About The View Lounge

The View Lounge offers a calming atmosphere with an interior design that complements its stunning view of San Francisco. This relaxing place is ideal for enjoying small plates appetizers and sunsets. The Adobo tacos are a must-try, along with their excellent Martinis and Manhattans. While the cocktails are a bit pricey, they are worth it for the vibe and view. Service is generally good, but it can be slow during busy hours. The establishment is self-seating and has limited seating, making it more suitable for small groups or a romantic outing. The breathtaking view at night is phenomenal, especially from the huge windows surrounding the bar.

The View Lounge is a great spot, though getting a seat is not guaranteed, especially for larger groups. The servers, like Don, are attentive and make guests feel comfortable. The atmosphere is excellent, with a crowded but relaxed vibe, and the food quality, like the fantastic mushroom dish, is good. The portion sizes are not large, so guests may need to order multiple items if very hungry, with the bill averaging $50-60 per person for a dish and a drink.
