The Berkeley Boathouse

"My wife and I liked the food and the service was excellent. However, we did not like a 20% tip being added to the bill without being asked (see image). We normally tip that amount, but like to think it is our decision. And to see a blank line for another gratuity is over the top."

"We tried the Tuna Tartare and the curry mussels. We were absolutely delighted with how they tasted. The combination of flavors that the tuna had with the rice was so refreshing. The mussels were amazing that curry flavor was cutting through the coconut milk just perfectly with a bit of spicy at the end. The milk/juice was so good you literally wanted to just drink it! We also had the fried calamari and that batter that was in it was so ultra light and crispy! When you turn around towards the west you could see the sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge. Absolutely stunning of a view. We were here celebrating a birthday and big accomplishment and the food, atmosphere, service delivered at the highest level possible!"

"I dined at the 4-star restaurant with a lovely Bayview, and the ambiance was truly enjoyable. However, while the food was good, it fell just short of excellence. The setting and the Bayview certainly added to the overall experience, making it a memorable evening, but there was room for improvement."

"The food was good. We had the Caesar salad, flatbread pizza, and chicken sandwich w/ fries. And dessert was the chocolate cake and cheesecake (got it to go and the chocolate cake was delicious!) Everything was good, but the fries were really good. Not too salty or soggy, and were nice and hot! We did feel a bit forgotten after we were seated, but one of the managers (Sorry. Forgot her name, but she was African American). She noticed I was looking around, probably with a quizzical look on my face, so she came to our table and took our order and apologized for the delay... Thank you for taking care of us! Also, the interior of the restaurant was nice and modern. I would dine here again."
