This restaurant was chosen as the place for an annual holiday get together among my amigas (lady friends). Last year it was holiday dinner at Trabocco in Alameda.
Menu selection of the entrées were great. I couldn't decide which seafood entrée I wanted - cioppino, king salmon, petrale sole meuniere, Alaskan halibut. Beverage of my choice was an Arnold Palmer.
Eats: Alaskan halibut with crab mashed potatoes/chives and fresh asparagus. My lunch was on point and absolutely delicious. I enjoyed my lunch.
The waiters were very accommodating, helpful and extremely patient with us seven ladies. The dining area was indeed comfortable. The decor was very festive for the holiday season.
Dessert: Valrhona chocolate and walnut brownie with vanilla bean ice cream.
Return visit: Yes, I want to try their cioppino.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!
