Linda and Mike L McColgan's culinary journey continues at the enchanting floating restaurant Forbes Island off of famous Pier 39. The 3 minute boat ride to this unique San Francisco restaurant tells your mind that you are going to experience a very special dining experience. James Bond would enjoy this special place as you are right on the water in an intimate setting overlooking Alcatraz and the beautiful vistas of the San Francisco Bay.
Originally built in Sausalito, in 1975 by Millionaire Houseboat Designer, Forbes Thor Kiddoo as a private floating home. The 40 foot Lighthouse is the only privately built Lighthouse in the United States and is equipped with an authentic Fresnel Lens on loan from the US Lighthouse Society. The Fresnel Lens was built in France in 1820 and was first lit using whale oil.
The menu at Forbes Island has a variety of entrees to choose from including the Seafood Special of the day, lamb, steak and ribs.
The service is special and the ambience of the city lights makes one feel a sense of heavenly peace. When they say water view, this restaurant is over the top being on a floating island with a unique underwater dining room.
The restaurant is small and very busy so reservations are recommended. They also specialize in private and memorable special events.
