Our server Jian was amazing! He was humorous and kind and made our entire dining experience a memorable one! He went above and beyond and I enjoyed having him take care of us. I know this was no reflection of the restaurant experience however I feel that it's worth mentioning that the valet experience was terrible. When we pulled up there was no greeting or offering of assistance. The attendant stayed behind the desk until I got out of the car and walked up to the podium for assistance. As this is the first experience where a hotel guest or restaurant patron is welcomed, this left a lot to be desired. Feel free to pass this on to whomever!

Had a reservation for 12:30pm. But kitchen is close at 1:00pm. So we had to order quick. I requested and noted for a special birthday greeting but they did not do it. Had the brunch menu completed different from their website. Was a little disappointed did not see all the brunch menu I've seen in social media.

Selected this restaurant for dinner while my family was in town for the weekend. Service was great and ambiance was just as pictured online and social media. We enjoyed the food and even took some home because of the decent portion you get. We chose to sit outside on the patio and in the evening the ambiance is so nice with fire pits throughout the patio. She reminded me multiple times that I selected a great choice for dinner. She enjoyed it very much. Thanks for showing my family the hospitality of the bay. ❤️

Valentines day seems to be a bad time to go. Lot's of people and reduced menu. I think the prices went up from when I went a year ago. I ordered fish and chips and one of my pieces of fish was very tough. I had to leave it on the plate.

Came to the Berkeley Boathouse on Valentine's Day. With the limited menu that we received, the following judgement would not be the most astounding as I was expecting to eat off their original menu. I did not indulge in the Valentine's Day special menu in its entirety, however, the service was impeccable, and that was the greatest part of the dinner. Shoutout Roger!

Had a Co. Party. The group was professional and courteous.
It was not too noisy.

Beautiful view of the bay.

I wait 10 minutes for the menu to be brought to me. The wine was brought to me after my order, 20 minutes later. Deep-fried squid after 25 minutes. I wanted to stay there for a long time, but I didn’t want to wait long for my next glass, so I left.

Extremely overpriced and not even mediocre food. Ceasar salad with zero dressing and a supposedly wagyu burger which consisted of two thin dried out patties for $25. Slow, expensive and painful to bare. If you are looking for a pleasant gastronomic experience, don't go there. And if you do, don't order what I had.

Being a local, I've never spent time down here until very recently. The atmosphere is traveler posh with a sprinkle of working class misfits to keep things interesting. A good mix of folks with a friendly atmosphere, and attentive staff. The entire hotel is customer service is brilliant.

Dined here while staying at the adjoining hotel. The location and ambiance are spectacular. Great view of the marina from any table in the restaurant, as well as a large outdoor patio. They also have a nice bar area that would be great for socializing.

A strange thing happened with our server, who had a spell of dizziness and lost her balance. She said she thought it was because she’s diabetic and had eaten candy. She seemed a little dazed for the whole service.

The food was excellent. We had asked for the driver scallops on the side, with the fettuccini Alfredo. We were surprised by the serving size of this pasta dish. The flatbread was nice but probably unremarkable. And the beet salad was excellent.

Vegetarian options: There was only one vegan option, a risotto.

Parking: I believe parking is meant for hotel guests but there is definitely valet parking available.
