SEAGLASS Restaurant is a 200 seat venue located on the first level of the Observatory at the new Exploratorium on pier 15. The food and beverages offered at SEAGLASS are healthy and multicultural, and created with both adults and children in mind.
The restaurant’s design seamlessly blends with the museum experience in a number of ways, bringing exhibits to life for museum diners. SEAGLASS’ bar top, a centerpiece of the restaurant, was created by senior artist Shawn Lani to reflect his exhibit, Icy Bodies.
Picking up on the themes of algae, seawater, and the origins of life exhibits, SEAGLASS serves living foods and an array of seaweeds.
Partnering with local suppliers of sustainable and organic foods allows our chefs to create dynamic and ever-evolving menus that reflect where and who we are. SEAGLASS’ bar showcases artisanal distillers, many organic, and a thoughtfully curated wine and beer list. In addition to its spirited beverages, SEAGLASS offers natural soft drinks, sparkling house-made drinking vinegar beverages, and organic and Fair Trade coffees and teas.
SEAGLASS is open during the Exploratorium’s operating hours and does not accept reservations. The entrance to SEAGLASS for non-museum goers is located at the East end of pier 15.

About
Bon Appétit
Bon Appétit Management Company is an onsite restaurant company that provides café and catering services to corporations, colleges and universities, and specialty venues at more than 500 locations in 31 states. Founded in 1987, we've been operating in a socially responsible manner since before most restaurant companies had ever heard the word "sustainability." We serve 130 million meals annually that are not only delicious, they embody core values — about health, dignity, community, and conservation — that we take very seriously.
Loretta Keller, a 2009 James Beard Foundation Award Finalist for Best Chef in the California/Pacific region, is known for her use of high-quality, small production ingredients in menus heavily influenced by the flavors of southern Europe and the Mediterranean. In 2008, she redefined the museum dining experience to great success with the opening of the Academy Café and the Moss Room at the California Academy of Sciences.
Bon Appétit's industry-leading sustainability commitments and high standards for customer service and high-quality food are the perfect complement for the cutting-edge culinary prowess of Chef Loretta. This unique partnership sets Curiosity Catering apart from most catering organizations, giving us both outstanding culinary credentials and a long history of successfully catering high-end, high-profile events for clients throughout the U.S.
In addition to our proud role as in-house caterer at the new Exploratorium, we are also debuting three new restaurant concepts. While open to the public during Exploratorium hours of operation, these restaurants are exclusively available as event locations for our special event clients.
