I stumbled upon this spot today on a solo drive and it did not disappoint! I really liked the menu options but I of course had to get the fish and chips. They also had a great selection of drinks options, both non-alcoholic and with alcohol. There is lots of outdoor seating as well as indoor seating. I happened to go on a day when a live band was playing so that was really fun! The staff is great too. I also love that it’s right next to the water so you can walk around and enjoy the most beautiful view of SF, Alcatraz and Angel Island. I definitely recommend checking this place out when you can!

Delicious food and amazing music! Stunning views of the bay and city. A must if you come visit San Francisco! The staff and owner are so charming and caring.
Tacos were incredible. Ceasar salad was excellent. Burger and Beyond Burger were top notch! Fries were generously proportioned.
The Heath Proskin Trio were very classy!

Wow. I rode the little ferry to check out Treasure Island, hoping to find a nice place for lunch. And I surely did. It’s a pleasant walk from the ferry dock. The vies of the city skyline from my table was enough to make it special. I had a croissant BLT from the daily specials and it was truly wonderful. A real buttery croissant and high quality bacon. Nice people and all around pleasant place.

We came to Mersea on a Sunday for brunch. It’s a very nice and clean restaurant. Seating is self seat, so you just go grab a seat, then go to the counter to order. For an appetizer we got the pretzel sticks, and for the entrees, we got the fish n chips, the burger, and a salad. After ordering, the food took a while to come out. It was a bit longer than we expected. That was the only negative part about the service. Once it came, the food was really good. The fish was phenomenally crispy but the chips were a bit thick and under seasoned. If you’re expecting regular fries, they’re actually steak fries. Burger was great and same with the salad. The restaurant itself is very nice. There is live music and a nice view of the SF skyline and the Bay. It was a bit windy if you sit outside, but they offer indoor and outdoor seating. They allow dogs and even have a dog menu so you can order food for your dog. Overall very great experience and would recommend coming.

View is amazing! This is my ultimate favorite spot. I hang out for food, view, music and Friends. I am having virgin mojitos and spinach dip with pita bread.

Great food, great customer service, and beautiful view of the San Francisco skyline! Delicious french fries, tacos, and fish and chips. MeeSun is the owner. You’ll probably see her and her dog interacting with customers. She is a pleasure to meet and always goes above and beyond to make sure customers have a great dining experience. Strongly recommend a visit!

A charming viewpoint on Treasure Island. We had spinach dip with piña coladas, and it was the perfect match for our little day trip.

What a wonderful spot! Dog-friendly, owner-friendly, and full of great vibes — this place has it all. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious. I had the hummus, the halibut salad, and of course, their famous fish and chips — every bite was amazing. Whether you’re new to the city or a local looking to add a gem to your restaurant bucket list, this is a must-try. Did I mention it’s dog-friendly? That might just be my favorite part. If you have a pup, this is the perfect place to bring them. You can tell the owner is a dog lover too, which makes it all the more special.
Sorry no pic of salad I thought about it after it landed in my belly ha. But wow.

Mersea Restaurant & Bar has a really cool vibe and an amazing setting that immediately stands out. From the moment you arrive, the views alone make it worth the trip–they’re expansive, unique, and offer a totally different perspective of the city.
The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a great place to sit back and enjoy your surroundings. It feels open, airy, and thoughtfully designed, with a vibe that works just as well for a casual hangout as it does for a longer meal.
The food was good and satisfying, with a menu that pairs nicely with the setting. Everything we tried was enjoyable and well prepared, making it easy to relax and take your time without feeling rushed.
One of the highlights of the visit was meeting one of the owners, who was walking around the restaurant, interacting with tables and personally saying hello. That kind of presence really stood out and gave the space such a welcoming, community-focused feel.
Mersea is a great place to check out if you want to see a different side of the area and enjoy great views in a laid-back setting. Between the atmosphere, the food, and the personal touch from ownership, it’s an experience worth having.
