The Rooftop is a nice place for lunch on a sunny day - unfortunately it was threatening to rain on the day we had lunch. The food is good and the service, solid but there were only a few tables occupied and things may change if it's busy. More generally, the energy was good. Be aware of the two plus flight of stairs - walk up.

What a great find! Parking garage right across the street too! We celebrated Valentine's Day here 2024 and couldn't be happier. They had both their regular menu and a Valentine's Day menu. Happy to know we weren't stuck with just one option. The drinks were outstanding made with fresh ingredients. The menu is small for a reason. The ribeye and salmon were cooked to perfection. Attention to details were not missed on us. The entire staff was great. We will be returning to revisit this fantastic establishment this weekend.

There is a hidden gem situated in an alley that you wouldn't want to miss. 25 Lusk. This place offers great food and has a hip ambiance. Additionally, the cocktails they serve are simply delicious.

3.5 stars yearning to be 4. think just ordered the wrong things. My wife had 5-star pancakes with strawberries and syrup and went al Harry met Sally food-gasm on it. am sure it was awesome but I was dealing with the buyer's remorse of a slightly dry and underwhelming lobster @ bacon roll. Our friend had the octopus Benedict that was apparently on par with the afore mentioned epic 'cakes so tried a bite and it was pretty damn good. was left thinking why didn't save the bacon from my lackluster lobster BLT and use it on the spare eggs Benedict she offered me. Or just gotten the burger instead. The road not taken...The cocktails were legit, make sure you order one or several. The Bloody Mary had a special roasted tomato house mix, giving it a smokey rich taste. Not my favorite but interesting. The Gold Rush with bourbon was epic though, make sure you ask for it off-menu. Dec 2015.

The rooftop was awesome! The service was great! We had yummy food and had such a good time. Who doesn't love an rooftop?! Would definitely recommend this spot and we are definitely going back.

25 Lusk rooftop is VERY noisy. It is expensive which made it surprising that it's self serve for all ordering. There were 4 of us so one person got stuck with going to the register to order drinks and then going to order food. If there are questions about prep or presentation you have to track down one of the staff - no one comes to the table to ask. Food was unusual and nicely presented. We especially enjoyed the huummus board.
By far one of the most curated and thoughtful meals I’ve ever had in my life. Chef Matt Dolan has an immense passion for food and serving his patrons. The food, the atmosphere and the experience I had during my meal will be hard to beat. Highly highly recommend!

More casual than most rooftops and really this in only a two story building so it's a modest rooftop, the vibe was fun though and not pretentious. Great for a casual gathering

First off the atmosphere is on point. The food is phenomenal. Chef Matt was a great host, and he even sat down and shared some laughs with us. It's a great place for a romantic dinner, or a laid back party.

Had the wonderful opportunity to go to dinner with my colleagues and it was a wonderful mix of atmosphere and top of the line plates! Chef Matt Dolan and his staff are so cordial and made all of us feel special from the time we were first seated until we left the restaurant. From the salads to the salmon, prime rib to dessert every dish was prepared with passion and love and tasted amazing. I truly recommend taking the time out while in SF to go. Thanks again to Chef Matt and the entire staff for a memorable night!

I made a reservation for my anniversary, and they didn't actually reserve... anything. It might as well have been a walk-in. When I got there, all of the good tables were taken, they handed us paper menus and said "sit anywhere." I said I had a reservation and they just said "ok." The only benefit my reservation served was to THEM, as if I would have cancelled they would have auto charged me a $20 fee.
