Fine Dining Restaurants in San Francisco, CA

“Holy Schnike!!! The food is incredibly delicious, the non-seafood versions I am getting are the most amazing tastes. The Wines paired with the dishes are inspired and spot on.“

“The view is comfortable and the dishes are exquisite. It is highly recommended.“

“This incredible place offers an unforgettable dining experience from the moment you step inside. The food was simply exceptional, and the wine pairing was absolutely amazing. Friendly advice: skip lunch before going to dinner here, as you’ll be so full, unlike other places where you leave hungry. Highly recommend this place.“

“What a treat! Highly recommend“

“Tasting menu was tailored for the 4 vegetarians/pescatarians out of 5 in our group. Each item was very tasty and we enjoyed to the last bite. Servers were very professional and knew their stuff. Since we were there for our anniversary, we received a card from them which basically thanked us for making them part of our celebration. Classy touch!“

“Choosing the chef’s counter at 7 Adams for my best friend’s birthday turned out to be the best decision, and it easily rivaled—if not surpassed—many two-star Michelin spots I’ve experienced.

From the start, the hospitality was exceptional; Restaurant manager Danny thoughtfully reached out beforehand to check on dietary restrictions. That attentiveness set the tone for the evening, where we were warmly welcomed the moment we stepped in.

Every course showcased remarkable palate precision, featuring innovative, unexpected flavor profiles that kept us captivated. To top it off, the portions were refreshingly generous—so much so that we couldn't quite finish dessert, though Paul kindly boxed it up for us with care.

An incredible meal from start to finish. I am already excited to return!

“Had such an amazing dinner here! Every single aspect of the evening was so thoughtful and well done. The service was exceptional, and the food was somehow even better. We had a party of 4 people, with two of them celebrating getting engaged recently. There was no shortage of congratulations, making them feel so special! There were quite a few customized little pieces such as the menu and the polaroid photos at the end of the meal, which was super neat! If you’re in the Bay Area (or beyond, as we travelled from Vancouver, BC) I would urge you to eat here and treat yourself to one of the best dining experiences that you will find anywhere in North America (and likely beyond)! So so so worth it!“

“Amazing dining experience. Worth the price“

“Rich dishes, very delicious“

“The best Korean fried chicken!!“

“Two thumbs up . Best Steak EVER“

“An exceptional dining experience“

“We had shrimp cocktail, French onion soup, wedge salad, 20 oz ribeye with a baked potato, and a banoffee tart for dessert. We split each course and the waitstaff had the chef plate it all separately for us which made sharing easier.“

“Fantastic experience at Bix. Great service, amazing atmosphere and delicious food.😋“

“Some of the top dishes were the small delicacies goose barnacles (more because of their rarity; the taste was a bit chewy but still interesting), bread, and soft shell crab; pheasant; charcoal-grilled black pork; double-boiled quail soup; and almond feather cake. Really nice pairings. Exquisitely timed service. Some of my less favorite dishes included the caviar-stuffed tomato small delicacy (more just because I'm not always a tomato fan), abalone (again, not necessarily due to its quality, but I'm not a fan of its chewy firm texture), quail (maybe I was full by the time of this dish, but I just didn't find it all that seasoned or appetizing except the soup version). I don't understand the extreme minimalist decor/ambiance. Certainly it forces a focus on the food, but it seems like the decor could be a bit more elegant and matched to the cuisine. Overall, I had to give it a 5/5 due to the service and unique tastings! Thank you Benu!“

“Quince is an absolute gem; not only is the quality of service and food impeccable; but this restaurant is also not pretentious, warm, friendly, and family-oriented; a juxtaposition hard to find in the Michelin star industry. They have accommodated me on short notice twice. This has truly earned its 3 star rating. Notable mention to Jared“

“I’ve been coming here for years to meet w/family & friends to celebrate or anytime just because or to unwind in the comfy lounge & experience MKT Bar’s excellent service you find in a Four Seasons & the drinks are simply the best! Today was my daughter’s boyfriend’s 1st time here & he understood 💯 why we love MKT Bar & he is an awesome bartender!“

“Fine-dining meal for $19!!This is a wonderful little restaurant, on the fourth floor of Burk Hall, that's only open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays currently. You should make a reservation on Yelp, but I think they allow walk-ins. There's a prix fix option, which is just under $20.50 after tax. You get to choose an appetizer, entree, and dessert, and drinks. Only cash or checks are accepted.The bread provided was foccacia cut into diamond-shaped pieces. The bread that they first brought out was hard and dry, so I told them it was hard. More bread was brought out promptly and it was softer, but still dry. I didn't tell them it was dry because I didn't want to be difficult. I had some lemonade to drink, and it was pretty good. I also had tea at the end, but it was piping hot and I didn't get a chance to drink much. It was fine.I chose to have the house green salad for my appetizer. It was a good mix of leafy-greens covered in vinaigrette. It wasn't special, but good. I decided to have the pasta of the week for my entree. It was penne pasta salad with feta cheese, capers, and cooked grape tomatoes. It was absolutely delicious and I basically inhaled it. For dessert, I chose the pumpkin bundt cake. It was fantastic. It was moist, soft, a little misshapen, but still delicious. The créme anglaise was like melted ice cream, and I loved it.The waiters were students and had more to learn. Service was very good, despite mistakes. The person who seemed like an instructor was great. You won't be able to find a three-course fine-dining meal anywhere else in San Francisco for the same price. The portions are good sizes and you'll leave feeling fed, but not stuffed. I highly recommend checking this place out.

“Beautiful venue! A perfect spot to relax and enjoy a drink or small bite prior to a concert. Small but delicious selection of food including some vegan options. The banoffee pie in a jar was very tasty. The private bathrooms are clean and no line, which is in contrast to the main bathrooms. Definitely worth checking out whenever they're open!“

“Such a great restaurant! The sashimi and nigiri were especially good. You can really tell the fish is fresh and high quality. The ramen was really good too, and we also loved the agedashi tofu. Service was lovely as well. Definitely a place I’d come back to!“

“Enjoy staying here like all Taj Hotels are known for their hospitality“

“Food was just ok, I wouldn't go back for that. I'd just do drinks on the rooftop.“

“The food here is very good. I like it very much and it is worth trying.“

“We went on Valentine's Day, service and food were great. You have a 15 minute grace period for your reservation time. I witnessed a few people exceeding that time and were told they could not be accommodated but were welcome to find a seat at the bar. So make sure to plan parking ahead!“
