In 1969, Al Falchi converted a former San Francisco shoremen's bar into a restaurant called The Waterfront. A mile from fisherman's Wharf, and with a view that eclipsed that famous tourist hub, it soon became a favorite of local politicians and business people. And, in time, local and foreign visitors were drawn by its breathtaking Bayscape. Today, The Waterfront is the choice of presidents and princes, celebrities and travelers who want to make their San Francisco dining experience a memorable one.
