Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Russian Hill

Always the best service in town. From the hostess to bartender to our server, everyone has our unique experiences in mind. In the hospitality world we talk a lot about “surprise and delight” moments for guests, of varying size depending on the group, occasion, etc, and foreign cinema always gets them JUUUST right. Not to mention the food is always superb

Everything was great. The food, the service, the cocktails, and the restaurant itself were great! Will definitely go back again.

Service as amazing and food was spectacular. Always a pleasure

We enjoyed an early valentines dinner around 7:45pm. We were worried about the temperature in the outside seating space but the experience was very pleasant. We felt cozy under heaters and was nice to be outside during the rain. For dinner we enjoyed the “Chef’s Choice” - a family style 4 course meal that included several shared dishes. Each dish was delicious! Would be hard to pick a favorite. We left 1000% satisfied with the food and overall experience. Would recommend anyone looking to explore a cool restaurant.

Overall this is our first time here at Waterbar and let me tell you it did go above and beyond our expectations on food ! As a sous chef new to the area this was beyond amazing , the lobster risotto was flavorful full of umami and an overall beautiful delicate dish. Service was great , our guest talked with us the whole time , he did have to ask us to repeat ourselves several times due to the large loud party beside us , but kept the pace of the night very fluid and engaging. Would dine in and recommend any day of the week.
