The Waterfront Restaurant

 We first visited this restaurant in June 2011 and returned again in 2013 and if there is a way to fit it in this July we'll go again but our July schedule is pretty tight already as it is a 3 day flying visit.

Scenic restaurants can often rely on their location to turn the tables. Even if the food is not stellar the view can make up for it if you are hungry enough. In the case of the Waterfront the food is good and we have no complaints. The prices are not what we pay when we indulge ourselves in Fine Dining.
We  most often eat just because we are hungry and not for indulgence's sake in some great chef's creations. Those are dining events and very memorable. Fleur de Lys is our SF go-to for fabulous cooking. The French chef there-Hubert Keller who would be familiar to viewers of Food Network or Bravo food shows (Top Chef) is one of our favorite TV chefs. What looks good on TV tastes sublime on a fork.

The part of the restaurant we are dining in is a tent structure with see-through plastic windows as it is an add-on to the bricks and mortar main restaurant. The view is exactly what we hoped for. The interior of the main restaurant is warm and cosy.

There is street parking but as we were already down at the Ferry Building (what a surprise!) we walked and took a cab back to the hotel afterwards.
