“We had dinner there and the food was delicious…. The fried quail was the star. The starters were excellent. Very recommended restaurant“

“We walked in on NYE without a reservation and they graciously found us a spot in the bar area. Service was on point and staff were festively dressed! I love a crafty cocktail but most are too sweet. I had the Smokey mezcal cocktail 🍹. Perfection. Appetizers were delish as well. Perfect way to start our NYE celebrations.“

“We absolutely loved our dinner at Liholiho Yacht Club — everything from the vibe to the flavors was on point. We started with a couple of appetizers that set the tone right away: bold, fresh, and packed with unique flavor combinations. The pork ribs were a total standout — perfectly tender with just the right balance of sweet and savory, and the fried rice that came with them was rich, flavorful, and satisfying on its own.
But the real star of the night was dessert — the Baked Hawaii. Not only was it beautifully presented, but it was also hands down one of the best desserts we’ve ever had. A creative twist on a classic, and the perfect ending to a fantastic meal.
Service was friendly and attentive, and the whole experience felt fun, vibrant, and effortlessly cool. We’ll absolutely be coming back next time we’re in SF! Highly recommend this spot — a true gem.“

“My friend, Mike, who lives nearby with his wife, raved about it so much that my BF and I decided to come after a short trip to Marin. It was everything that he described and more. It was fantastic! Excellent food and atmosphere. Will definitely add to my list of favorites and will recommend to my Palo Alto friends!“

“Amazing dining experience. Worth the price“

“I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. I am a business owner a few doors down and I wandered in with a friend after work one night about a month ago. We were met with such incredible warmth from the staff and the environment itself, even without a reservation. We sat at the bar and were greeted by Josh, only to find out later that he is the owner. He made excellent recommendations on everything from our drinks to dessert. The bar didn’t feel isolated from the rest of the restaurant and guests, but rather was lively hub frequented by kitchen and serving staff and warmed by a smoldering wood fire. The coziest. We swooned for the poke appetizer, complete with house-made toasted, but not crisp, blue corn tortillas. The pork shoulder tacos—also to die for. I have to say though, that the star on the sidelines was the beans. I honestly didn’t know I could feel this way about beans…but I digress. Josh bounced around from table to table all night, never letting a single ball drop, making every guest feel like *his* guest. A pot de crème sealed the evening in perfect bliss. I’m back a month later with the same friend, eating different and somehow even more incredible entrees: ribeye, halibut and a rhubarb crisp for dessert. I scarcely ever take the time to write a review as I prefer to vote with my $ and my feet, but I simply couldn’t eat here again without taking the time to sing it’s praises. Eat here.“

Shared the special apple bread pudding with cream! Service was attentive and thoughtful! The space beautiful in its natural light. Would always recommend.“

“The food, the presentation, the service.“

“Just had a fantastic breakfast! The food was delicious, and everything came out quickly. definitely a spot I'd recommend for a morning meal! Anita was a wonderful server, quick with service and checked in to top off glasses, taking empty plates and ask if we needed anything.
She was the highlight of our visit. Im excited to come back soon!“

“Great breakfast and fast service Thank you ♥️♥️“

“Good service and good food😋“

“Last Saturday we ordered a lot of food from the melt. The whole crew was working overtime and we all ordered multiple items and the crew absolutely killed it. Lady working the cashier was absolutely amazing. Sweetest lady ever. The cooks were amazing and they have a very good crew working. The only names I received were Mar, Janeka, Dom and Tone but everyone was incredible and we definitely will be back.“

“Been to Hotel Mac many many times and never ever been disappointed. The menu often varies with excellence across the board. Just celebrated my 70th birthday there. Wonderful evening in a great atmosphere.“

“Fab bar with a great range of booze and really friendly and helpful staff. Took the time to discuss UK vs USA measures and jiggers with me - fascinating!“

“Food was good! Atmosphere was fun!“

“Celebrated my husband’s birthday at the Chocolate Factory Dinner. Really fun, interactive, very tasty and sooo inventive. Loved the food and wine pairing. We will be back!“

“Such a fun, iconic spot! I loved the atmosphere and it was really easy to find parking. The food was fantastic also, and I'd recommend in particular the bouillabaisse and the shrimp scampi.

The service, however, was lackadaisical. It took nearly an hour to get our food, and the server didn’t bring the appetizer first (in fact it didn't even arrive with the main meal). He seemed unconcerned about our experience.“

“Had read when researching SF Pat's was popular and didn't disappoint. Friendly staff and oh my tasty food and large portions 🤦my burrito 🌯 was huge.Did my best. 😀 recommend highly“

“What an amazing culinary experience! We had a three course meal. The waiter was very helpful, friendly and had great recommendations! I highly recommend this place if you're in San Francisco!“

“We stopped here for breakfast last week. It was absolutely delicious. I had the veggie omelette with hash browns and my partner had the hot dogs with eggs and home fries. We both shared the biscuits and gravy and fresh squeezed orange juice. Highly recommend this place as it's one of the only brunch spots on this side of the city.“

“Such fresh good food. I made my own scramble it was beyond delicious!!!“

“food was very good. good location for big groups“

“My wife and I spontaneously went to PLS at 8:30 p.m. (Wednesday) and ordered a “The Supreme” shake and a “Blue Cheese Smash” burger.

Unfortunately there wasn't much going on, which was good for us. I don't think we waited 10 minutes for our food.

The shake was planned for my wife and the burger for me. The staff was so nice and arranged everything so that we got two spoons, two straws and the burger to share - really great.

Both the shake and the burger were great. If today wasn't our last evening in SF, we would go straight back ?!

The restaurant was clean and new.

Unfortunately I can't give more than 5 stars.“

“This is our “go to” place in Sausalito for my wife and I so we decided to take our visitors from Canada here. Everything was going well until my order, the bone in veal chop special, arrived more than 5 minutes later than everyone else's main course. The issue is that when my order arrived, there was a barely an apology or any offers to adjust our bill. Sad.“

“Fantastic food and a great menu with something for every foodie“

“Great Food Great Vibe😀“

“Good food, excellent service“

“My favorite food is everything on the menu“

“Came for Happy Hour on a Monday and unfortunately didn't have the best experience. We waited at the door for about 5-6 minutes before being acknowledged, and the inside was almost empty. The bartender was talking with someone, and there was no server/host/hostess, so we awkwardly stood there, glancing at the menus. There was a sign that said, please wait to be seated, so we didn't want to barge in, but there was no acknowledgment from the bartender that she would be right with us, so it was an unfriendly welcome. Additionally, we searched for someone to order, so we gave up and went to the bar. Also, we grabbed a bottle of water because we couldn't catch anyone's attention. The menu is what they have online. We had a glass of the Cabernet Sauv and Sauvignon Blanc, which was nothing too special but decent pours for happy hour. We also got the grilled cheese and BBQ Chicken Slider. The grilled cheese was a very large portion but quite bland. However, if you're looking for quantity, it's great. The slider was quite flavorful, but for $7, I expect more than a single slider of that size. Though they don't advertise it to be multiple sliders, they aren't purposely misleading. Overall, might come back on a more lively evening, but wouldn't go out of my way to make it back.“

“Excellent place to try! Great staff and great food“

“been coming here for years. good and drink are excellent and it's a great location for lunch and a visit to the SF MoMA

expect a line to the counter during rush hour. service folks are great but you order at a counter so the floor staff can get overwhelmed and tricky to flag down depending on where you sit.“

“Born and raised here in the city I HAD to try Minnie Bells.I had the two piece combo with candied yams and Mac N cheese it was so good that I placed a to go order of the exact same thing for later.Now I’m on Door dash placing the same thing for today I swear this food is so good ,restaurant clean ,staff is amazing can’t wait to take my mom.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes the facility is wheelchair accessible.“

“This fairy-tale-like restaurant in Mill Valley truly surprised us with how delicious the food was. We went with our kids and ordered a variety of dishes—especially the sizzling stone pot bibimbap and the fried chicken, which were absolutely outstanding. Not only was the food delicious, but the plating was beautiful as well, making the whole meal a delight for both kids and adults. It was a perfect brunch experience, and we’ll definitely be coming back every time we’re in Mill Valley.“
