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.“

“Our experience at Californios was amazing! The food and service were exceptional. The chef and his team provided a superbly thoughtful tasting menu that beautifully showcased California ingredients while reflecting the chef's Mexican heritage. My wife and I had a wonderful time and truly appreciated the creativity and care that went into every course“

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

“What a treat! Highly recommend“

“Amazing dining experience. Worth the price“

“I have to be completely honest: I am a big girl, I love to eat, and I was honestly pretty skeptical about the small portion sizes I saw in some of the reviews before coming here. But oh my god, Kiln completely blew me away!
The food is so incredibly tasty and flavorful that every single bite is worth it. On top of the amazing dishes, the service was absolutely top-notch. They proved my doubts totally wrong, and I will definitely be coming back here. Do not let the portion sizes scare you off—the quality is 100% there!“

“The best Korean fried chicken!!“

“Two thumbs up . Best Steak EVER“

“7 Adams has a wonderful ambiance with soft lighting and tasteful decor that makes you feel relaxed right away. The service is attentive without being intrusive, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I was impressed by the extensive wine list, which offered a great selection to pair with the perfectly cooked filet mignon. The overall experience feels like a classic fine dining spot in the city. This place is perfect for a date night or a special occasion.

We came here for the bread! (-2nd time diners)

“Rich dishes, very delicious“

“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!“

“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.“

“An exceptional dining experience“

“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!“

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

“Even on an incredibly busy night, this place reminded me why I keep coming back. They were completely full—so full that they had even removed the bar stools to accommodate more guests.

Eric wasn’t there, but the manager recognized me, as did Thomas, Eric’s fellow bartender. They remembered that I love sitting at the bar and said, “Don’t worry, we know you like to sit at the bar.” They actually brought out a bar stool with a backrest just for me. That kind of personal hospitality is rare.

And the food! The vegetarian version prepared by Michael Tuck was phenomenally tasty—creative, flavorful, and absolutely memorable. Tomatoes on the Rock was an amazing version of gazpacho, with tiny tomatoes exploding with flavor in the mouth.

Thomas carried on the amazing tradition of hospitality that Eric has always provided. Great food is important, but being remembered and genuinely taken care of is what turns a restaurant into a place you want to return to again and again.

Phenomenal food, exceptional hospitality, and a team that truly understands how to make a guest feel special.“

“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!“

“Got in late and wanted some great sushi for takeout. They were quick, super friendly, and the sushi was truly amazing. Some of the best Takeaway I have had. Would highly recommend eating in or doing Takeaway. Just picking up the environment was great, and more on the laid-back side for how good the sushi was.“

“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!“

“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!“
