Tapas Restaurants in San Francisco, CA

“We had dinner there and the food was delicious…. The fried quail was the star. The starters were excellent. Very recommended restaurant“

“Both bartenders in Friday night were extremely excellent. Matt was great with patron interactions and I unfortunately forget the name of the other bartender on shift, but he made an excellent drink reccomendation that was an instant favourite.“

“I have been twice and so far everything has been delicious. I need to go back a few more times to try everything on the menu. Don't forget to save room for dessert. The cocktails are fantastic.“

“Excellent cocktails that everyone enjoyed.“

“Awesome awesome spot. Really incredible vibe in there and great music.

Food is clean eating and delicious, we ordered a ton and loved everything.

The mackerel, mushrooms, scallion chicken, and short rib were incredible. Got one of their highball cocktails as well which was insanely refreshing and a great balance of sweet and sour.

Highly recommend this spot! Seating is limited.“

“Excellent food! The prix fixed tasting menu was very generous and delicious. We were stuffed!“

“The food was delicious. I’ll go back for the birria tacos!“

“Really cool local bar…..the first time I ever tried Flor de Caña was from here…..all the proofs! Nice crowd, service, atmosphere, good drinks, vibe & bar bites! 👍🏿“

“This place is a must-go for a delicious and modern take on Korean cuisine. We had 3 people sharing 6 plates for dinner (4 small and 2 large) which was just enough food for dinner. The cocktails were also all great and just the right balance of flavors. The dishes that stood out the most were the sunchoke & truffle, soy glazed potatoes, and the radish kimchi fried rice.“

“A delightful neighborhood venue 😊❗️“

“What a fun place. Quirky with the whole entrance and then a classy interior. Managed to get reservations for two on Saturday afternoon for 5:30pm the same day.

Overall, the vibe and quirkiness isn't what would draw me back a second time, but the food is absolutely top shelf. Huge fan of the grilled octopus, in particular. Perfectly cooked. The sangria wasn't bad. Pretty good but not special enough that it's a necessity if you're not in the mood. Next time we'll start exploring the wine list more. The food was just too good so we'll be back again soon for the food and a bottle of wine.“

“The ingredients are very fresh, the restaurant atmosphere is very good, the service attitude of the staff is also very good, and I had a great time eating“

“Great place to relax and enjoy great food and service in Haight- Ashbury! Very welcoming -“

“Welcome to heaven on earth. SF local and either best resturant I've ever been at or tied for first with Han Il Kwan II. Ridiculous quality and exceptional taste. Highly reccomend.“

“Amazing food, one of the breakfast in the town! We tried avocado toast with salmon and breakfast croissant, and everything is so delicious.

One note about the place: we prefer to sit outside because the exhaust hood inside doesn't work well and afterwards our clothes smell like food. It would be great if this could be improved in the establishment.“

“The food is artisan caliber, the atmosphere is welcoming and intimate, and our family GOTO!! ❤❤❤❤❤“

“Very good food, wine and ambiance“

“Great place to relax and enjoy great food and service in Haight- Ashbury! Very welcoming -“

“A real gem! I’ve ordered take out here multiple times and dined in, both experiences are 5 stars.

Service staff is incredibly kind, quick and attentive. They really create a wonderful atmosphere for guests. Food is also amazing - a large menu with plenty of options and all of them delicious.“

“Fenikkusu serves some interesting dishes that you wouldn’t find at your typical Japanese restaurant. As the name says they serve tapas (ie small portion) dishes and specialize in sushi.

The mini kaisen don is the real star of the menu and is a well thought out balance of sashimi rice, aromatics and salmon roe for some brininess. The mentaiko pasta is also a really awesome dish. I would come back here for these two dishes. I also enjoyed the corn fritters and the mackerel.

I would stay away from the oxtail pot and is the main reason why I didn’t give a five star rating.“

“Excellent food as usual. The service was quite slow, especially for lunch and I noted the same for multiple tables around me. Additionally, the prices had really gone up since my last visit. Unclear why. It bugs me that they nail guests for 6% SF mandate — much higher than most restaurants. I don't know why health insurance for Barcha would be far higher than other restaurants.“

“Amazing. Even one of our waiter was amazing. They forgot my sardines and they gave me mussels. Both were AMAZING. Drinks were amazing AND the staff were amazing as well. I dont usually leave reviews unless it is worth my time. Definitely a place to go“

“Great experience!great food! family oriented.. takes you back to your roots. We had a huge group. we all tried something different, and we shared everything. it was all delicious. for dessert we had the churros with the Mexican melted chocolate ...delicious!!!!“

“Great food and service ! Love the ambience and variety offerings“

“A wonderful evening at Okoze with Jason, doing a vast taster session for us organised by some amazing friends.
Some of the freshest ingredients I’ve ever tasted!
From crab, to tuna, to prawn, to scallop, to wagyu, to pickled plum and a wild array in between this was a fantastic evening and wonderful meal. A special shout out to the prawn tempura we started with, so crunchy but so light! Plus the wagyu that melted like butter!
Highly recommend a visit to Okoze for truly beautiful and tasty food.“

“Fun charming, local wine bar“

“Came here New Year’s Eve and they’re open! Amazing friendly cozy clean ambience ❤️ we got the goat curry, chicken curry, jhol momo and they were all delicious - rich but not overpowering. The carrot pudding was a tad too sweet for me but still good. Def coming back !!“

“Nice atmosphere. Good drinks and music.“

“Staff is great. Roof top bar mucho Bueno . Love this place“

“I had a few minutes before I visiting hours at St. Francis Hospital. This was around the corner at Hyde and Bush. The visitors entrance is on Hyde between Pine and Bush while the ER entrance is on Bush between Hyde and Leavenworth. There were a lot of people inside and outside. A line formed shortly after I placed my order. Picked up coffee but their pastries looked good.“

“Came for brunch and thought it was cute and tasty! We came here around opening time on a Saturday and there was no line and plenty of seating.

I don’t think this place will beat out a no frills place that just does brunch items well but for a fusion-y, themed brunch place I think it’s definitely one of the top ones in the city.

I got the sando Benedict and my husband got the rancheros. I definitely thought mine was the better of the two and he somewhat agreed.“

“OPTIMAL! Following the other reviews we arrived at this small Japanese restaurant, almost invisible from the street. Excellent and well-groomed food. Very kind staff, very helpful both in advice and in customizing orders! A little dark but welcoming place!“

“Lovely atmosphere and service from the hostess to our servers. Menu is unique yet simple. Great for vegetarians looking for finer menu. Every bite was flavorful and delicious!“

“This little sleeper on Monterey Blvd is awesome! The booths are spacious and intimate. A fine place to enjoy a quiet meal of delicious sushi rolls, hot saki, cold Sapporo. The food was modestly priced and so good my friends and I just kept ordering.
This hidden gem is highly recommended.“

“Wonderful experience eating wonderful foods“

“Updated 11/2024 Sadly - place is closed permanently .. checked their IG & Yelp .. both confirmed closure. (Old review) Crispy Chicken Fried Rice ❤️❤️❤️ wok hei 👍👍👍 & chicken soooo crispy … & the best Vietnamese egg roll … crispy & oil less ..“

“Best sushi in the Marina District!“

“Amazing, the nicest people fells like family in here“

“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!“

“Nice place, nice people, cool owners, nice bartenders good food 💯 Definitely recommend“

“First brewery of the day and what an excellent neighborhood brew pub sitting on the corner of Bryant St and Cesar Chavez St. A lot to choose from so we went high ABV with the Hazed & Confused Double Hazy IPA at 9%. We both enjoyed it.“

“Really nice local joint to check out. The food was great and the bartender and owner were really nice. Good options for non drinkers and vegetarians. Very spacious. Looking forward to coming back for trivia and music. Forgot to take a pic before I was almost done with the food, it was too good to let sit.

Vegetarian options: The spinach balls were really good

Dietary restrictions: Most of the food was dairy free, lots of veg options“

“Thank you, Le Petit Paris 75, for welcoming the Richard Crook trio to your delightful club. Always a friendly atmosphere, amazing cocktails, and awesome music line ups!“

“Excellent food and service“

“The importance of an experienced and friendly chef should not be overlooked. Too many times I have found restaurants where the chef disregards the customer's opinion due to perceived lack of expertise in the culinary craft. That isn't the case here. Chef Bobby spoke to every diner during my visit and listened to our feedback, as well as provided some backstory and reason to his processes. It was a very warm and engaging experience, which helped us better understand the food. This is always a good thing.

The prices here are excellent, especially for the quality. I don't need to talk about the all you can drink deal, but it's what you'd expect and really great for the price again.

I have nothing bad to say as a customer, but I noted throughout the night how the layout of the restaurant causes the robot server to impede the staff's ability to quickly move around the restaurant. This is due to the hallway layout causing only one person to be able to walk through at a time, sometimes while shuffling behind the robot. I know it's a unique piece for the restaurant, but I wonder if it's really necessary. I imagine it would be pretty annoying for all involved parties during busy hours. On the other hand, the train is a much more efficient design although it lacks the ability to move larger dishes.“

“We ordered the combo plate with lamb, beef and chicken shawarma served with rice and salad. It was freshly made to order, with flavorful tender meat, yummy freshly sliced salad, and well cooked rice. Large portion for a very reasonable price. We all loved it and will definitely be back! Awesome healthy addition to the Stonestown food court.“

“We had the most wonderful dinner tonight at Noren Izakaya! Everything was fantastic from start to finish! From the service to the cocktails to the variety of food, to the dessert! Japanese yakitori and grilled street food and even sashimi! My new favorite! A must if you live or are visiting San Francisco! Oh! And tonight is not the night to skip dessert! 😘“

“Overall it was normal food.
I had high expectations because of the good ratings, but it was a bit more disappointing than I expected. However, when I revisited it, it was different.
I think it’s worth looking forward to the different types of food~^^“

“Josh and Jace made our night! Thank you for the hospitality ��“

“Today was my first time coming here and I really enjoyed the experience. I had the stuffed eggplant for lunch and it comes with rice and side salad. For those of you looking for healthy options, this is the place. I'm definitely coming here again.“
