All about the location!! And the food! This is such a great spot to host an event. They had waiters walking around serving food in addition to a buffet table, so there were plenty of options throughout the event. I also liked having the option to hang out indoors. There was a TV available for presentations and a sound system, which makes the space work really well for different types of gatherings. The only downside is parking. It is extremely expensive in this area, so definitely factor that into your plans. Other than that, the location, food, and event setup make this a great venue! read more

Mission Rock Resort - Items from the party - Seafood Near Me - San Francisco, California

Always find myself coming back to Mission Rock Resort for the food and the views. Staff and Service: - Service was quick and servers were kind Food and Drinks: - Dungeness Crab Mac n Cheese: pretty filling and a good size - Oysters: fresh - Fish Tacos: (grilled fish, not beer battered fish). Messy as the tortillas are thin, so everything falls apart. But the flavors are good - Beet salad: added crab to this to embrace the seafood restaurant. Tasty - Vongole: delicious and filling Miscellaneous: - Seating available downstairs and upstairs - Parking available via street parking - Indoor and outdoor seating available read more

I previously did a review of Mission Rock and I apparently tagged the wrong place! So here we go again. I love coming here because of its location, near the water but it's not Embarcadero. On the sunniest days it's such a chill place to go for some good seafood options and enjoying a sunny day in SF! The area is just growing and thriving, which brings some good vibes as well. I have been here a few times and have enjoyed coming back. A definite good spot to go during our Indian Summer months! read more

I love Mission Rock! I have been coming here for years. They have some of the best oysters in the bay! I have tried almost their entire menu and we get something often! The drinks are always tasty and strong. The seafood here is always fresh, safe and AMAZING. 10/10 read more

I've seen this place while walking to Chase Center for a Warriors game or on my route of a 5k. There were plenty of reservations to site with a view of the bay. Came for brunch and had a rather small menu compared to other places. Hokkaido Scallop Crudo (5/5): drenched in ponzu and has apple and peppers in it. I thought the pieces amount was great with enough the share. The scallop was packed with flavor although I think I would like a milder sauce. Clam chowder (5/5): Got a bowl to share and it was comforting. Nothing too crazy. Frito Misto (5/5): Perfect appetizers with a variety to share like calamari, shrimp, zucchini, lemon, and jalapeño. Although I do recommend staying away from the lemon. Short rib French dip (4/5): I should've probably gotten seafood at a seafood restaurant, but this wasn't too bad. The meat was just a bit dry. I recommend coming here before a Chase Center event. read more

We recently had dinner at Mission Rock before a Valkyries game. Luckily I had made a 5 pm reservation as it was packed! They started by sitting us on the outside deck but close to the wall without a view. It's a covered patio with heaters, so even on a foggy night, not too cold. When a guest left one minute later on the balcony close to the water, we changed seats. No one got seated in our previous bad seats the whole time we were there. Strike one. We began our meal with a $16 margarita, which was tasty but fairly small. Husband had two martinis and I had an Aperol spritz later. These four drinks accounted for about $70 of our bill, even though it was happy hour. Strike two. We asked about the $1.50 oyster HH special. Were they small and from Washington state? Our waiter Alex answered yes to both. When our dozen oysters arrived, they were huge, gritty, slimy and inedible. The waiter even said they were "bigger than usual" and he liked them smaller. When we only ate one and said we didn't like them, he didn't take them away nor comp it. Strike three. One the positive side, we split a New England clam chowder soup ($12) and he brought an extra little bowl. The soup included bacon, parsley, oyster crackers and was creamy and very good. I had the ahi tuna ($22), with seasame, soy, avocado, ginger, scallion, and a good amount of wonton chips. Generous portion and fresh fish, but the ahi could have been sliced smaller. Husband had the cerviche ($24) which had a nice serving of seafood, with local rockfish, gulf prawns, avocado, lime, cilantro, and corn tortilla chips. He enjoyed it. Service was pretty slow but they were busy. If I was to go again, I'd stay for the views and not the food. read more

We have always loved Mission Rock for a peaceful lunch on the water. We recently threw a Baby Shower at Mission Rock in the upstairs event space and it was spectacular. The photos with the Bay in the background and the well lit sunny room were gorgeous. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The food was phenomenal. The management team including Kelsey helped us choose a menu and table arrangement ahead of time and the day of staff did such an excellent job making everything flow super seamlessly. Huge thank you to the team there!! read more

I was excited to try this place and went prior to the Olivia Dean concert for walk in. The host was not very warm and didn't really greet us when me and my two girlfriends walked in. She said that we can grab any open seating downstairs and order upstairs for drinks/food to bring down. There a good amount of space available downstairs so it wasn't an issue finding something. Upstairs was busy understandably before a large event - we went towards the bar to try to wave down someone. We were passed by a few workers but no one really said anything to us? Downstairs there were no menus to look at what to order - nor was it readily available upstairs. After waiting awkwardly in the middle of the floor while people around us were being tended to we just left. I hadn't felt that uncomfy with a place in a while. The food looked good and I've heard good things which is why I'm not docking a lot off, also since we didn't even get to try anything - I just didn't like how we were treated. read more

A lovely spot! My friends and I tried Mission Rock Resort on a Saturday at noon and had a pretty good experience. When we arrived, there was no wait and we were immediately sat upstairs, even with no reservation. The entire downstairs area of the restaurant was empty. Upstairs, the patio area was full but only a few people were seated inside. It looked like the side room was reserved for a large party as well. It was quite lively for this quieter area of SF. The view and ambiance was very nice. This restaurant sits right on the water with a beautiful sunny bay view of boaters and kayakers. The view paired well with the delicious food. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Benedict with a Paloma off the Brunch menu. The food came quickly and was lovely. The smoked salmon tasted very fresh. The English muffin was super soft. The eggs were cooked perfectly with a delicious hollandaise sauce over the top. The greens were also a nice touch. The potatoes were great too. They were loaded with paprika for a salty yet smoky flavor. The Paloma was very refreshing. It tasted like they used fresh grapefruit juice! The only issue was that two people at our table ordered cups of clam chowder with their meals but they never arrived. We tried to tell our server but the one time he stopped by our table, he left too quickly to get the message out. When it came time to bring the check, we just asked that the clam chowders be removed from the bill. Regardless, I would love to come back and try more of what Mission Rock has to offer! read more

We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for drinks around 3:30pm. The downstairs bar was not open so we went to the bar upstairs. It took the bartender a while to acknowledge us. There were some empty tables on the outdoor balcony but it seems you can only sit there if you order food. So we brought our drinks downstairs and sat on the outdoor back patio. It's covered which was nice because it was a very sunny. There's also heat lamps if it gets cold. We ordered a glass of the Resort Spritz $14 which I think will be my go to drink from now on and a glass of La Crema Chardonnay $13 which was nice too. Note: Happy hour is Tuesday - Friday from 3pm - 6pm where you can get oysters for $1.50 each. (Their advertisement in the men's bathroom needs updating. It still says it's Monday - Friday and oysters are $1) read more

Frito Misto- super crispy mix of seafood that was wonderful with the two typical sauces. The zucchini and jalapeño was nice as well. I was surprised with the fried lemon too but that was really good surprisingly Blackened Salmon- nice crispy and soft salmon. The rainbow chard and jambalaya were nice pairings with the salmon Ahi Tuna- very flavorful and the chips helped bring that extra texture. Wish there were more chips Burrata- crispy bread with the soft Burrata was a match made well. Adding the salad of arugula as well with each bite made it even better Nice water front restaurant with amazing food. We wanted to share a bunch of dishes together to try a bit of everything which was a good choice to make for us. read more

I work nearby and had been wanting to try this place out for a while, so my friend and I decided dinner by the water on a warm day sounded perfect. We shared the Ceviche and Nicoise salad, and both were generously sized and thoughtfully prepared. Service was attentive and kind, as we were enjoying our food, conversation, and the relaxing view so much that we didn't realize that the restaurant had closed... But the staff did not rush us! It felt like being on vacation, thanks Mission Rock team! read more

This is such a nice restaurant to spend at on a beautiful day. They have such a beautiful bay view from the upstairs seating area. Our really nice and friendly server took our order of ceviche verde, raw oysters, drinks, and the papas bravas. The ceviche verde was so fresh and flavorful with the verde lemon sauce. The papas bravas were super crispy and tasted delicious with the aoili sauce. The oysters however weren't tasting the best, but for $1.50 each during happy hour, it was such a great deal. read more

Been going to this restaurant for years and has always been a solid spot with delicious food, lots of space and plenty of parking. They also have an outdoor patio that looks into the Bay.

Everything came out quickly and the servers were really friendly. Definitely will keep coming back. read more

If you're heading to Chase Center for a concert/game, or looking for something fun by the water to enjoy seafood, sips, and just enjoy SF, give Mission Rock Resort a try. This was the first time we tried lunch at Mission Rock and it was poppin'. There was a fundraising event happening and the Mayor of SF was actually in attendance, so it was an incredibly fun moment to be present in. People were really loving the space (there's two levels), with views and brews flowing. We ordered a cup of the clam chowder, garlic fries for the table, and split the lobster roll. First time sitting outside and it was so lovely. We're used to SF seafood fun at the Pier, so this is a nice alternative in what's normally a sleepy part of SF on non-game/event days. Everything was so flavorful and fresh ~ they asked if we were splitting the sandwich and went ahead and plated the halves for us with a side salad/fries. I haven't had garlic fries in years ~ these were crisp and packed the punch. The lobster was delicious, the actual bread itself was soft and pillowy. Would love to come back on a Saturday game day to enjoy a few more items from the menu ~ the burger looked juicy! To note, the menu is extensive with a little bit of something for everyone (and non-seafood lovers too!) Brunch on weekends, lunch/dinner (starting on Tuesday), and there's a more casual cafe downstairs with no reservations needed or table side service (order at the counter/first come, first served). Service was very attentive, parking can be found outside or if needed, Chase Center has an indoor lot (a bit pricey). Reservations recommended if not for the cafe, check hours ahead of time for specifics. Pricing fair and reasonable for fresh SF seafood with a view. read more

This is an excellent venue with a great waterfront space to enjoy! There was plenty of space and room inside, outside on the patio, and even out front on this wide street and sidewalk. For context, this is the city I'm talking about. The food was great, the drink selection was great, and the people working there were also great! They were highly attentive and very nice. I even had a unique Golden State cider called Big Dub following the zeitgeist of the Dubs - Warrriorrrrs! Team spirit - Cheers! read more

We stopped by after lunch, so we were not super hungry, but wanted to catch up, sip on some bubbly, and enjoy the perfect sunny SF weather. We were greeted right away by the host and directed upstairs. We wanted to sit outdoors, but since there weren't any open tables, we asked if we could stay downstairs instead. They said yes, but here's the odd part, we had to order our drinks upstairs and bring them down ourselves. But also had to close out the bill prior but also had the option to tip, without even getting service. We ordered a bottle of bubbly, and it was a little awkward having to carry the bottle, glasses, and ice bucket down the stairs on our own. Not a huge deal, but definitely unexpected considering we just got a bottle. Still, we were set on staying downstairs (and already paid for parking), so we rolled with it. To snack on, we ordered six oysters and garlic fries, which were surprisingly good! Later, someone had reserved the downstairs area for a private event, so when we went to order a second bottle, they asked us to head back upstairs. Luckily, this time we snagged a table outside and got wings to go with our next bottle. The evening staff seemed a bit friendlier than the earlier crew, but it could've just been timing. Overall, we had a nice time, the weather was perfect, the drinks hit the spot, and it was a great place to unwind. We'll definitely be back, next time for a full meal and not just bubbles and a view! read more

Was looking for a place to grab some food before an event at the Chase Center and stumbled across Mission Rock Resort. We got there around 3:00 PM without a reservation and were seated upstairs. The upstairs area has a great nautical vibe with tons of natural light and views of the water. There's outdoor seating on the balcony, but we opted for a table inside with an ocean view -- still very scenic and relaxing. There seemed to be several servers around, but we had to flag someone down to place our order. It felt like there was some miscommunication among the staff, but once our server arrived, the service was solid. We started with a round of cocktails and shared the Petite Shellfish Platter, which came with oysters, prawns, Ahi tuna, and ceviche. Everything was super fresh -- the oysters were delicious (can't remember the origin, but they were quality), the prawns were huge, the tuna was clean and not fishy at all, and the ceviche was flavorful and refreshing. Mission Rock Resort clearly knows how to handle seafood. If you're heading to an event at the Chase Center, it's definitely worth stopping here first for a good meal and great views. read more

The brownie dessert was quite good, really hit the spot. read more

It's been a bit since we've been here, but if anything, MRR has gotten better. Made a pregame reservation for our party- pro tip... on game days, eat there earlier since the street parking turns to Special Event parking and you get towed from the block IFO the restaurant unless you pay the $50+ parking fee. Anyways, we received a friendly greeting from the host and were seated on the bayside patio. It was a nice day and the view was awesome. Ordered some HH apps; tuna poke, oysters, potato tapas, and frito misto... all were very good. For our entrees, we had the fish and chips, fish tacos, vongole, and crab sandwich- everything was very good. We finished with the brownie cookie sundae. Nice job MRR! read more

My friends and I were celebrating a birthday in the group and decided to have dinner at Mission Rock. Immediately upon entering, I noticed that the restaurant is very large. There is seating downstairs, seating upstairs, and seating outside on an upstairs balcony. The restaurant overlooks the water, which makes for a beautiful meal! We were there during sunset and very much enjoyed the views. Although the restaurant is large, the person who took our orders was very attentive and came by the table multiple times to check on us. We ordered an assortment of dishes, and they were all excellent! The Mac & cheese was really filling, and the vongole tasted delicious. The bread was nice and warm, and it was paired with a yummy butter that had a great whipped texture. The clam chowder also hit the spot, and the frito mixto came with fried veggies mixed in. We really enjoyed our dinner at Mission Rock. I highly recommend it! read more

I came to Mission Rock Resort for a happy hour with my coworkers early on a Friday evening. It's a cute restaurant next to a shipping yard. The view of the bay is pretty although not as aesthetic as some might imagine due to the aforementioned shipyard. I was greeted when I walked in and led upstairs to the group reservation. My table of twelve was seated on the balcony where we had a view of the bay and some seagulls that were hanging around nearby waiting for patrons to toss them scraps. The waiters were attentive and came by to give us menus and take our drink orders. I had a garden party (mint, basil, cucumber, lime) which was refreshing but the basil was a bit strong and I would have liked a little more of the mint flavor. My coworker gave me a sip of her pineapple express (lime, agave, pineapple, jalapeño, tajin) which had a sweet and tart flavor but with a spicy kick from the jalapeño and tajin. We ordered some finger food for the table: garlic fries, Thai fried chicken, oysters, sourdough, and street corn. The garlic fries were alright: nice and crispy exterior with fluffy interior, but nothing to write home about. The street corn was good: sweet corn kernels with slight spicy crema. I especially liked the Thai fried chicken, which had such a crispy skin coated with sweet sauce and sprinkled with nutty sesame seeds and fresh scallions. The oysters were great too and were served with different sauces. I didn't take any photos of the food, but I did think it was a nice restaurant and I wouldn't mind coming back here again. read more

Perfect spot right across from Chase Center! We came in before a concert after a long drive, a little parched and in need of a quick pick-me-up. Parking was easy, which was a huge plus. They were a bit busy when we arrived, but the front greeter was fantastic, she gave us helpful tips about the area and found us great outdoor seating. The views are so pretty! Juan took our order and made our drinks, and honestly, they were the best Palomas I've had in SF. We kept it light with clam chowder and fries, but everything was delicious. The dishes being served around us looked incredible..the wings especially looked juicy and so tempting. We'll definitely be back to try more! Also, I happened to lose a gold ring during our visit. Hoping a kind soul turned it in, fingers crossed! read more

This review is for their Happy Hour only - every Tues-Fri 3-6pm, at the bar only. Mission Rock is one of the classic restaurants in SF, great location and view, solid HH (not many places you can find $1.50 oysters anymore in the city!). We got a dozen oysters to share, and 2 glasses of wine. The oysters came out quickly, and were a little small but still good with the mignionette and lemon juice. We also ordered the HH Papas Bravas, which also came quickly and was deliciously fried and spiced. Service at the bar was quick and friendly. Great spot to hit up for HH, although it probably gets busy on game days due to its proximity to Chase Center. Not to hard to find paid parking along the street right outside. read more

I went there with a friend, who lives nearby, for dinner one January evening. We didn't make reservations---so we didn't get seats next to the waterfront---but we could see those seats and appreciate why people love those seats. We ordered two salads. Both were tasty and plentiful. The cost was not too high, considering the location of the restaurant. The service was pretty good. I hope to go back there, with a reservation, to enjoy the waterfront seats some day. read more

Best chowder and Shrimp Louis salad and fresh oysters in SF. Views are spectacular. The best choice at. The best prices!

Had a very wonderful birthday brunch out on the patio deck here. They were kind enough to store a birthday cake I brought and cutting it with no extra fee. Staff overall was kind and accommodating until one of us slipped on something wet on the floor at which point one staff member promptly came up to us immediately denying fault saying she didn't see anything wet on the floor- not a great way to handle the situation; manager came over later to apologize but that was it. Food a drinks were pretty good - the nicoise definitely wasn't a traditional approach and the salmon was overcooked but it was still well seasoned. The garlic fries were what you should write home about! Great fry. I enjoyed my cocktails and the waitress was happy to accommodate my preference on sweetness. Unfortunately didn't take pictures of the food (woopsies, first time for me lol); but the views were beautiful of the marina and the deck is sheltered from the wind. Great spot for group events, walking distance to Midway. read more

Another SF restaurant still fleecing customers with a 6% surcharge & high tip expectations While this restaurant has a great location on the waterfront and is very convenient for those attending the Chase Center, it's an SF restaurant that still adds 6% to the bill for what they call a 'surcharge'. Most employers in SF are required to pay benefits for their workers but this restaurant choses to avoid paying that cost from menu prices and prefers to fleece the diners. Just reprint the menu and include it in the price of the food. The added insult is that you also pay sales tax on the surcharge, then they have the nerve to tell diners the standard tip amount is either 20%, 22% or 25%. With the 8+% sales tax, that means your bill is up to 39% more than the quoted menu price. Add to that watery cocktails & inattentive service snd it is all a bit insulting. The food was average 'pub' style fare. Come for the view, the convenience and a beer or wine perhaps. read more

We went back to Mission Rock for dinner again last night. My husband and I both love their clam chowder and both our meals - roasted beet salad and Petrale Sole - were fantastic. Forgot to take pictures of them but took a pic of the delicious chocolate cake for dessert. It is right on SF bay, although no bridges or special scenery other than seagulls, boats and the bay are easily seen from your table if you choose outside seating- there are heaters! We drove up at 6:30pm on a Thursday evening and found parking directly in front on the street. It is free after 6 PM, important to know there was no Valkyries game at Chase that night. The stadium is easy walking distance from the restaurant. We took our dog earlier this year... he loved it too. *Not crazy about 6% surcharge. read more

Really enjoyed the ambience of this place! Very fun water side restaurant with a gorgeous view of the bay. But.. service was just kind of meh. The hostess was unfriendly and unwelcoming. She kinda just handed us menus and shoo'd us upstairs then when we got up there no one was there so it was kind of just awkward at first. Eventually someone saw us and sat us at a table outside. Food came out slow for not many tables being there. The wings were overcooked and dry. Lobster roll with fries were cold like they sat out for a while before making it out to us. I couldn't even get myself to finish it. Fish tacos were pretty unseasoned and nothing special. The best part about this place is obviously the views but a bit out of the way and overpriced for the quality. read more
