Not the best seafood.
Clam Chowder was OK
But Seafood Stew really bad.
Also bad opportunity to eat pizza

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.

Beautiful waterfront restaurant. I went for a quick lunch after traveling from Florida. I had a glass of prosecco which you can never go wrong and the burger w/ fries which was so delicious and juicy the fries were truffle and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was great, classy, quiet, clean and great efforts on all the staff that oversees the guests. I didn't picture the food on this visit but it was beautiful and plated nicely the pictures I posted were of the last row of tables inside facing the water. I had a perfect time here. No wait to be seated, clean restaurant, bathroom could've been cleaner/fresher but overall I reccommend this place.

Bay Bridge views with top notch service. Food was amazing. Ask for Emry as he was simply amazing and beyond attentive. We spent our 10th wedding anniversary there and he made sure it was phenomenal. Highest praise.
Thank you, sir.

A setting facing the bay, tasty and light cuisine. Pasta with seafood, without parmesan, and a Burger with very good Kobe meat. The proportions were also smaller, which for us was nice. Less waste.

Very relaxing spot for lunch. Attentive servers, well-prepared food, and a great view of Treasure Island.

Ate at Waterfront a few years back for Valentines Day Lunch. Great menu and the view of the Bay Bridge was amazing. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

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!

Visited for a quick meeting on Zoom prior to a business tour on the water.

While here, we sat outside and just had some bread, vinegar and a virgin sangria, and the staff was highly attentive.

I valeted my car which was so convenient! I probably was in valet for a total of two hours. Tipped the guy who was a dear, and will be back when I’m not presses for time.

Excellent service, delicious food, and one hell of a view, but watch out if you're a drinker. Crazy prices! Food pricing is more in line with the ambiance and my Pan-Seared Scallops over Dungeness Crab Risotto was insanely good. I recommend bringing your own bottle of nice wine and just pay the $25 corkage fee to avoid the highway robbery of their wine and spirits menu. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed eating here. We'll be back!

Good friendly service. Ordered grilled salmon which was cooked to perfection but only came with a tiny portion of good mashed potatoes. My co-diners were satisfied.

We stopped by on a Sunday in February for lunch. The restaurant, which has two main floors, only had one floor open. The restaurant is located between Pier 7 and Pier 9 and has a nice view of the bay from most tables. The restaurant also has a nice bar on the first floor. The interior is very nice and upscale.

The menu has a good mix of dishes, and the fish selection is very good. We tried oysters and calamari, as well as other main courses as we were a party of six. All dishes were very tasty, well presented and prepared, and we had a feeling of high-quality dining. The wine menu is good as well, with a good selection of California wines, but also other regions and countries. The prices are actually not too bad for this location, given that it the restaurant is in the middle of the main tourist streak.

The staff was very professional and friendly.

We found the dining experience at the Waterfront very good, and it exceeded our expectations. If you are in the mood for fine dining and find yourself near The Waterfront we can highly recommend a visit.

Ambience: 4/5
Staff: 4/5
Food: 4/5
Wine selection: 4/5
Price/quality: 4/5 (relatively high prices, but very good quality)

Waiter service was exceptional and the views were perfect. All of the food that we ordered was delicious and I recommend the crème brûlée for dessert.
