Welcome to Waterbar

Situated in a prime location on the waterfront of San Francisco’s Embarcadero, Waterbar is one of the Bay Area’s premier dining destinations, serving the city’s finest seafood in an unparalleled atmosphere. We offer a daily menu of fresh-caught, sustainably sourced fish and shellfish—as well as the most expansive selection of oysters on the West Coast—set against spectacular panoramic views of the Bay Bridge, Treasure Island, and the San Francisco skyline.
