Restaurants by Cuisine
“We walked in on NYE without a reservation and they graciously found us a spot in the bar area. Service was on point and staff were festively dressed! I love a crafty cocktail but most are too sweet. I had the Smokey mezcal cocktail 🍹. Perfection. Appetizers were delish as well. Perfect way to start our NYE celebrations.”

“We weren't planning on going here but changed our mind mid way and I'm happy that we did. The service was excellent, the food was good and the mezcals were mind-blowing
We joined the donaji mezcal club because why not, it's a pretty awesome concept and I'm not saying no to another shot of mezcal. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting SFvisiting.
Note: The quantities are good so be careful about ordering too much food. One entre is pretty filling for one person”
“This place is awesome! I went last night and I happen to meet the owner... ended up staying for a few hours and the staff, owner, and regulars who came in were all really great! Feels like a cozy community oasis in the middle of SF. Good for a date night as well, as they have plenty of good wine, intimate spots, and it's not too loud! Def go!”
“Best laid back bar in town. Excellent foor and drinks.”
“The papusas are yummy, the plantains are perfect, great, the service is friendly, and the place usually has open tables at all times. A perfect choice on nights when Valencia street is too crowded and you need a last minute option.”
“Hidden gem for amazing food. Cuisine is primarily Peruvian but also has dishes from other South American countries. Prices are slightly higher but portion sizes are actually big so it evens out. Highly recommend the Mariscada and the Baja fish tacos.
If you haven’t tried Chicmorada, great place to try it as well. Very close to the original we had in Peru”
“This place has amazing and authentic Cuban style food and drinks. the pastries are made in house and are world class. the customer service is stellar. the amazing flavors of the food will bring you back, over and over. #cuba”
“Dacha is clean, friendly, & welcoming!”
“I highly recommend Mashallah Halal if you are looking for quality Lamb Curry✌🏾”
“Its one of the best places where i am currently having best mango sago , it has the best mango flavor, small granular yummy coconut taste… i just couldnt resist myself to write the review while having it ☺️💛”
“It’s a great place to meet friends for fun food and have a glass of wine… it has a cozy interior or you can sit out on Dolores sidewalk and enjoy the lovely neighborhood. The owner and his wife make make you feel relaxed and welcome. It’s also a great date spot and the tables are set up for comfort or intimacy if you prefer- it also offers food to go! Most people who try it want to return!”
“Convenient location in the heart of the city. Fantastic, Involved and Caring owners. Quality Product, would definitely recommend.”
“Super yummy warm treats and coffee”
“Lily and her family make a great team. Very friendly bar, with good service and generous measures of drinks at very reasonable prices. Luckily we were staying just down Post so it quickly became our go-to bar during our short stay in SF. Lovely chicken wings too. Thanks for a great time. And a lovely fluffy cat to boot !!”
“This food is absolutely delicious, I ordered the truck for a company outing and the owner was so kind and responsive - but wow, this food was so good I dreamt of it and my mouth watered the next morning. I was staying by sfo to fly out, decided to go back onetime before my flight - real fresh, real delicious. Can’t go wrong , I could eat here daily.”
“Best vegan meal I’ve ever had, went twice in a four days it was that good ❤️”
“Outstanding food and service here. Great atmosphere and nice decor. Sephiscated bar with variety of wine selections and table service matini. Lunch menu from $65 per person. Love the seasonal white truffle pasta. Its homemade pasta here. We will be back next time to try other dishes.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“An absolute SF classic that lives up to the hype! The English cut prime rib was perfectly aged, tender, and juicy, spun tableside from the silver dome cart—pure theater. Loved the Yorkshire pudding, creamed spinach, and that massive baked potato. Cocktails are strong and old-school. The retro vibe with white tablecloths feels like stepping back in time. Reservations essential, but it's worth it for a special occasion meat-lover's feast.”
“I went to KEN for my birthday and it was absolutely phenomenal. The fish was delicious; so many new flavors and combinations; the chef was superb - talented and entertaining, with great attention to detail. The service was impeccable. I cannot say enough good things!”
“My friend, Mike, who lives nearby with his wife, raved about it so much that my BF and I decided to come after a short trip to Marin. It was everything that he described and more. It was fantastic! Excellent food and atmosphere. Will definitely add to my list of favorites and will recommend to my Palo Alto friends!”
“Randomly stopped by this place. Just to get Miso and couldn’t stop ourselves and ordered some sushi.. Food and atmosphere were amazing!! I believe somebody heard that is my birthday and brought for me ice cream!! It’s was cherry on top! Definitely coming back!!! 💗💗💗💗💗🥳🌸”

“Quintessential experience of culture, top quality authentic food, and a staple. If there’s a place I’d want to help carry San Francisco culture this is one of them. So lucky for it and you’ll multiple returns to try different taco, burritos, and their great aqua Fresca. Got their mangoes and it hit the spot”

“We had a light dinner and drinks at the bar. Cocktails were well crafted, we got the dips and a couple other sides which were incredible. Definitely a great place to relax, have a good conversation, and great food.”
“Welcome to heaven on earth. SF local and either best resturant I've ever been at or tied for first with Han Il Kwan II. Ridiculous quality and exceptional taste. Highly reccomend.”
“Wow, what a great restaurant. As soon as we walked in we were greeted kindly by the hostess. She was so sweet and even checked in on us during dinner. Our server Joselyn was very helpful and attentive. She helped steer us in the right direction of what to order since everything on the menu looked delicious. The food was outstanding. The portions aren't super big but perfect which allowed us to order a few entrees. We started with the pan seared brussel sprouts, stuffed calamari, & roasted baby carrots. We then ordered the ricotta strangulet, pumpkin caramelle, braised short rib cappellacci, and the drunken mafaldine. Wow, everything was truly amazing and cooked to perfection. We didn't have room for dessert but our bill came with a tiny assortment of cookies which was the perfect way to end our meal. Thank you Sorrella, we will definitely be back to enjoy your amazing cuisine.”

“Truly enjoyed our dinner here. We ordered one additional dish alongside the fixed course, and every single plate was delicious and beautifully presented. I especially loved the variety of ingredients—particularly the vegetables, many of which were new to me and incredibly fresh. The flavors, atmosphere, and service were all excellent, and the price was very reasonable for the quality offered. Highly recommend!”

“Excellent! This is my fav restaurant in San Francisco recommended by friends. My husband and I went and everything was incredible. Amy was lovely and so was our waiter (I wish I asked her name!) They accommodated a seed oil allergy as well as no sugar. Felt so taken care of. Loved everything we had — steak, halibut, cabbage, duck liver, etc. Hats off to the chef. I hope one day they will brine the duck w honey so I can have it because it looks divine. If you come to San Francisco, The Morris is a must!”

“Really great spot with delicious and healthy options. I went for the mixed grill, and the portions were generous and satisfying. The Seedlip non-alcoholic drinks were an unexpected and delightful surprise!”
“Exceeded expectations. The concord grape shaved ice was probably the best dessert I've ever had in my life. Other highlights were the savory flan, rockfish taco, and uni mole. Staff were delightful to boot.”

“Needed to pick up a quick dessert after enjoying the most amazing pizza a few doors down at Outta Sight. Gateway drew us in with their stacks of pink donut boxes--an immediate sign that this is a legit donut place. Our go-tos: blueberry and crunch which were immediately recognizable in the glass case. The lady behind register was very friendly and before we could assume it was cash only, she brought the POS out for us to tap and go. Gotta love it when a humble mom & pop keeps up w/tech. One excited bite out of each donut and we knew that Gateway would be our fav shop in the city. These donuts are AMAZING. They're fresh but more interestingly, they're sweet without being sickening (think opposite spectrum of a Krispy Kreme). I'm sure there's some kind of sorcery involved behind the recipe, but whatever they're doing is incredible. Even the small detail like the blueberry colored dough inside the donut is testament to their special touch. By the way, 2 donuts only cost us $3.75! What a deal.”
“CJ and team are excellent. The commissary is well maintained with all the equipment you'd need and if they don't have something they are open to working with you to figure out a solution. Super helpful staff and overall good people that you're sharing the space with. Would definitely recommend if you have a food business and need a licensed commercial kitchen. The staff are responsive and action-oriented which feels essential when working in a shared space.”
“Truly authentic Calabrese style Italian cuisine takes us back to Nonna’s kitchen”
Takeout Restaurants
“Went to Popi’s for the first time for HH. Awesome food / drink options for a very reasonable price. Quick, friendly service, delicious snacks on the HH menu (oysters, mussels, and baby fried shrimp sandos). Got some bread and butter to dip the bread in the mussel broth. Sat outside on a beautiful (but windy) day. Highly recommend!”
“this is the best lobster roll i’ve ever had in my entire life. such meaty and buttery pieces. got the truffle butter and it was so amazing. please open one of these in toronto i am begging you i will eat there every day! the staff was so kind and cool. i don’t like the chairs but otherwise everything was perfect!”
“I have been twice and so far everything has been delicious. I need to go back a few more times to try everything on the menu. Don't forget to save room for dessert. The cocktails are fantastic.”
“Everything we ordered was good. In fact we couldn’t eat it all. Your pizza was so delish! Never had chow fun wrapped up in little rolls but it was pretty good. Your shaking beef salad was good too. Definitely a dining experience in Asian fusion!”
“The usual wait time is 20-30mins always but if you go solo or as a group of 2 then wait time is ~10mins. I got the classic I think it was a solid choice but the lamb one because of the broth was so much better.

“Intimate and cozy bar with an excellent wine and beer selection. The interior is gorgeous but small, dominated by the bar. The walls look like they’re made of green velvet but it’s actually concrete. The service was friendly, and they made to sure to keep our glasses full. The food is from Ernest, which was a treat. The bread is from Rize Up Bakery and highly recommended with the wine.”
“I quit drinking before the judge ordered me to—how is that for initiative? Since that last call, no bar has captured my attention. Nor have I returned to any of the bars I enjoyed around here. I’m from the east coast—a pub near a rail station which draws a crowd free of pretense is proper nurture. Glen Park Station is welcoming, comfortable, fun, and built for a night done right.
There are non-alcoholic brews for those who abstain, shot-and-a-beer specials for $12.00, wine by the glass, and an indoor smoking lounge. A pinball machine which takes dollar bills. Darts. Superior bar stools. Table seating up front. A rear patio. No Apple Pay.The bar has neighboring businesses which serve food. One can find Vietnamese, Thai, and Mexican fare within a block. The bodega sits across from BART, on the same side of Diamond St. A pizza place is in proximity. This area has a low-key dominance about it. A great spot for socializing, a walkable pocket of the city wherein small businesses sling good eats, and you have the option to get hammered.
Parking is available in the public library lot after 6, 7, 8PM during the week. Street parking on the northbound lane of Bosworth between Arlington & Diamond is free in the evenings. I am not sure when the meters stop accepting payment-I pulled up at 7:30PM on a Monday.
To those behind the wheel—be advised—residential streets intersect as sharp turns become sudden hills. At all hours there are pedestrians, cyclists, and coyotes. SFPD often posts a patrol vehicle on Bosworth (south of the Arlington intersection) to eyeball the I-280 south on-ramp.”
“An absolute must-stop if you’re anywhere near Inner Sunset. Also totally worth it if you have go an hour out of your way.
Sourdough croissants! Brilliant. Flawless scones that are delightful crunchy and melt-away all at once. Memorable savory breadsticks and focaccia, perfect coffee-cake, cookies and exceptional bread loaves with daily changing variations that are, literally, all listed on a monthly calendar on the website.
Enjoy.”
“I recently celebrated my birthday at Kiln SF, and it was truly unforgettable. We indulged in their 20-course tasting menu, which was a culinary journey from start to finish. Each course was beautifully presented, thoughtfully explained, and absolutely delicious; an experience that went far beyond just a meal.
What really stood out was the level of detail and personalization. At the end of the evening, the staff surprised me with a Polaroid photo of my husband and I, and a customized menu with our name’s and celebration printed on it. It felt so special and added such a personal touch to the celebration.
The atmosphere was intimate yet lively, with Kendrick Lamar, Mac Miller, Kid Cudi, and similar artists playing softly in the background, creating such a cool and personal vibe that elevated the entire evening. The service was impeccable, and every bite showcased the creativity and passion of the kitchen. Kiln SF exceeded all expectations and made my birthday feel incredibly memorable.
Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for an extraordinary dining experience in San Francisco!
Thanks again, Kiln! 🎉🥂”
“San Francisco Wine Society was outstanding. Danielle was incredibly responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in our event’s success. She anticipated what we needed—offering full event guidance and clear communication every step of the way.
Even though I was managing the event remotely, Danielle made the process seamless. She was hands-on, detail-oriented, and ensured everything came together flawlessly. As an event manager, it’s rare to find a venue contact you can trust completely—but she made it effortless.
This was our second year hosting with San Francisco Wine Society, and they once again exceeded expectations. I was able to plan the event quickly thanks to the responsiveness. I can’t recommend this venue enough for anyone looking for a high-touch, dependable, and truly exceptional partner in San Francisco.”
“Great leisurely lunch with girlfriends. Staff was friendly attentive. The butternut squash ravioli was to die for! Nice ambiance (we sat outside). Enjoyed!”
Fine Dining
“7 Adams is a great restaurant for European cuisine suitable for any occasions. It is a little bit tightly seated but the crowd wasn’t too loud. Staff were friendly and attentive. Food is well proportioned and balanced. Pacing of food is perfect. Never a moment did I feel like I was hanging and bored. My favorite dish is the halibut, which was tender and goes really well with the sauce. Dessert was just ok but I am not a dessert person anyways.”
“Truly outstanding meal. The eel wrapped in smoked sea grass was amongst the best bites I have ever eaten, but pretty much every bite on the menu was excellent. The service was also great - no attitude, very friendly, and super knowledgeable. They gave us a great wine suggestion within our price range which was not something I would have found on my own but was perfect for the meal. This is one of those meals that we will think back on fondly for a long time.”
“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!”
“Have been here a few times now, and Tiya has been consistent with the quality of food and service. I ended up taking their tasting menu everytime so can only comment to those .. and they never disappointment. Being a person of Indian origin, I must say that they have done justice to the flavours of India... a modern take on traditional flavours while maintaining the true essence.”
“The best omakase and multi-course dinner I’ve ever had. We came to celebrate our anniversary here and a great time. The atmosphere was perfect and the food/fish were literally hands down the best I’ve ever had. If you want high quality omakase where every bite is the perfect blend and diversity of textures and flavors you must go here.”
“A great way to experience a four course meal at an affordable price, with delicious food. We will definitely be back.”
“My friend, Mike, who lives nearby with his wife, raved about it so much that my BF and I decided to come after a short trip to Marin. It was everything that he described and more. It was fantastic! Excellent food and atmosphere. Will definitely add to my list of favorites and will recommend to my Palo Alto friends!”
Cheap Eats
“Food were great and delicious. I had the food delivered to my place. Everything was great except for the delivery person was half an hour late. I don’t feel it should be mandatory to automatically give 20% tips if I’m not sure if my delivery person is coming on time. Doordash tend to make other stops.”
“A very cozy place in the financial district. Even though we went on a weekend, there were still a lot of people working there. Their pour over coffee is reasonably priced and they also provide coffee beans in the shop. I like the paintings they have inside. The coffee also comes with a postcard telling us where the coffee beans come from and the history, which I think is very nice. If you like coffee, I recommend giving this place a try.”
“A great place to sample authentic Sardinian cuisine and wines. The quarters are relatively tight and the noise level commensurate, but nevertheless a very enjoyable experience.”
“The view is comfortable and the dishes are exquisite. It is highly recommended.”
“Definitely not your typical brunch. We loved the Filipino inspired creations. Don’t skip the French toast with caviar hollandaise, crumbled bacon, and shrimp. It’s AMAZING!”
“Best bagels in town and it’s not even close. Staff is super friendly, service is quick, and it smells like heaven in there. It’s a rip’n’dip situation, which is now my preferred method of eating bagels”
“Excellent food! The prix fixed tasting menu was very generous and delicious. We were stuffed!”
“Amazing food, attentive and knowledgable service made for a memorable first night in San Francisco!!!!”
“Holy moly, this place was great! The food is tasty & beautifully served. The service was great & Hannah made terrific suggestions. Really well done!”
“Really clean, cute space. Staff is amazing. Hard to find a true local and well run place to eat. Prices are fine, clearly not cheap but the food and experience reflects it. Food was amazing. Literally best quiche I’ve ever had. It was perfect and plenty. Will be back with a date. Perfect spot for this. Lively, interesting but not loud and obnoxious.”
“Loved the decor and the vibe,great place to hang out with friends.The food was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot on.If you're in the area, this place is a must-try!”
“The service is always amazing and the food is great. It is one of my favorite neighborhood spots and it's so nice to have family owned spots on divisadero.
You'll quickly become a regular and be happy you are. You'll enjoy anything on the menu!”

“Exceptional fine dining experience! Attentive knowledgeable owner, chef, and staff. Amazing cocktails and well prepared French food.”
“It had been at least a decade if not longer since I last visited Zuni Cafe and it felt just as it did all those years ago in the best way possible! Lovely ambience as always and great service. I raved about the chicken for months to my kids and although the bread salad was perfect, the chicken served was quite dry. Aside from that, we enjoyed a lovely afternoon at Zuni”
“The service was amazing, rhe server is soo nice and attentive. The pizza was good, crispy thin crust, sauce had a soft taste pretty good, the ingredients were really fresh and tasty!”
“Smugglers cove is the cutest tiki bar! Beautiful decor
What a drink menu, it’s so good! Many cocktails to choose from and the bartenders are phenomenal. The drinks here are an art form and the presentation was excellent
Sat with our group in lower level it was pretty warm in there!
Must stop if you in the area!”

“I’m here for business from Canada. Was taken here for supper by a coworker. The quaintest little restaurant, the owner and his wife are just awesome. The food is gorgeous! And his limoncello is the best I’ve ever had. Will be going back before I head home. ❤️❤️❤️”
“Great service, food, and drinks!
Let me just start by saying anchovies are not my favorite fish. However the anchovy bar has absolutely changed my opinion.
We started with the oysters, they had three varieties available so we tried each type, I didn't realize how different they could be.
The pinxos where prepared with the anchovies I am familiar with, but the olive and peppers told a nice little story.
Next, I had to try the anchovy toast. When they set it on the table I saw a thick slice of bread topped with shimmering anchovies. The first bite made me realize I was eating something special. An absolute umami dream.
I asked our server about the preparation of the anchovies and found out the anchovies were locally caught and cured in house, but the real trick is they needed to start the curing process within 3 hours of the catch to preserve the pristine flavor.
You should also order the warm foccacia with butter and garum salt.
Don't skip the anchovy toast!!”
“fantastic little restaurant - excellent wine list and great beef bourgogne”
“The pork chops are above world-class!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I'll be back.”
“My fiancé and I found your restaurant Saturday afternoon while sightseeing the city. We were so impressed with the atmosphere and hospitality. This place is the best for nice afternoon seafood lunch! Thank you so much for the delicious meal.”
“Every time I book with Open Table, I list my allergies (numerous) but it's generally hit or miss whether anyone actually reads it ahead of our arrival or acknowledges it when we check in. Not so at Taksim! 5* just for the level of seriousness and attention they paid to making sure I knew exactly what was in each dish, what I could/couldn't eat. They had even looked at possible cross contamination on labels. That level of service is extraordinary and shows how important their level of customer service is! Food was excellent. Fun place. Definitely a keeper.”
“Takes reservation. Outdoor dining. Heat lamps. Fast service. Food was very tasty and reasonably priced.”

“I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. I am a business owner a few doors down and I wandered in with a friend after work one night about a month ago. We were met with such incredible warmth from the staff and the environment itself, even without a reservation. We sat at the bar and were greeted by Josh, only to find out later that he is the owner. He made excellent recommendations on everything from our drinks to dessert. The bar didn’t feel isolated from the rest of the restaurant and guests, but rather was lively hub frequented by kitchen and serving staff and warmed by a smoldering wood fire. The coziest. We swooned for the poke appetizer, complete with house-made toasted, but not crisp, blue corn tortillas. The pork shoulder tacos—also to die for. I have to say though, that the star on the sidelines was the beans. I honestly didn’t know I could feel this way about beans…but I digress. Josh bounced around from table to table all night, never letting a single ball drop, making every guest feel like *his* guest. A pot de crème sealed the evening in perfect bliss. I’m back a month later with the same friend, eating different and somehow even more incredible entrees: ribeye, halibut and a rhubarb crisp for dessert. I scarcely ever take the time to write a review as I prefer to vote with my $ and my feet, but I simply couldn’t eat here again without taking the time to sing it’s praises. Eat here.”
“Anchor Oyster Bar is an icon in San Francisco in the heart of the Castro neighborhood. While their hours and space are limited, it's well worth the wait. The seafood selection is top quality and service is friendly & professional. I love the open kitchen with aromas that make you salvage.”
“I cannot say I had a bad experience. Everything was my favorite”

“Lee C was our bartender and so dang hospitable! Nice seating area and excellent bar of choice during flight delays. Tvs full bar kolsch beir! The bartender is what got us to have another just so friendly & professional”
“Best craft brewery in SF. If you've never tried the Coffee & Cigarettes Smoked Porter, it's a must. My other fav is the Dank of the West IPA that makes an occasional appearance throughout the year. The Detroit style square pizza is awesome too.”
“Service was lax but it didnt take away from the spectacular food. Bring 3-6 friends and chow down on their most popular dish. Make sure to add extra rice cakes and cheese on top!”
“Watermelon 🍉 Roll; no rice, refreshingly good Fried seafood chips appetizer; I wanted it as a meal it’s a different yum 😋 Ice cream sandwich wow!”
“Food quality is consistently great. Prawn biryani, garlic naan, and mango chutney together felt like dream combination. Staff made sure everything was smooth, water glasses never empty.”
“A small pleasant restaurant with excellent Tunisian/Mediterranean food. The tagines are excellent as well as some of the more unusual dishes. While not extensive, the wine listing is interesting and well-priced.”
“Wonderful restaurant, Absolutely outstanding experience! This Chinese roast duck restaurant delivers perfection in every detail. The duck is incredibly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and carved with impressive skill right at the table. The flavors are rich but never greasy, and the accompanying pancakes, scallions, and sauces are all beautifully balanced.
The service is warm, attentive, and efficient, and the staff make you feel truly welcome. The atmosphere is elegant yet comfortable—perfect for both family gatherings and special occasions.”
“Excellent food and service. My friends from NYC enjoyed their dinners as well. Will definitely be back!”

“Just incredible Korean contemporary fusion cuisine. Kept the fundamentals of the Korean authenticity with unique broad appealing western gastronomic desires. Well done!!!👍”
“I went there for brunch and I totally recommend it. Be mindful you will have to queue outside, but if that doesn’t stop you, you will enjoy one of the best brunches I’ve had in town.
We ordered the cdmx and the special of the day. They were both really good and filling.
If they have agua fresca de mango, order it. It is delicious!!”

“We stop Here every time we go through San Francisco. Their coffee is marvelous and the pastries we have tried are delicious. The atmosphere is definitely San Francisco neighborhood welcoming and the mural Inside reminds me of an Italian village. Don’t miss this stop.”
“This place was one of the best highlights of our trip!! Real Italian food. The owners were real gentlemen. The way that they worked that restaurant was amazing. I was amazed by their food and service, both authentic. My friend and I had the best time. We would go again and again!”
“First this is a great mom and pop restaurant, good portions, lot of variety. Second, reading reviews, don't you think it a bit suspicious when exact same review word for word with different people even months or a few years apart? Some of the review is ok but the one about being next door to the Hilton is not here.”
“One65 was an amazing discovery on our trip to San Francisco. Having spent the first half of our life in Montréal, Québec, Canada where it was hard to find a bad restaurant, we were absolutely amazed by this Bistro which looks more like a high end dining experience. The menu online & the photos attracted us to this location but we were amazed by the well timed service, the crisp white tablecloths, the table setting and the pleasant and calm atmosphere. My choices of charcuterie platter was perfectly sized; the chicken & the pork rillettes where a wonderful surprise. My husband had an onion tart with the crust as perfect as they get & which I envied. He loved his halibut, moist and tender and I raved over my grilled half lobster, so tender that I found myself munching on the shell parts as well. My bread pudding was not of overwhelming size & perfectly flavored. Don chose the Affogato (scoop of vanilla gelato « drowned » with a shot of hot espresso). We wanted to go back today but they are closed on Sundays.?”
“Lily and her family make a great team. Very friendly bar, with good service and generous measures of drinks at very reasonable prices. Luckily we were staying just down Post so it quickly became our go-to bar during our short stay in SF. Lovely chicken wings too. Thanks for a great time. And a lovely fluffy cat to boot !!”

“Excellent food, clearly popular with tech conference goers (so crowded, trendy and loud), service was mostly great (watch out on food allergies), beautiful setting, classic SF elevated dining experience. Oysters were really good and fresh; our table had the swordfish, blackened cod and risotto - all excellent. We brought our own wine which once they figured out what it was they offered to decant it - all and all a really nice meal. The one watch out is we had someone allergic to gluten and another to dairy which we pointed out multiple times and they still brought us a dish that had diary - had to ask again to have it removed - once pointed out they quickly fixed it and verified everything was okay - but we really should not have had to ask a second or third time and then ask for an item to be removed from the table.”
“Palms Court absolutely delivered. Best steak and sweet potato I’ve ever had — cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The Banana Split Sundae afterward was the perfect finish, and the latte was excellent as well.
Our server, Geovanni, was professional, attentive, and very responsive without being intrusive. Service was smooth from start to finish.
Great food, great service, and a classic steakhouse feel. I’ll definitely be back”
“We always reserve a table for lunch when we're in San Francisco. It never disappoints. Our server, Dhan (forgive me if I didn't get that right!!), was remarkable. Kind and funny, and very attentive to the food sensitivities in our group. We often start with a glass of champagne but this visit we changed it up with mocktails. The salads were delicious and the buttery lettuces were beautiful on the plate. My family went for Rotunda's famous warm chocolate chip cookies for dessert, but I ordered the strawberry sorbet, it tasted like fresh picked berries and was a blast of summer tho it was cool in the city. Plan ahead, they really can get booked up.”

“The coffee here is amazing and it’s a great place to work. They source directly from Columbian farmers and there’s an option to send tips directly to farmers. A latte is $6.50, and they have some interesting syrups you can add on (banana, maple, blueberry, etc.).”
“An incredibly creative chef. This was genuinely some of the best food I’ve ever tasted. Every dish was a symphony of flavors, beautifully balanced and unforgettable. The food and the mocktails were both exceptional. I recommend this place to absolutely everyone, vegan or not. It’s truly a standout experience.
The service and ambience were also great.”
“I definitely recommend this place because of the great original taste and quality of the tatar national cusine!
I'm originally from Kazan, Tartarstan Republic, and the the food serving here, remind me about my homeland and my grandmother's home-made pastries. 😌💛
Don't pass and check AyDea's amazing ochpochmak serving with broth and salad; pelmeni, and herbal tea! We'll definitely taste other delicious tatar food here next time!
Thank you for the warm welcoming us here and your care about guests by the people who work here and who appreciate snd love Tatar cuisine and culture.❤️
*Children tatar books were a special surprise to remember reading on tatar language!
🅿️ We found 2 city public parkings marked with blue signs on the street: on the same intersection and 3 block away, cheap and close to the cafe.”
“Headed in today for pizza and a beer after hearing great reviews. Neat little gem. My kind of place. Pizza is incredible. Reminds me of back East growing up in NJ/NY Philly area. Closest pizza I have to back home. Beer selection on draft and in bottle is also incredible. I def will be going back. I wish I found this place sooner as I live in neighborhood (3 years now) Only thing I would change is making it more known in neighborhood. I’ve walked past this place 100 times and had no idea it was a bar with awesome beers and INCREDIBLE pizza. From the outside u have no idea. I only found out from great reviews online. DEFINITELY TELL A FRIEND/FAMILY. Check it out for sure”
“So glad to know that our favorite Hong Kong style noodle place is back at the same location as the late Beyond Cafe with apparently the same chef but new owners and an expanded menu! Their wonton noodle soup (exquisitely complex broth with taste of dried scallops, springy noodles, and perfect wontons with juicy ground pork and plump shrimp) and spicy beef brisket noodle soup (tender chunks of gelatinous beef in a nicely balanced spicy beef broth and springy noodles) are so good it will be difficult to try other delicious looking offerings on the new menu!”

“An absolute SF classic that lives up to the hype! The English cut prime rib was perfectly aged, tender, and juicy, spun tableside from the silver dome cart—pure theater. Loved the Yorkshire pudding, creamed spinach, and that massive baked potato. Cocktails are strong and old-school. The retro vibe with white tablecloths feels like stepping back in time. Reservations essential, but it's worth it for a special occasion meat-lover's feast.”
