“What a delight!! Everything was incredibly fresh and oh so tasty. Impeccable service to boot. What a gem. I’m so happy to have found this place. Guessing everyone is sleeping on this amazing nugget. Won’t be long til everyone is in the know ;)“

“My fiancé and I found your restaurant Saturday afternoon while sightseeing the city. We were so impressed with the atmosphere and hospitality. This place is the best for nice afternoon seafood lunch! Thank you so much for the delicious meal.“

“Menu here changes by the season but we were thoroughly impressed by all the dishes we got - unique flavours that came together well.

Must try: their potato chips, beef tartare, ice cream sundae and the peanut milk (that was really unique)“

“Had San Francisco Cioppino (Mussels. Clams, Crab, Cod, Prawns, Scallops and Garlic Bread that was the bomb). Only giving 2 thumbs up as I only have 2. Great food, great service!“

“Anchor Oyster Bar is worth the wait. Be prepared though, the line can be quite long, especially during lunch and on weekends, since it’s a small restaurant and they don’t have many tables.

I ordered the 12 oysters on the half shell, and they were very fresh, clean tasting, and served ice cold.

The Boston clam chowder was excellent, thick, creamy, and loaded with clams without being overly salty. It’s a must-order.

Service was friendly and efficient once seated.“

“The food was absolutely amazing ❤️😎💯💯💯“

“I was invited to Waterbar for a business dinner and was excited to finally visit a restaurant that had been on my list for quite some time. Our group was seated in a private dining room upstairs with access to an outdoor balcony overlooking the Bay.

San Francisco weather in June can be unpredictable, but we lucked out with a beautiful evening. The balcony, complete with its own bar, was the perfect spot for networking and conversation before dinner. The private dining room comfortably accommodated our group of about 30 people without ever feeling crowded.

Dinner was served as a prix fixe menu, which made the evening easy since no one had to spend time deciding what to order. Every course I tried was outstanding and exceeded my expectations. The food was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented.

Despite the size of our group, the service was exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and kept everything running smoothly throughout the evening.

The restaurant itself is gorgeous, especially the main dining level with its impressive floor-to-ceiling fish tanks that add to the waterfront ambiance. Between the beautiful setting, excellent food, and outstanding service, Waterbar lived up to the hype. I'll definitely be back!“

“I promise you the lobster roll is worth it. We love to get the seafood flight roll combo because you get a little bit of everything plus chips (or sub fries) and a drink! Don't expect to get full unless you have a small appetite but its worth the try. The staff is really friendly and the vibes are always calm. Tables and the area in general is kept nice and clean.“

“I’ve been wanting to try jerk chicken for a while and found this spot on Google. Luckily, my sister was also feeling adventurous, so we decided to grab lunch here.
We ordered the jerk chicken, fries topped with jerk chicken, and a shrimp salad. Everything was delicious. The chicken had a nice level of spice, and I really enjoyed the heat. The chef even came out to check on guests, which was a really thoughtful touch.
I would definitely come back and dine here again.“

“Good service, delicious food, nice atmosphere, nothing to complain about“

“Great bartender! Right on SF Bay.“

“What an amazing culinary experience! We had a three course meal. The waiter was very helpful, friendly and had great recommendations! I highly recommend this place if you're in San Francisco!“

“Amazing service and food!!!!“

“Great experience, had walked by this place and someone leaving seeing me reading the menu insisted that I try it out. Wasn’t disappointed, great menu where seafood is the star of the show, recommend the aguachili appetizer and fish and chips. Will return for other menu items. Great service, reservations via resy recommended“

“Hands down our favorite go-to restaurant when we are in the city going out to dinner, or when we are looking to take out-of-towners someplace truly unique, or when we are looking to bring the most delicious dinner home. The seafood is as fresh and high quality as it gets, served in the most unique way. Start with the chowder, packed with a wide variety of shellfish, spiced just right with a little kick to it, neither New England nor Manhattan, they have invented a new broth that is both rich and flavorful while being light. The Scallops are a must try. They simply melt in your mouth with a burst of complex flavors. The small plate tostadas meld flavors and textures you just can’t find anywhere else. Although it is located on Divisadero in a multi-block long string of restaurants, the atmosphere inside has the feel of the most comfortable neighborhood bistro. Impecable service all at a very reasonable price for the quality and the creativity and joy the food will bring to your palate.“

“Best poke in mission district.“

“Everything was delicious and fresh. Will definitely come back!“

“Excelente servicio , quedé encantada 😍“

“Exceeded our expectations, all the food was delicious. We thought we were going to leave hungry but we left very full! My favorite was the tuna crudo in the little shucker plate and my fiancés favorite was the crab roll. Thanks to chase sapphire reserve card we got $150 off our bill. They even got us a dessert for our engagement. Thanks little shucker ☺️“

“What a perfect end to a busy day! The food was delicious, the portions were just right, and the wait staff was very friendly! I will definitely be back.😋“

“Haven’t been in years and boy howdy! It’s upgraded and then some. It’s not as divey as it used to be, but what’s here now is pretty cool! More places to hang (upstairs and down) with more views. The menu is expanded but still simple, good cocktails. The food has definitely improved a couple of levels and the prices are great for what you get. Awesome, friendly staff that wants you to have a great time!“

“The Peking duck was fabulous and juicy! We got a half, which we were surprised how little it was. We should have had a full. You have to reserve the duck before you get there.

We had a meat roll I think it was. It was amazing! My friends mom doesn’t like spicy so we got this roll. Highly recommend! Lots of veggies and excellent sauce!“

“food was great, lind of pricey but worth it“

“Delicious food and cocktails.“

“Love this little spot. We were able to walk right in, but reservations are recommended. We did more tapas style with several items: 🦪 flight, crudo, smoked trout dip, chips, and homemade focaccia. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. Excellent service and good vibes. I would definitely go back and try more“

“I’d gatekeep this place, if I was evil. Fantastic establishment. Oysters are sourced for flavor and not for brand; I’d say they have the best selection in the local area. Food is cooked to perfection and with care. Recipes are Californian, except for - and don’t sleep on - their Buffalo (NY) options such as the fleck and the wings. Excellent stuff. Service is chill and wonderful backyard.“

“First class operation“

“This place was recommended to us by a bartender at Mr Bings and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious. And the servers/owners were so friendly. Highly recommend.“

“The most amazing service and food“

“Good food & friendly staff!👍🏽“

“Classic San Francisco restaurant. Great service. Classic martini 🍸❤️“

“Best meal of my 14 day trip to California. wonderful atmosphere, great service and delicious food. I wish you had a restaurant in St Petersburg, FL.“

“Excellent food and service, and quiet ambience, so you can still hear yourself think.“

“Wow! This place is amazing! I'm extremely picky about my Mexican food. As someone that grew up on authentic food from michoacan, it's very difficult for me to find decent Mexican food. This place exceeded my expectations by a long shot! The tortilla was fire, the salsas were fire, the meats/seafood was fire! The fish and shrimp tacos tasted like the ones I had in Ensenada growing up! The service was absolutely outstanding. Very friendly, and extremely attentive! This will absolutely be one of my go-to's!“

“Everything is fire and on point. First stop after dropping off the luggage’s at the hotel. Worth the little 20min drive. It’s ticked away in a chill part of the neighborhood , definitely a must stop for anyone that is a shrimp and mango lover.“

“Our server Javier was the best he helps us choose our delicious key lime pie desert and coffee. We sat by the window and people watched on the warf in SF. We will definitely return again. My hope is that Javier will be rewarded with a free meal or reward from owners for every review he receives.!🙏🏼this is the practice BJ uses for their employees in concord by where we live!!!“

“I must say i had high hopes but the meal was tasteless but my friends had too much salt. I wanted to like it. Wont return, wont recommend. ☹“

“Birthday dinner for grandson here is meaningful and nice with large portion and we'll made steak and lobsterz. My sole fish plate is tasty N really well done although the mash is not so smooth . Would prefer the vegetables to be more than just carrot with beans..“

“My go to. Constantly delish for the past 30 years.“

“Love it! Love the food, friendly and welcoming staff“

“The breakfast quiche and the bread pudding.“
