Brought a business client for dinner -- it has been 5 years since I last ate at this restaurant. Atmosphere remains very pleasant and the view impressive. Had the impression that tourists were an important part of the restaurant's business. Service was amateurish (maybe Tuesday is training night), but the appetizers were good. My client and I had Halibut -- delicate fish that was overcooked to death. Texture and taste of airline-prepared chicken breast.

Out steak was tough, our waiter was apathetic, but the worst was the manager....... he was rude and downright insulting. (Enough so that I am writing my very first review of a restaurant!!!!!) I will NEVER go back, and I will be in the area quite a bit over the next year or so, with quite a few other people.

I moved to the bay area from the midwest to be by the ocean. Thus I like places that remind me about everything that is great about this city. While this place is a little touristy (somewhat higher prices for the quality of the food), the view still makes it an excellent value and worth a visit. I go approximately six times a year. I have always had excellent service, and a table with an excellent view of the bay and the food is reliably good (though I head here more for the view than the food). It is also a great place to bring family and friends from out of town. Pros: Great view, friendly service Cons: Average tasting food (a little bland)

I went to Waterfront for Valentine's Day and they had a prix fixe menu so I'm not sure how representative the food is for the rest of the year. Anyways, the restaurant has a relatively cozy feel and a great view. Unlike some of the negative comments here regarding the servers, I had a great experience with my waiter and hostess. They were polite and our waiter gave us free salads because our entree was taking a bit long than expected. As for the food, my ahi tuna appetizer was very good. The lobster bisque was light... I would have preferred a slightly stronger lobster taste. Now onto the entree... I chose the shrimp and scallop dish. It would have been better if the shrimp and scallop were just steamed without any sauce.... it wasn't great... just so so. I had a draft Warsteiner beer and it was one of the best part of the meal. I would go hear for the view and ambiance. If you had money to spend, go there but don't expect GREAT food. Pros: View, outdoor dining, service, ambiance Cons: average food, expensive

We had our wedding at Waterfront on June 18, 2007. Not only the restaurant has a spectacular view, the personnel are all so helpful and understanding. We had only 4 months to plan for this important event, with Al (THE OWNER) and Cheryl (THE EVENT PLANNER)'s help, it went by like a breeze. We could not say enough about this restaurant. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to all of our friends.

We had lunch at the waterfront friday. The out door seating was great. Oysters were wonderful. Lance our server rock. Salmon sandwich to die for, too much fries.

Waitstaff was very attentive and excellent. View was phenomenal since we were able to see the bay bridge as the sunset shined on it. Food was average. Sourdough bread was not consistent. The second 'batch' of bread tasted very different (i.e. fresher) than the first batch. my dungeoness crab was 'ok' but nothing really spectacular. It tasted like blue crab to me. The desserts were, well, average but very good. Nothing fancy, nothing special, just good food, excllent Excellent wine list with reasonable prices. Reservations highly recommended.
