Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Searchland

We loved the fun vibe and the beautiful view of the Bay Bridge, but we were a little disappointed in the food this time. The oysters were fabulous, but the squid appetizer that our Waiter recommended was only so so. It tasted too fishy/anchovy strong. My daughter ordered the miso cod, and although she liked it, she said it wasn’t what she expected (needed broth). I ordered the scallop appetizer which was good, but nothing special. My husband ordered the duck and he was happy with his selection. We’ve enjoyed some fabulous dinners at Waterbar, but we probably won’t be coming back anytime soon.

We ordered ribeye and NY strip steaks - both outstanding. Sides were YUMMY. Cocktails were creative and STRONG. Friendly service. We went with reservations 5pm on a Friday and not too busy. We had our choice of seating. It was cold and rainy outside so we chose a huge booth ...how luxurious to take up so much space for just 2 people! Lovely ambience. I'm not a fan of SOMA so coming and going were not so pleasant but once inside all was very nice.

Amazing food. Lovely atmosphere and excellent service

Lovely ambiance!! I requested ,on Open Table a window view for a table of 10. We got that in a private room. This being a birthday lunch, the privacy was wonderful!!! The food was delicious and served immediately after we were seated! This because we were the first round. Our reservation was 11:00; we were asked if we could vacate the room by 12:30. That was fine since since we were served so quickly (yet courteously). Peking Duck with buns..superb! All other dim sum items outstanding and authentic. Suggestion: If you have a large party of 10 or more, go early!!! The restaurant was bustling with every table occupied by 11:00 that morning!

We had a lovely night at Sushi Hashiri for Christmas Eve. We've dined here before pandemic and had a memorable experience, and it was great knowing its reopening. Absolutely enjoying everything, from the food, environment, service, and chatting with Chef Ono-san. Thanks for having us and we'll visit again and get the taste of different seasons of food!
