What a pleasant discovery! The diamond in the Treasure Island rough! If you’ve been to Treasure Island recently or even for awhile now, you’ve noticed how everything is fenced off-limits and accessed only to either construction or mass industrial storage. It wasn’t always that way. I could remember when we visited a number of years ago to see the construction of the new Bay Bridge, just how tranquil and picturesque the island was and how spectacular the views are of San Francisco and back to the East Bay was. A large open area next to the Treasure Isle Marina and an expansive grass area along the Avenue Of The Palms. Not to mention, the rich history of the island’s 1939-40 Golden Gate International Exposition, the World’s Fair. And the China Clippers that used to dock there. Fast forward to whenever the transformation took place, all that inviting space is now fenced off and not accessible as mentioned, replaced by what seems to be perpetual dirt and industrial storage.
And that’s why Mersea Restaurant was such a magnificent find, right there at the middle of the West side of the island, at the end of Avenue Of The Palms along the Bay hidden in an Island that has been left disheveled and unkempt. The restaurant is like an oasis, maybe it was a mirage, but nonetheless it is definitely a restaurant worth visiting from either sides of the Bay, or when your commute traffic stalls on the bridge, take a load off, relax with a nice meal and a mohito at Mersea Restaurant until the commute hours pass. Enjoy the panoramic view of San Francisco that hasn’t been replaced, albeit having few places to stop to enjoy it now, except at Mersea Restaurant and the small patch of grass left in front of the restaurant. The food was good, prices were average, and the portions were sufficient. There is a bar inside the restaurant and one outside right next to the restaurant. A small indoor dining area, but plenty of outdoor dining or drinking space. You’ll have to order at the bar inside and pick up your food when the pager they hand you buzzes. So kinda self-service but they will gladly help you take your food to your table as they did ours. The host and the person serving the food were especially pleasant, greeted us with huge smiles, a definite plus in this day and age! The atmosphere is casual and there is a bocce court and a professional level putting green surrounded by hearty succulents. When we were there on Saturday 9/10/2022 at noon, there was live music too. Just go, you won’t be disappointed!
