My husband and I enjoy our visits at Pier 29. The staff is incredibly friendly and makes you feel at home. The place is cozy and the food is fantastic. I always order the same item, which is the Garlic Butter Ribeye steak with rice pilaf and it is superb. 💜

It was quiet when we went, which was good as it was a clear day and we wanted to watch the sunset across to bat toward San Francisco, so getting a window table overlooking the bay was not a problem. The food was tasty and was brought out quickly. The waiters were jovial and helpful.

We had a party of 46 people and the served us flawlessly with perfect meals. We were one of two parties at the same time, and both in addition to the regular restaurant traffic. VERY well run operation!

Was in the area for business and stopped here for dinner. Such a nice view of the city from this restaurant. It was very quiet for a nice intimate dinner. The service was stellar. The food was very good. I really enjoyed the clam chowder. If you have not been here you really need to try it!

We had a very nice table outside on the deck looking at all the boats. The food was really good we started with oysters and we had shrimp and everything was just what it should be. Also the wine was the house variety and it was really good. We will definitely come here again

I've been a customer for decades, going back to when you could eat dinner and gaze out at the Park Street Bridge. We recent took mama bear for Mother's Day brunch, and everything was absolutely perfect. Friendly service, really nice customers, beautiful views (both of the bay and the harbor), and truly delicious food for a reasonable price. We ordered generous entrees for four, three mocktails, three rounds of oysters, and a big 'ol dessert, and only paid $200. The oysters were to die-for, btw. Do not miss them while they're on the menu! All in all, we had a sweet, memorable, fun, Mother's Day, and will likely remain loyal customers for life.

Went there with some friends over the weekend. The place is located at the Yacht dock. Nice and peaceful place. Menu was great. I enjoyed Sautéed Prawn. Started with Fresh OJ and 2 sides. Both were awesome. For starters, sauces were awesome. Main course were fantastic and delicious. We ended the lunch with super awesome dessert. After the heavy, we went for light walk around with view of Bay Bridge. Service was great and fast too. Waiter was very courteous and respectful. Highly recommend this place to try and visit.

I had shrimp pasta. Which was good size portion. Everything eles is all side ordered. If you have main dish you shouldn't have to pay more for side portion. Like soup or salad bread. There is know lunch menu.

Nice meal. The serving was just right, but the garnish seemed old-fashioned. Prices are pretty reasonable. Nice staff and ambiance. The bar was nice. The Raspberry lemon drop was delicious and the bartender sang Happy birthday while serving us the ice-cream and pie with a candle! Beautiful time.

We come here a couple times a year for various group gatherings. They make it fairly easy to host events for a fixed price. Food is fresh and tasty, service is good, they have a full bar onsite for folks who like a cocktail. Good all around deal for group gatherings.

Really enjoyed finding this spot right at sundown. The view of the San Francisco skyline being back-lit with a sunset set the tone for a good meal. Had the spicy scallops and shrimp and my friend had a nice piece of Salmon. Each was cooked nicely and both were well seasoned. I would recommend either and found a bunch more on the menu that I want to try. Also great view of the local Alameda Harbor on one side, and a view of the Aircraft carrier on the other.

The food was bland, but the seafood was fresh. Its location is ideal for the restaurant, plenty of parking space available, right by the water. However, the restaurant needs a major upgrade. The price is similar to other nicer restaurants in Emmeryville that’s also by the water. The calamari I believe is bear battered. Needs more flavor, but at least it tasted fresh. My crab Louis salad is like any other I’ve had. Nothing special.

The seats have a fantastic view. At starter, we had calamari and shrimp fry. Additionally, the teriyaki salmon in the dinner was superb. Due to its proximity to the harbor and shore, the restaurant may draw large crowds.

Stopped in for lunch after a nice walk over at Crab Cove. Lots of parking and nice views of Ballena Bay. Had a few cocktails and had a nice lunch outside. Staff is very friendly and nice. The menu is packed with tasty meals and they have a full bar. Clam chowder was fresh, warm and yummy. I had the fish and chips and wasn't disappointed in the slightest. What a great place to chill and have a good time.

Food tasted good, my chicken was a little over cooked. Maybe the time I got there was a little early but it was mainly senior people dining there (Nothing wrong with that). Restaurant has a nice view.

I would love to say the food has gotten much better since I last visited here a few years ago, but it has not. I ordered a blackened fish sandwich but the fish was not well seared so not blackened enough nor seasoned enough. The lettuce was not kept within the bun outline but stuck out all over so it made it hard to eat and the bun was not toasted so it did not have the stiffness to hold the sandwich together. So I ate it, but I won't go back until the kitchen staff changes.

Okay food. Okay service. The clam chowder is too thick for my liking. The fish is kind of smaller size but for the price it is okay since things are expensive in Bay Area. May go back to try other entrees… I saw the next table for a big lamb shank and wonder how it tastes…

Nice view of sailboats. Attentive service. Waiter had dirty fingernails. Bathrooms EXTREMELY unkept, dirty, and very foul smelling which definitely ruined the nice smells and taste of the food. Scallops were nice size and tasty. Calamari was tender but small portion and so thin that I mostly tasted the egg batter covering the calamari. Oysters were fresh, small, and tasty. $6.50 for 2.

Came for breakfast on a Sunday. Place was empty which should have been a sign. Ordered a BLT on sourdough but instead it came on super dry white bread. Blackened chicken sandwich was not much better, dry and stringy. Coleslaw was watery. Tea pot leaked. Definitely paying high prices for the view only.

Nice location, comically bad food. Pier 29 has a reputation for a fantastic view. Or so I've been told. I wouldn't know, as we weren't allowed to sit in the empty section of the restaurant overlooking the bay. Instead, we were ushered to a rear-facing section complete with construction views. My disappointment could only be assuaged by the much-awaited shrimp scampi, right? But alas, the scampi turned out to be more 'scam' than pi. These shrimp had seen about as much seasoning as we saw of the ocean. Each bite was an arduous journey through a barren desert of blandness, prompting the question: where did all the flavor scampi off to? Meanwhile, the limp pasta had the culinary charisma of a Walmart clearance item. I was half-expecting to find a barcode underneath it. But what about the white sauce, you ask? As to the runny sauce I can say two things: it was white, and it was physically present. In retrospect, I'm almost glad we didn't have the view. The idea of tainting such beauty with the memory of this $100 meal reminiscent of plastic-trayed school cafeteria food would be too much for me. Other notes: I should note the waitress was great; kind and attentive, and topping off our drinks constantly.

We were expecting something completely different. The food was extremely disappointing. We ordered a shrimp cocktail, fried calamari and shrimp and chips and everything was flavorless unseasoned extremely bland.. the shrimp cocktail will give nightmares. Please see photo. The view is beautiful and this place has a lot of potential but the food is lacking and reminds me a lot of Chinese food… do not recommend
