ESSI SF Restaurant & Wine Bar

Excellent service

Great place for wine and charcuterie. Lobster Mac is off the hook! Ya gotta have it!

One of the few places in the Marina I actually enjoy! Very nice and classy wine bar, never super crowded or filled with young 20-somethings. Great date spot and can be extra fun late at night. Iykyk

Best spot on Steiner st.!

I love Essi one of my favorite in San Francisco for sure!

Fun for a glass of wine or two on the weekend. It's a bit on the spendy side, so better for a chill night.

Love this place! The spinach salad with strawberries was amazing. Good wine. Staff very attentive and friendly. Will definitely go back.

Blown away by the service! I didn't know what drink I wanted, explained some of my preferences, and was given a great wine. Food was fun, delicious, and easy to share. I am definitely coming back for more!

Awesome service. Olivier is the best.

Great local wine bar!

A friend -and I showed up looking for a table. The 2 host weren’t friendly at at All, bad customer service. We never heard or told “let me see what I can do” literally “here is your wine, a plastic cup good bye”They were totally rude.We were gonna spend money.Not a good experience at all. We ended up at Westwood across from Balboa Café.Total positive experience.

Approached the wine bar looking for a cocktail, to then be greeted by a man who told us that everyone serves food if they serve hard alcohol, and that we should grab a few glasses of wine here instead and not have to order food. The waiter proceeded to insist on us ordering food (even mentioning the first interaction). Was just annoying and rude. Then, he proceeds to tell us that they only have a menu for food, mentioned 25% wine, so we ordered wine to then find out at our bill that each glass was $16. Overall such a cute spot but terrible service and steep prices.

I am so glad to find this restaurant during this challenging times. I loved the pizza and pasta choices they had on the menu. Adding to that, I really liked drinks that I had. The staff is friendly and the patio-dining area was nicely decorated and it reminded me of being in Italy.

Cannot recommend the pasta enough. I got the papardelle and it was the best one ive ever had. Friendly and courteous staff compliment the well executed meal. 100% recommended
