“Love the ocean views!! The best part of the restaurant is the booths that face the ocean :) Drinks were also really good - the fruity sunset drink was great and the lavender lemonade drink was also. The crab legs in the crab leg entree were AMAZING tasting! The veggie sides were only okay... The calamari app I would skip... wasnt too great. crab cakes were good but pricey .. but they had good flavor and good amounts of crab meat. All in all i would recommend when doing dinner in pacifica!“
“Fun place! A locals spot! I cherish bars like these that are cash only, catered to the local crowd and still welcome you as if you are one of the fellas... Bartenders are Great people! Tip them well... they are good at their craft. Happy boozing...“
“Just had the crab sandwich for lunch at Vallemar Station. It was excellent, enough to move it to the top of my list for the best crab sandwich in Pacifica. The fries were also perfectly cooked. My sister and I will definitely be back. My next order will be the prime rib.“
“My husband and I popped in for cocktails after a dinner and had a great time. At 7:30pm on a Thursday, we easily found a table and tried a pina colada and their after the gold rush cocktail - both very good. We could hear each other talk but there was still a lively ambience. The decor is fun and we’re lucky this is local to us.“
“Great spot if you are solo or with a partner. Amazing atmosphere for two cases. I came in to try the oyster chowder and it was phenomenal 5/5. I had the amber beer they had on tap and it was delicious. I was fortunate to have the owner man the bar and had a pleasure talking to him. I look forward to coming back and becoming a regular whenever I’m in the city. - some places you stop in and you can tell right away someone takes great care of the place and it’s usually family owned. Much love and respect for the owners and the comfortable, safe space they created.“
“Got take out from here the other day. We ordered the huarrches and enchilades rojas. We like the huarrches because you don't see it on a lot of menu's. I liked how it had beans inside the masa and it came with a generous portion of carnitas. The enchilades were delicious too. Both were slightly pricy, but good food overall. Look forward to eating here in person soon.“
“Up to this point this might be my favorite bar in the city. I appreciated the laid back atmosphere, the delicious hot apple cider with brandy, the cozy seating, and the music. Like where the heck else can you find a live organist and trumpeting who absolutely wail?? Live music Thursday through Sunday, no cover charge but tips are appreciated (and very much deserved) for the musicians. Such a cool spot“
“We came in for a 530 reservation and I feel like this experience would have been better when the movie was actually playing. Next time we’ll have to try to get a later reservation! The food was really good but we wish we skipped the arugula salad. It was just okay. The duck and smoked salmon were amazing and the oysters were so good too. The vibe was a little off since it was still light out. Service was okay - our drinks took a long time but after that it was solid.“
“Beautiful ambiance and delicious Portuguese cuisine, I loved my first outing here with my boo who has been here before. We started off with a yummy potato soup followed by cod and potato fritter. For our entrees, I ordered the bacalhau à Gomes de sá, and my boo ordered the carne de porco à alentejana (I liked his dish a little better). We didn’t skip on dessert, and ordered the beautiful pastel de nata. Will be coming back again!“
“They have good beer options, cocktail selections and shots. The atmosphere is really amazing with a couple of couches and tables. Wall decoration, coloring and lightings are beautiful. Bar seating is also available.Parking: Street parking is difficult at evening and nights due to busy area. Street parking is paid until 6:00 pm.“
“Love this spot! The service is very welcoming and friendly, and the food tastes like a Korean home cooked meal. They don't mess around with flavor here!I would say everything on the menu is a must try, but my favorites are the Hangover Soup, Fried Chicken w/ Yuzu Sauce, and Corn Cheese (addicting).An honorable mention would be the stuffed mushrooms.Lastly, the restaurant is a fun vibe with great music. They have an event almost every week so check out their IG for a party!“
“Piccino is truly a hidden gem. The food is outstanding, the cocktails are exceptional, the service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is wonderfully warm and cozy. Every item on the menu is sure to elicit a satisfied sigh. And if you think olives are just olives, think again. These ones must be coated in dopamine—they're absolutely divine. If you get the chance, I highly recommend sitting at the chef's counter. There's something magical about watching the kitchen staff in action, building anticipation, and then experiencing the payoff when your dish arrives. It's an experience that's definitely worth the trip.“
“The food and service here are absolutely top-notch! Today, I indulged in the Code Bleu burger, perfectly charbroiled to a juicy medium. Topped with Bleu Cheese, rich BBQ sauce, crispy bacon, a large onion ring, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and a pickle, it was hands down the tastiest burger I've ever had! And those sweet potato fries? Crispy, sweet perfection. We also tried the French Dip, generously filled with thinly sliced top sirloin, accompanied by savory au jus and crispy fries. Every dish we've tried here has been consistently delicious. For excellent food, cozy ambiance, and exceptional service, I highly recommend this restaurant!“
“Amazing food, large portions, strong drinks! I like Daly City original joes much better than the one in the city. Place is always packed which is a green flag. Service is a little slow since it’s always busy but very reasonable. The butter cake dessert is a must try! Drinks are also very strong, 1 cocktail is more than enough to get me tipsy“
“The Halfway Club is a welcome addition to the Excelsior. While we were bummed when Broken Record closed we are thrilled for the Halfway Club!Came in on a Friday night as a group of 4 for drinks. We were originally planning to get the $13 cocktails but couldn't refuse the $23 pitcher of hazy IPA.... And then took the recommendation of the Mezcal Paloma which was refreshing with great flavor.Service was amazing with great recs, perfect balance of checking in and letting us hang, and sharing offerings. Also, great music at a volume where you can talk but still enjoy.If you live in the Excelsior or are in the area (e.g. soccer games in Crocker Amazon) you need to drop by and support this place.Will be coming to Tuesday trivia and Wednesday movie night ASAP and getting food (which we hear is great!)“
“This has been an outstanding experience. We sat at the bar and ordered. - shishito peppers. Outstanding with an umami rich sauce - curry fried chicken - delicious - mussels - one of the best mussel dishes I have ever had - truffled fries - fantastic I cannot remember a better, tastier meal. 5 stars. Please come and support this restaurant. I want them to succeed. Noe Valley is the better for them being a part of this community! Outstanding. Also- a shout out to Alex behind the bar. He could not have been nicer! Wine was also outstanding!“
“This was our first time visiting for brunch and we were not disappointed! We tried the French toast sticks, hibiscus lemonade, biscuits and gravy, breakfast sandwich and chilaquiles! All phenomenal and our server was pleasant and attentive. 10/10 recommend.“
“We rented out the whole bar a couple weeks ago for a group event and it was fantastic. Amazing drinks, atmosphere, and service. Our friend group has been coming here for many years — our only regret is that they stopped selling branded hats as we would totally buy some :3“
“I am officially sold. This place used to be a dive, but they've invested a good amount in here to make it friendly, cozy, and modern. The walls have been redone, the lighting is new, and the fixtures are all new. There's a super long bar area and plenty of booths and counters as well. Service is great, and their happy hour is $3 off everything. Honestly, it's kind of a steal, and you get to bring in food from neighboring restaurants. We were here on a Friday night and it wasn't super packed. You could still talk to your friends and watch whatever was playing through their regular broadcast networks. Will be back!“
“My friend recommended I check this place out. What a wonderful experience. It is a very cozy homey space great wine, lasagna to die for, small bites and salad were excellent too and great company. Owners are super friendly and fun to chat with. Had to bring my husband there. He loved it as well. And a 20% discount happy hour is cherry on top.“
“I went here for a girls night and had a great time. The head chef/bartender was absolutely amazing and catered to us personally. The bouncer also came and check on us multiple time. We had amazing food and drinks. The music was fantastic .We’ll definitely will be back.“
“This super cool lounge style bar with yummy bar bites in the sunset district is the only one of it's kind on the west side of the city. The beautiful interiors have tons of seating options for groups large and small. The atmosphere is lively while still feeling laid back. The open room can get loud when busy but remains feeling intimate and cozy in the booths. Warm enough inside to get dressed up on the weekend while still casual for afterwork drinks. I absolutely adore this place and cannot recommend it highly enough.“
“It was a nice place, they have different of beers selection and nice alcohol drinks.Nice neighborhood bar for a busy day and kind of get a nice drink in good pricesWe got some food and it was all right, I will say food it’s not the strongest but if you’re hungry then grab a bit it’s okay.The service was good the guy was always making sure everything was all right with us.Adding photos!!Hope this help“
“Do you like a place that's locally owned, well this is the place. The owner is there working with the staff making sure everyone is having a great time. Great bartenders.The sliders are truly something your taste buds will marvel at. They are presented on an English muffin that's lightly toasted and served with just a little mayo. The shrimp are served in a garlic butter that just makes your mouth water. The chips and guacamole were probably some of the freshest I've ever had, I had to wonder if she picked the avocados off the tree that morning.“
“We weren’t sure what to expect because we heard some mixed reviews but knew it had changed ownership fairly recently. It was amazing! We enjoyed every dish from the appetizers (saute of clams, clam chowder) to the mains (mixed combo seafood skillet, crab and asparagus spaghetti). We will definitely be recommending this restaurant to friends.“
“This place is a gem! Great rooftop with a nice view to the city of San Francisco, they serve great margaritas (recommend the pitcher) as well as food!Birria tacos and chicharrons are a must!Vegetarian options: Quesadilla vegetariana, guacamole and chips“
“Overdue review - came here for a board dinner. Beautiful spacious comfortable space. The food was really good! Want to go back when they have the cauliflower main dish back - it was delicious! Didn't really have enough room to do the delicious desserts justice - another reason to go back. Unfortunately they close at 7pm due to being in a office building space. There's an underground path to the parking garage - it's a little tricky to figure out but it's there. It is a bit of a walk - might want to drop off the rest of your party at the restaurant first before parking.“
“Delicious cocktails, and they always have fantastic seasonal options. Great ambience and one of the cleanest bar bathrooms I've ever seen. Bar tenders are always helpful and friendly. The spring Plum Rum was just so tasty I probably had two too many. :)“
“We have been going to Emmy's since she had her location, down a few blocks on Virginia Street. TO BE TOTALLY HONEST! If I had to choose my "last supper" here on earth. It would be the Spaghetti and Meatballs. Hands down the BEST I have ever had. Perfectly cooked pasta, plus AMAZING sauce! The cappers in the meatballs, nice touch! Absolute perfection. And NOW that I do not eat red meat. They have Beyond Meatballs as a fantastic substitute. If you have NEVER tried this San Francisco jewel. You're missing out!“
“Weve been going here many times and last Sunday, the experience kinda leveled up. I personally like the Passport, Surfer on Acid?, and Bolo Tie except the Monkey Wrench. We also enjoyed the short talk with the bartender who've shared his expertise in bartending - listen to this guy's vision. Pro tip - have him surprise you with a dessert cocktail.“
“Great spot for cocktails and food. Shares some menu items with the full service restaurant next door including their delicious pizza. Well crafted cocktails, friendly staff and great service! We ordered an appetizer that we mistakenly somehow missed was fried and not what we wanted. Totally our fault but they still took it off the bill.“
“What an unexpected treat to find a vintage Art Deco-style bar hidden in the Mission that evokes classic Manhattan nightclubs like El Morocco. I could even picture Barbra Streisand here brushing Robert Redford's hair off his forehead as she sighs his name in breathless pre-coital ecstasy..."Hubbell Gardiner". Loved "The Way We Were" but as usual, I digress. I showed up at 4PM, rather early for a cocktail, but...Oy, I was having such a day. The bartender just opened the front door, and the place was, of course, empty and quite dark . There were white tablecloths, aquamarine neon lighting, and potted palms with classic Trompe-l'œil images on the walls. The stylish decor required a cocktail that matched the mid-century mood. A $12 Makers Mark Manhattan (photo: bit.ly/44UpFyZ) was smooth and just the right libation. All they need is the Glenn Miller Orchestra.COCKTAIL - 5 stars...potent and classy cafe society drinkAMBIANCE - 5 stars...the vintage vibe really wooed me, and the lone palm is out on the sidewalkSERVICE - 4 stars...not too chattyTOTAL - 5 stars...meet me at El Morocco, soldierRELATED - Exploring the Mission? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: bit.ly/2NHtst6“
“A pure dive bar to its soul. I came here on a Friday night, and Dog House has everything you want in a dive. Chill vibe and bartenders, good drink prices, and an including a variety of shot+beer combo options.I asked for “a Jameson and a beer”, getting a Budweiser and a very generous pour of Jamo for $10. Hope to grab a drink here next time I’m in the area“
“What a great local bar. The girl behind the bar was fantastic good personality chatting with some of the locals. There was also a gentleman behind the bar as things started to get busy he backed her up, he was also very approachable. These guys know how to read a room. I will definitely be back.Parking: Little tricky to find parking close to the bar but if you continue to go around the block you can park on the street about a block or so away.“
“I recently had the pleasure of hosting a private event at TwelveMonth in Burlingame, and it was an experience that exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, every aspect of the event was nothing short of exceptional.The venue itself exudes sophistication and charm, with its elegant decor and inviting ambiance. It provided the perfect backdrop for our gathering, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening.What truly set TwelveMonth apart, however, was the staff. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The team went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the festivities.The private party space was spacious yet intimate, allowing for seamless mingling and conversation among guests. The layout was well thought out, and the amenities provided added an extra touch of luxury to the event.Overall, our experience at TwelveMonth was nothing short of amazing. It was a private party for the books, and I can't recommend this venue enough for anyone looking to host a memorable event. Huge thanks to the staff for their impeccable service and for helping to make our event truly special. We will definitely be back for future celebrations!“
“At 5:30 pm on Friday we were able to get a table right away. The main room was a lot noisier than the lounge area, however, the better seating was in the main room with the wide windows. Our waiter was attentive and made great suggestions. I recommend the lamb and macaroni with jalapeños and bacon. The macaroni dish was enough for 2 people. The Watermelon and Pineapple alcoholic drinks (I forgot the names) were refreshing.“

“Stopped in yesterday for the first time. There was barely anyone there and it felt like our server neglected us. Our food and drinks came out promptly but she never came by to see how everything was or if we wanted to order more drinks. She was standing at the bar talking to another worker for quite some time while we waited and waited. Ended up stopping another server going by to grab her for us. Otherwise, the food and drink flights we had were pretty good. I would still go back again.“
“We’ve been coming to this restaurant for years, and it never fails to impress. The delicious Thai cuisine is a culinary delight, and the staff's kindness enhances the overall experience. The yellow curry is my absolute favorite – a flavorful masterpiece. Five stars without a doubt!“
“What a vibe, great drinks! The bartenders are QUALITY... They are very attentive and quick to push out quality drinks. The place was not really crowded due to the rain but the patrons were diverse and respectful. One thing I did notice was that despite being able to work efficiently, the bar did cycle through workers often. Would begin socializing with the group and then look to the bar, new bartenders. Talk more, look back and it was back to original with maybe some new faces or mix of them. There was one bartender guy that looked like a model or belonged on one of those Netflix dating shows. Tipped him twice as much because... why not? The drinks were unique! There was a matcha martini that was really good. The after taste had a nice matcha aroma and the mezcal drink, campfire something. Those two were the ones I asked for and both delivered in terms of taste, visual appeal, and price. Did not get to try the food since we arrived pretty late. However, would be cool to come back soon to!“
“I'd call this Taiwanese inspired cuisine. We went for late Saturday brunch and there was no wait. They have a back patio for outdoor seating as well. The waitstaff are attentive. I didn't have to ask for water when the pitcher was running low. We had the fan tuan, xi fan (rice porridge), spicy chicken sandwich, and mochi waffle. The fan Tuan was wrapped a little too loosely but the flavors were decent. The xi fan was pretty true to what I grew up with but for $12 I thought the portion a little small. The soft boiled egg it came with was perfect. Mochi waffle was great too. Lighter than other mochi waffles I've had in a good way. I personally didn't love the Szechuan peppercorns in the syrup but that's just personal preference. The spicy chicken sandwich had a good sized piece of fried chicken in it. The spicy fish sauce it came with paired well with the fried chicken. Highly recommend this dish. I'll definitely come back to try other things but the prices were a tad high for me to come regularly.“
“My friend and I had dinner at Twelvemonth last night and it was an amazing experience! There are several parking lots in the downtown area, as well as street parking. The theming and decor here is so cute and would be great for a date night! We sat inside next to a big tree, and the whole vibe inside was amazing and felt upscale. I can't wait to come back here during the warmer weather and sit outside! They also have a bakehouse around the corner, but I don't believe it was open when we went around dinnertime. Everything here is vegan, and although I'm not vegan, I truly did not miss the meat at all and thought all of the food we tried was flavorful and delicious! We started with the crispy maitake mushrooms, which were so chewy, crispy, and flavorful! They had hot nash seasoning, pickles, and whipped ranch, and they came with a delicious dipping sauce which was equally as yummy. I had the Winter Chopped Salad as my entree, but I asked for feta instead of the blue cheese. It was such a delicious salad that I'd definitely order again, but I'd probably pair it with another entree, as I was still a little hungry afterwards. I also had the Windfall mocktail which was refreshing and light! I really enjoyed it. My friend ordered the spaghetti and a glass of wine and enjoyed them both! The servers were very attentive and our water glasses were never empty. They also answered any questions we had and were very friendly! Side note- the restrooms are also so cool here! I recommend checking them out! (I didn't take any pictures but they are so cute and very clean!) I never though I'd drive out of my way to go to a vegan resturant, but I'd do it again! I can't wait for my next visit to Twelvemonth!“
“Absolutely great bar in my opinion. Always has local and not so local bigger bands playing, great tap selection, and overall great vibe. Sea Jay, the owner is usually there having fun listening to music as well. What can I say, he seems to have great taste.The bar also hosts events like the Rock ‘n’ Roll flea market which is always a treat for all your music needs and neat bric-a-brac that the vendors bring in. Usually something for everyone which is fun cause all of us aren’t music nerds!“
