Epic Roast House

Epic Roasthouse is a beautiful restaurant serving the best meat dishes, as well as a few alternative selections. Food is excellent, portions are large. Great for a group - plan to share some appetizers or the charcuterie plate. The view of the Bay Bridge and across the Bay to Berkeley/Oakland is beautiful. There is also an outdoor patio.

Checked out the Epic Roast House Bar (upstairs from the dining room) before dining next door at the WaterBar. Ordered an appetizer from the bar menu - fried softshell crab over a slice of watermelon with basil paste. Sounds weird but was truly extraordinary! Bar allows you to order "splashes" or "glasses" which is a nice way to try out a few different glasses while enjoying the stellar view of the bay or the elegant dining room below. The bar is designed to look a bit more old school - steak house like- and at 7pm - 8pm on a Saturday definitely attracted a crowd in their 30s and 40s. Very friendly wait staff and good service. A bit of an annoying draft if you sit at one of the tables near the stairwell. Dining area is very cool setting - that I hope to try sometime!

The interior design of this place is remarkable. It is a great open bright space with huge windows that provide great views of the bay and bay bridge. The food was good, but nowhere near the best steak I've had. This is a great place if you want to wine and dine clients or impress someone. Everything is priced ala carte and is very pricey. Sorry to say, but if I want a spectacular steak at these prices I may look to another place like Ruth's Chris.
