A San Francisco classic well worth re-visiting. For me, it was probably 30 years between trips. But there's nothing aged or tired about Zuni. Still feels like a living, breathing, vivacious place to be.

Zuni did not disappoint despite being a busy Pride day ! our reserved table was ready quickly and we had the great service to be expected.

We had the crudo fish dish which was excellent, a salad with melon which was okay and the thin fries which were fine. BUT the waitress who was attentive asked if we wanted catsup and aioli and got both and they charged for the aioli. She asked if I wanted wine and I said yes a white wine. She said they had a nice glass of chabli (which was okay) and they charged $26. I thought it was a mistake and they had charged for the bottle but, no, it was the price for the glass of wine. I think the waitress should have mentioned the price when she recommended it!! So that was my experience at Zuni.

Always a good meal and great people watching outside at Zuni. Even more so on Pride Weekend.

We made reservations at Zuni to attend the Roy Choi cookbook event and it was phenomenal. The staff (hostess, chef, waitress) were great. My husband and I definitely want to come back and try their food.

Only reason I'm saying four stars is that now they've added an automatic 20% gratuity on top of the 5% SF mandate. I get that you have to compensate for people who might never tip, but I always tip 20% anyway, but I hate the automatic-the service definitely doesn't feel the same, less personalized and more cookie cutter.

Be warned : the chicken is very very sour , or maybe it is my problem of having a sensitive taste?
Overpriced. Was very busy on Sunday for brunch and had to repeatedly call the server. Food was average. 20% gratuity is included even for 2.

3 of us were seated in a very narrow corner and it was not enough room to place all the dishes and we were eating elbow to elbow. There was a much suited 4 person table and was empty the ENTIRE time but they didn’t want to move us. The food was average and we had to send back the onion soup back since it is way too salty. Lastly, they won’t take credit card tab / Apple Pay - found this very outdated in San Francisco and consider this as a finer restaurant. Won’t be back again

Cozy restaurant with fine food made of the best produce. However, I can’t help but think I could have made just as delicious chicken and salad at home myself 🤷🏻♀️
Usually when I dine out, I like to try something new or go places that offer dishes I wouldn’t be able to easily make at home.
I’ve wanted to visit Zuni ever since I was an undergrad (over 15 years now), and I’m glad to have experienced the cozy hospitality. However, there are much more interesting restaurants at this price point. If prices were 20% lower, I would have left a little less disappointed about the experience.

What happened, Zuni? I come 2-3x a year and yesterday’s visit was so sad. I do appreciate you honored my table request. Server wasn’t very friendly. Bland manhattan, is that a thing? Server took out glasses before me and my friend could enjoy our cherry at the end. TEICE! The shoestrings and Ceasar were pretty good but my beloved Zuni chicken was sad. The bread salad was so charred in spots and it wasn’t well dressed at all. I felt so disappointed. Then, my bag of leftovers had someone’s half eaten burger in it. So all the extra chicken I had got wasted because I wasn’t convinced it was mine. Wasn’t worth the $400 this time.
