Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Mission District

Our experience was a mixed bag. The latkes with smoked trout were outstanding. Burgers were also delicious. The steak, on the other hand, was not great. It was tough and difficult to cut or chew. It was also completely raw in the middle. I like rare but this was extreme- and very off-putting. I left half of it on the plate, which at $68 for the entree felt pretty bad. In addition, the sides paired with the steak weren't particularly good. Sorbets for dessert were mind blowing. I would return but couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed by the quality of the most expensive entree.

Classic SF spot. Great for families or a night out with friends.

Pan de queso, chicken skewer, ribeye steak, & yucca fries were absolutely delicious especially paired with one of their lovely wine options. The manager was very hospitable and knowledgeable. Restaurant has spacious options for bigger parties, I was surprised at how large the restaurant was in person. The ambiance was a little loud but who could blame them because the food is so great and I went on a busy Saturday night. I can't wait to go back.

We really enjoyed the margaritas. The carnitas and burger tacos were delicious. Service was quick and friendly. Flan for dessert was a perfect end to the night. Great spot before a show and the Chapel.

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.
