Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Hayward

The food is fabulous and the service as well. Thoroughly enjoyable evening. Waitstaff even plated shared dishes beautifully. Loved everything about the evening. Too bad it’s so hard to get a reservation but totally understandable!

We always enjoy Foreign Cinema. They are great about accommodating my wheelchair, the food is fantastic, and the service is always excellent. We love it.

We loved the fun vibe and the beautiful view of the Bay Bridge, but we were a little disappointed in the food this time. The oysters were fabulous, but the squid appetizer that our Waiter recommended was only so so. It tasted too fishy/anchovy strong. My daughter ordered the miso cod, and although she liked it, she said it wasn’t what she expected (needed broth). I ordered the scallop appetizer which was good, but nothing special. My husband ordered the duck and he was happy with his selection. We’ve enjoyed some fabulous dinners at Waterbar, but we probably won’t be coming back anytime soon.

One of our favorite restaurants! Everything about it is great. Friendly and efficient staff, great food with good variety all prepared perfectly, nice ambiance even with a cozy fireplace area, and our favorite server Jerry!

Great place to go but always pretty noisy. I guess part of the ambiance.
