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, in an atmosphere that was fun, friendly and relaxed. We want our guest to be comfortable and feel welcome, like they belong. All our guests are instantly members of our club, the Walnut Creek Yacht Club. So if you are reading this you’re a member. We recycle all our cardboard, paper, plastic, metal and glass.  We are using CFL light bulbs where ever we can.

The Menu

We want the quality of our products to speak for us. We think carefully about all the products we serve and who we buy them from. We are trans fat free and fry either in olive oil or canola oil only. We are now high fructose corn syrup free. Our sodas are all natural and made from pure can sugar. Our ketchup is also organic and made with cane sugar. Our Limenade is made in house. The diet soda is made with saccirin. Some more here?

All our seafood is supplied exclusively by Osprey Seafood Company, they are known for using only the highest quality and freshest seafood on the market. They also have a great reputation for serving San Francisco's finest restaurants for more than 25 years. 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 and humanely raised. Our chicken is Rocky Jr., free range from Petaluma. Our produce is all hand picked and delivered by Joe Rubino and family, a second generation Contra Costa provider. Joe uses local growers Northern California family growers for as much as he can. Our ice cream is from a small top quality producer, The Latest Scoop in Berkeley. Our freezer hold ice cream and French fries and that’s about it, 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 and all of our desserts.

The Bar

We have a full bar, we pour a premium well and have a fine selection of single malt scotches, and a super lineup of top-notch rums from around the world. Remember, Rum every sailor’s choice. Add to that 6 great beers on tap (2 made just for us by EJ Phair in concord) and over a dozen wines by the glass. Then there is Manuel, he is our mixologist or as we like to say our bar chef. Manuel is there to shake you a fabulous martini or a delicious margarita. We also offer a great cocktail list with many of our award winning drinks. Our bar is a great place to tie up and have a drink and some oysters or a full meal. The entire menu is available at the bar at lunch and dinner. Meet friends or make friends.

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 phone ahead and we will have it ready to pick up when you get here, you can 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.
