Waterfront- "45 Years of Making People Happy"

In an effort to eat at all 3000 San Francisco restaurants (500 plus and counting), Linda and Mike L. Mc Colgan’s culinary journey recently landed them at the Waterfront for their famous 3-6 Happy Hour.

The moment you enter this San Francisco landmark, you immediately feel comfortable and relaxed with the massive windows overlooking the breathtaking Bay views. They also have an outside patio and all the tables overlook the soothing Bay.

They are open for lunch and dinner serving an extensive selection of culinary treats.

It is a great place to decompress after a long day at work or walking back from a Giants game for their happy hour from 3-6.  They have a variety of $5 dollar wines and $3 dollar beers as well as signature cocktails for $7. The menu has $5 pizzas, Calamari, Sliders, Truffle Parmesan Fries and Oysters for 99 cents each.

We sampled some of each and they were all very good. They also pour a generous glass of wine.

We will definitely return.

 Longtime owner Al Fachi runs a first class show and his place reflects his quest for perfection. Al is always around and constantly monitoring the food, drinks and service which makes for a great experience.

From the web site, "In 1969, Al Falchi converted a former San Francisco longshoremen's bar
into a restaurant called The Waterfront.
A mile from Fisherman's Wharf, and with a view that eclipsed that
famous tourist hub, it soon became a favorite of local politicians and business people.
And, in time, local and foreign visitors were drawn by its breathtaking Bayscape.
Long a cut above its competition, in 1997, Al committed to a multi-million dollar
renovation to transform The Waterfront into one of San Francisco's
foremost dining destinations.
Not just brick and mortar changes,
but a complete overhaul of its long-standing seafood menu.
And, it's worked.
Today, The Waterfront is the choice of presidents and princes, celebrities and
travelers who want to make their San Francisco dining experience a memorable one."
