Came before the concert at Chase Center. Had mussels, fish and chips, cocktails and wine. The food was average and atmosphere ok if you not sitting at water front seats. Thank you

Excellent location and view. Outstanding service all the way around. I only wish they had mermaid merch to match their logo & branding ;). Food was great, a couple people said the dishes could be elevated, but that is more of a casual place so it was perfect. Great place to bring huge groups or small groups, especially if you're going to an event nearby. On the waterfront!

It was my first visit here and I had a perfect experience. Oyster of the day were the best I’ve had, I ordered them twice because it was very fresh. Of course other plates are excellent as well. It’s a 15 min Uber ride from the city center, so if you want to have a leisurely meal, make sure to come here.

Came here for happy hour - oysters were fine, but I’ve had better happy hour oysters for similar price points (e.g., Waterbar). The location is great with lots of outdoor seating, but the reserved outdoor seating is significantly better than the walk-in outdoor seating. Overall decent experience, but not sure I would make the trek all the way back.

We have been here a few of times for lunch, when in the area. We usually order a fish plate. It is always good and fresh. And a nice presentation. We usually sit upstairs on the deck. Overlooking the bay. On our last visit we were a little late during the lunch rush. It looked like there was some event and most everyone sat outside. We were one of the few seated inside. Our waitress was very friendly and tried her best to serve us, as well as many tables outside. We still plan to return next time We are in the area.

Mission Rock Resort is a fantastic spot that combines incredible food with stunning views. The oysters are absolutely amazing – fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. They’re a must-try for any seafood lover. The rest of the menu is just as impressive, with dishes that are well-crafted and delicious. What truly elevates the experience is the view. Overlooking the water, it’s the perfect setting for a relaxing meal or a special occasion. The ambiance is laid-back yet classy, making it ideal for both casual outings and more formal gatherings. If you’re looking for great food and a beautiful waterfront dining experience, Mission Rock Resort is the place to go. Highly recommended!
