Neighborhood gem

Anchored within the historic Richmond Marina neighborhood, with perhaps the most beautiful and inclusive views in the Bay Area, Assemble Kitchen offers a casual and approachable experience with a hint of history that both roots you to the present and takes you back in time.

Assemble Kitchen has been wowing its patrons since it opened in February 2013. Located next to the spectacular Craneway Pavilion and adjacent the Rosie the Riveter Visitor’s center, our stylish industrial décor complements our modern menu of “re-tooled American classics.”

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Assemble Kitchen offers a "great location" with a scenic bay view, making it a perfect spot for Marin and East Bay diners. While the ambiance and "terrific" waitstaff add charm, the restaurant faces challenges with reservations and service consistency. Despite these, its inviting atmosphere and flavorful food remain appealing.

We made a lunch reservation through OpenTable and when we arrived the restaurant was closed! No mention online of they would be closed on Saturday for lunch even though their Google Maps listing shows they would be open. Very disappointing!

The atmosphere, waitstaff and bartender were terrific. The food included tepid soup served in a doll sized cup, a grilled cheese sandwich that looked like it had been assembled by a toddler, and nachos which were passable. What a lost opportunity with such a special view and great people in the front house. Might come again for drinks.

food was great, and the view and ambience are unbeatable, and our server was very nice, but the service was extremely slow but I will go back again because they've just reopened under new management and they have a good menu as well.

Great and unique location especially if you’re visiting the Rosie the Riveter museum. Nice view of San Francisco. Really good Tuna Melt sandwich. Tasty fries. Friendly service.

I had a good hamburger, a bit messy since it wouldn't stay together but the flavor was good with the brioche bun. This is a good place to bring friends for a casual lunch.

Hadn’t been to Assemble since before Covid. There has been some remodeling and it is more comfortable and the new tables replacing funky, sticky tabletops is a bonus. Food was good, service hampered by lack of staff….4 servers called in sick. All in all a good time and a good meet up place for Marin, East Bay diners.
