The fish and chips here was the best I've ever had. perfectly crispy outside and tender inside. we ordered a salad and clam chowder which were excellent too. Service couldn't have been better, and music made the atmosphere absolutely perfect. will for sure be coming again for breakfast or lunch next time!

Café Waterfront has that classic, old-school coastal vibe that just feels right by the bay. The oysters were fresh and the clam chowder was rich and comforting—exactly what you’d hope for at a waterfront spot. Service was friendly and attentive, even during a busy dinner rush.

I had been a very frequent customer at Cafe Waterfront for many years until Moriah took over as bartender and treated me as inconsequential because I don’t drink alcohol. I always tip well and treat staff with the respect and kindness they deserve so honestly it hurts my feelings to be treated dismissively because my tab isn’t as substantial. I had gone when she wasn’t there and was treated well so was trying again but today she actually ignored me for several minutes after I sat down and then quickly took the order of another person who had just sat down. I walked out…too bad, I honestly love the music and atmosphere, so I miss it.

While the prices are steep, the view is lovely and the service quite nice. My only critique is it seemed they were too busy for their kitchen staff. Food was good. Ours was costly as we ate oysters and crab, but what else should one want for when on the waterfront? :)

Historic eatery equally as exciting for either a seafood connoisseur or an interior design enthusiast.
Menu celebrates the bounties caught by local fishermen; interior wood finishes well-reflect the long history of lumber jacking and wood milling in Eureka. Expert carpentry seen from the trim work, crown moldings and windows — a testament to why the restaurant ranks on the National Register of Historic Places.
Steamed Clams are simply delicious — plump, lightly garlicky, and tasting of the sea.
A must-try when in Eureka. Impeccable and knowledgeable service.
Walked in with my girlfriend around 4:00pm (dinner service hadn’t started) and it took 3 different servers walking past us for us to be asked if we’d like something to drink. Not by our server, By the bartender. No hello, just a cold do you want anything to drink. The young blonde lady needs an attitude adjustment or perhaps a lesson in basic manners. Definitely not recommending even with the “old building charm”. We settled out with a 0 tip and took our money to Brick & Fire where we dropped 25% tip because the service and food was miles better than this dying old establishment. I never leave reviews but this garbage service warranted it.

We had a great breakfast there is morning. A thousand times better than the Wortley place across the bay the night before.

This is a tough one, because I found the staff to be very nice and the veggie burger was exquisite. However, that I was the only patron under the age of 65, and that one was loudly discussing outright conspiracy theories made for a less than safe or inviting atmosphere. It is a cool old building though.
