Visited from San Francisco - you'd be hard pressed to find a comparable non-Michelin starred restaurant in the Bay (and they're kinda known for it). This place was truly stellar. Freshest sushi, fish, and inventive plates served by a well trained staff who are perfectly attentive and lacking the attitude of high end restaurants. Erin was fantastic, as was our host Jennifer. Job well done!The food is the star of the show here - please get the crab cakes. Quite possibly the best I've ever had, and San Francisco is a big deal when it comes to crab. These were better. Also do yourself a favor on the nigiri - so fresh and the fish (salmon) melted like butter in our mouths. One small thing I noticed was that the fish was slightly too warm for nigiri, which seemed to be due to the rice temp (very nicely seasoned, though). Apart from that, their wasabi and pickled ginger game is serious! Great job!Snow crab roll, dynamite roll, and sesame crusted seared ahi with wasabi mashed potatoes were all phenomenal - the key here was the rice firmness and integrity of each roll plus the freshest fish this side of the Pacific. The tomato BLT salad is not to be missed either! They just hit every dish and did it with style.Wine list is representative of a nice range of tastes, and by the glass is reasonably priced, but I know they have an off menu list and it was a shame to not see what might be there... They'd make a lot of money with bottle service on special occasion wines.Congrats on a hugely successful (judging by the crowd) restaurant in a relatively smaller area - I hope all of your locations and offshoots continue to prosper!XO, a huge new fan
Went on a date to Surf and the food here is phenomenal. The place is really nice without it being overly extravagant, the staff provides great service and is extremely friendly and nice.For food, I had the Sesame Seared Tuna and it was delicious. The potatoes with Wasabi and tempura carrots complimented the tuna so well.My date had the Korean BBQ scallops and she said they were incredible. We also had drinks where I just had a Jack & Coke which was good as usual and my date really enjoyed a caramel Espresso Martini that she said was so yummy.This place is on the more expensive side, but the food and service is phenomenal so I'd say it's worth it.

Dined in with my grandmother a few months ago who was visiting from Arizona. Determined to have lobster while she was here, and absolutely loved it! We even split a "tall cake" which was incredible even after bringing it to-go and eating it the next day.The excellent food was not the only thing that made our experience 10/10. My grandmother felt a little bit light headed, and without hesitation, the manager sprinted over to assist me. He did not make a scene or embarrass her, which I greatly appreciate.The compassion we received from the manager as well as our waitress was above and beyond. You've earned yourself customers for life.Thank you for assisting us in what could have been a very stressful situation. Your attentiveness and calmness went a long way!

A truly quality experience, we enjoyed the special from top to bottom. Service was excellent, food prepared perfectly and the wine paired delightfully with our meal. Meal was pricey but nonetheless delicious. Atmosphere is given 3 stars for ambient noise. Our sever, Ashley was experienced, friendly and attentive. Great job!

Amazing staff, very helpful and knowledgeable! Explained and great suggestions. Excellent presentation!Fantastic wasabi mash potatoes ?
Always very pleased with the food and service at surf. They have excellent sushi and chowder. Their main courses are great as well, but I usually end up ordering a couple rolls of sushi. I highly recommend the dynamite roll! Also, their drinks are delicious, with some great seasonal options!

I ordered Portuguese stew seafood and I thought it would transport me to Portugal but I was disappointed because there was a lot of flavor, I asked my friends how their dinner was and the chicken was overcooked, the fish was good and I don't remember the other person who accompanied us, Plus the prices are very high compared to other places. The oysters are very good but 3.5 for each one is a lot... the drinks were not well loaded and they added a lot of ice...
