“An exceptional dining experience“

“Tasting menu was tailored for the 4 vegetarians/pescatarians out of 5 in our group. Each item was very tasty and we enjoyed to the last bite. Servers were very professional and knew their stuff. Since we were there for our anniversary, we received a card from them which basically thanked us for making them part of our celebration. Classy touch!“

“Fantastic experience at Bix. Great service, amazing atmosphere and delicious food.😋“

“I’ve been coming here for years to meet w/family & friends to celebrate or anytime just because or to unwind in the comfy lounge & experience MKT Bar’s excellent service you find in a Four Seasons & the drinks are simply the best! Today was my daughter’s boyfriend’s 1st time here & he understood 💯 why we love MKT Bar & he is an awesome bartender!“

“This dinner was about as perfect as I could have hoped for. I will admit, I was nervous at first. Ive been to Alinea in the past and was very disappointed by the experience. I was worried this may also be over-hyped, but wow! What a dinner. The food was spot on in every instance with a generous amount of food. They had so much creativity and innovation throughout the dinner. The staff was so kind. Not stuffy at all. I loved it. My girlfriend and I came for her birthday and they made her a cake, which was a great final touch to the already flawless dinner. We hope to return again!“

“The spicy chicken dish was crazy good. The most tender chicken of my life. Also had some fries which were incredible. I didn't have a cocktail but my friends loved theirs, particularly the martini. Beautiful dining area, would definitely go back.“

“The wild sf is worth being passionate about. An unbelievably hardworking team, working in a space that prioritizes intimacy between chefs, service professionals, and the guests. You cannot sit at the counter and feel disconnected from the displays of culinary excellency happening in the space. The food is innovative and inspiring, but simultaneously grounded, connected deeply to the values of the team that prepares it. The hospitality is genuine and led by some of the most talented professionals in this industry. Stop in and experience it for yourself; my words can only go so far.“

“Pizza was amazing and the music was awesome 💕 a great neighborhood place with friends!“

“Nice little spot! Emphasis on little. Went in, was the only diner for a while until a few other folks came in. Sat at the counter that had a convenient foot bar. Staff was attentive. The music was really calming too.
Ordered the duck breast ramen for 1$18 and it was so good! Great flavors! Was so excited to eat, I burned my tongue a little🥲 Didn’t try any sushi, but if you’re looking for a ramen fix, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Quince is utter perfection. A beautiful restaurant. As a solo diner, I sat at the 4 seat bar. Service was extraordinary, every dish and glass of wine was explained. And the food is tremendous - from the small pre-meal tastings to the small post-meal dessert tastings, everything is delicious and perfectly prepared. The tasting menu included caviar, fish, pasta, lamb and figs. The wine pairings were just right. A wonderful lunch ever.“

“Had the Onam special meal and it was a fantastic choice. The food was authentic and full of flavor, amazing presentation. the ambience was warm and festive, and the service staff is outstanding. Chef Thomas even came by to greet us personally, which made the experience extra special. Highly recommend“
