Description: Located on the waterfront in historic Jack London Square, lies Kincaid's Bayhouse. Truly, today's interpretation of a traditional Fish, Chop and Steakhouse. One will find the food and beverage to be the finest available and where possible, prepared and served in the tradition of an old-time Fish and Steakhouse. Fresh fish flown in daily, prime select cuts of beef, along with signature dessert items are just a few reasons that set Kincaid's apart from other restaurants.

“Lived up to Reputation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2013 via mobile

We were looking for a good seafood resturant that offered a good steak meal as well. I asked a native who was familiar with every resturant in the Oakland Downtown area and she recommended Kincaid's in Jack London's Square. Kincaid's food was teriffic and atmosphere was cool. The crab/artichoke appetizer was to die for. We sat down shortly after 5pm. We left around 7:30pm and the crowd that started to muster was young and vibrant--what a nice scene in such an urban place. The waterfront at night was cool.

“An enjoyable Sunday Brunch”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

I have eaten here before but only in the evenings. The place was rather quiet on this Sunday lunchtime and was therefore lacking the atmosphere that I enjoyed previously. The rather tired decor was also evident but the view and location made up for this. The Eggs Benedict and Burger were enjoyable especially when washed down with a well-priced bottle of wine. Service was very good. This place certainly stays on my list of places to dine in the Bay Area.

Rockafeller oysters were very good, steak had to be returned as undercooked.

Good wine selection, good service, nice atmosphere
