay Bridge and the lively waterfront, which was especially vibrant under the midday sun. The standout dish of my visit was undoubtedly the grilled salmon. It was cooked to absolute perfection, with a beautifully crisp exterior yielding to a tender, flavorful interior. The salmon was complemented by a light, refreshing sauce that enhanced the fish's natural flavors without overpowering them.

The ambiance of The Waterfront during lunchtime was both lively and elegant, striking a perfect balance for a midday meal. The staff's attentiveness and knowledge were commendable.

What made the meal truly memorable was enjoying it against the backdrop of the bustling San Francisco Bay, with boats gliding by, adding to the dynamic yet relaxing atmosphere. The Waterfront is a must-visit for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in San Francisco, combining exquisite cuisine, superb service, and a view that's hard to beat.

Lovely view of the bay Bridge while you are having a meal with loved ones. I like that the bathroom is clean, and great customer service

Amazing fresh food! Quiet atmosphere, Extrmely friendly and quick staff, food is delicious and comes within 5-10 minutes, loved it!

The service was excellent- super friendly and fast. The food was amazing. I had the beet, spinach and goat cheese salad to start and had the sea bass as my main- highly recommend! The hostess was so friendly and called me a cab on my way out. Great location, great food and great service.

100/10
By far one of the best fish plates we have ordered anywhere. The ambiance was very nice and the food was delicious. We came from out of town and mentioned it was my boyfriends birthday. The dessert was an apple crisp pie I believe. Super yummy! This is a must go to place. We will definitely be coming here every time we come to San Francisco!

The set up at the waterfront is absolutely amazing. Friendly staff comfortable seating great food I ordered the short ribs my girlfriend ordered the Salmon Scallops shrimp 🍤😋.. and of course the views at waterfront bar & grill absolutely beautiful! Definitely recommend it, If you're just passing through town or if you're a resident or a neighbor come in and enjoy 😉

Okay so I ordered the wagyu beef cheeseburger and a mixed green salad the dressing on the salad was most awesome my date had a salad and one of the pizzas I'm not sure which because I wasn't paying that much attention to what she said it was beautiful handmade pizza and tasted good as leftovers look like spinach on top to me. Our server was amazing I'm not going to tell you his name because I noticed they were all very good. I did give a generous tip in my opinion. We spent a little over $200 on everything including the bottle of wine that my dining partner consumed. The bottle the wine came in was so heavy and beautifully made the wine inside she said was excellent I don't remember the brand since I am not a consumer of alcoholic beverages. The server was extremely professional everything was done right not too many interruptions and we never sat with dirty dishes or anything on the table for more than a couple of minutes. The food possibly the best hamburger I've eaten in 10 years the bun was very nice perfect red onion and the wet toppings came in little ramekins. I swapped the french fries out for onion rings they were clearly made with Walla Walla Washington and we're obviously breaded in the restaurant themselves the breading was amazing these could be some of the best onion rings I've ever eaten. Knowing that just down the street they wanted $150 for a top sirloin steak this felt like a very bargain meal to me for San francisco. I highly recommend this restaurant by the way they are pet friendly. What a lunch it was amazing. By the way congratulations to this lovely couple they fell in love with Rona everyone loves Rona! It was their wedding day and they chose to share it with us because they fell in love with Rona!

Happy hour $2 oysters. Delicious everything.

The food is great and the view is also great. They added a lot of meat to the cheeseburger and everything was natural. 10/10. It was worth it.

This is really nice romantic place that you usually see in the movies with aristocratic servants and amazing ocean view. The atmosphere is great and staff is extremely helpful. The quality of the foods (we ordered seafood mix and king salmon) is of very high standard and delicious. But everything comes with the price, so expect to spend some money here, which I believe totally worth it.

Amazing experience and the food is delicious! I had the sweet butter poached main lobster and a tomato soup with crab crostini and it was excellent. The service was also very good, the food came fast and the waiters were also good. The views to the sf bay is very impressive!

We went for a dinner with friends. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was beautiful. We sat facing the bay and had the view of the bay Bridge. Peaceful and relaxed. Food was excellent 👌 😋.

Very nice service and food!!
Scene of the bay is magnificent ❤

Great experience, I was treated like a queen. Very curteous upscale service. Beautiful view of the bay Bridge. I ended up having the shrimp and crab salad and apple crisp. Everything was tasty and super fresh. Salad to entree prices ranged from teens to 30's. Great place to stop by and rest from shopping or traveling.

This place saved me around 3pm today from hunger and low blood sugar grumpiness. I was at the Exploratorium and wanted to eat something there but all their food service was closed... So I walked out and I found this fancy restaurant... And luckily they have happy hour time and there's this amazing margarita pizza I ordered,, which is ONLY $10! I had a great time there. Sorry to the bartender, he must have thought I was weird bc I sat at the bar with my water bottle, and I paid by cash and didn't tell him to keep the change (I gave $15) until I heard he was counting coins 😂😂😂😂

Note: this review is limited. My visit here was very brief, only about 30 minutes for a quick drink in between things. The drinks were good. (A bit strong for my taste, but others might not think so.) I ordered one appy to share. What I tried was tasty. Ambiance was cozy, especially with the Christmas decor. The service was great; friendly and accommodating. Everything was clean, including the washrooms. I sat in the waiting area as well as the bar. Both were comfortable. The restaurant itself is quite spacious. And of course the view was fantastic.
From my short experience, I’d definitely visit here again.

Came here for lunch and left feeling very satisfied.

The seafood is fresh - had the baked lobster and cheese baked oysters and both were very delicious.

Pizza is average, but the clam chowder is very flavourful.

Our waiter was very entertaining and cheerful.

The Waterfront has great views of the Bay Bridge and Treasure island. It has both indoor and outdoor seating available. The staff is friendly and helpful.

I had the Kobe beef cheeseburger and russet fries. The beef patty was succulent and juicy and tasted incredible! My wife had the king salmon burger with sweet potato fries. She raved about the flavor of the salmon patty. I had one bite and could see why. The salmon burger was awesome.

Now I have a dilemma. Next time for lunch I will have a hard time choosing between the two of them. Both burgers are awesome!

Delicious. Crabcakes amazing. Scarlett
loved the pizza and the ice cream. The crab cakes were 100% crab. Service was friendly. Spectaular view. Scarlett said, " Daddy has to bring me here often."

I dine alone and enjoy my day of life because I celebrate me! Cancer free!! All in one year I got diagnosed, went treatment and get well and is all about the power of prayers works and I got heal. So I celebrate life by myself and enjoy a wonderful crab and shrimp salad. The wait staff so nice, so good service and I will take my boyfriend here soon 😊 ☺ ❤ 😀
