Arrival by boat. Waterfront views. A floor-to-ceiling jellyfish aquarium. Have you ever wanted to dine like the millionaire Jay Gatsby from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby”? Pretty soon, you’ll get your chance.

A new restaurant from some highly capable players behind San Francisco’s Waterbar, Epic Steak and Mersea hopes to elicit these vibes of grandeur when it opens in Redwood City later this month. But it’s not just for those seeking the opulence of New York’s Roaring Twenties.

Hurrica Restaurant and Bar, at 150 Northpoint Court in Westpoint Harbor, is conceived of as a celebration of the Bay Area boating community, seafood and live-fire cooking. Located on an industrial tip of the Peninsula where Cemex still has a sand and gravel operation as well as a cement business, the draw to the area is the Westpoint marina. Whether you own a yacht, a skiff or a kayak, or just enjoy dipping your feet in the water, Hurrica will be an entirely new restaurant concept that hasn’t been seen before in the Bay Area, according to co-founding partner MeeSun Boice.

“Most yacht clubs fall into two tranches. You are either the fancy, expensive yacht club and the members drive the food, or you’re a smaller yacht club with no food,” Boice told SFGATE in a Zoom interview. “Hurrica is a commercial restaurant, not a restaurant owned by a yacht club, which is unique.”

Translation: This will be a great place to eat fresh seafood no matter who you are.

Named after the Hurrica V yacht, a 60-foot “English gentleman’s classic sailing yacht” that is turning 100 this year and made an appearance in 2013’s “The Great Gatsby” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, the restaurant plans to offer everything from a kombu-wrapped 1.5-pound lobster to pan-roasted black cod. You’ll even be able to get coffee delivered to your docked boat. Other dishes will include a Hurrica burger on a house-baked parmesan-crusted bun, beer-battered fish and chips and a shellfish chowder, according to Justin Baade, executive chef and partner.

The founding partners, including Parke Ulrich, executive chef of Waterbar and Epic Steak, know how to bring wild waterfront destination restaurants to fruition. Ulrich, along with Boice, opened Mersea in 2018 on Treasure Island, and that restaurant went on to rank as one of the best places to eat in the country, according to Tripadvisor.

Their love of boating spurred the idea for Hurrica. Boice was formerly the commodore of the Treasure Island Yacht Club, where she first met Ulrich, and has the distinction of being the second woman to be commodore in its 59 years of existence, as well as being the first woman of color to hold that honor, she explained.

“We hadn’t planned on building a restaurant on Treasure Island,” Boice said. “But it’s this idea of revitalization [to the surrounding area], which is why we said yes [to building at Westpoint Harbor].”

Hurrica Restaurant and Bar opens Jan. 26 and the Hurrica V sailing yacht, the namesake of the restaurant and the scene-stealing boat in “The Great Gatsby,” is to be docked at Westpoint Harbor on opening night. Leonardo DiCaprio will not be making an appearance on the boat, SFGATE confirmed.

“The idea that there are so many nice people in the boating community, it’s called the Corinthian spirit, is why we are excited to open at the Northpoint Marina,” Boice said.
