Review of Waterbar San Francisco Restaur...

Set on The Embarcadero, if nothing else, Waterbar ...

Set on The Embarcadero, if nothing else, Waterbar has a lovely view. I dined here on a Friday night (with reservations, thankfully) - the place was bustling.

We started the meal with complimentary sparkling water and a friend ordered a house-made club soda. Both drinks arrived sans bubbles. Not the end of the world, but if you like your sparkling water, realllly sparkling- beware.

The shrimp cocktail and oysters were the best part of the meal and I would return again for these orders alone. Word around town it their happy hour oyster deal is a steal! $

It's a blessing that Waterbar has bread service because it took an hour and fifteen minutes for our entrees to arrive. Once they did, everything tasted great (...partly because I was starving and anything would have tasted great at that point). The dishes were well-plated, good portion sizes, and mixed the perfect amount of unique with approachable.
