“This is a very nice atmosphere... The service was great as well.. this was my first time at this establishment and I will absolutely come back again. The ribeye was perfectly seasoned. Please know that this establishment essentially only served beer and wine.Parking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: I think older children would be fine in this establishment.“

“Step into the Time Machine with me and have a really good meal! Time traveling to a place where pretentious food does not exist and the service is terse at best...but that's kinda what makes this place charming! I've been going here with my father my whole life, we get the same things every time! I highly recommend, joes special spinach, veal cutlet and a burger that is extraordinary. My notes to the old and (new) owner is your "story" you tell people about not being able to do the Caesar salad table side anymore because of COVID is just lame- it's one of the best if not the coolest thing you guys have done for generations! It's just plain lazy that yall don't do this anymore. These days caesars are made at an old booth, in an entire corner of the restaurant which is kept untidy and disorganized, to go boxes, back stock of food and bev items litter this area- very unsightly. I will continue to come here and I will tell others to do the same - but come on guys - clean it up and bring back my table side Caesar. Thanks for listening.“

“Excellent salad with salmon. Can't believe I didn't even know about it for all these years. Comfortable, great service and variety of American food. Quiet, comfortable and convenient. A bit pricey for a lunch while shopping but a good dinner option if shopping after dinner. Salad with fresh salmon was $19.“

“Excellent service. The waitress was superattentive, she came back go our table 4 times to check on us to ensure our meals were to our satisfaction, to refill drinks, to ask if we needed additional food or dessert, and to bring the check. Impressive! Of course the menu sekections were plentiful as usual, and the food was delicious and served at the right temperature. The atmosphere was pleasant and endearing. Overall an outstanding dining experience!“

“A wonderful prix fix dinner ! Server was good enough but when he promised to come back to verify our desert desire, he never did .. he brought out the desert he thought everyone would want .. there’s 4 of us .. we don’t all want the same thing .. I just but go as I was plenty full & didn’t really care if i didn’t have “

The service is impeccable, presenting each dish to highlights it's freshness and meticulous construction. Highly recommend!“

I really wasn't sure what to expect but it was so tender and flavoursome.The salad to start with was some of the nicest salad I have ever eaten, the care that went into the preparation too!!The martini too...“

“We had an amazing experience at Abrazo with our friends! We tried a lot of tapas and all of them were simply delicious. I would particularly recommend the charred octopus, croquetas, albondigas, and gambas. The paella was exceptional, it was one of the best I have ever had in the States. I enjoyed my Rioja a lot. The restaurant had a very lovely vibe and it reminded me of the restaurants in Madrid. The people were kind and the service was excellent. So, I would recommend Abraza to anyone around.“

“Chef Mike is phenomenal and his dishes are a delightful and beautifully presented delicious experience. My spouse and I have dined with Anomaly many times and we love the food more each time! The Anomaly team is amazing, friendly, and exceptionally eager to please as well as help with any reasonable accommodations one might need if communicated with your reservation -- I've got hip and mobility issues and the Anomaly team has always made sure my seat had a little extra padding so that I'd be able to enjoy the full duration of the dining experience without discomfort! 11/10 <3“

“Spruce is where good times and great friends come together. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, making it the perfect spot to share a few drinks and light bites with friends. The food is ideal for sharing, the drinks are top-notch, and the staff is friendly and attentive.There's something special about laughing with friends at the bar, enjoying the night, and pretending tomorrow doesn't exist. If you're looking for a place to celebrate and create memories, Spruce is the place to be. Cheers!“

“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!“

“This is one of my favorites in the Marina. Constantly very high quality food. I almost don’t want to review it because I don’t want it to get too crowded. They are very close to getting a Michelin star! Omg get the pavlova for desert. Their fish is amazing too.“

“The service was impeccable. Everyone worked together seamlessly.First course, added course and dessert was creative and plentiful.We felt the mains fell short of flavor and creativity.I will return when the menu changes as the prix fixed menu is genius and you can’t beat the price.“

“Myself and 3 coworkers were in town for a work conference and we decided to ensure we try local restaurants. Frascati was absolutely fabulous. The food was extremely delicious the atmosphere was amazing. The restaurant is right on the cable car route and that gave it an extra special touch. The service was fantastic. By far one of the best restaurants I have ever been too. Thank you Rebecca and Jon, if I make my way back to San Francisco I will definitely be back!“

“TL;DR: Worth the visit, unique flavor profiles and pairings! Exceptional service. I celebrated my anniversary here and they did not disappoint! As soon as we got seated, there was a note to acknowledge our anniversary and it was a warm welcome! As someone who is indecisive, I enjoyed the structure of the menu, first two dishes were included while you had options to choose from for the next three courses. We had complementary Japanese milk bread to start and it was probably the best bread I've ever had! The cultured butter and warm bread make such a cravable combo! The second dishes were light and refreshing! The cured hiramasa had the perfect touch of spice from the Fresno vinaigrette and the Asian pear cut through ever so slightly making it a delicate pairing with the fish. The beet tartare has good texture with the horseradish foam and crunch from the pine nuts. Second course, the celery root ravioli was different and had a light herbaceous note that made the dish not too heavy like other pasta dishes. We added the supplemental agnolotti and they did not skimp out in the truffles. We're not usually fans of truffle but it was not overpowering and complemented in flavor and texture. Third course, we had all three dishes! Seared black cod and the A5 wagyu melted in your mouth, we didn't even need the knife to cut through. The sauces in both dishes cut through the fattiness and paired well with the decadent taste of both the fish and meat. The Sakura pork had a good chew and smokiness from the breakfast sausage was unexpected but made for a desirable pairing. Fifth and final course, we opted to try both desserts! The profiles of both sweet dishes were different but worth the try. The spiced chocolate had subtle ginger notes while having a good crunch complemented by the meringue. Spring forward definitely gave the feeling of spring with light and airy flavors of nutty coconut and green herb granita! All in all, I'd revisit to try out the revolving menus, the chefs really put time and thought in the courses and left me intrigued for what's coming up next. Service was kind, informative, and attentive. Our waters were always filled, dishes bussed, and table was marked all at appropriate times. Thank you again 7 Adam's team!“

“This restaurant feels like it exists somewhere in between what could be a local haunt and a tourist trap. It has a versatile yet contained menu that has a little bit of something for everyone. The burrata appetizer was perfectly executed for a place that isn't designated Italian, and the salad offerings really stood out. I had the ahi tuna and for $20 wish I had a couple more pieces of Ahi but the flavors and seasoning were fantastic. I especially loved the little pieces of sushi style ginger mixed within - delicious. It should also be noted that the service was exceptional, toeing the line between attentive and breathable to a T. They even had an extra kale salad made by accident and brought it over complimentary as we waited for the last of our party to arrive. A+“

“Really glad I stumbled upon Octavia's existence. The service was great, with obvious knowledge and experience. The food (10 items shared amongst 4 of us) was all excellent. As far as food goes, I do often have constructive feedback in the hopes of improving the experience, but here they just nailed everything. Pacing, quantity, seasoning, diversity, with flavors and ideas that simply worked well. Fantastic meal, and I'd gladly come back next time in SF.P.s. sitting outdoors was pleasant, and probably less smoky and noisy than indoors: easy to have a conversation, and the enclosure kept us warm. Wish the passing rush hour drivers were less aggressive as a whole, but this is straying from the topic at hand...“

“There are not enough stars to describe the experience. The food was not only incredible but the presentation was beautiful. The service was magical from the hot towels to the goodie bag you go home with. The space is fabulous and I would go back in a heartbeat ?“

“What a location. And although on my own I received a table and wasn't tried to be parked at the bar. Really professional service. Fresh cutlery for each course, complimentary small cup of consommé, homemade Yorkshire Pudding (?). The Artichokes were divine. Shrimp and lobster Risotto good, presentation a bit boring (the"boring" bit just because I've expected more after having seen the Artichoke plate) Ristretto was hot.And yes, if you think someone is wearing a Chanel Jacket it probably is one. But no snobbism from anyone and was ok in my makeup free, tired self. Next time I feel like a treat I'll go back“

“Absolute perfection. My husband and I will remember this evening for the rest of our lives. The food was divine. Flavors, inspired. Service, attentive, delightful, and not intrusive. Each dish was presented with a brief but detailed description so that we could appreciate the food even more. You’ll want this to be your next dining experience. They take it all to the next level of sublime.“

“Loved it. We were just in the City for the day and it was near the appointment that brought us to town. We thought we’d take a chance and weren’t disappointed. Atmosphere was just up both our alleys. We were welcomed warmly, seated quickly, and service was amazing. My latte was perfect. Food also was terrific. We shared a crab Benedict and a Big Hip and tried so hard to finish every bite, but it was just too much. We really wanted Millionaire’s bacon, but just couldn’t manage it.“

“I hadn't been back at this place since the night we watched the fireworks for the Golden Gate Bridge's 75th anniversary ( many years ago, maybe 10). The man by the door was friendly and greeted us. But the bartender was not very friendly and frankly seemed like he would prefer for us to leave. We got an Irish Coffee for the old times to share. It was still great! Drank it quickly, paid and got out of there. Although still a good drink, I rather be somewhere where the staff are a bit more pleasant.“

“The weather at 10 o'clock in the morning in San Francisco in April was quite pleasant, with the temperature below 20 degrees Celsius. It felt great to sit outside the restaurant to dine (but it's best not to sit for too long, because there is no awning outside the restaurant, so for a while After a while, the sun will still hurt you).I ordered Russian Hill and chose bacon and cheddar cheese. The chef cooked it into a pie. There were also potato (maybe grilled or fried) and fruit combinations. It was quite delicious and rich.The prices on the meals have been increased, and it is recommended that the store should update them. The overall service quality is good, and the two male waiters are very diligent in greeting customers' needs.“

“Holbrook House is one of my preferred go to bar in the Financial District that has great service, drinks, tasty food and wonderful atmosphere. The atrium is big, open, well lite and spacious. In fact many times it will get booked for special events and when the weather is warm the open the large doors for more of an indoor / outdoor feel. The indoor bar itself once you pass through the atrium area is well designed long narrow oval shape that has seating all around. The chairs at the bar side are huge, like the captains chairs that requires some muscle to move. I giggle on how much effort it takes to move them. Holbrook House also has a martini cart that goes around and provides particular service to make you their special martini drink that is a nice flare the business offers. The food menu has been expanded since the opened and enough good choices that gives you a variety of choices. My favorite is their burger, that isn't too big but quite filling. If you haven't been to Holbrook House I suggest giving it a go. The crowd is a good professional crowd, where they can come dressed up and looking nice. I think you won't be disappointed.“

“Second time since 2021. While price has increased it still offers one of the best value in the area for tasting menu. Most of the courses are on point and creative. my favorite is the jidoji egg. The tortellini is a bit bland, but still good. I like that the atmosphere is intimate and unassuming.“

“We made a reservation for breakfast for our group. It was a special occasion, as we had guests who traveled internationally & we were also celebrating a birthday. The food was delicious! The staff was outstanding- we'd like to shout out Daniela and Carla for going above & beyond in their service. I'll definitely be back.“

“I had one of the best restaurant meals ever in San Francisco last night at Sorrel. The pictured dish is described as maitake / potato / dashi, the first course of seven and my favourite. The wine pairing was very good, and the service outstanding. Great celiac accommodation for me. Instead of the pasta based crab dish I got a stunningly excellent sun-choke risotto. Highly recommended for a special occasion.Dietary restrictions: I had excellent accommodation for my celiac affliction. Instead of the pasta based crab dish I got a stunningly excellent sun-choke risotto.“

“I live in Sausalito incase anyone thinks I’m a regular and I’m trying to plug a friend’s place or whatever. This is the best breakfast in Marin. Food is so fresh and the staff are exceptional. I work in the service industry and don’t usually leave reviews. Really evident team culture and refreshing attitudes all round. Well done to all!“

“I came here last night for date night dinner and it was so good. My husband has been on this fish and chips thing lately and this is favorite by far.*The fish was tender and the outside was crisp and light. French fries were nice and hot.The tartar sauce and was also light and not too heavy on the mayo.* clam chowder the bowl size is perfect for sharing. Nice clumps of potatoes and seafood*lobster roll the bread had a nice sweetness and butter. Crispy and light. The lobster was fresh and sweet. Good portion as well when it came to the lobster.The seating is comfortable for small groups and the wait staff is very friendly.I can’t wait to have another date night!“

“The dinner prix fixe was stellar. Each dish was special and interesting, and balanced. The care that the staff gave us was personal and thoughtful, and they tailored to our dietary restrictions.Dietary restrictions: Extremely accommodating to dietary restrictions. Just share with your server!“

“We came here for a restaurant week reservation friday night at 7:30 PM. Parking wasn't too bad to find but it can be difficult since it's all street parking. The interior is extremely nice, definitely makes you feel like you are at a fancy restaurant (even though the attire is smart casual) We were seated immediately then the servers got us still water and took our orders for the drinks. We both didn't want to drink alcohol so we ordered some mocktails. I had the pineapple mocktail with coconut creamer and it was delicious. Amuse bouse: 5/5 This was house made potato chips with a smoked fish dip. The chips were nice and crunchy and the fish dip was exquisite, pleasantly salty with a good texture. Amazing Hamachi Crudo: 4/5 I like the foam around the fish and how it paired with the herb oil. Only complaints were on the mint and green almond toppings(too strong for me) and the hamachi tasted a bit fishy. Free bread: Halfway through we got a free loaf of bread and butter. Wasn't anything mind blowing but it tasted good and was welcomed. Steak: 4.5/5 The steak was cooked beautifully and the potatoes were made very well too. Only complaints were that the potatoes were too salty at some bites and i wish they had more sauce for the steak. Dessert: 5/5 I loved how the dessert all came together. It was presented very nicely, i liked the crisp of the meringue as well as the overall flavors meshing together. Accoutrements: Great way to end the night, our favorite was the chocolate bite. All in all, for 80 dollars this was a steal and service was quite good too.“

“So glad this place is reopening at some point!! By far the best brunch place around. The staff is super friendly, the food is amazing, and make sure to get some of their secret spicy sauce on the side ;)Vegetarian options: There's def some decent vegetarian and vegan options on the menu!!“

“An outstanding lunch. We ordered a rose and the GM (Rich) came out and said it hadn't been chilled so they were putting it on ice. In the meantime, he poured each of us a glass from a different (read better) to enjoy while the other one chilled. That's great service.Did I mention the food and view were j6st as exceptional?“

“Came here for a relaxing dinner the other night with some friends. We had the lobster Mac and cheese and the lobster roll. Both were absolutely delicious and well presented. Prices are slightly high for the portion size, however, the service made up for it.“

“Terrific breakfast restaurant, with amazing detailed Americana decor. The swedish pancakes are excellent. The coffee is hot and delicious. Our waitress was terrible and completely ignored us. Don't let our waitress stop you from coming to this San Francisco icon of a restaurant.“

“My friends really liked what they ordered: Cinnamon pancakes, pulled pork sandwich, mocha. I had ordered a Gluten free chicken sandwich which was really bad. The chicken was fine I guess, but the bread was very very soggy and just felt apart. The bread was very bad. My friend had also ordered the same sandwich without the gf option, his bread was fine but the sandwich wasn't anything special. Would not recommend the gf option!“

“Lovely early evening dinner! Super family friendly, food was delicious and great value. There was an issue with our UK bank card but Cameron was incredibly gracious and helped us find an amazing resolution. They also have a great family evening coming up on a Thursday which sounds perfect!! Can’t wait to go back!!!!“

“It’s my first Time in visiting San Francisco and I had a great experience trying the melt for the first time. The food was excellent and the customer service was absolutely fantastic.! Big thanks to employee who helped me with my order her name was Kat ??“

“Went early on a Thursday night , lower dining room already busy, but upper more quiet and private for a while . Server Nicholas very polished and didn't rush us, explaining dishes and specials , the baby back ribs and pork chop well seasoned and crispy from smoker and oven, cocktails well made and stiff, great dinner house of high quality , will return many times in future.“

“Absolutely delicious burgers in San Francisco! Fast food style ordering but so tasty and had nice beers on tap too. We had the beef, chicken and veggie burger and all were very happy. Maybe one of the best beef burgers I’ve had! staff really friendly too and bonus points for the help yourself pickles! Reasonably priced too“

“We walked in without a reservation and no expectations. What a delightful surprise. The service was superb, from the Host to the bar tender to our server. The food was delicious and came out quickly. To our surprise they had a gluten free empanada. Also the architecture and decor will delight. We highly recommend going on for a drink, a meal, live music and looking around.“

“Cozy little Diner in Nob Hill with a great atmosphere and delicious food. Also love the eclectic collection of coffee mugs for patrons to use. Food was served quickly and was very high quality, and the staff were super friendly. I’m out here for work so will make this a regular spot for however long I am out here.“

“The burger was really great. Different taste from other options around. Problem is that I was given the wrong beer, a lager and not a stout that has the same name. Others in our group had their orders incorrect for their burger toppings. But we just dealt with it.“

“Every time we come to San Francisco they are the first place we have dinner. The funny thing is that the same two seats at the bar are open that we sat the first time lol. Great food! Great staff! Professional and just great guys behind that bar.“

“Good spot for some fine food in Soma close to BART. Menu had lost so delicious choices. Steak and fries were expectational. Deviled egg was a surprise hit, I got a few. A bit pricey. Worth it if you want to eat at a nice spot in the area considering options are dying out in this part of the city. Will visit again.“
