“Had the most wonderful dinner with my Dad here. We both like to draw, so having crayons and being able to make some art on the back of the kids menu was so fun. The atmosphere is very cosy, and they had tea with honey which I really enjoyed. They have booths and bar seating, and marble accents which makes for a nice atmosphere. I had the pesto farro which was really tasty. My dad had a French dish with chicken and vegetables in broth that was really beautiful. I ate his carrots. Very much enjoyed the meal, and would recommend for a cozy spot for conversation with good company.Vegetarian options: The Pesto farro was really good and you can have it vegan if get it without goat cheeseParking: Parking behind the restaurant was available for our Thursday night dinner“
“When your clients decide on Liholiho Yacht Club as the place to meet to design their future wedding rings ?Food is communal by nature, as a result, I was amazed by the fruitfulness our meeting yielded — as we departed, our spirits soared with inspiration and excitement for what’s to come ?“
“Everything about one’s experience here is superb. From the moment you walk in until the completion of the meal - it is top tier service. They care about all the details, from the freshness of each ingredient to the suggestions and pairings of items. We started with the olives and avocado salad - the olives were warm and juicy, and the salad was fresh and light. Paired well together! We also ordered both the squid ink special pasta and the truffle - they were absolutely delicious. We also ordered the garlic Parmesan focaccia and finished off with the chocolate mousse dessert. 10/10 recommend, everything was perfect!“
“Stopped in for a quick lunch after our Alcatraz tour and we were not disappointed! Had one dozen raw oysters and the truffle Parmesan fries. Fresh, delicious! Our server was also lovely and the entire service team was attentive and friendly. Don’t miss this popular place!“
“Showed up around 10:45 on a Monday and waited 10 minutes. Thee friendliest service I've had in SF, felt like eating at my Uncles house. I've server was very accommodating and friendly, super casual and comfy service. Seafood was crazy fresh with all sorts of ways to indulge. Oysters were by far our favorites, followed by the clam chowder. A beer on tap and ice tea to wash it all down. Iconic!“
“Everything was great. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, the ambiance is spot on. The only thing that could have improved is the timing of our food. We were at the restaurant for 2.5 hours. That’s not including the 50 minutes we waited to get seated.“
“T and his staff make you feel like home. First time coming here the owner, T, greeted us and made it feel like we’ve been coming here for years. His staff is extraordinary and the food is just amazing. Been coming here once a month ever since“
“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.“
“Fine dining price & portion but slightly underwhelming. Everything was good but not WOW. Service was mehWe enjoyed the bluefin tuna tostada and the sakura toast the most. The strawberry scallops were also great.Overall overpriced for what it is.Atmosphere was nice though.“
“Every dish was delicious, original, flavorful, and memorable. Managed to not get over anchovies despite having it in almost every dish. Definitely recommend the gravlax, jerky, focaccia, and sundae. Duck schnitzel was good but not on par with the rest.“
“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.“
“We just had a nice and quick dinner here. Cocktails and steak. Straight forward. Very decent place, tasty filet mignon, good mashed potatoes. Nice atmosphere and super friendly staff. Even the cocktails were really nice. And we got a place without reservation. So all in all a very nice experience.“
“Incredibly fresh fish place. Looking at market prices and catch of the day, but everything on the menu you know will be fresh. Pretty stacked line at anytime you come so be prepared to wait. Ceviche good, tacos great, and plenty of outside seating, you just have to be on the prowl.“
“What an amazing experience, the cocktails are a great start, the garlic shrimp app was perfectly cooked, get extra bread you are likely going to want to soak up all of the broth. The seafood is exceptionally fresh and the venue is amazing right on the water. The service is top notch, thank you Gladys for a great experience.“

“Hands down, literally the best dinner I've ever had! From the wine, to Bruschetta appetizer, to meat canneloni and the best tirimissu I've ever had. I'm remember this dinner for a long time! The service was unbeatable as well.. hidden gem!“
“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+“
“Among many excellent Italian spots in the city, this stood out. The homemade pasta has the perfect texture, and the fillings and sauces are delicate and wonderful. Service was kind and attentive, and the space - a favorite when it was Locanda and Ancora - remains intimate and elegant. Looking forward to another opportunity to dine.“
“I really enjoyed my meal there last night. Ordered the vegan combo with the gluten-free teff injeera. The only thing I had to send back were the side order of mushrooms. I requested little or no oil and the dish was drowning in oil. They took it back, no problem and removed the item from my bill. I will go back!“
“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 ?“
“Best oysters I’ve had since ones at a Michelin star restaurant in Copenhagen. Their homemade Serrano garlic hot sauce makes me never want any others on an oyster. The hot oyster selections were an equally as great choice, with the miso bone marrow reigning on top, but this place got my pescatarian girlfriend to try the Panchetta leaning hot oyster choice. The char the cauliflower makes me feel insecure in my own veggie or even meat searing abilities as they’ve achieved a perfect char. The halibut crudo was delicious but I do feel it lacked a bit of acid or citrus to really elevate it to what I expected. On top of the food the drinks were phenomenal, the white wine spritz tasted like the worlds best vanilla sprite or a creamsicle drink better than anything you could imagine, shoutout to our waiter for recommending The yuzu lavender drink was also an all star and was refreshing while sweet and danced over own tongues. The orange wine was also stunning an entry level close to a resiling that taught me orange wine is worth a shot.“
“We got the first table as you walk in the place and felt cozy and comfortable. The service was excellent and the food quite good. The chef's complimentary chocolate truffles for the restaurant's 10 year anniversary were excellent. We will certainly be back!Dietary restrictions: Our friend is gluten free and was happy with the available options.“
“Palette Tea House & Dim Sum is a winner. Located in the Ghirardelli (Chocolate) Square in downtown San Francisco, the dim sum is artfully hand crafted to perfection. The ingredients are fresh; mushrooms hand picked locally; premium wagyu steak; refined Jasmine tea; calming ambience; professional staff; delectable flavors. Highly recommended. Good luck with street parking ?“
“Get hooked on the ocean views and fresh seafood at this legendary San Francisco spot! Everything we had was spectacular! Calamari was lightly fried and fresh. Wedge salad was flavourful and crisp. The grilled octopus was my favorite, perfectly grilled with some char on a romescu sauce. But the cioppino is the reason we went. I regrets, this was a tomato based seafood dish, bursting with flavour and succulent seafood. Unlike any other seafood stews, all of the seafood was perfectly cooked and not over done or chewy. This was what we expected as an iconic San Francisco experience and we were still beyond impressed!“
“We went here for dinner yesterday, the food and service was absolutely incredible! I can’t believe how each dish had so many great flavors. We ordered several dishes ranging from vegetarian to meats, all were spectacular! Thank you for introducing Burma food to us!“
“Everything about our experience here was phenomenal. The wait wasn’t long, the atmosphere was lively, multiple staff tended to us, and before we even got our food. The west coast oysters were great and the Cioppino was so flavorful and full of seafood.Shoutout to Connie, our waitress, for making our experience the more worth while. Your energy was very bright. Highly recommend!“
“In just two short months, it's already my third visit to this restaurant.This restaurant is a great choice for a date, not only because the food is delicious, but also because the overall dining atmosphere is particularly pleasant.I highly recommend their fries, which are not too salty and fried to perfection, very tasty, and you can feel the chef's delicate craftsmanship.The steak is cooked to perfection and I highly recommend it as well.The chocolate soufflé dessert has a moderate sweetness, with a slightly bitter chocolate flavor, and is accompanied by banana ice cream, which is a truly beautiful combination.“
“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!“
“My husband and I came to San Francisco for a short vacation and the concierge at our hotel recommended we find this alley where we would have many choices of what kind of food we wanted. We chose Cafe Tiramisu and were so happy we did! The pizza was perfectly thin and the gnocchi was delicious!!“
“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!“
“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.“
“Awesome place for an intimate evening. Personal service, a complimentary glass of wine, Wonderful food, yum. Or in our case, for the annual Birthday gathering of a four decade fan of Pacific Cafe- Happy Birthday Lee Brady, a beautiful 1929 woman. No reservations. Parking is creative. Get there nlt 430pm for 1st seating ❤️ Don’t miss it. P.S. Tonight, the Zanze cheesecake was the lightest and fluffiest I’ve ever had and their Mitchell’s Vanilla Ice cream is divine.“
“Excellent food and service at this Chinese/Vietnamese restaurant in the Sunset area. We shared a set menu of Roasted Dungeness Crab that came with a small but delicious Cabbage Chicken Salad (Goi Ga), Imperial Rolls (Cha Gio), and buttery Garlic Fried Noodles. The Fried Chicken Wings were crispy but on the sweet side. The food came out promptly and our waitress was friendly and checked on us frequently. Prices were on par with other similar SF establishments. Reservations are recommended, as the restaurant was full on a rainy weeknight when we were thefe. Parking was rather hard to find, so give yourself time, or better yet, don't drive!“
“I was here celebrating a birthday! The food very good the servers were super patient. The view is so beautiful ? this is perfect for lunch by yourself or family and company. The only is the chowder was a disappointment maybe it was just that day but I would not order that again.“
“A cute mom and pop Korean restaurant that is pretty small but we were able to get seating for our party of 4 at around 5 pm on a Sunday night. The staff was so kind and helpful, always refilling our tea kettle and checking up to make sure everything was good. We also loved the different banchan they gave in the beginning like the fish tofu, cucumbers and kimchi. HaeMul Pa Jun (Seafood & Veggie Pancake) - One of mine and my dad's favorite seafood pancakes that we've tried. The pancake is loaded with so many ingredients and has a batter that is light and airy. The sauce on the side is what adds the sweet and savory flavor. Gal Bee (Short Ribs) - The pieces they give are so big, juicy and soft. The meat easily comes off the bone and the marinated sauce gives the meat a lot of sweetness and richness. Seafood Soft Tofu - The dish came out hot and a perfect level of spiciness. It was rich, salty, sweet and a very comforting dish. Everything from the tofu to different seafoods were the perfect consistency inside. Dolsott Bibimbap - Always get it in the stone pot because it makes the rice at the bottom crunchy and adds another layer of texture to the dish. Pretty classic with the vegetables, meat and sauce but tasted good all together. Overall, so well priced for the portions and quality of food we got. I highly recommend it if you're in the Richmond area wanting some traditional Korean dishes.“
“Just had a phenomenal meal with a large group to celebrate a great friend. The food was incredible - we seriously had almost every item on the menu. Everything was delicious but my top three were the Lechon Paella, the Tomate, and the Chuleton; it was difficult to not eat second and third helpings of each of those, but I knew we had several more tasty dishes to come. The service was fantastic; my sangria and water glasses were full at all times and we never had a moment without something yummy on the table in front of us. We had quite a bit left over and everything was boxed a labeled for us so we could take home more of what we loved. I highly recommend Bellota if you have a special occasion or if you just want to have a fantastic dining experience.“
“We heard good things about Brothers so we decided to check it out, and as we came with four people, we went with the four people tasting menu. The 4 person tasting menu had kalbi, bulgogi, your choice of spicy pork or chicken, japchae, and spicy tofu soup. It also came with rice and banchan, which had a pretty good variety. There's a few points that makes Brothers a solid KBBQ place. The quality of the meats was pretty high quality, but that is to be expected considering the tasting menu was ~$36 per person. The portions are also solid as we were all feeling full after. The service was also quite good as they refilled our banchan quite quickly. Overall, I would say that Brothers is a solid choice for KBBQ in the city and would be happy to come back here again“
“Stopped here for a quick lunch while visiting family at CPMC. I enjoy finding different cuisines when in SF and Piroo was a great find. While they don’t have an extensive menu, they have more than enough options to suit any tastes. I had the pork jhol momo and it was great. Just the right amount of savory and spice to make it memorable. They also serve beer and wine to round out your meal.“
“Walked in to the quiet and unassuming location and left sated and with an overly full belly!I began with a spicy tako salad - a perfect mix of tako, cucumber, seawead and a sprig of mint. Enough spice to feel for a few minutes afterwards while my sushi was being prepared.First up was a trio of Salmon belly, Hamachi belly, and Toro. Each one was more delicated and delicious than the previous. Next were two great pieces of Ama Ebi with perfectly fried heads. The Sexy Roll followed - a mixture of Hamachi and avacado topped with more Hamachi, Green tobiko and jalapeno.My desert round was Mackerel, Scallop, and the Buddhilicous Roll.The service was exceptional and the value for what I paid was outstanding.My only negative was self-inflicted and that's because I only found this spot on my last free evening in town.I'll be back for sure...“
“TLDR: It's the most reliable fish and chip store. I've tried this place at various times in a more than 5 year span and it has always been good. Can and will always recommend. Fish: Batter isn't too thick, and the fish has a flaky solid bite. Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside with seasoning that won't overpower the mouth. Shrimp: The same solid battering with the same seasoning profile. Shrimp was not overcooked and it provides a different texture compared to the fish. Fries: Fries are fries. It's nothing special, but they didn't mess it up. Clam Chowder: Rich, creamy, loaded with seafood, and it can surprisingly compete with the better clam chowders around town. Service: It's a food truck. You order, you pay, and you get your food. It's not hard to mess it up. Ambiance: The picnic benches under the umbrellas around the truck isn't bad given the San Francisco climate. The tables are sometimes sticky though because they're probably not wiped as much.“
“Had the uni pasta, made with squid ink pasta. This dish was better than I expected. The density of the noodles was what I expected for squid ink noodles and the uni sauce was a great addition. I wish it had a bit stronger of an uni taste, but this dish was still delightful.“
“Solid Happy Hour specials, $2 oysters were plump and extremely fresh. Mussels were lacking in meat unfortunately this time and I wasn't fond of the sauce too much. Steamed Manila Clams and an order of the house bread (from Acme bread) was really good and filling. Stick with oysters and $9 wine specials, you won't be disappointed!Oh and did I mention the lively, cute decor? Staff were super friendly and knowledgable also :) Recommended!“
“Such a hidden gem - One of the best Thai restraunts Iv'e had in the Bay Area! They have a main menu that mostly contains the more standard Thai dishes that might see at a lot of other places. But they also have a hidden menu with some really unique Thai dishes that I haven't seen very often here but had when I visited Thailand and this brought back tons of memories! For the 2 of us, we got the fresh raw shrimp appetizer, papaya salad with blue crab, crab omlette, and stir fried morning glory. All the dishes were yum, but the first 2 were quite spciy! Servers are also super friendly and price is very reasonable for SF especially considering its location in the Marina. Highly recommend!“

“Indian food made and offered with love. Some of the best indian food I've had in any restaurant in the country, made with true love. Chef has decades of global experience and it showed in the flavors and the cooking. We had paneer tikka, daal makhani and ordered two thalis and loved the ability to choose our lentils and curry of choice. The daal makhani was heavenly. The paneer was mind blowing. The breads were soft, freshly made and very filling. We had kheer and rasmalai for dessert and everything was just perfect. Strongly recommend. Service was excellent.“
“before we went on the ship to alcatraz, i wanted to have a quick bite to eat. the fried calamari were delicious - the only thing missing was a slice of lemon, which you could certainly order. unfortunately, the cocktail sauce didn't suit me at all. the waiter then brought me 2 other sauces - which i really appreciated. unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is what it is - a touristy place - overpriced.“
“Amazing quality and rich tasty food proportions are Awsome high class spot love it !!!!!! Never been to such an excellent Burmese restaurant!! Great cocktails service & food & price is outstanding I give it 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“Can only comment on oysters, cocktails and ambiance. Super cute spot, cool bar top - great for photos - we took several. Oysters were great! Fresh and flavorful. Our friend even tried her first oyster here tonight. Cocktails were unique and delicious ~$16/each. But the main reason we will be back is due to the service of the bartender, Heidi. She was awesome - friendly, efficient and just gets it!“
“Lovely neighborhood spot with delightful Louisiana cuisine in the Stanyan / Cole Valley area!I'm vegetarian and Creole cuisine is always tricky because seemingly vegetarian dishes (e.g. rice & beans) often contain chicken stock or ham. CreoLA does a great job of creating vegetarian food that's authentic and not an afterthought. They have a vegetarian jambalaya that's amazing! The wild mushrooms in it are juicy and full of flavor and it makes me happy I can taste the beautiful flavors of Creole cooking. Also recommended are the hush puppies and the beignets. My partner loves the catfish here and says the fish is cooked just right and it's never over done.“
“Husband and I had dinner here, was seated according reservation, very polite and professional staff. food was delicious, husband had petite Filet Mignon, I ordered the special Bone in filet. Both were juicy and full of flavor. It was cooked according to preference, we both loved it. had some sides, creamy spinach and portabella mushrooms, perfect. with the steaks, enjoyed the garlic fries and bread with old fashions to start. We ended with dessert and coffee. would highly recommend for birthday, date night, or just because you want to enjoy a amazing steak. We ate here for the first time when it opened way back in early 2000's and it hasn't disappointed us at all. very consistent to who they are and what they serve. luv it!“
“Everything was made to order. The Fish was fresh and the Tempura style batter deliciously crispy. I was in SF from Scotland and have ate plenty of Fish & Chips at home and during my trip and this was definitely the standout of all the places I tried in SF. I can not understand some of the other reviews about blandness. It's battered Fish & Chips folks.. and excellent at that.Portion Sizes excellent with plenty of fresh and crispy fries.“
“So fresh, the ingredients speak for themselves, complimented by tasteful accoutrement. Agua Fresca is no added sugar which was refreshing. The ceviche with salmon was unique, memorable with its mild use of orange for the acid, fantastic. The trout complimented the delicate dressing of the salad as expertly recommended by the cashier. Cool staff, fun space, drink while you wait!“
