Food was good but I saw a rat run across in front of my table. Not once but twice! I felt nauseous afterwards and had to throw away my leftovers for safety reasons.

VERY LONG WAIT. Came here at 11:30am. It’s now 12:25pm and we’ve only received one of the two appetizers. Still no main dish, typical pinoy time with no sense of urgency!

The best Filipino cuisine around San Francisco. They offer the best authentic dishes that uses fresh ingredients that ultimately pleased your palette. You cannot go wrong with anything in their menu. I strongly suggest the crispy dilis fried rice to start then the rest will followWheelchair accessibility: Enough room to accommodate.
I very rarely leave restaurant reviews but needed to let others know about this horrendous experience from September 2023.I was excited to try Via Mare as an out of state visitor. My Filipino friend took me here on a weekday evening. The restaurant wasn’t busy but the waitstaff hardly ever came around (no water refills, no checking in on us). I asked the waitstaff to charge a certain amount on my credit card. I was traveling for work and had to stay under a certain amount. They came back and charged my card the wrong amount. Then they went back and supposedly refunded my card and charged the correct amount. Unfortunately, they never refunded my card for the incorrect amount and kept the money. It appeared on my business card statement and we couldn’t dispute the amount. I called my credit card issuer and they were not able to resolve it. So Via Mare charged me twice for this meal! So unprofessional!

My wife and I visited Via Mare in the Philippines and we were excited to discover that there's a VM in the Bay Area!The experience was the same if not better! The table service was fairly quick. The staff were friendly and helpful.The food was fresh, delicious and prepared perfectly.Mind you there were only four of us and we ordered for at six!We ordered crispy pata, beef nilaga, pancit bihon, V M bbq pork, fried chicken and Shanghai lumpia!Everyone really enjoyed their choices. We'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.
The staff at Via Mare are so great. Their food is amazing. The atmosphere is so nice and intimate.

By far the BEST Filipino restaurant in the Bay! The Bicol express and extra crispy Bangus Sisig are of this world! Believe it or not, I can say with all confidence that it’s actually better than food I’ve had in Manila. In addition, contrary to many beliefs, halo halo is not all the same! Via Mare’s is sooo good! What makes it even better? The service—-especially from the nicest server in the world—-BRIAN! Last but not least, I am particular about restrooms. Food may be great but if the place has a nasty bathroom, I am turned off with the whole place. Via Mare’s is clean and pretty. I can’t say anything bad about this place. I brought friends here and they all ordered Bicol Express & Crispy Bangus sisig to go! Love this place!!!PLEASE STAY OPEN!!!
