- Wilson Favre-DelerueJanuary 13, 2017Beautiful 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.
- Paula FarmerAugust 5, 2013While 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!
- Kat 🐱August 8, 2016Came 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!
- DJune 21, 2019The 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.
- Brian IbarraAugust 15, 2017Besides 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
- Anna DakhundaridzeJanuary 12, 2014Great 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...
- Tasting TableAugust 5, 2014We 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
- Fodor's TravelAugust 21, 2015Get 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.
- Chris MessinaOctober 31, 2014Beverage 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.
- Tasting TableAugust 5, 2014Snag 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
- Jessica GalianaJuly 9, 2017Food 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.
- Boshika TaraMarch 7, 2021The 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.
- Natalie BauerMarch 30, 2018The Bay views are incredible! Fried Brussels sprouts are amazing. Loved the oysters, whole crab, and prawns.
- Dave ZissouDecember 23, 2012this 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)
- Ms HeleneJanuary 13, 2020$1.05 oysters on weekend brunch. Skip $16 ceviche for 3 bites of fish and shrimp. Crab cake sandwich and beer $20.
- 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!
- Daniel StansellApril 24, 2017Sit 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.
- Areej AshourAugust 16, 2015One 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.
- Kimberly SSeptember 17, 2014$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.
- ArthurMay 20, 2013Waterfront 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
- 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.
- amanda brookeSeptember 12, 2017cocktails are amazing, oysters are a must. cannot emphasize the horchata ice cream sandwich enough!!!!
- Nahid AshriJune 25, 2014A must try resturant ... perfect view ...perfect food ... must try definitely the oyster ... not like any where else ... the steak ... the soft shell crab ....
- 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
- Annie TangJuly 7, 2016Amazing happy hour! Super buttery oysters for $1 and delicious goat cheese dip
- Eric DillieOctober 16, 2023A great place to have a meal or drink in San Francisco with amazing views!
- Solid oysters. But get there for the $1 ones, otherwise things get expensive quick.
- The Culinary Institute of AmericaDecember 14, 2012You 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.
- Jason SchulweisMay 8, 2019Happy hour = $1 oysters (ish), meat skewers and a great martini...by the water. Highly recommended.
- The oysters are great. Just ask for whatever is fresh. The steak is surprisingly tasty but the kimchi that comes with it is not.
- Kristine McLayMarch 23, 2019Everything’s good and if you sit at the bar ask for Chris. He’s awesome.
- Adam SeanSeptember 5, 2021Bass crudo m, soft shell crab, and Pike were incredible. Unlike many places of its kind, the view isn’t the only thing it offers.
- Alex StillFebruary 26, 2018Oyster happy hours are very happy. Amazing selection, cool design and a great view.
- Donna SAugust 16, 2014Has a nice, no reservation patio, the som is extremely welcoming, be adventuresome w your wine pairing with your oysters
- CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014Note 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.
- Donna NoviJune 9, 2013Even better now that you can see the Bay Bridge light show while sitting at the bar and at many of the dining tables!
- Laura BergerolOctober 23, 2013Sit at the bar and enjoy the view of the bay bridge at night with the amazing light show.
- Great food, very friendly service. Good oysters. Great view
- Dane HarriganJune 29, 2013Great food! The waiter suggested 2 drinks that were perfect. And the outdoor seating is really nice
- Make your own mimosas are only $20 on Sundays. Bottle of prosecco and a little orange juice at brunch is perfect.
- Stephanie PhamOctober 30, 2012My friends and I always come here for the fresh oysters. So good! And I love that I get 10% cashback since I'm on MOGL. http://mo.gl/sffour
- Megan AllisonDecember 10, 2017Good for boozy business lunches. Legitimately good food. That lobster roll, tho.
