River Deck - Hayward

Absolutely delicious steak, baked bride and cocktails. Our server was very nice and offered us another table with a screen for a little protection from the elements. Great evening

Came for dinner before the Lumberjack Show. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. The menu is small and raised, mostly steak and seafood. We had baked Brie, Tenderloin and Steak Salat, all very well. The service was fast. Food came slow, but for the price you pay, it is nice to relax, take your time and enjoy the view.

The food and the atmosphere never disappoints, in fact I always have a great time here. The tuna nachos, every fish dish in general, is absolutely delicious. Servers are always great, super helpful and friendly. The only nitpick I have is with the bar.. with drinks around $10-$12 per piece, you would think you get a decent portion of alcohol, but after 2 cocktails (especially badly made mojitos with sweet and sour and what I think is rose lime juice, 5 slices lime, hardly mint, etc... that confused me because they were earlier phenomenal) I could hardly taste alcohol, even in my old fashion. Didn't even have a buzzole. I'll stay with water, beer or soda the next time.

Eating was expensive, $19 for a hamburger. Grilled chicken salad was good, service was good. I'd go back, not too often, occasionally.

While it may be a bit on the pricey side, the food was excellent and the staff was friendly and attentive. It is a weird sensation, the whole setup and food quality feels like you should be in some stuffy setting, but the outdoor seating was nice but not pretentious. Oh, and go for ice cream next door to really finish off your meal. Overall a most enjoyable dining experience for the whole family.
