“Great little spot! Loved the atmosphere as soon as we walked in. They had black and white movies on the TV which added to the ambiance. The staff seated us as soon as we arrived and were very kind and courteous. But most of all the food was great! Can't go wrong with the shrimp poboy! Also the swamp water tea was great! And you can't miss out on the beignets! Amazingly light and fluffy! A great spot for sure!“
“One of my favorite local spots on the City. The staff is always super nice and genuinely friendly. My wife and I always feel good about dining here.This evening we had the amazing Bucket of Chicken. Sides were the standard Mac n Cheese, potatoes and gravy, greens.... Also a huge burger to mix it up.Highly recommend dining here. It's not always easy to score a table. But tonight it was cold and rainy so.....Cheers!“
“Lovely neighborhood spot with delightful Louisiana cuisine in the Stanyan / Cole Valley area!I'm vegetarian and Creole cuisine is always tricky because seemingly vegetarian dishes (e.g. rice & beans) often contain chicken stock or ham. CreoLA does a great job of creating vegetarian food that's authentic and not an afterthought. They have a vegetarian jambalaya that's amazing! The wild mushrooms in it are juicy and full of flavor and it makes me happy I can taste the beautiful flavors of Creole cooking. Also recommended are the hush puppies and the beignets. My partner loves the catfish here and says the fish is cooked just right and it's never over done.“
“Please try this restaurant. I was visiting SF with my husband while he took the State BAR, and after a long, taxing day of testing, we found Gentilly and it breathed life back into him. We ordered the Cajun pasta and the dish with the pulled pork, ribs, and mac. Outstanding food. Ribs slipped off the bone. They have a nice selection of non-alcoholic craft sodas, plus lots of awesome cocktails...which I ordered the second night because we HAD to go back! The first night we ate in the back room and another table was doing a murder mystery which was really cool. We ate in the lounge on the second night and chatted with our server, Jessica - - super cool human being, so kind and engaging! Someone came in and the bartender new him by name, asked if he wanted his favorite thing, and put his program on the TV. It was so wholesome and made it feel homey. I genuinely want to visit this area of SF just to go back to Gentilly! This restaurant is obviously a passion project and I'm so happy places like this exist. My only complaint is that it's so far away from where I live! Then again if I lived close to Gentilly I'd probably gain a lot of weight, especially since they serve a brownie with ice cream and salted caramel. You'd be doing yourself a great disservice if you didn't try it!“
“What a wonderful neighborhood gem! Delicious, fresh seafood with friendly service. I’m so glad we discovered this place and our favorites include the calm chowder, whole grilled branzino (stuff with rosemary and served with veggies), scallop salad, and the mussels. Stop reading and go now; you won’t regret it :)Vegetarian options: A lot of yummy pasta and saladsKid-friendliness: Casual environment and friendly service; kid menu available“
“Heard about this new place on IG and knew I had to give it a try. Peruvian food is one of my top 3 so I was so excited. The restaurant is located on the industrial side of Cesar Chavez, right off 280. There aren't any other restaurants or bars nearby. Plenty of parking during dinner on a weeknight. The ambiance is causal and spacious. All the staff were attentive and very nice. Even the chef came out to ask us how our dinner was and thanked us for stopping by. All the flavors are there and each dish was really pretty. My favorite had to be the tallarines verdes. We ordered them as a side dish which isn't an option on the menu, but the chef accommodated us. Only thing I wish was that they had more wine options. But I'm sure that'll improve with time. Here's what we ordered: Lomo Saltado with Filet Mignon-10/10 Bistec a Lo Pobre-8/10 (wish my egg was a little more runny but still soooo good, could have done without the fries) Tallarines Verdes-10/10 Pisco Sour-9/10 It wasn't very busy which is expected being that it's fairly new. I really hope more people hear about this place because the food is solid! Excited to try more from their menu.“
“What a crazy fusion menu of Chinese and Vietcajun! I would 100% come back here for the cajun xiao long bao. The savory cajun garlic butter broth inside the handwrapped dumpling wrapper... SO GOOD! It was served fresh and you could even see the staff making these by hand. Made to order!KEEP IN MIND: They no longer serve happy hour here - even though it says it in the menu... We got the cucumber salad, which was simple and tasty, but bummed it wasn't discounted LOLThe Vegetable Noodle Soup tasted very hearty and homestyle. I liked the texture of the noodles and the broth was flavorful. A good amount of veggies!“
“My friend and I love seafood boils so we decided to try this place out for dinner. Cute decorations inside, place was clean, server was attentive, and the food came out quick. I ordered a lb of mussels and she got a lb of shrimp (head on). We both asked for a combination of the 3 sauces (medium). The cook and texture of the seafood was great. The sauce was heavy on the Cajun side which I liked and the spice level was a perfect medium. We also got the garlic noodles, it wasn't oily like most are and I enjoyed the garlic flavor. Definitely try this place if you're craving seafood!“
“I recently had a fantastic experience here. The food was not only delicious but also arrived promptly, just a minute after placing our order. In an era where quick service is a rarity, it was refreshing to find a place that exceeded expectations. I’m definitely looking forward to returning for another enjoyable meal before we head back to North Carolina.“
