“Oh my GOODNESS this place did not disappoint. We had to make a reservation some 30 days in advance but it was well worth it.There’s something so easy about having a little plate brought around right to you and being able to say “Yes I want that right now please” and just being able to eat it immediately. Absolutely divine.And the flavors were just I N C R E D I B L E. Every dish had some many layers to it, it was just amazing.1000/10 would recommend!“
“This is one beautiful place with colors, art and i think largest mural i have seen in sf, showcasing culture, i loved the vibe, food was tasty specially patatas bravas, short ribs, gambas, flatbread and drinks were just wow! very creative and tasty cocktails. great space for special occasions and groups.“
“We came here after a long urban hike with ravenous appetites. It was late noon but cafe was moderately full. Soon we were seated, welcomed with house special cauliflower & lavender soups. It was delicious and moth watering. I ordered potatoe and sage torte along with lemon & blueberry tart. Trust me ! We all had sumptuous lunch here. I will highly recommend this place who love vegan foods. I am sure ,here you will enjoy foods too.“
“Canela Bistro & Wine Bar is an Excellent spot. Welcoming & lively vibe, friendly & attentive service (Thank You Trinity), awesome wine list, and a delicious menu. Our favorite bite is their Roasted Bone Marrow. I highly recommend Canela Bistro & Wine Bar.“
“Treating myself to a Friday brunch and couldn’t have picked a better place! I was immediately greeted by a genuinely friendly waitress and there was plenty of seating to pick from. I’m always on the search for a good breakfast sandwich and theirs hit the spot - so good!! I actually really enjoyed the smaller portions because they were so flavorful, didn’t make me feel stuffed, and allowed me to try the doughnut plate too:) Will definitely be back for more!“
“Loved their Al pastor cauliflower tacos! They're delicious! Haven't seen this vegetarian option on menus. We also got the mushroom cheese dish to share. They give about 6 fresh tortillas with it. Great for sharing between 2-4 ppl. Great service. The decor and the vibe of the place totally goes with the menu. Came here for a friend's birthday. We were group of 10 ppl or so!“
“What a great spot to hit up on a Saturday night, staff were super friendly and made the night enjoyable! There was a live DJ which made the ambience amazing.Can’t go wrong with anything you order, we really loved the octopus and steak!! (Steak was so tender and melts in your melt)You should also try their cocktails, uno and quatro… they were very good!** PS don’t forget to bring something to trade in !“
“The food was good, but definitely not worth the price tag, with the exception of the uni toast (10/10), the pasta, and the oysters. The steak tartare barely tasted like steak, and nothing other than the uni was worth coming back for. Dessert was pretty good though. Ambiance was also very casual, but not “
“Discover a slice of Japan's exquisite culinary tradition at this premier omakase and Tapas fusion restaurant. Each dish is a masterpiece, blending authentic flavors with artful presentation. The chef's passion for cuisine shines through, promising a truly authentic omakase experience. The Chief, George, adds to the ambiance with a welcoming presence that's attentive yet unobtrusive, ensuring a memorable dining experience.“
“If you want the happy hour menu, you have to sit at the bar or window, all of which are high top chairs and not accessible for disabled people. It’a a dumb policy and they should consider more accessible seating for those who cannot sit in high top chairs. Great food though - the beef empenada, beet gazpacho, and ensalada were my favorites.“
“We visited for lunch.Both the service and the meal were excellent.We thoroughly enjoyed the Guacamole made with fresh avocado and chips,the Ceviche with plenty of ingredients and exquisite acidity.The Cubano Classico sandwich which is not commonly found in Japan.They also provided detailed explanations about the drinks.We definitely want to go again.Thank you very much.“
“It’s a great bar for your first date; but no one returns to it ; and therefore it’s not a neighborhood bar; but It’s exterior architecture - a transportation hub / station converted to a bar - is startlingly good; but the interior doesn’t create a sense of belonging.Stools are designed to traumatize your posterior; perhaps a short date is best ; the beer and snacks and the service are great but without the neighborly feeling , it’s just another brick in the wall;“
“One of the best wine bars in the city! Totally unpretentious, incredibly welcoming, and always a good time. The menu has a few changes regularly and there's ALWAYS a fantastic and varied wine selection. You can tell that every person who works here is passionate and loves what they do, one of the true gems of North Beach.Great spot for a romantic date in the evening, perfect place to chill with friends in the afternoon. Highly recommend the tastings - especially on Wednesdays! If you get a chance to take a class DO IT! You'll learn so much!“
“They have good beer options, cocktail selections and shots. The atmosphere is really amazing with a couple of couches and tables. Wall decoration, coloring and lightings are beautiful. Bar seating is also available.Parking: Street parking is difficult at evening and nights due to busy area. Street parking is paid until 6:00 pm.“
“I can’t believe I never reviewed this restaurant. We eat here regularly at the restaurant and for takeout. The food is delicious for adults and for children. My son really loves the salmon teriyaki and the veggie sushi; I love their unique appetizers / tapas and their sushi. Reliable and one of the best restaurants in Castro and Noe.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“
“The best sandwiches, drinks, and smoothies in Nob Hill! They have breakfast and lunch items. We come here for breakfast all the time.Get their Lavender Latte (or any one of their smoothies!) and Bacon, Egg, Cheese Everything Bagel (my husband likes the English Breakfast Sandwich) - they're to DIE for!!!Everyone is extremely friendly, kind, and the service is prompt and professional!“
“My taste buds have never experienced such a gastronomic delight as they did at Barcha Mediterranean Restaurant! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with open arms. Every dish that was served brought us closer to food heaven, making every second we spent there an unforgettable experience.To kick off our culinary journey, we indulged in the mouth-watering Moroccan Cigars - a flavor explosion of lamb, mushrooms, gruyère, and cinnamon, paired with a tantalizing tamarind-mint chutney. And let's not forget the Barcha Spreads - a magnificent medley of baba ghanoush, labneh, muhammara, hummus, and bazlama that danced on our tongues.For our main courses, the Persian Tahdig was the true star of the show, with its crispy saffron rice, duck leg, onions, barberries, fried egg, harissa yogurt, and herbs. The combination of crispy rice, juicy duck, and crispy onions was a symphony of flavors that left us weak in the knees. And the lamb shank leg with couscous was an absolute knockout, with tender meat that simply melted in our mouths.As if that wasn't enough, we were served the divine Affogato - vanilla soft serve, and espresso, were delicious, and the Chocolate Cake was a sweet ending that left us wanting more.Although the lighting kept adjusting during our time there dim to bright and keep going from our stayed from 6 pm - to 8 pm, it was hard on our eyes.All in all, Barcha Mediterranean Restaurant offers more than just a meal - it is a journey through the Mediterranean region's culinary delights. Every dish served was a masterpiece, and the warm welcome made us feel like we were part of the family.“
“Stopped here for a quick lunch while visiting family at CPMC. I enjoy finding different cuisines when in SF and Piroo was a great find. While they don’t have an extensive menu, they have more than enough options to suit any tastes. I had the pork jhol momo and it was great. Just the right amount of savory and spice to make it memorable. They also serve beer and wine to round out your meal.“
“A unique brunch spot. I had the pandan waffle and fried chicken which was tasty. The waffle was cold and a wee bit soggy but good flavour. Someone else had the bo luc lac and the beef was super duper tender and juicy but also very sweet. The shrimp Benedict was quite good and the chicken sammie was good but the star of that was the French fries they were spectacular. The service was friendly and good. There's no atmosphere but still a place I'll go back to.“
“My and my family were only in S.F. for the week. But Coqueta was by far the best dining experience we had while there. I have been to California a couple of times, and it's this was one of the most memorable restaurant experiences yet. It's the level of customer service that puts this restaurant above the rest. Alma, the manager, really made sure all the issues that Nicholas told her about our table were resolved immediately. They even gave us some additional treats on the house as an apology for if im being honest issues that weren't that serious. But none the less our aunt who lives in S.F. swears by Coqueta, and I now know why. Thanks for the great memories, Coqueta!“
“We love going to Terzo-it never disappoints. Atmosphere is good-lighting excellent with a nice buzz to the room. Our server we've had multiple times and the continuity in staff says a lot . We split the arugula salad/grilled asparagus /meatballs on polenta and split a main entree the Greek chicken -with the exception of the aspragus which was pedestrian everything else was terrific-highlights were the meatballs/polenta and the Greek chicken—there's always something new on the wines by the glass list -had the Chianti Classico and the Timorasso-server was terrific as usual-we'll be back-“
“I started with Ensalade de Palmito (heart of palm salad). Very balanced and light salad. I loved the delicate taste. Then Hueso Asado (bone marrow) was cooked right. Medium rare Hager stake was great. My most favorite is Alcachofa (charred artichoke). Amazing marination and taste. I will definitely come back.“
“I’ve dined here a couple of times and I’ve enjoyed my experience here every time.First, I should say that if you see churros on their menu, go get it! Do not miss the opportunity because sometimes it’s not available. The churros were so delicious, especially with the chocolate dipping sauce it comes with. The textures are spot on - crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside.I’ve had a couple of dishes and so far I enjoy the broccolini and the bread with quince paste. I recently had their one item charcuterie board and a pork meatball and it was a perfect dinner for me. The cheese I chose was an aged manchego cheese and it was perfect with crusty bread and quince paste. I just wish there was more quince.And the wine selection is awesome. I’ve always enjoyed every wine I’ve had here. And the staff are very helpful in explaining each one.So the concept of El Lopo is if California was still a part of Mexico. And their menu reflects that. The wines are unique - something you wouldn’t see in the average menu. So don’t be afraid to ask.They have sherry-oke nights and trivia nights. I’ve been to a couple of trivia nights and they’re a lot of fun! It can get loud during those nights.Otherwise, it’s usually pretty chill. I dined on my own and enjoyed people watching.This local bar is so cool and you should definitely check it out if you like good wine and snacking on tapas.“
“My friend recommended I check this place out. What a wonderful experience. It is a very cozy homey space great wine, lasagna to die for, small bites and salad were excellent too and great company. Owners are super friendly and fun to chat with. Had to bring my husband there. He loved it as well. And a 20% discount happy hour is cherry on top.“
“Came for SF restaurant week! Started with house vermut, and it was satisfying. Hint of being back in Spain! Serrano - okay, enjoyed the pan con tomate, wanted more. Manchego- comes with 2 carb types, both tasty! Bombas de arroz - fun fritters! Enjoyed this. Croquettes - small, unexpected sweetness! Gambas - poached prawns in garlic chili and crispy bread! Carrilladas - braised pork cheeks, soft and savory! Over a tasty bed of potatoes, peas, and carrots! Crema catalana- the cream brûlée, doesn't required the spoon to crack the sugar topping.“
“The food here was amazing! Highly recommend. We came in for a late seating so it wasn’t overly busy.The maki rolls were very unique and extremely delicious. Get the bluefin tuna sashimi, this is the best dish I’ve had at any sushi restaurant.“
“Every visit or delivery has been a more than satisfying experience.The food is fresh and cooked to order but served quickly.We've only eaten there once but have gotten food delivered many times.The atmosphere is mellow and soothing and unless you look out the window you can't tell you are on Van Ness.Everything is very clean and our waitress was perfect.The chicken teriyaki is a must-enough for two,it comes with just right white rice and salad with a unique,delicious dressing.My absolute favorite dish,I think it's the best I've ever had and we order it every time.There's nothing crazy here,the menu consists of standard Japanese fare meant to be comforting and nourishing.They have a good selection of sushi and it tastes like it was caught that very day.I could go on and on-for a romantic date I highly recommend coming here.(Note-we ate in late Sunday night,not sure how busy it is other times).Our deliveries are always hot,fresh and properly packaged.Love this place!“
“Best damn brewery in SF. This place had a cozy neighborhood feel while being friendly and welcoming to guests from all over. The brewer has decades of experience and has pioneered a true onsite microbrewery atmosphere with a dynamic tap list and simple yet tasty food menu. Perfect for after work drinks or grabbing a 4 pack of freshly made cans to go!“
“This place is a gem! They have great music and excellent cocktails. The house Martini is fantastic. It's the most unique take on a martini I've ever had, while still being clearly a martini. The bartender was friendly and prompt, and provided impeccable service. Highly recommended!“
“Do you like a place that's locally owned, well this is the place. The owner is there working with the staff making sure everyone is having a great time. Great bartenders.The sliders are truly something your taste buds will marvel at. They are presented on an English muffin that's lightly toasted and served with just a little mayo. The shrimp are served in a garlic butter that just makes your mouth water. The chips and guacamole were probably some of the freshest I've ever had, I had to wonder if she picked the avocados off the tree that morning.“
“Great hotel restaurant, but ridiculously overpriced. I met a co-worker for a business breakfast, and it cost me over $60 for myself alone for eggs Benedict, black coffee, and orange juice. It was good, but it was as good as other places where I've paid half that price. Buyer beware.“
“My fiance and I visit this restaurant before a recent concert located at Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants. We ordered drinks and pizza. Both were reasonably priced and were generous serving sizes. The setting was similar to a lounge/speakeasy vibe. It was a beautiful restaurant where we were able to get seated quickly in the early afternoon. During our visit we noticed it getting busier as time went on. If you plan on visiting during dinner hours we suggest that you make a reservation. The quality food, attentive service, and beautiful spacious setting was memorable. We will be visiting this restaurant whenever we are in the area.“
“I don't normally leave reviews on yelp but we had such a great experience I could not not leave a review. We came in 2 min before closing and the owner Bill graciously welcomed us in. We had the white bean soup, beet salad and sliders and sangria. The food was amazing! As we were leaving we had a great chat with Bill and he told us about his 15 year history of owning the restaurant. I moved to San Rafael 4 years ago and this was honestly my best culinary experience. We will be back!“
“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.“
“Starlite has undergone a remarkable transformation, emerging as a sophisticated and trendy destination, unlike its previous incarnation. The ambiance exudes class, with an upbeat and elegant atmosphere that captivates patrons from the moment they step inside.The drinks are exceptional, offering a delightful array of flavors and concoctions to tantalize the taste buds. The DJ sets the perfect tone, delivering a pulse-pounding soundtrack that keeps the energy levels high throughout the night.Having visited multiple times since the remodeling, it's clear that Starlite's previous status as a forgotten, run-down establishment is a thing of the past. Kudos to the hotel for recognizing its potential and breathing new life into this once-dormant gem.Cheers!“
“I normally order the wings, warm Spinach salad, new style potatoes, chicken pallard, and the beans and rice. This visit was a short visit and I was alone and discovered the arroz con pollo. That's going to be my new favorite. It has plenty of chicken, peppers, olives and comes with beans as well!! Yaaasss!!! The white sangria on this evening quenched my thirst.“
“The pizza crust was super crisp and chewy at the same time. We came on a rainy day and enjoyed a seat inside with a view of the bocce court and outdoor area. The music and decor outside the restaurant so close to the water must be a blast in the summer. I’ve never had a raw artichoke salad but mixed in the fennel it seemed like a close cousin. (Fresh and astringent) A pizza + salad made for a good size lunch combo for a couple. The service was friendly.“
