Any restaurants in the Bay Area with a ocean view and sunset?

Question

I'm new to the Bay Area and I wanted to take my girlfriend to a nice restaurant where we can see the ocean and sunset. Almost like a picture.

Answer 1

Not too many on the ocean.

Beach Chalet, SF

Moss Beach Distillery, Moss Beach

NIck's at the Cove in Tomales-$$$$$$

Cliff House, SF

Answer 2

Which bay?

If it is San Fransisco email me.

Answer 3

The beach chalet is nice, and I recommend that.

I despise the new cliff house.  They completely redid it.  It used to be a classy old wooden structure with a very warm atmosphere.  Now it's a modern wealth spot.  Don't go there :(

Answer 4

If you like Chinese food, try Hong Kong East Ocean in Emeryville:

This one is also not exactly "ocean" front, but you can actually see both the Golden Gate and the Bay Bridge clearly from this one spot.  It also has a walking path around the restaurant and benches to sit on pretty close to the water.  The food is pretty good and the place is huge, so there usually isn't too much wait (unless there is a wedding reception or some other banquet going on).  Make reservations just in case.

Oh, and they have dim sum as well, so if you decide not to go here for your romantic sunset dinner, definitely consider it for a nice weekend dim sum "brunch"

Answer 5

I agree with the Cliff House,  great view and the food is pretty decent as well.  By the way, to those that asked what bay,  this question is posted in dining out in San Francisco,  so you don't need to be a detective to figure out what bay...get it?

Answer 6

In addition to the Beach Chalet and Cliff House you could try:

Greens in Ft. Mason, the best vegitarian food in the city and right on the bay.

Skates on the Bay in Berkeley wonderful view of the sun set over the San Francisco Skyline.

Edit:  The Hyatt that revolves that jojo suggested is closed.  Probably for the best because the food was awful!

Answer 7

cliff house in san francisco

Answer 8

The Cliff House....historic restaurant with beautiful views on the SF Bay.

Answer 9

which bay????????????????????????

Answer 10

the Hyatt it revolves its so beautiful

Answer 11

The answers above are correct, and about all that is available in San Francisco, if you really want OCEAN view.  Unfortunately, none of them have very good food.  Our ocean in San Francisco is usually very cold and foggy, so there aren't a lot of nice restaurants on the far west side of town.

Best restaurant for your purposes might be Greens at Fort Mason.  It's on the waterfront, but technically not ocean, it's on the SF Bay with a beautiful west-facing view of the Golden Gate Bridge at sunset.  But the food is delicious and the service is very good, and parking is easy there.

Answer 12

Miss Gaucho is absolutely correct.  If you do choose Cliff House or Beach Chalet make reservations.
