    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.

    Lovely ambiance!! I requested ,on Open Table a window view for a table of 10. We got that in a private room. This being a birthday lunch, the privacy was wonderful!!! The food was delicious and served immediately after we were seated! This because we were the first round. Our reservation was 11:00; we were asked if we could vacate the room by 12:30. That was fine since since we were served so quickly (yet courteously). Peking Duck with buns..superb! All other dim sum items outstanding and authentic. Suggestion: If you have a large party of 10 or more, go early!!! The restaurant was bustling with every table occupied by 11:00 that morning!
