As others have said, the views here are spectacular, but the food just doesn't keep up. We had a table of six and shared several things, so we got to try many of their appetizers and entres. None of it "wowed" us. There were a couple that were okay and several that were just plain unimpressive. As for atmosphere, there was a perpetual revolving of people. We saw people being sat at tables and, at least twice, get up to move to another table before they even ordered. When you factor in the price, it's just not worth it. If you want the views, go to the sister restaurant Epic right next door. The food is still tiny, but at least it's excellent in flavor and presentation.

Pros: views; enormous columns of water, if you like that sort of thing

Cons: weird seating activities

Editor's Review

High-end Embarcadero seafood spot provides fresher-than-fresh fare, a large-yet-cozy space, a wealth of wine options and killer Bay views.  See the full editorial review.

Where to Sit
