About Waterbar

Seafood is the whole argument here, worked through a full-service kitchen at 399 The Embarcadero that opens its doors at 11:30am seven days a week and closes by 9pm most nights, 9:30pm on Fridays and Saturdays. That schedule makes it a lunch and early-dinner room rather than a late one, and the busiest stretch runs midweek — Tuesday through Thursday — before Saturday brings the weekend crowd. Lounge and chill house sit low under the conversation, table service is the norm and private dining is available for groups who want a room of their own. The dress code is formal, the price band is at the top end, and the crowd skews 30-plus: socialites, couples on a proper night out, and visitors mixing with San Francisco regulars. A 4.4 rating across more than 4,000 reviews suggests it delivers consistently, year-round.
