About Us

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. Waterbar strives to ensure the highest standard of environmentally safe, sustainably-sourced seafood from both local and international waters, respecting seasonality and the natural essence of the sea. Executive Chef Parke Ulrich offers a daily menu of fresh-caught, sustainably sourced fish and shellfish—as well as the most expansive selection of oysters on the West Coast. Created by the legendary designer and restaurateur, Pat Kuleto, the space features an extravagant, cascading oyster bar and dramatic floor-to-ceiling aquariums, which serve as the restaurant’s focal point. With spectacular panoramic views of the Bay Bridge, Treasure Island, and the San Francisco skyline from the restaurant’s dining room, terraces, patios and private event spaces, Waterbar is ideal for everything from al fresco drinks to landmark family celebrations.
