Welcome Aboard!

The Restaurant

Ellen McCarty and Kevin Weinberg opened the Walnut Creek Yacht Club in May of 1997 with the mission of bringing the finest and freshest from the sea to Walnut Creek. We work exclusively with Osprey Seafood Company, known for using only the highest quality and freshest seafood on the market. Our relationship with Osprey is more than just business: Kevin’s brother-in-law, Mike Weinberg-Lynn, owns Osprey. This relationship, coupled with our high standards and care, guarantees our guests the kind of high-quality seafood for which the San Francisco Bay Area is famous. When we say “fresh,” we really mean it. Our seafood has never been frozen, either in shipping or processing. When we receive it, we keep it in its pristine state with very careful handling. After we portion it, we keep it packed in crushed ice until we are ready to cook it for you.

Our non-seafood items are also from suppliers who are top in their fields. Our house bread is called Acme Levain and is made for us by Acme Bread Company. Our beef is supplied by Meyer Family Ranch and 100% hormone and antibiotic free. Our poultry Rocky Jr. free range from Petaluma. Our produce is all hand picked by Joe Rubino and family. Our ice cream is from The Latest Scoop in Berkeley. Just about everything else is made in house, from our mayonnaise, salad dressings, and sauces for the fish, to our WCYC Clam Chowder, which is already justly famous.

The Bar

We have a full bar, with a fine selection of single malt scotches, and a super lineup of top-notch rums from around the world. Add to that 6 great beers on tap and over a dozen wines by the glass. Then there is Manuel, he is your mixologist. Manuel is there to shake you a fabulous martini or a delicious margarita. We also offer a great cocktail list. Our bar is a great place to tie up and have a drink and some oysters, which will be shucked right before you. The full menu is available at the bar at lunch and dinner.

The Market

Our market offers you the opportunity to bring our top-grade Osprey seafood home. If you would like to pick up some of our pristine seafood and homemade sauces to take home with you, just let your server know. We will have it ready for you when you are on your homeward course. Or stop in just to pick up something to take home and prepare. Please do not hesitate to ask if we can get you something that you do not see listed on our board. We’ll do our best to fill your special requests.
