A waterfront seafood tavern built around a wood-fired Santa Maria grill burning red oak, turning out smoke-kissed oysters, paella, and grilled catch with a technique you don't often see in San Francisco. The real draw is the setting—panoramic sightlines to Oracle Park and the Bay Bridge from the patio, which makes it a natural staging point for groups heading to Chase Center or Giants games. Expect SF waterfront pricing and a noise bump on event nights, but on a calm evening, it delivers a relaxed bayside dinner with real cooking behind it.
Must-Try Dishes:
Drake's Bay Oysters, Fish and Chips, Crab Cake
What Makes it Special: Waterfront seafood tavern cooking over a wood-fired Santa Maria grill with red oak, right on the Bay with panoramic views of Oracle Park and the Bay Bridge
Rotating vendor focused on crispy fish and shrimp tacos with citrusy slaw and house sauces. A fast, affordable seafood option inside SPARK Social’s lively lineup.
Must-Try Dishes:
