New American Restaurants near Pacifica, CA

“Cute place, friendly service, nice atmosphere, great white hot chocolate.“

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

“My son took me here for lunch - we’d been meaning to try it. We were very pleased - amazing view with tiered tables so other guests aren’t blocking the view. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious and nicely presented. As a nice addition, there was a pianist playing while we dined which added to the ambience. We will come back because it was such a nice treat. One of those places that makes me love living in California!“

“A great way to experience a four course meal at an affordable price, with delicious food. We will definitely be back.“

“just lovely! vegan friendly but the fried chicken was tops!“

“The food here is absolutely delicious and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. I can't recommend this little gem in the Lakeside neighborhood enough. Reasonable prices as well as many menu choices. Do yourself a favor and go there and sample everything, you will be very glad you did.“

“Great entertainment and hosts!!!“

“Thank you chef Josh! Excellent experience!

Service: 10/10 we arrived early and were seated right away. The host was friendly and greeted us genuinely. Our server brought water, olives and almonds and extra olives for my wife with almond allergies so she can try the yummy olives. Amazing detail to my parties food allergies and checked to make sure the food was safe and had alternatives to accommodate.

Food: 10/10 the food was delicious. French influenced California cuisine. Fresh high quality ingredients. Sauces that enhanced the flavors and a balance of umami in all dishes. It was great that one person can have the prefix menu and others at the table can order al a cart. You can also order just one dish from prefix menu. The duck was perfect, the 3 cheeses with toast paired perfectly with the Bordeaux. The smoked trout was very well seasoned and balanced nicely with the pickled cauliflower. The hanger steak was super tender and flavorful with no dairy!!!
Wine paring is excellent. The selection of French wines is reasonable and great for food pairing.
I think the josey baker sourdough beats tartine country bread! The warm
Chocolate cookie with ice cream was delicious, the polenta cake with cream and rhubarb was shockingly good!

Ambience: 8/10 I love the simple open decor. Bar, dining and kitchen blend together. It wasn’t too noisy because the ceiling pads dampened it.

Price: $$ (great value)
Overall, an amazing neighborhood up leveled cuisine in a casual setting. We will be back with friends!“

“fantastic food and drinks with attentive staff and a lively atmosphere!!!“

“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!“

“The best vegan food Best ever service-our family go to for family events and every day dining ❤️“

“Banana Foster French toast and their freshly squeezed orange juice.“

“Wonderful “white table cloth” bistro experience.“

“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!“

“The staff here are beyond excellent.. Millie Gabe are fantastic bartender’s he are friendly and make wonderful drinks.. Mike Omir Lucus are warm and accommodating to their guests. 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

“Always a wonderful time and great service“

“JC Bruno is more than a restaurant, it’s a relationship. It’s now my #1 spot, and I’d recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone looking for great food, genuine people, and unforgettable service! If you’re looking for a go-to restaurant that feels like your favorite local spot and your second home, JC Bruno is it. I truly mean when I say that Marcela, the owner, is the soul of this place, and she has completely redefined what true hospitality means in today’s world. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted not just by a friendly staff, but by people who genuinely care. Marcela herself is always around, and what makes her so special is that she doesn’t act like a distant owner, but rather you feel like you’re planning something with a longtime friend. She’ll chat with you, laugh with you, and most importantly, she stands by you to help plan your perfect experience, whether you’re organizing a small dinner or a full-blown celebration. What blew me away most was how flexible she is. JC Bruno’s menu is already this amazing fusion of European, Mediterranean, and other international flavors, but if there’s something special you want that’s not listed? Just ask. Marcela will go out of her way to make it happen. That kind of flexibility is almost unheard of these days. I’ve worked with many restaurants for events and special dinners, but working with Marcela is different because she treats you like a partner, not a transaction. She’ll talk through your vision, offer smart suggestions, and help you figure out the best possible setup for your group. The way she collaborates with you makes it fun and stress-free. It’s rare to find a place where the owner is this involved and down-to-earth.“

“A cozy but stylish place for dinner! We ordered a la cart but did get the uni Creme Brulee (which is worth) and the crispy rice with tuna; both were excellent, next time I’d love to try the crab flavor as well. The burrata is also really refreshing and the peaches works quite well. We saved room for dessert and the hojicha panne cotta was very different, but I enjoyed the mixing of all the different flavors. Servers were very friendly and attentive. I really enjoyed our meal here.“

“Excellent food Best gelato too“

“Their chef Ramzy openly admits to tampering with the food of Jewish customers and ownership does nothing. Avoid this place and the Nazis who run it.“

“Absolute favorite neighborhood bar! Drinks, food and vibes are always amazing ❤️✨

EDIT: I love Asiento even more now, after we hosted our wedding afterparty here! Debi, the owner, is an absolute rockstar. She was so incredibly helpful throughout our planning process, and genuinely cares about your event and guests. She specifically brought custom meals to guests with dietary restrictions, engaged with our friends, and was so fun and attentive at the same time. This place is such a gem and I’m so grateful to Debi and her team for creating such a wonderful bar. Everyone raved about the cocktails and food! Whether you just want a night out or want to throw a party…Asiento is the best!“

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

“Awesome shakes and heavenly garlic fries 👍“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“We were pleasantly surprised with this place. There is a nice variety of foods available here. The overall ambiance is nice, with several somewhat private places to conduct business meeting. There is a pool table and other tabletop shuffle board. Service was great. Orders can be placed at any number of touchscreen kiosks. When your order is ready you will get a text. Sit anywhere. We definitely need to explore having our admin meeting here next time. Definitely will be back.“

“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.“

“Stopped by The Anecdote at Oyster Point for some drinks and bites after work—great spot! The bar has a cool vibe with awesome bay views. I had the mushroom empanadas, sliders, and a local beer—they all hit the spot. Chill atmosphere, friendly staff, and solid bar food. Definitely a gem if you’re in the area.“

“Both eating here and working here were one of the highlights of my time in the Culinary Program.“

“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).“

“Good food. Good service good size portions.“

“Both eating here and working here were one of the highlights of my time in the Culinary Program.“

“Beautiful scenery, great little hike to lighthouse..“

“I've been staying and working in South San Francisco this week without a car. Have dined there for lunch 2 days in a row now, and both days I also brought back dinner to my hotel for the evening. Everything has been delicious with fresh ingredients. Really creative and elevated offerings for a quick service restaurant. The salmon was especially amazing! I had 2 really dismal experiences earlier in the week with Doordash and only wish I had tried Foundry & Lux sooner. I'll be back tomorrow before heading back home on Saturday 😀“

“It's good that the CCSF Cafeteria has tofu. The only thing is that the tofu should be cheaper than the animals. The mushroom barely soup was too oily also. The small square of tofu was about $4.50. Would like to pay less for plant based options.“

“Fine-dining meal for $19!!This is a wonderful little restaurant, on the fourth floor of Burk Hall, that's only open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays currently. You should make a reservation on Yelp, but I think they allow walk-ins. There's a prix fix option, which is just under $20.50 after tax. You get to choose an appetizer, entree, and dessert, and drinks. Only cash or checks are accepted.The bread provided was foccacia cut into diamond-shaped pieces. The bread that they first brought out was hard and dry, so I told them it was hard. More bread was brought out promptly and it was softer, but still dry. I didn't tell them it was dry because I didn't want to be difficult. I had some lemonade to drink, and it was pretty good. I also had tea at the end, but it was piping hot and I didn't get a chance to drink much. It was fine.I chose to have the house green salad for my appetizer. It was a good mix of leafy-greens covered in vinaigrette. It wasn't special, but good. I decided to have the pasta of the week for my entree. It was penne pasta salad with feta cheese, capers, and cooked grape tomatoes. It was absolutely delicious and I basically inhaled it. For dessert, I chose the pumpkin bundt cake. It was fantastic. It was moist, soft, a little misshapen, but still delicious. The créme anglaise was like melted ice cream, and I loved it.The waiters were students and had more to learn. Service was very good, despite mistakes. The person who seemed like an instructor was great. You won't be able to find a three-course fine-dining meal anywhere else in San Francisco for the same price. The portions are good sizes and you'll leave feeling fed, but not stuffed. I highly recommend checking this place out.

“Love the happy hour. Anchor Steam Draft and Chicken wings. And the sexy manager is very �“

“Great staff. The patio restaurant is very spacious & bright.“

“Surprisingly excellent cafe next to a surprisingly great park. Usually stick to more ‘SF’-ey items like the breakfast sandwich With a cheesy, buttery scramble that hits the spot. Coffee can also be excellent, or burnt depending on the barista. Seems to fly under the radar as most of the clientele are unlikely to notice. The decor is eclectic which is perfect for the random demographic that Bernal seems to attract“

“Excellent food and service and atmosphere“

“As amazing as I expect every time. No cioppino on the menu today but paella ohh yumm“

“Authentic Mexican restaurant. Had the pupusas, Carne Asadas and chips. The Pupusas were delicious and filling. The salsa that came along with the chips was really refreshing, one of the best salsas I’ve had. Carne Asadas was flavourful and portion was huge. Prices are affordable as well 👍🏼“

“Its airport food, its ok but nothing to write home about. The service on the other hand was great. Im used to gettimg my food and never seeing wait staff again but this place was different and i really like that. Will stop in here to eat because of that when i can. “

“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.“

“This place is an absolute gem in San Francisco! Tucked away but totally worth discovering, it quickly became one of my favorite spots in the city. The food was outstanding — every dish was bursting with flavor, fresh ingredients, and clearly made with care.

From the first bite to the last, everything we ordered was delicious. The portions were generous, the presentation was beautiful, and the variety on the menu made it hard to choose — in the best way!

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was just as impressive as the food. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind staff made the whole experience even better.

If you’re in SF and love amazing food in a cozy, authentic setting, don’t miss this place. Truly a hidden treasure!“

“I’ve been an employee at SFO and have never experienced better customer service than at Napa Farms Market! Particularly the location serving Terminal 2. Everyday I visit the farms market, I’m greeted with the most exceptional care and professionalism. Special thanks to Employees: LIFISI, CARINA & MARIANNE. Thank you for all you do!“
