Amazing experience! The whole staff was friendly and helpful. I had came in directly after a long drive from LA and the staff took amazing care of us and immediately brought us out the appetizers. The GM angel was very sweet! My waiter was amazing and the Australian guy was awesome! Thanks for an amazing experience

Finally, after 3.5 years in SF finally made it here in my last week. You will not be disappointed. The potato, lobster and soft serve were next level.

A little disappointing. We have been several times but this time was a disappointment. We went for lunch New Year's Eve. It took a long time for the champagne we ordered to arrive. They didn't seem to have any bar staff. The same happened later when we ordered wine, a long wait but it finally came with dessert. Food was good, Branzino, but didn't seem special for the price point. Not what one expects from a one Michelin star restaurant. The oysters were quite exceptional though.

Overall, the food was very average. None of the mains stood out, and the dish labeled “tempura” wasn't actually made with tempura batter-so why call it tempura at all? If you're going to borrow from another cuisine, at least execute it correctly

Angler is an awesome spot for seafood in SF. Everything tastes super fresh, and the flavors really pop. The oysters are especially good—some of the best I’ve had. Even the non-seafood items, like the bread with butter and the salad, are surprisingly tasty.
The dishes are creative but still let the seafood shine, which I really appreciate. Service is excellent—friendly, attentive, and never stuffy.
It’s definitely a high-end restaurant, but the vibe isn’t overly formal. You can relax, enjoy your meal, and just have a really good time. If you love seafood, this place is absolutely worth checking out.

Spent my husband's 55th birthday here and couldn't have picked a better place. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and celebrated. Every course was a work of art—thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and perfectly balanced in flavor. The pacing of the meal was flawless, giving us time to savor each dish without ever feeling rushed. The cocktails we ordered were delicious and elevated everything, and the team's knowledge and passion were truly impressive. What stood out most was the warm hospitality. The servers managed to strike that perfect Michelin balance: polished and professional, yet personal and heartfelt. They made the evening feel special in a way that goes far beyond great food. By the end of the night, we were both blown away. It was an unforgettable experience and a birthday celebration we'll be talking about for years. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly exceptional dining experience. Thank you Angler!!!

Really enjoyed the food and dinner experience here. The service was outstanding.
We opted for the tasting menu where the food was chosen by chef, each course arriving was a nice surprise!
The oysters were nice and fresh, the scallops were massive and tasty. The other dishes were equally tasty and well cooked.
Unsurprisingly there is a very comprehensive wine list. We had a couple of bottles of Californian white selected by the sommelier, both were really good.

The sundae and sea bream were unique, and the staff and atmosphere were very nice

We had one of our best dining experiences at The Angler. The food was so well-prepared and delicious. The staff was extremely attentive and engaging. We were very impressed by how well they worked together.

Food and service was excellent. Was a little too noisy with a weird yacht rock and 90s pop soundtrack that was a little too loud.

Overall a really lovely experience. There were some missteps we were surprised being a Michelin star'd restaurant: Didn't offer sparkling water (I had to ask to have my tap replaced), didn't offer to replace my partner's dirty napkin that was pushed aside, brought out multiple dishes while one of us was missing from the table, and lastly it took them 5 minutes to figure out which coats were ours which resulted in us missing our Waymo - the hostess didn't give us a ticket (but most Michelin restaurants I've dined at don't give a ticket they just know) and then they were very confused with how to find them ultimately having to ask us what they looked like after multiple employees inquired why we were waiting. Food was exceptional. Our server was wonderful.
