Reviews
We came here after a ferry ride from SF to celebrate a birthday. The portion sizes were great and the shrimps were huge!
The view of the water from our table also was an icing on the cake. Service was a bit slow in the beginning, but that improved. I asked the waiter about gluten free options, and requested he check with the chef to confirm. I was only considering seafood, so the Scampi and Salmon were my options.
The oysters were fresh, and the flavors were good for our dishes. One person did not like the homemade ravioli (not pictured) but everyone else liked their dishes.
Overall, a great place for seaside food and after, a relaxing walk around the Bay!
A wonderful and very reasonably-priced venue for a private event. There are several rooms that can be reserved for your group. Our 18-person birthday party was done exactly as we had requested and we had lots of special requests. Karina, the catering manager, was great to work with before the event, and the team on-site the evening of the event provided great service. Lara herself even showed up which was a lovely and welcome surprise. We were so pleased with how our friend's 80th birthday was celebrated!
I can't say enough how impressed I am with this place has the most clean friendly atmosphere I've ever experienced! The service is absolutely amazing here! When I first walked up the lady was extremely kind and gave us the entire tour of the restaurant and gave us a little Back stories and names of each rooms. We found an amazing seat by three open Windows next to a fireplace overlooking the water and sailboats absolutely breathtaking. We ordered the Catch of the Day and the crab shrimp raviolis and we couldn't eat them fast enough so unfortunately I couldn't even take pictures. We tried several cocktails that were extremely professionally made perfectly Blended. If I could give this place 10 Stars I will give it 20 Stars. I will definitely be coming back to this place as much as I possibly can I am new to the area and this is hands down my favorite place! Everyone here was extremely professional and friendly when we came to dessert time they rolled up with an extremely beautiful well-designed organized cart with all the options for desserts freshly made so you can see exactly what you're getting my mind was absolutely blown at this point they also had absolutely great recommendations that I took each and every one of them and was extremely impressed with all of them. I highly recommend bringing anyone here from kids to family to loved ones you will not be disappointed can't wait to come here at night before they have a beautiful light displays all around the restaurant.
Also in this review I want to give a huge shout out to our waiter Alex who was an absolute pleasure! This guy must live and breathe find on him because I was extremely impressed with his professionalism and presentation! He was able to give us the best recommendations some stuff was not even on the menu! This was our first time and this guy blew my expectations out of the water!
The view is amazing. If you're looking for a good restaurant by the bay, this is it. Recommended for special occasions. The staff is pretty good and efficient. They were able to prepare the food as we wanted. An area of improvement: better outdoor seating.
Parking was plentiful.
Stopped in on a Friday for a nice lunch. Beautiful views of the bay, San Francisco and the harbor. Staff was very friendly and attentive the place was nice and clean. They have plenty of outdoor seating due to covid, but there is also plenty if seating inside. There us a nice little lounge and bar with great views as well. Most importantly, the food was delicious! I had a yummy cup of chowder and the fish and chips which were both insanely good. She had a chicken sandwich and loved it. Full bar with beer and wine. A very nice place indeed!
Lovely location. The host offered two tables and we chose a cozy corner with a great view of the waterfront. The Calamari appetizer was perfect: crispy and tender. Two of my group had the Marina Seafood soup, which looked rich and creamy. Given my friends polished them off completely, I'd say they were a hit! My wife had the Margherita pizza, which had a perfectly cooked crust and delicious sauce. I had a thick slice of prime rib, served medium-rare and tender. The veggies were cooked the way I like them: not mushy but still firm and fresh looking. Dessert was a creme brulee with a beautiful caramelized crust and creamy custard underneath. Our waitress was super attentive, and Lara herself graciously stopped by to check on us. A perfect evening out!
Carlos was amazing with his great services and Jacqueline was very pleasant!!!
Thank for given us such a great service
Very pleased
The piano atmosphere was delightful.
Will definitely recommend
If you don't know where it's at, it's the old Salute`s in Richmond. We were there for a wedding dinner with a big group of 35. The servers were very nice and the food came out quickly and hot. They were very accommodating to our group. New menu and the food was great
