Best Seafood Restaurants in Alameda

Waterbar is my favorite seafood restaurant in SF. The food is so fresh, beautifully presented and with impeccable service. The view is lovely also. It is my go to restaurant for any kind of celebration. Thank you for all you do to make my visit special, from briny oysters, to lovely cocktails.

All the staffs are very courteous, nice, friendly and notice details quickly. From the starter, Oysters were fresh, and with the seaweed vinaigrette, it elevated the oyster a lot. With the frog leg, the meat is so tender and juicy. Sauce on the side offers a nice acidity touch for fried dish. I loved the fact that they took inspiration from Nashville Hot Chicken and curated to their own version, everything on the plate were seasoned perfectly even with the pickle they served on the side. Grilled half sea bream was wonderful, I can taste the charbroiled flavor. Fish was very crispy,meaty, juicy and buttery. With the Meyer lemon herb salad, it definitely made the dish more refreshing. Overall, I really enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you for everything and for sure I will come back soon.

Christmas prix fixe menu was just delicious and a good value. Service was efficient and attentive for a bustling night. The only downside- cold in the restaurant. Had to keep my coat on, many diners as well. Lobster Bisque is delicious, the Crab and Artichoke dip very tasty. Entrees were great- PrimeRib, Surf and Turf, tender and well seasoned Swordfish. We would go again and probably will next year.

Dining and service was wonderful. However, I called ahead and was given instructions as to how and where to enter. My only criticism is the handicap accessible. I have ALS and I’m in a wheelchair. At the street level the lift was not working and had to go up through the garage. Although the lift in the restaurant is helpful, it would have been more accessible to be seated at the same level as the restroom. Just a thought.

The ambiance, service, food were ALL GOOD, the Pricing is Ridiculous though, I paid $18.95 for a tiny shot size cocktail and $55 for oxtails, unfortunately neither was worth the cost.
