“Dinner was delicious Went to table of 10 Met some new people“

“Great place for fish and chips or a burger!“

“I love my experience with The Conservatory. The customer service is top notch. Antonia went all her way to make sure i had the best of my order. Food was very well prepped from flavor to portion. Just had breakfast. I m now planning for dinner with them ❤️“

“We went here with zero expectations because the reviews were so mixed. We were greeted promptly by the hostess. We were early so she said we were welcome to sit at the bar or walk around til ready. We then were seated at a high top closer to the golf course and water with a large fire pit. Spectacular view. We were offered blankets to keep us warm. Jolene, our server, was so warm and friendly. She has quite the job of keeping people from randomly sitting in the open tables because they are only for reservations. We also had the pleasure of watching a wedding that was taking place in the main courtyard. The food was delicious. Try the clam chowder! At 5:00pm is the last table seating and then anyone can sit at the tables but there is no food/drink service. You must go to the bar. Also starting at 6:30 is a bagpipe player who walks around the resort at ends at Ocean Terrace. It was beautiful to listen too. We will definitely come again if we are in the area.“

“I just love playing both old and ocean view course. Beautiful green fairway 👍🏌️‍♀️“

“good food and love the mimosa“

“The do called "inclusive" atmosphere is really just an owner who hates everyone who has different views. If your social or political views are woke, you aren't welcome. Spend your money elsewhere. This guy is an idiot.“

“fast customer service and good food“

“great service from the staff , good food , good ambience“

“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!“

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“

“Wonderful “white table cloth” bistro experience.“

“The outdoor patio was perfect for our Sunday brunch and our 18th Anniversary. We’ve celebrated many occasions at All Spice and have always had a stellar experience with the staff and the food. Our table felt intimate — we were sharing a large space with four other tables, appropriately distanced. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Again, all Covid-19 compliant. The food, oh the food! The Dutch baby was perfectly cooked and the fruit fillings were gorgeous. The chicken sandwich was out of this world. The Mimosa and hard apple cider beverages were on point. We always love our meals at All Spice and this time was no exception. It’s a total gem!“

“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!“

“We had an absolutely lovely experience here! Came for my boyfriend’s birthday, everyone was friendly and attentive. Fantastic high end ambience. The food was almost too beautiful to eat and every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our entrees. One of our guests said it was the best spaghetti he had ever had! The mushroom risotto was perfection. I had the Chilean sea bass and WOW! The salmon was also amazing. The other two guests had roasted chicken and hangar steak… I didn’t get to try them but they looked amazing and everyone cleaned their plate even though we were full lol! We will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!! 5 stars ⭐️“

“Awesome restaurant with amazing ambiance, well orchestrated and friendly service, and excellent seasonal foods using top quality ingredients. Everything is beautiful and delicious. One of our favorite restaurants and a great celebration spot.“

“Fast friendly service and excellent food. It’s and enjoyable experience each time.“

“Excellent food Best gelato too“

“This restaurant deserves 10 stars! It is the best Chinese restaurant in the Bay area.“

“Great breakfast buffet. We had wonderful omelettes, pancakes, tasty fruit, yummy oatmeal, pretty much every imaginable breakfast item. We are here 3 nights sober will have the same wonderful breakfast buffet. Excellent and friendly servers.“

“Awesome shakes and heavenly garlic fries 👍“

“Saw this location on yelp. Noticed their menu. Was curious. We ordered the Pulpo Sample and the Garlic Fries to share. Everything was good except the shrimp. The sauce where the shrimp was just a bit spicy even for mother. We also ordered the traditional Paella(share2-3), Slowed Braised Beef Short Ribs, the BBQ Pork Ribs and the Sea Bass. The paella was delicious, the slow braised short ribs was extremely tender and tasty but the pork ribs was a little bit too dry, and finally the sea bass was very good according to mom. For drinks, we tried the red Sangria and the Peach Sangria. The Red Sangria was good but not as strong as the Peach Sangria according to my sister in law. We all will definitely come back, especially for the Peach Sangria according.“

“Yvette, the owner of Swing Shift, has cooked, owned and managed restaurants, AND has traveled extensively. She has brought those experiences to Swing Swift and created a “Greatest Hits” menu. My favorite? The tacos from Mexico City are to die for! Chicharrones give them texture and the tortillas are sublime. Not your usual CalMex tacos. My wife could live on rice. She fell in love with the 5 Spice Fried Rice. The pork belly is tasty, not fatty. And a fried egg finishes the dish. Yvette’s burger isn’t from her travels, it’s from her chef’s brain. She marries spices and cheese and high quality beef to create a new burger experience. Ya gotta try it! While we were there, a regular customer walked in, the staff greeted him and said, “Gumbo?” “Yes.” “Anything else?” “No.” He’s in there all the time, JUST for the gumbo. It will remind you of New Orleans. On a personal note, my mother and grandmother used to challenge each other to chili cook-offs and both their chilis were superb. Mom, Grandma, don’t let Yvette join the contest. Her chili is that good! My wife liked the wine list and I was surprised to find mock-tails (try the Sour!) that were actually good, and not just a mishmash of ingredients like so many places. And they take reservations….yay!“

“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.“

“I had the Chicken Mix Bowl with the smokey chipotle sauce and it was AMAZING. I am allergic to dairy, gluten, and soy so being able to not worry about that with my meal was so nice. I also have ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) and have a really hard with certain textures, usually chicken is really hard for me to eat but I had no issues with this chicken!! The texture was consistent all the way through, pulled apart really easily, and was just overall amazing. The portions are really good and the food is very flavorful. I'm really happy with my meal. Thank you guys for the amazing food. I highly recommend this place!!“

“We had such a great meal at Marketplace Café! After the long shopping the arugula and prosciutto pizza was amazing—the crust was perfectly baked, very interesting combination of flavors. For the kids we ordered the mac and cheese, and it came out creamy, cheesy (they loved it!). We finished with the strawberry shortcake, and honestly it’s the best I’ve ever had— fresh strawberries and a buttery biscuit that was just perfect. Great food, friendly service, and a cozy spot inside Nordstrom“

“Great place to dine out with friends and family 😄“

“Excellent food and service and atmosphere“

“We had a wonderful experience at Flights Restaurant in San Francisco! The food was delicious, the service was friendly and prompt, and the atmosphere was great. We went for a large customer dinner and everyone loved it. The quality of the food and the service couldn't be faulted. I would recommend Flights Restaurant to anyone looking for a unique dining experience in San Francisco (especially those who love a restaurant with an aviation vibe).“

“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.“

“Okay first of all everybody deserves a second chance. Today I went back and ordered the same meal fish and chips. First of all, let me say the customer service was good the first time but today Jesus went above and beyond to get the order correct. The fish was very good. The french fries were done and the coleslaw was served on a nice fresh leaf of lettuce. If it was like this the first time you never would have complained but they nailed it this time. 37 North thumbs up.“
