Food is very mediocre, not bad but certainly not worth the price. $32 burger was fine but if you want a burger just as good for less than half the price I'd recommend just crossing the street to Tempest

During a recent client gathering at Bistro 888, located within the InterContinental San Francisco, we were thoroughly impressed by the sophisticated ambiance, exceptional service, and delightful offerings. The lounge's contemporary design, with warm lighting and comfortable seating, provided an ideal setting for both relaxed conversations and professional engagements. The happy hour menu showcased a variety of artisanal cocktails and gourmet small plates. The cocktail selection was equally impressive, with unique options like the Italian Mojito and Eau De Vin, offering a refreshing twist on classic favorites. Service was attentive and knowledgeable, with staff ensuring our experience was seamless from start to finish. Bistro 888's upscale atmosphere, delectable menu, and outstanding service make it a top choice for business gatherings and social occasions. We look forward to returning and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a refined happy hour experience in San Francisco.

Outstanding server. Very professional and courteous. Though it was a lunch booking, we were not rushed. He made sure we are served with drinks and have needed time to review the menu. Both tomatoes and mushroom soups were yummy. The salad portion was generous too.

Hidden gem inside of a very nice hotel. Popped in to have a quick lunch with my wife. The burger was cooked to her perfection, I had the omelette with potatoes and was really impressed. The service was outstanding! Definitely would recommend and return.

Food was execellent, I had linguinie & clams & my girlfriend had the sole, she was so pleased as was I. Perfect for girls night out and of course service was spot on. We were not rushed and they were attentive.

Always excellent service and food! This hotel is a great place to stay, but the restaurant is also a neighborhood gem! The longtime staff are professional and friendly, and the restaurant shares a kitchen with the excellent Luce, meaning you're likely to get a great meal! Reliably great place to spend your time, funds and calorie buget?

Delightful spot for a get-together. The staff was super cool and accommodating, not to mention nice and friendly.
This is a fabulous restaurant within The Intercontinental on Howard. Bistro 888 is staffed by wonderful staff of The Intercontinental. The food shares a kitchen with the Michelin starred Luce. The staff tend to stay and remember returning guests. You can eat at the bar as an option, where you may meet both locals and travelers. The food is always delicious and reasonably priced, especially considering it's within a hotel, which often means overpriced meals. Our burger was a 10 of 10! Everything was great! We'll be back!!!

We had a good meal but not great. Salmon and fregola was adequate but nothing spectacular. The ancient grains with salmon was good but would have benefitted from an increase in basic seasoning. Fish tacos were also good but the fish was over-battered and somewhat dry. Each dish lacked something that would have made them better than okay. Service was good but the booths are somewhat small and located next to the pickup station at the bar.

Overall a good standard hotel bar. It's tucked between the primary restaurant floor and reception. The cocktail and drink menu was packed with interesting choices. Pictured is a pour of Blanton's (first time I've found it within my budget for it).

We had a delicious dinner: one of us had the salmon, the other the dorado. Highly recommend. Usually a hotel restaurant is at best mediocre, but this place was really, really good. We also had the breakfast buffet a few times. The servers were very cheery and the food was excellent.
