Every plate at Waterbar starts with a commitment to the ocean, the fishermen, and the future of seafood in San Francisco. 🦀🦪🐟

Because the best seafood tastes even better when it’s responsibly sourced, thoughtfully prepared, and enjoyed with front row views of the Bay Bridge.

Where San Francisco icons meet. 🦀🌉

At Waterbar, even something as classic as Dungeness crab comes with intention. Responsibly sourced, carefully selected, and rooted in a deep commitment to sustainable seafood, it’s a reminder that protecting our oceans keeps traditions like this alive.

From the Bay to your plate, it just hits different when it’s done right.

We’re excited to debut our Private Bay Bridge Experience.

Guests dining at Waterbar or EPIC Steak can now reserve control of the Bay Bridge lights for the duration of their meal, including custom animations, name displays, and full bridge takeovers.

For milestone occasions, we can temporarily dim the rest of San Francisco so your table remains the primary light source on the waterfront.

Guests can submit photos in advance or project images directly from Waterbar or EPIC Steak to have their likeness displayed across the bridge and reflected onto the Bay. Look closely and you might spot Pete’s face tonight… and tonight only!

Reservations are now available.

When the Bay Bridge lights first lit up the San Francisco waterfront on a drizzly March evening in 2013, diners at Waterbar and Epic Steak were transfixed.

“When they popped on, it was kind of this surprise, like what’s going on here?” recalled the restaurants’ owner Pete Sittnick. “But it was so magical in terms of the way it lit up the waterfront and the bay.”

Three years after the public art installation by Leo Villareal went dark due to harsh environmental damage, the lights are finally set to return.

Thanks to $11 million in donations raised by nonprofit Illuminate, Bay Lights 360 will be activated Friday, March 20 - with twice as many LEDs as before.
Embarcadero restaurants like Waterbar, Epic Steak, Perry’s, Angler and Boulevard are hoping the glow brings a surge in business.
