Restaurants near Shorebird Park

Had a very nice business lunch at La Marcha and I would recommend it to anyone. We tried all of the tapas available at lunchtime and enjoyed them. Had seconds of the very tender octopus, mushroom croquettes, and brussel sprouts. The dining room is small but nice. We were right next to another group, though I imagine we were the louder of the parties. One waiter for the small room, so there was some initial waiting before we got our orders moving, but he was very pleasant and took good care of us.

Great service. Presentation is entertaining. Food is amazinc

Skates on the Bay in Berkeley provided a delightful lunch experience today as I caught up with a dear friend. We started with the artichoke and crab dip, which was rich and creamy, featuring generous chunks of fresh crab. It was served warm with toasted baguette slices, making it perfect for sharing while we chatted. For my main course, I enjoyed the salmon sandwich, which was a true highlight. The salmon was flaky and moist, topped with creamy avocado and served on a toasted brioche bun. The presentation was impeccable, making it almost too pretty to eat! The service was attentive yet unobtrusive, with our server offering excellent recommendations. The restaurant's waterfront location provided stunning views of the San Francisco Bay, creating an inviting atmosphere for our leisurely lunch. Overall, my experience at Skates on the Bay was exceptional, combining fresh seafood, beautiful presentation, and attentive service—an ideal spot for enjoying great food with friends!

This is a lovely setting overlooking the Berkeley Marina boat basin. Very warm heat lamps with a nice sense of sheltered open air seating. Had tacos and shrimp with grits. Very tasty

The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and helpful, the dining room was comfortable and well designed. Nothing to complain about.
