“Society Restaurant & Hookah Lounge is one of our favorite spots! The place looks amazing—really luxurious and classy. The food is always on point, and the hookah is the best we’ve had. What keeps us coming back is the service. Everyone there is super friendly, from the staff to the owner and manager. They always make sure we’re taken care of and having a great time. 5 stars for sure!“

“BG is a gorgeous restaurant, with well prepared food, and live music/jazz, most days of the week. Owners are very personable and hands-on, which is rare, amongst restaurants. Great place for special occasions or just a night out with your favorite person/people. Share a great experience, without a shocking price tag!“

“Awesome shakes and heavenly garlic fries 👍“

“Finally ate here for the first time a couple of days ago. Pancakes are on the thinner side, which actually gives it some crisp, and it's tasty. Ben's Special was good also, especially with their homemade hot sauce. Extra bonus points for the amazing bobblehead collection display.

Overall, this side of the peninsula has some really good diner spots.“

“Excellent food and service and atmosphere“

“A fantastic brunch spot offering a fresh house salad, tasty omelet, and a delightful garden crepe. The Bloody Mary is perfectly crafted, and the staff is welcoming. Indoor ambiance and the outdoor seating with great views make it a must-visit.“

“We came here after visiting Washington Park with 6 people on a Sunday afternoon. It was hot and we wanted something small and quick to eat and drink while the niners game was on. We originally wanted to sit at the bar but since we had a larger group we opted to sit at a table. We got a round of shots and a Prickly Pear Margarita that was really good. We got the signature French fries flight (truffle, rosemary garlic, bbq) served with herb ranch, chipotle mayo, and ketchup. We also got the Chicken Wing flight (Buffalo, salt n pepper, honey habanero) that came with 9 total wings. And we got a chicken fettuccine Alfredo. It was a good little snack for all of us, service was great. There was air conditioning, but there was a quick black out during the game but it came on pretty quickly! There’s street parking and some lots nearby.“

“Cutie little dinner, the service was really amazing! I had chicken and waffle it was really delicious unfortunately the batter is a little sweet which I’m not a fan of. The country steak was yummy 😋 hot chocolate was perfect!
I can say that I would come back to try other things in the menu!“

“Tout était parfait merci pour le conseil“

“Found this location while staying nearby at the Westin. Unsuspecting and a bit hidden. However, the food was excellent, owners were kind / helpful, and the atmosphere was pleasant. For a quick dinner, I would certainly come back if in the area.“

“This meal, which just happened to fall on Valentine's Day, was a lovely beginning to our trip which started with a flight out of SFO. Fortunately I had thought to make a reservation or we never would have gotten in. The service was warm, the atmosphere was cozy and not too dressy, and the food and wine were great. I especially enjoyed my risotto with scallops; while the scallops were small, they were tender and there were plenty of them. We will definitely keep this restaurant in mind when we visit the area in the future.“

“Wonderful service, DELICIOUS food and the best views! I was so glad my company put me in the area. I had the exotic cocktail (which was one of the best drinks I’ve had in a while), The calamari which they also put fried artichoke in it *chefs kiss* and those sauces!!! My goodness the SAUCES separate or together my taste buds were very happy. Last but never least the lobster bisque…. I about picked up the bowl and licked it clean…. Perfectly seasoned, buttery, creamy, mmm mmm mmm!! I can’t wait to come back…after your meal you can walk it off with the 360 views of just beautiful scenery“

“I was staying in this Hilton and wasn't too hungry, but decided to get something from this restaurant. I sat at the bar and was helped by the bartender as soon as he was done with another customer. I ended up having a burger with sweet potato fries and they were both great. Of course the burger wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was much better than most restaurants, the sweet potato fries were perfectly done.

I read some of the reviews of this restaurant, a couple of them were for different places in the hotel, they're not open for breakfast and they don't carry packaged goods.

Some reviewers didn't like the pricing. It's not inexpensive, but I think it was priced right. The burger and fries were $22. McDonald's and Carl's Jr. are around $15-18 these days, $22 is a good deal for a great food in a nice hotel in one of the most expensive cities in the world. I had a cocktail, $16, this is the same that I pay at an average bar these days.

I thought that overall, the place was very clean and werll laid out, and the staff were all very professional. This is an area where people can get offended because you used the wrong hand to open a door, they're crazy, so to be able to find attentive, courteous, and professional employees, is amazing.

I will be staying here again, and I'll probably eat at Fire|Vine again.“

“OH MY GOODNESS. The BEST prime rib I've ever had! We started talking to the owner of the restaurant who was the kindest sweetest man. He saw I was struggling to cut my food because I had a baby in my hands and cut it for me. Seriously 10/10 prime rib, kindness, generosity, everything!! Absolutely will be coming back to this sweet spot! Thank you so much!! the ambiance was beautiful and perfectly lit!“

“The staff here are beyond excellent.. Millie Gabe are fantastic bartender’s he are friendly and make wonderful drinks.. Mike Omir Lucus are warm and accommodating to their guests. Karen is pleasant and runs a tight ship and yet makes you feel like you are the only guest here.. It is a joy to be included in such a warm and welcoming place

Vegetarian options: Needs more options“

“Brought my mom for Mother's Day. The staff and service was excellent. Carving station and custom omelet station were both good. Wish there could have been slightly more variety of dishes - lots of potatoes. Had to ask for ketchup and BBQ sauce for the chicken tenders and fries since they were not offered at the buffet tables (only ranch from salad bar). I would've settled for honey mustard, but was not a salad dressing option. Main dessert table emptied before 1:30, but there was another table in the backroom. Jazz group was a nice touch - a little loud for conversation (and very quiet during their breaks) but musicians were very good! Missed the Mother's Day photo op as they ended right at 2pm. Wish they had been available for another 30min or had been mentioned when we checked in. A few of us took our own photos while the backdrop was still up. Overall, was a pleasant experience and decent food. Mom enjoyed the polenta!“

“I was told someone on Yelp recommended the burger, so I ordered it. I chose the sweet potato fries, which are almost always disappointing, but only after forcing the poor, overworked server to guarantee that if I did not like them, he would replace them with regular fries. I get that way after a bit of rose.

Anyway, the burger was actually QUITE GOOD! And I LOVED the sweet potato fries!

My companion had the beet salad, which sounded dreadful but was great!

Well done, hotel restaurant!“
