Typical up its own rear stuck up dining experience. Theyre so ashamed of their pricing options that they arent listed on the menu. Places like this are never worth it.

This place blew me away! Each dish was carefully designed and crafted.
We came here for my Birthday to try the amazing hot and cold soup concept, it was indeed a fantastic experience and unforgettable taste.
The menu showcased incredible creativity and precision The chef clearly knows how to elevate simple ingredients into something extraordinary. The service was impeccable, music was great, and the staff were knowledgeable and attentive.
We will be back here for holiday seasons!

We’ve been to a lot of incredible restaurants in San Francisco and around the world, but this one absolutely blew us away. For the quality and creativity of the 11-course tasting menu, the price is more than reasonable by San Francisco standards. Every dish was not just delicious, but beautifully balanced between spice, salt, and texture in a way that felt almost magical. The vegetables stood out the most—they were done with such incredible skill and finesse that I actually looked up the chef mid-meal. Chef Mike Lanham, who not only crafted these amazing dishes but was also part of the service, created such a welcoming and personal vibe that it felt more like being in a friend’s kitchen than in a high-end restaurant. There’s flavor, there’s thought, and there’s heart in every course.
The service was amazing as well! Well done!!

Anomaly is this super cool spot in San Francisco where they serve some seriously mind-blowing food. It's like a culinary adventure where every dish is a surprise. They take these weird flavor combos and make them taste amazing.

This place was an "almost" for me... The chef likes to experiment and it's clear they aim high, but the menu feels disconnected. Some dishes are incredible, like the parmesan pea flowers starter or the soup with the sumac dry ice bits, while some are a miss in my book (for me it was unfortunately all the desserts)... Dishes like the shrimp and grits got completely overpowered by the spicy slice of Jalapeno they included in it. That said, there's clearly a lot of thought and effort going into the ingredients and combinations, so I'll likely be back to give it another chance.

Easily the best dining experience I've had since being back home in the Bay Area. Anomaly and the team are a Gem. I loved every second of my experience. Chef Mike and the other chefs made several stops at tables and introduced the plates. They all have such great personalities and their energy brought a lot of light to the atmosphere. I almost overdosed on toast and caviar and was close to tapping out by course 4. The little toast for the caviar was ???. I ordered so many extras. The staff was spot on and gave great service despite catering to every need imaginable. I can't wait to go here again.
Definitely top 3 on my fine dining list .

Under-rated, elevated yet unpretentious five star tasting menu. I am always shocked when I find it easy to get a reservation at this hidden gem. Perfect for an intimate dinner - date night, catching up with a long-time friend. The whole experience lives up to the name. Prepare to have all of your senses titillated, and thoughts provoked as you delight in the surprises the chefs have built into the atmosphere, attention to detail and connection throughout the evening. I committed to taking some photos this time because I wanted to leave a helpful review but most of the evening I enjoyed being immersed in the moment.

Ridiculously amazing food, experience, and staff. The food had all the complexities, care, and novel ingredients/preparation expected but then also tasted so. darn. good. Everything on the supplements menu is a must and I wouldn't share =D.
The food experience, ambiance, and Chef Mike's introduction of each course is fun. I surprisingly left full. Anomaly might be my new go-to place for treating friends and I'll definitely be back to check out the new menus.
Dietary restrictions: They adjusted the menu for my shellfish allergies.

An unforgettable culinary adventure with extravagant presentation and locally sourced ingredients from the PNW (pork was from Carlton Farms). The service was meticulously organized, and the service flow of this 11-course meal was unforgettable.
The care the staff was taking was beautiful to witness. The creative dishes were wonderful, and the flavor profiles worked together harmoniously.
