Best Waterfront Restaurants in Pinole

We really enjoyed our lunch at Bella Siena. The filet beef carpaccio was amazing! We had a variety of dishes (gnocchi pesto, lobster ravioli, frutti di mare, pappardelle) at our table of 5 and a couple people had special requests (such as no tomatoes or no salmon in the Frutti do Mare) and the restaurant was happy to make adjustments to any meal. All pasta tasted homemade! In addition to having a fantastic meal, the restaurant has a very nice view of the water from the dining area. I’d definitely recommend Bella Siena if you want quality Italian food! We will definitely be back.

We are Berkeley locals and The Boathouse is one of our favorite places to dine.

Christmas prix fixe menu was just delicious and a good value. Service was efficient and attentive for a bustling night. The only downside- cold in the restaurant. Had to keep my coat on, many diners as well. Lobster Bisque is delicious, the Crab and Artichoke dip very tasty. Entrees were great- PrimeRib, Surf and Turf, tender and well seasoned Swordfish. We would go again and probably will next year.

Wow! We greatly enjoyed our Christmas Eve meal. We had a late seating and is typical during the Holidays. reservations were running a little late. No problem, our host walked us to the bar and saw that we were comfortably seated and introduced us to our bartender Jim -- who was great! Our dinner was excellent, all of our courses arrived in a timely manner and were well prepared. All the staff were both friendly and professional and added to our dining experience. The dining is beautiful any time of year, but especially for the Christmas Holiday.

This is a lovely setting overlooking the Berkeley Marina boat basin. Very warm heat lamps with a nice sense of sheltered open air seating. Had tacos and shrimp with grits. Very tasty
