Best Waterfront Restaurants in The Castro

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.

Wow! We greatly enjoyed our Christmas Eve meal. We had a late seating and is typical during the Holidays. reservations were running a little late. No problem, our host walked us to the bar and saw that we were comfortably seated and introduced us to our bartender Jim -- who was great! Our dinner was excellent, all of our courses arrived in a timely manner and were well prepared. All the staff were both friendly and professional and added to our dining experience. The dining is beautiful any time of year, but especially for the Christmas Holiday.

I brought my family into SF for a few days of shopping and fun to break up the holidays. We live in Marin and are picky about driving into the city for dinner. Being a native born San Franciscan and resident in SF / Marin my whole life, La Mar proved a great pick. My wife, my two grown daughters and I will definitely return. La Mar - great spot and thanks for a wonderful dinner!

We had hummus and pita. They both were clearly homemade and outstanding. It was perhaps the best pita I ever ate. We had trout, and it was cooked to perfection. Absolutely delicious. The service team was super friendly and attentive. I would happily return to this lovely restaurant with great food and very friendly welcoming service.
