First and foremost shut out to Ace!! Amazing bartender and server. We came for a drink and their burger wich is so good by the way. But then we had Ace he's not only attentive and respectful but also friendly and very caring. The ambiance it's smooth Relaxed great for meeting a friend or having relaxed evening.Ace was very nice and I was so sad when I saw this guy giving him such a hard time and calling him racist as a Latina and a minority I have to say he was nothing but wonderful and attentive I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this entitled person u personally had a wonderful experience would definitely coming back and highly recommend this place for a pleasant evening and quick tasting bite . Thank you Ace for making our evening so special ..

Food was good, service was good. Poor bartender was the only person doing dinner. The restaurant is the lobby of a hotel, and the my done seem to check open table. The bartender was surprised when we showed up as a party of 5 for a reservation.

Wow, wow, wow! The Barnes is a hidden gem. Perfectly located on Powell St, it’s in an incredibly safe area. I arrived at the BART station from the airport and walked with my suitcase the short two blocks (less than 5 minutes) £- so easy. This is THE place to stay and eat - on the famous tram street, central and safe.A nice vibe at the bar - the burgers were amazing! And a perfectly made gin and tonic!Great breakfast too - fresh pastries, fruit, cereal, yogurt, eggs, coffee etc.

Disaster from beginning to end. Food was over cooked. Service was friendly but almost nonexistent. Surprised it's actually still in business. I usually don't review if not good news, but this is one of those times where o just felt we needed to warn others. Don't waste your time or money.

Just like the hotel not really good. Luckily I can't say much about the food, but the fact that almost no one eats there from the hotel says pretty much everything...Parking: You always have to park far away, especially given the price, it's a disaster.

The craft cocktails are on point (specially The Three Sheets vodka cocktail) and they have a lot of great food options (I tried the Steamed Buns) with amazing service. The Restaurant and Bar is right in front of the iconic cable car making it a true San Francisco Union Square experience. Have to try the Social Hour soon... can't wait!
