50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants San Francisco

“Vibe is great; wouldn't consider it anything super fancy, but a nice place for a normal date night. Food was SUPER good! Portions were bigger than expected and everything was bursting with flavor. Service is very accomodating to allergies. Will say, service could have been better, but I'm a tough judge to crack, so I won't put it past them. Highly recommend!“

“We appreciated the concept of using the dim sum style roving carts. The service was very efficient, helpful and personable. The ambiance and vibe was very lively and fun, but the noise level was high so, for some elders, it made conversation difficult. The variety of dishes were creative and fun to try. Since this was our first time at the restaurant, our picks from the roving carts were sort of pot luck so some dishes we loved and others, not so much. I think it would take another visit or two to figure out what to say "yes" to and what to say "no thank you" to, for our tastes.“

“Definitely not your typical brunch. We loved the Filipino inspired creations. Don’t skip the French toast with caviar hollandaise, crumbled bacon, and shrimp. It’s AMAZING!“

“Took a while to get a table and there’s not much seating inside, but we got the coziest little table by the kitchen. The spicy tomato pizza is insanely good! The rosemary pizza was solid but I felt that it needed more salt. Staff and vibe are great. Highly recommend“

“Great environment, lively, and tasty food!“

“Was seated surprisingly super quickly on a sunny Saturday lunch on the sidewalk. Took about 15 minutes for a party of 4. The menu is small, but everything that we ordered was big portioned and fantastic. From the grilled cheese to the mushroom toast to the scone (with cream!) to the veggie grain bowl, everything was hearty, flavorful, and delicious.“

“Amazing food and wine, great view“

“This a place to visit,great food and service“

“One of the best tasting pizza I’ve tasted I highly recommend this place.“

“Lovely friendly Italian wine bar and delicious restaurant. Fresh innovative salads, pastas and main courses. Highly recommended.“

“We had another fabulous dinner last night . The service was outstanding and the food was creative, beautiful and most of all, delicious. It is by far one the top three restaurants in San Francisco. If you haven't experienced a wonderful evening at Cotogna, you are really missing a night to remember.“

“Absolutely fantastic! The lemon ricotta pancakes are to die for. Literally! I'd take a bullet for them. Their business model and employee pay structure truly is inspiring and stands out in our Capitalistic land of greed and self-centeredness. Oh, and full brunch menu on a Friday afternoon?? Yes Please!“

“After circling for parking, the reward of this delicious meal made it worth it. Pro tip: Sit at counter to watch the food being made! I personally love watching the chefs, makes it feel like an experience. Food Scallops from Maine: amazing, fresh, and sweet. The yuzu is *chefs kiss* Yuzudofu fresh with a side grated ginger, scallions, flakes were absolutely delicous. Get this. Mochi tofu pouch: super comforting. This flavor takes me to Japan. And it's so Cute! The mustard is POTENT. Clears my sinuses. Must Get this. As for grilled items, the chicken knee cartilage skewer or the chicken oysters were grilled perfectly and served hot off the yakitori grill, Amazing. Get this as well. Millefeuille katsu: this is a wonder in itself! Many layers of tender pork fried in in a tonkatsu. Beautifully cut salad on the side and so good even my friend who doesn't like salad liked it. I'd order again. Maguro yukke: I'd pass on this one. Hojicha panna cotta isn't too sweet and comes with syrup if needed (in the cutest container)! Service 5/5 amazing staff, proactive professionals without any pretentiousness! I left my credit card behind and they told me right away! Bathroom Two stalls. Designed with wooden doors and look outstanding.“

“As a vegetarian, I was disappointed by the food. The tangine was odd in flavour, while the vegetarian pasta was super bland, with lots of sweet peas and very little pasta and sauce. The artichokes and cauliflower were also surprisingly bland. I was looking forward to trying this institution and left nonplussed.“

“Amazing food, attentive and knowledgable service made for a memorable first night in San Francisco!!!!“

“Food is incredible and the service is second to none. Best place in the marina.“

“Good food, great location on the roof outdoor dining“

“What a treat! Highly recommend“

“Excellent espresso coffee, friendly service and a lovely brunch menu. I look forward to returning sometime for dinner. The chef’s were prepping a range of fresh looking ingredients and the smells emanating from the kitchen were beautiful!“

“super yummy I loved every bite“

“Really nice fair..lovely Americana incredible surprise in the Sunset.exactly what soccer player needs for good fuel.from salads to wings to DIE FOR!!!this place is 55.or even 5.2/5..craft well and sauces..REALLY...great street vibe or in back quiet.“

“Great restaurant and also picturesque“

“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 cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. I am a business owner a few doors down and I wandered in with a friend after work one night about a month ago. We were met with such incredible warmth from the staff and the environment itself, even without a reservation. We sat at the bar and were greeted by Josh, only to find out later that he is the owner. He made excellent recommendations on everything from our drinks to dessert. The bar didn’t feel isolated from the rest of the restaurant and guests, but rather was lively hub frequented by kitchen and serving staff and warmed by a smoldering wood fire. The coziest. We swooned for the poke appetizer, complete with house-made toasted, but not crisp, blue corn tortillas. The pork shoulder tacos—also to die for. I have to say though, that the star on the sidelines was the beans. I honestly didn’t know I could feel this way about beans…but I digress. Josh bounced around from table to table all night, never letting a single ball drop, making every guest feel like *his* guest. A pot de crème sealed the evening in perfect bliss. I’m back a month later with the same friend, eating different and somehow even more incredible entrees: ribeye, halibut and a rhubarb crisp for dessert. I scarcely ever take the time to write a review as I prefer to vote with my $ and my feet, but I simply couldn’t eat here again without taking the time to sing it’s praises. Eat here.“

“Hands down THE best croissant in San Francisco. But they have so much more than that. Pates, quiches, desserts - and they all look so Parisian. Walking in is an exercise in self control. But the good news is, if you do cave in, it’s worth it!“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“Every drink is handled with care.“

“Good vibe and great service especially Yonos and Eric!“

“Great food, great atmosphere and great service! Fair prices and snappy service!“

“Fantastic experience for solo diners—if you’re dining solo, they let you order half-size portions of all of the entrees on the menu so you can try more things. Everything was great and felt like I got to try a ton of interesting things at a very reasonable price for the quality.“

“The ambiance of the space was delightful, characterized by high ceilings and generously sized tables that provided ample comfort and space to savor our meal. Offering both indoor and outdoor dining options, the outdoor area featured a portion shielded by plastic, ensuring protection from the elements. Additionally, a second-floor dining room overlooking the main indoor area seemed reserved for private functions. The cuisine impressed with its excellence and visually appealing presentation. Service was both friendly and attentive, and portion sizes were fitting for a fine dining experience. An added charm was the outdoor movie screenings against the establishment's wall, which lent its name. Highly recommended.“

“The friendly hipster vibe and service“

“This is the old Palette restaurant space on Folsom. Logistically not sure how they got a Michelin star so quickly. They are on par with Californios. Sat at chef counter and had the 13 course prefix (~$450 for 2 people). Space was warm (2 hearth and open wood fired ovens) w great ambiance. Service was exceptional. Meal was fantastic - all seafood based and no pork / beef. Dishes were creative and rich / flavorful. Drinks were all $20-25 for cocktails and were probably weakest part of their experience. I would maybe get a bottle of wine next time. Out the door paid $750 for 2 people (4 drinks total) which included tax and gratuity which they include on bill. Definitely an expensive meal and night out, good for specialoccasion. Overall would definitely recommend. Great addition to neighborhood for sure, would recommend.“

“Amazing sandwich! Can’t wait to go back again to try more.“

“Love the aesthetic of this bar, visiting from LA and this is the perfect bar that I’d be a regular at. Rochelle is an amazing bartender, friendly and warm, has the best music choices, and makes the most perfect handcrafted specialty cocktails. Highly recommend.“

“Loved out experience, super knowledgeable waiter/mixologist and the amazing cocktails!“

“Absolutely adorable place!! Seating is mostly all outdoors but that's the best part of it! So much greenery and cute plants! Food is also tasty, and service is fast even on a Sunday morning. I think it'll become one of my fav go to spots. Just can't beat the vibes!“

“"Breaking bread" and the octopus were the only two good dishes we had. The salads, baklava, and grilled oysters were just okay while the lamb and stuffed squid entrees were incredibly bland. I'd say this is your classic trendy "small plates meant for sharing" restaurant that has all the hype and none of the actual delivery. Prices are ridiculous for the portion sizes. Service was attentive but cold. Their menu seemed super interesting, so I'd go back one more time to give them another shot. But overall, I wasn't terribly impressed by my first visit.“

“Great local brews in rotation.“

“One of my favorite Sunday brunch places in the city. The food is always amazing, often with an unique flair. The service is always on point with very friendly staff making it even that much better of an experience.“

“The friendliest staff in the city work here. Also, a killer cocktail menu and the food was superb, we had a proper Guinness with a beef stew and fresh soda bread and it was absolutely delicious, one of our favorite date night spots in the city!“

“Truly authentic Calabrese style Italian cuisine takes us back to Nonna’s kitchen“

“Great bartender! Right on SF Bay.“

“My first time here, everything was great. My only complaint was its very crowded meaning that the tables are very close together. Our waiter said he has been working there for 20 years. That's impressive. Overall, it's a great spot. The food is wonderful, the other 3 I was with got the roasted chicken and I went with the steelhead.“

“Had San Francisco Cioppino (Mussels. Clams, Crab, Cod, Prawns, Scallops and Garlic Bread that was the bomb). Only giving 2 thumbs up as I only have 2. Great food, great service!“

“Went for Spring restaurant week. Got the steak and salmon option. Started off with their salad - yummy. Next is the pea soup - also yummy. Not as grainy as some pea soups can be. Steak made well with the aoili dipping sauce. Salmon also nicely made. Kids meal has a salt & pepper option. Dessert was a lemon pound cake which was a bit disappointing. Was dense and a bit too tart for me. Rustic setting. Definitely prefer the back near the fire place.Parking: There is a parking lot on 8th - if it is city operated, it is free after 6pm-otherwise metered. Street parking is free after 6PM and Sundays.Kid-friendliness: Has a kids menu option-more then chicken tenders and burgers which was nice. Salmon was an option with fries and seasonal veggies (currently peas).“

“Had the white wine and the Gabagool — it was a treat!! If you can, try to sit the corner where the sun hits you.Service and vibes are similar any other bougie wine bar, with excellent waiter recommendations on food options.Will go again!!“

“Really warm and welcoming service and a mule kick of a great margarita, what's not to like? We enjoyed all the plates especially the pozole Roja and Baja fish tacos, both dishes so flavorful ($18/$16). I thought the prices were a little steep for two small street tacos and also the two chocolate chip cookie dessert. They were both very good - but priced too high ($8 for two cookies?) Buttermilk churros with a dark chocolate sauce were dreamy. Definitely order those to split, delicious. Great decor, you could spend time meditating on the beautiful, fluttery ceiling in a gorgeous color of ocean blue.“

“Excellent cocktails that everyone enjoyed.“

“I recently hosted a 14-person dinner at Del Popolo. The experience was seamless from initial communication to the actual event. All of the attendees were impressed by the atmosphere, food, and service. I typically don't write reviews but it should be noted that this is a wonderful venue for casual (yet nice) group dinners. Thank you team!“
