Great views, great food, good service. Wilbur and Yuri took very good care of us. Great non alcoholic drink was the cucumber spritz. I had two

Charming cafe tucked away at the foot of TREASURE ISLAND ! Frequented steadily by “locals/ workers” service is good, large sandwiches in baguette tricky to eat but tasty prices are moderate . No bouilliabasse On week days !

Food was meh. Drinks were good. Service was terrible. We (2 adults and 2 kids) came in around 12:45pm on a Sunday and this place was busy. The waitress told us there would be a 10 minute wait but go ahead and sit at any open table. We sat down and waited about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, we see others come in, get seated and have their orders taken before us. The hostess kept looking over but pretended like we didn’t exist. I had to get up and get our own menus and finally got our orders in after 30 minutes from one of the waiters. We then waited another 30-45 minutes as our food trickled in.
We had: - Chicken and waffles (chicken was dry. Waffles and figs were good) - Watermelon salad (good portion. Salad was soggy) - kids burger (kid said she liked it. Ketchup was good but she was also starving) - kids mac and cheese (kid said it was bland and watery. Like cafeteria food) - Matcha latte (yum) - Beer (beer is beer. Can’t go wrong)

I love the empanada with the different sauce options, the chimichurri sauce was spot on! The banana cream pancake are good too. Top off with a hibiscus refresher is ✨
It is a piece of hidden paradise. Maazing atmosphere, food and plating, service.

No free water at the Eli & Fur electronic show. I was with a large group of friends who became dehydrated drinking in the sun. We weren’t allowed to bring water into the venue. The server told me if I wanted free water, I could drink out of the garden hose or the bathroom sink.

Really delicious brunch, and I’m pretty picky about American food

Cute little cafe that should have more customers. A hidden gem on treasure iskand.
I've always enjoyed coming here for a breakfast that felt like I was not in SF. Sometimes, you just need to leave the Bay Area. Or at least feel like you have left, but actually are still in SF.
The food is consistently good, and the staff is always pleasant. The coffee is still good. Many places skimp on quality.
This is a good spot for a nice quiet meal. I hate to let everyone know because it's my secret little oasis. But fair is fair. I like it here.

If there was one thing we could have changed about our wedding, we would have gone with a different venue. Getting married at Aracely was the worst decision we made, my husband and I wish the experience hadn’t been so negative.
When my husband and I booked Aracely as our venue, it wasn’t made clear to us that the owner would be handling all the communication. Our emails consistently went unanswered for days, and forget about calling. You have to call the restaurant, which never made a difference, considering we were always told to wait for an email response. This made the planning process immensely stressful, as we never got timely responses, even to time sensitive questions.
We hoped that the communication would improve as our wedding date grew closer, and unfortunately it did not. We arranged for our rentals to be booked through the venue, and at one point were quoted almost double the price for a dance floor, compared to what was initially quoted. After questioning the owner, Linda, on this, she tried to brush off the pricing difference. Ultimately, she did honor the original price, but only after us bringing attention to this discrepancy multiple times. The dance floor was filthy from the moment that it was installed on our wedding day. We also rented turf for the outdoor area, and it had huge lines of tape in the middle. We would have been better off foregoing the rentals, the state they were in wasn’t acceptable.
During dinner on our wedding day, we were informed that the venue wouldn’t be cutting the cake, because we hadn’t paid for it. We had already asked Linda weeks before to invoice us for the cake cutting, which she failed to do. The last thing we expected was to be asked for a credit card, during the middle of our wedding. There were multiple other hiccups that occurred, both during the rehearsal, and the wedding day itself. Maria, the manager on site the day of, was doing her best, which we appreciated. It is clear that Linda fails to communicate to her staff, which creates numerous problems. Our poor coordinator was running around, and the lack of communication created fires for her to put out, that could’ve easily been avoided. The table our immediate family was sat at ended up getting served their entrées after all other tables had already finished theirs. Having to worry about all of these avoidable issues during our wedding made it very hard for us to be present during the day.
We are shocked that Aracely is still in business, with the way that we were treated during the entire process. We can’t help but think about how different, and less stressful things could have been, had we gone with a competent wedding venue. When looking back on our wedding day, we do feel a bit of sadness over some aspects, that were ruined because of Aracely. We’re leaving this review in the hopes that future couples can avoid the heartache that we feel.

Stopped by this place with my family a few days ago and we loved it. Make sure you try their empanadas, they’re delicious! That said, we had a really good time at this place, service was great and the rest of the food was also very tasty. The place is a little hidden but not impossible to find.

Absolutely horrible experience! They have no idea what they're doing or what is on their menu. Asked about important ingredients due to food allergies, and they really didn't understand what I was even talking about. The table we sat at (by the fireplace) had tiles on the top of it that were completely removed, and the bathroom had paint pealing off the walls. Would give NEGATIVE STARS, if possible!!!
