Dined here on a Sunday morning. I arrived right at opening time and there were already people waiting to be seated, definitely a very popular place and it soon becomes a very bustling restaurant. The views are quite nice, although it was a rainy day and I couldn't catch a glimpse of the golden gate bridge. The service is friendly and attentive and most of the options can be made vegan. I had a hearty tofu scramble with black beans which was lovely!

My sister is vegetarian and ordered a goat cheese salad which she finished in 2 bites which was about $20. I ordered the vegan apple sourdough pancakes and was not fan of the weird flavor combo. I wish they just made normal vegan pancakes at a decent price. My sister also ordered some cornbread which tasted like cardboard. Our bill came out to over $100.

We had a great time celebrating our anniversary here. The food was delicious and the service was great.

Sunday brunch at Greens was a last minute decision, but I'm so glad we tried it. We started with an iced oat milk latte and a Persimmon Spritz (Apologue Persimmon, Serene Bitter & Soda). The spritz was bittersweet goodness. We shared the fresh spring roll which was good with fresh veggies. My only complaint was the rice paper wrappers were a little on the hard side like they sat in the refrigerator. The beech mushroom side salad that accompanied the roll had a great flavor. Our favorite dish was the Potato Griddle Cakes (vegan with tofu instead of egg). We'll definitely be back for that one again. The other two stand outs were the pomegranate tomato salad that accompanied the Mesquite Grilled Tofu Skewers and the Pomegranate Tea Cake. Overall it was a great meal.

This place has a super great view of the Golden Gate Bridge from inside. The outside patio does not have a view but is comfortable and nice. It’s good that they have heaters because it gets cold out there(typical sf). Overall the food was delicious. Not as many vegan items as I would have hoped for but still tasty.
The lentil dal was delicious and the spring rolls too. The showstopper this time was the sweet potato cakes!! They were delicious especially with the special sauce that it comes with. For dessert I had the peach cobbler/cake thing and it was one of the best vegan desserts in the city I’ve had. The staff is chill too. Note that their menu changes as the seasons change because their ingredients come from a local farm.
The special soup of the days are amazing.

Incredible location and refined vegan/vegetarian food! We were impressed with everything we drank and ate here. Can’t beat the view either, and it should be the first place you go to take in the beautiful city and enjoy delicious veggies

It was a rare, hot night. You'd think it would be nice on the Bay, with a sea breeze, but the breeze was not getting into the restaurant. It was very uncomfortable, even right next to a window. It was also pretty hard to hear. It was hard to get a drink. I had to get myself water. Bc of this problem, we were not eager to hang out. However, I strongly object to the policy of allowing 1.5 hours for a party of 4. Dinner was about $350. Had the climate been nicer, I feel we should have been able to converse longer over our meal. Just sayin'!

My birthday lunch at Greens was a bit of a roller coaster ride, on a gorgeous day in SF that could have been perfect had the experience been better. The pizza was stellar, really delicious; the potato cakes needed seasoning as they were rather flat. The added sauces helped a bit but needed more personality. The cocktail was good, made me want more but at $18 for a small coupe, no thanks. The service was really disappointing. We had to flag down the server for refills of our tea, water and silverware. No checking up on us, no smile or greeting. If he was "off" that day, stay home but don't inflict your blues on customers. Dessert was a real let-down. Because it was very hot (for SF), the Pavlova was gummy and inedible. The meringue had absorbed the moisture in the air and it could not be cut so we left 80% of it on the plate. The creme anglaise, and the 4 or 5 berries (really? why so stingy?) were good. Pavlova should not have been on the menu if they could not store it in a place that would leave the meringue crispy and light. So, a so-so birthday lunch with disappointing service and inedible dessert. Good thing the day was spectacular. :o/

We had such a great time celebrating my wife's birthday at Greens. Ron was a phenomenal resource to have. He was kind, professional, and knowledgeable. He made some great recommendations related to popular menu options, ordering a reasonable amount of food, and he even greeted us with some sparkling wine to celebrate my wife's birthday. Could not say better things about the view, ambiance, service, and food at Greens. We would definitely come here all the time if we lived in SanFran.

Amazing veggie only spot. Really delicious food, flavors are awesome and interesting. Service was great, hilarious server. Cool atmosphere and tables. Great view of the water, hills, the bridge.
Thankfully, Greens is always a good choice for good food, a great environment, and a breathtaking view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Additionally, the service is knowledgeable and attentive.

Have been dining here for years. Sadly, our food was mediocre at best, and the prices were beyond outrageous. Will not be dining there again. Very disappointed as it was supposed to be a « cheer up » for a sick friend.

Arugula salad and Burrata and melon salad were excellent. The lentil special soup was good but a little too brothy for me. The pasta was excellent and the mushroom and tofu on corn cakes was good but not great. A little dry. The desserts were excellent - black sesame cream banana cream puffs were outstanding, cobbler was good just not what we expected for a cobbler. It was a biscuit surrounded by stewed fruit with a raspberry sauce on top so a little surprised. All in all a great experience and the service was outstanding!

“Mushroom and Tofu Sopes”, “Peach Blackberry Cobbler” are both the reason I eat out. The ingredients were transformed into something amazing. “Grilled corn and little gem salad” was nearly as good as the aforementioned but more subtle. The broccolini was good with umami and just the right amount of garlic and capers to remain in the background. Portions were a bit small and left me wanting more.
