Chef Justin is great at making sauces, and we're great at eating them. He ferments pineapple and habañero for a special oyster sauce and makes a great gastrique for the crispy squid! Join us for outdoor dining or order pickup or takeout at waterbarsf.com.

This drink is special to us. It looks like the bay bridge sunset colors-- and is named after Jose Zapata our dear coworker that has passed away recently. He was a bar back, cellar assistant and bartender. We miss him so much. His personality and attitude is what we strike for.
