Uccello Lounge Reviews
The restaurant has a limited menu that offers only three selections per category of appetizer, main course, and dessert. We each started with a beet salad that also included portions of grapefruit and was actually quite good.

Small pf menu but every bite delicious. Excellent bar and service, Across the street from Performing Arts Center so pertfect
Great spot for pre show dinner, easy parking and walk to all main venues. Our fixed menus had three great choices, we had the citrus salad (light and perfectly balanced), clam chowder (generous portion and tasty). Main was petrole sole and it was perfectly grilled! And don't miss the flat bread, 100% worth the up charge. We will definitely make this our go to from now on!
Uccello Lounge, a hidden gem on Van Ness, offers a diverse menu featuring delectable dishes such as pretzel Parker house rolls, Korean griddle cakes, Ukrainian dumplings, and elegant salads. The $55 prix fixe menu provides good choices, including chicken and fresh fish, with highlights like the "Vacherin," a delightful ice cream dessert. The cocktail and wine lists are impressive, boasting creative and well-balanced drinks, such as the Empress Gin fizzed with brut champagne. Live music from the conservatory enhances the ambiance, creating a sophisticated atmosphere. The service is friendly and fast, although there have been mixed experiences regarding consistency. While portions may be small, the food is excellent, including dishes like carpaccio, calamari, pork plate, and petrale sole. Customers have praised the wonderful staff, great cocktails, and delicious burgers, micheladas, and esquites. Desserts like coffee gelato and sticky toffee cake are noted for being tasty and not overly sweet. The head chef is known to greet guests, adding to the memorable dining experience. With its beautiful atmosphere and excellent acoustics, Uccello Lounge is a fantastic spot for a pre-show meal, especially before Symphony and Ballet nights. However, some reviews mention issues with service speed and food consistency, suggesting room for improvement.
