Waterbar
$$$$, Seafood, Embarcadero
Fodor's Review:
As soon as you enter Waterbar, you'll know exactly what's on the menu. The 200-seat dining room is dominated by sky-high aquariums filled with candidates -- or at least cousins of candidates (the kitchen has its own aquariums) -- for your dinner plate. Every fin and shell is sustainably-sourced, so there's no reason to feel guilty about sitting down to a plate of poached petrale sole, wood oven-roasted striped bass, or seared haddock. Waterbar, like its next-door neighbor Epic Roasthouse, is part of the steadily expanding empire of high-energy architect/restaurateur Pat Kuleto. Chef Parke Ulrich, who spent a decade at the city's celebrated seafood palace Farallon, serves the catch raw, cured, and cooked in dozens of ways, while nationally acclaimed pastry chef Emily Luchetti handles the sweet end of the menu. If you want to experience this watery world but not pay $50 for a whole lobster, grab a seat at the bar, where you can snack off the bar menu and take in the view of the bay.
