I booked a brunch date for me and my girls ! And it was amazing we were running a little late and they didn't rush us they let us enjoy our food (:

Really great charcuterie board with an Aperol Spritz on a recent visit. Friendly service, and a nice view of the marina. Brunch the next morning was good too, no complaints.

slow service but beatiful view and best order salads or side sides to keep price reasonable

The service and ambience were simply excellent! Some of our food items lacked creativity but were good: Such as a simple, not very flavorful Tuna Tartare (which need not be served w/ rice). Something tells me that the kitchen's direction is to "Give them what they want," and while the menu looks great (lots of crowd-pleasing items), I suspect their is untapped talent in the kitchen amongst the chefs/cooks (& perhaps service staff)... Noticed a diverse front=of-house staff. I wonder if those who work there could (if inclined!) contribute more interesting menu items or, perhaps put a particular ethnicity's spin on something like the tuna tartare... mix it up a bit? Overall it was an excellent experience. Thank you!

The place is rather pretty. The food is not very hearty. The charcuterie and cheese platter is really not amazing. I don’t recommend it for its slightly high price. Brussels sprouts are too seasoned and too soft. It’s a shame because the setting is beautiful.

On a recent trip to visit relatives we took time to visit the Berkeley Boathouse. Situated at the Berkeley Marina this establishment provides excellent views of San Francisco Bay and the San Francisco skyline in the distance. The staff were welcoming and attentive and we were quickly seated at our table. We began the evening with glasses of Sauvignon Blanc. We next added a calamari appetizer and entrees that included the Boathouse Cioppino (clams, mussels, scallops, seabass, shrimp and crab in a tomato fennel broth, with grilled sourdough) and the Roasted Beet Salad. All were well prepared and tasty! Okay, I didn't do it justice that Cioppino was great actually, well seasoned and the Crab and other ingredients complimented each other. We will be back!

We came for brunch on a Saturday. The biggest headline is how well the staff took care of us. Jian, Jovani, and the others were so friendly, great with our kids, and put smiles on everyone’s face. The brunch menu was all great, a bunch of empty plates, and the prices were pretty reasonable also. Add that to a beautiful view of the Bay, fire pits, the sun, and a light breeze, and the whole experience was great. Will definitely come back.

Eric :

I have stayed at this hotel multiple times over the past 5 years but this time the service in this restaurant hit a new low. I was there for 1 hour and 15 minutes and the bartender came by twice. A shit load of union staff not doing a god damn thing.

This restaurant is a true gem; Located in the DoubleTree Hotel at the Marina. A very quiet and safe area and has valet parking available. The entire experience was very good but the food was extraordinary.
