“The experience was great. Thinking it was on top of a furniture store got us thinking what are we getting into. However from the meeting and reception to allow us to get our reservation an hour prior was a start of our experience and the special treatment we received for our anniversary. Food was more than expected. From the appetizers to the main dish. Chef quality excellent. Smiles all over and the ambiance was exceptional. Thanks to all the staff!!!!!“

“We had brunch here on Saturday. The waffles are absolutely delicious! The eggs benedict was fantastic too. I should have taken pictures. I have been coming to this Nordstrom since it was built in the 80's. I have never eaten here. This place is awesome and I will be back as the menu looks fantastic.“

“I always enjoy eating an early dinner at Marin Joes, the wait staff have been there forever, so regardless of how long it’s been since your last visit… you will recognize them and hopefully they remember you. I cannot get enough of the prime rib, the veggies were perfectly Al dente and the service superb!! Thank you Marin Joes for yet another wonderful meal!!!“

“The Cheesecake Factory Thank you for supporting the Lucky Run this past Sunday to benefit the Novato High School Safe & Sober Grad Night. We appreciate you! Safe and Sober Grad of Novato“

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

“Liholiho is a fantastic restaurant! The space is modern and beautifully designed, with an open kitchen where you can watch everything being prepared, which adds a lot of energy and transparency to the dining experience.

The service was very friendly, attentive, and quick. The cocktails were excellent, and even the non-alcoholic one I ordered was made with care and tasted great.

The food was outstanding. The bun with beef tongue was extraordinary, the tuna tartare and ceviche were perfectly balanced and fresh, and the shrimps with crispy rice were especially memorable. All dishes showed creativity, originality, and were prepared with high quality ingredients.

For three people, including first and main courses, drinks, and one dessert, the bill came to $260, which I found fair for this level of quality. The only minus point is that the restaurant does not offer coffee, which would have been a nice way to finish the meal.

Overall, I really enjoyed everything at Liholiho. Highly recommended, and I hope I will get to return again!“

“Great food and ambience here!“

“Affordable price, great taste“

“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.“

“Amazing dining experience. Worth the price“

“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!“

“Really nice place. Highly recommended“

“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.“

“Very nice place for breakfast with tasty food. The place gets busy on the weekends but the service crews have a system and they get orders out fast. The patio area was nice and our waiter was great. Overall good place to enjoy a great breakfast and excellent service.“

“Another brilliant visit to Sorrel and Alex Hong continues to reign as my current favorite Chef! 🤘🏼If you haven’t been to Sorrel, go. Total genius.“

“Great restaurant with a fabulous view of union square! This restaurant and department store are one of the few places left in what used to be the premier shopping and downtown of San Francisco. Sitting in this restaurant gives you a sense of what it once was. That said, the food and service are fantastic. Our family loves the daily soups. This time we also got the lobster club and butternut squash pasta—all fantastic! We came here for lunch be fore heading to a play. Thank you for a great visit!“

“10/10 in my book! And I hate to admit that I'm a picky girl. I'm a foodie. Servers are super friendly, vibes are nice with pleasant music in the background that's not too loud. And the food was delicious!

We got:
Mango Habanero wings (one of their specials of the day)
The wings were juicy and the sauce was amazing! Pretty sure they blended actual mango because the mango taste was there. I like spice, so I would say the sauce wasn't spicy at all, and the mango was the more dominant flavor. But it was really good :)

4 piece chicken meal with Mac and cheese and potato salad as our sides. The Mac and cheese was nice and cheesy. It gave classic Mac and cheese. I also think they broil the Mac and cheese with a layer of cheese on the top and then mix it into the Mac and cheese after, because I was getting bits of broiled cheese even on the deeper layers of the cup. Which was great. The potato salad had perfect seasoning and was also just really yummy. The chicken pieces were decently sized and I could taste the hint of rosemary on them. Very crunchy.

We also ordered a side of hot honey sauce, which we added to the chicken and the cornbread (as recommend by our server) and I did enjoy it! I did think it paired better with the cornbread. The cornbread was also yummy and crumbly. I personally like my cornbread a bit more moist, but the flavor was really nice, and the hot honey helped give it some of that moisture!

Overall, I would 100% come here again! Thinking of bringing some friends to try this place :)“

“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!“

“When I always visit San Fran I always go to the joinery for lunch or a beverage Food is always fab and the drinks are nicely chilled an crisp 👍 Staff are always lovely and friendly and the place has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and a sun trap Thank you from a international frequent traveller 👍👍“

“Went for a sunday brunch. I got the orange juice, which was definitely freshly squeezed and husband got the peruvian latte, which was also amazing.
I got the combo for breakfast with waffle. The waffle was way too salty for my taste but everything else was quite good. Husband got crab cake benedict, which he enjoyed a lot but didn't like the house potatoes as much coz they were very unevenly good. Overall a good experience with some flaws.“

“love love love it here! my mom and I stayed in fairfax for a whole week and we ate here several times. food is amazing, atmosphere is amazing, staff is amazing. special shout out to our main man Ty who remembered us by name and was always super fun and friendly every time we came in. he may even play you a few songs on his guitar if you’re lucky. this place was definitely a highlight of our trip and i’ll miss going there when we leave. we could also tell that this place is a huge hit with the locals which is always nice to see. thanks for all of the great food, drinks, conversations, and songs Barefoot Cafe! until next time! -Ebony“

“It’s delicious Thanks fast service and good attention“

“Had to stop and use the restroom when the freeway got too jammed to wait so, detoured and purchased some giant cookies as away of saying thank you for one, being open in a very commercial area with limited options; two, for letting me use their restroom and three having very reasonable prices and a friendly demeanor.
Oh, the cookies were great, too!“

“Great atmosphere great food“

“There’s something different about The Melt in San Francisco. I went with my family and ordered the Swiss & Shroom Double—and it was so good! But beyond the food, what really stood out was the atmosphere. It felt like being in a familiar, welcoming place.

What made it even more special was when Skinner came over to our table. We chatted about the restaurant, about San Francisco… and he even offered us some chocolate chip cookies!

We’ll definitely be coming back. It’s great to know there’s a beautiful, peaceful, and family-friendly spot like this in San Francisco.“

“The view is comfortable and the dishes are exquisite. It is highly recommended.“

“Fantastic food - reasonably priced and great service! Tasha was amazing!“

“I have tough standards for a Rueben sandwich, originally being from NY. This sandwich was outstanding! Automatically coming with Pastrami instead of Corned Beef is not usual, but definitely my preference so that was great. Thick slices conveyed the rich flavor. The rye bread did not have the usual caraway seeds, but had great taste.

I would have this sandwich again.

The Grove has a good atmosphere with funky decor and some classic Rock and Roll images.“

“Matt and Natalie were amazing behind the bar! So hospitable, kind, informative of all my questions, and experts at what they do. I had an amazing martini by Matt. Not only is this hotel an experience in itself, but Matt and Nat make it something worthwhile. They are so kind and phenomenal bartenders!“

“Coming from the east bay to attend a concert at the Presidio theater, we chose to eat at Cultivar, due to its great reviews and proximity to the venue. We really enjoyed it. The cocktails were delicious. We had the sweet potato waffle fries, the beef sliders and a great salad. For dessert we had the crème brûlée. The bartender and the staff were really attentive and pleasant.“

“An amazing restaurant with an interesting history and spectacular view of the Bay. Great service and food. And the Caprice is fully wheelchair accessible. Thanks for a great dining experience!“

“I highly recommend Salt and Pepper restaurant in Tiburon. The food is absolutely amazing and the service is nice and friendly. 🥂 I give it five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I have been going to The Lighthouse for many years, whenever I am in The San Francisco Area :) Absolutely fabulous breakfast with a wonderful staff ! Can't wait to be there again :)“
