Best Waterfront Restaurants in Civic Center / Hayes Valley / Van Ness

Amazing spot. Second visit in a week. Celebrating my 50th. Great food, service and atmosphere. Definitely on the pricey side but for occasional celebrations it’s great.

We flew into San Francisco during the atmospheric river for a 70th birthday celebration. The weather was disappointing but our waiter was over the top great. He was friendly, informative and made the night special. The whole staff made us feel welcome and the food was outstanding. We even received a special birthday treat! Highly recommend this restaurant!

It was lovely. My visitors were very impressed. The service and food were excellent.

Went there for a soft opening when it first opened to work the kitchen and training the staff, and it is just as great today as it was in 2008! Couldn’t finish the giant octopus so I ate the leftovers for breakfast and it tasted just as good. Amazing go to restaurant where there is something for everyone! And a stunning waterfront restaurant as well. Cheers and enjoy ~

A really delightful place for lunch, cozy, warm ambiance. Menu selection varied, quality ingredients, and very flavorful dishes. Try the tahini hummus, muhammara and adana kebab - delicious! Staff members are attentive and patient. I'd definitely return.
