Fodor's Expert Review Waterbar
Come for seafood with a view: sky-high aquariums dominate the dining room, and the bay is just beyond, but the biggest attraction is the food. Every fin and shell of the sea, from the oak-roasted striped bass to the black cod from the Mendocino Coast, is sustainably sourced. Speaking of that view, no restaurant has a more prime vantage point of the Bay Bridge than this one, though the full dining-with-a-view experience is more enjoyable on the patio or in the spacious front dining room than in the rather dim rear dining area. For a steak house with a view, head to Waterbar's next-door sibling, EPIC Steak.
