Jim Scott: Always great food and drinks, exceptional service, and great views of the ferry harbor.Our server, Jim, is a real pro - on top of his game. The house barrel aged old fashioned is always a must have. We've been there several times and have never had anything less than fantastic.

Lazy Bear: what do users think?

Adam Vieira: Of course it was delicious, why wouldn't it be? It was a unique experience with the field guide notebook menu and nostalgia centered experience. The 5th star comes from the service. Not only was it the best, most comprehensive service I've ever received, but after the meal I was given tips and recommendations about the neighborhood, and later in the night I randomly ran into a couple of the chefs at a bar and they recognized me and made references to specific events from the meal earlier in the day and were generally extremely nice and funny and friendly, even after they were required to serve me. Wonderful experience all around. I would recommend it to anyone.

isabelle C: The food is here amazing start to finish. The desert is was so delightful. I loved all the food here and when I went, there were a lot of fish dish and all of them were great. It was rich in flavor but still not heavy. The staff makes you feel comfortable. The service is amazing because they are not stiff and yet make you feel very attended. The atmosphere is fun like dark cabin in the mountains like cozy and grand. I will for sure come back in the future.

Jeff Sharp: OMG. This was my best dining experience ever. Not only because of the amazing menu. The service was absolutely amazing, and the staff was so friendly and happy to share information about each dish and glass. This was an extremely special night for us and we will be looking forward to visiting on other special occasions in the future!!!

Foreign Cinema: what do users think?

Nadia Wit: I made my reservation a month ahead of time for my darling's Birthday. He is a picky chef who loves good food and I love movies-- We arrived and the host was very kind and accomodating. He had a bday card ready to go!!! The waitress was lovely and when I ordered the Ahi she made sure to let me know that there is a beef jus on it and that it was optional! Thank goodness as I wouldn't have known this and I do not eat beef. It was delightful. The oysters and lavender cheese dish were also fresh and delicious. We all enjoyed everything we ordered. I am really happy I chose this place for a bday and look forward to coming back for the next occasion.

Mark E: 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.

Fable: what do users think?

Wendy k: Been coming to Fable for years, usually as a quick lunch date or dinner with my husband. Excellent food and execution, fantastic ambiance, I've only ever sat in the garden, which is gorgeous and covered. In addition to being a excellent restaurant they are also great people who support the local community. They made a donation to my daughter's school the Village Nursery School. They are extremely generous and I can't recommend them enough.

David Ellis: Service was great, atmosphere relaxing, and the food was excellent.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian lasagnaDietary restrictions: Low carb

linda reib: Fable is a great little cozy neighborhoods bistro with also garden outdoor seating. Staff is nice and comfortable. We were seeking comfort foods and they did not disappoint. Lore was our waitress and was patient and thorough in explaining meals. Her recommendations were perfect..the lamb special and vegan lasagne...so yummy. The little gemCeasars salad was perfect with a delicious dressing and Parma cheese. Thank you Lore for your attention and making sure we were pleased. The gentleman who met us was also smiling and co.pliments to the cook! We will be back

Horsefeather: what do users think?

E. L.: I went with my best friend and we just had the best time. Even though we went early to avoid the crowds, they kindly put us in a little nook so it felt like we had our own little space. We really enjoyed the fried chicken and you can't go wrong with their duck fat fries. We had Elaine for our server and she really was just absolutely fantastic and made sure we were taken care of the entire time even when the crowds started coming in. Highly recommend!

J Faull: Recommend making a reservation if you want to sit inside with the plants. They had room for walk-ins on the patio area outside, which I preferred since it was loud inside. Cocktails & food were delicious!!!Vegetarian options: Mushroom risotto was really good & they can do it vegan if you ask!

Alchemist Bar & Lounge: what do users think?

Monica Rangel: Good place to have a drink after the game!Recommended dishes Something with Vodka …

Cynthia Colas: I love the decorations at this bar so I would describe this venue as a 10/10. The venue is super decked out in a tech/alchemist type of vibe. Almost like the type of thing you would come across watching Full Metal Alchemist. The drinks are also amazing and the appetizers are great as well.

Brittany Romick: Cute little cocktail bar. Service was a little bit slow for the bigger groups, but overall good 1st experience.

Joshua Foltz: Very cool spot, steam punk theme and great, unique, cocktails🍸 🍸

Delancey Street Restaurant: what do users think?

Kaitlyn Newman: Wow. Went here late in the evening after a long day. The service was amazing. The restaurant had a very high scale look so we were pleasantly surprised with the authenticity of the wait staff. Portions were bigger than I was expecting for the low price and the free bread was a wonderful treat. The cook on the steak was perfect. Only after did I learn that this facility is used for training members of the Delancey Street Foundation. What a special place.

Pamela Vong: Solid comfort food at very reasonable prices.

Liholiho Yacht Club: what do users think?

Sylwia K: . The ribeye steak was well-cooked and a generous portion; enough to share for 2.

Daniel Funk: The food and dining experience were incredible.Duck liver mouse banana bread deliciousBeef tongue steamed bun incredibleOcean trout sashimi amazingPork shoulder entree was out of this worldThe only items I would skip for next visit are the mochi custard dessert, odd texture and not enough custard vibes, and the groundskeeper cocktail, too lemony for my taste, I was hoping for something more old fashion like.Definitely would come back again.

Annie Evans: This place is absolutely delicious!My favorite dishes were the ahi poke app, snap pea salad, and the pig head app that was a delicious Brussels sprout salad.I could’ve done without the curry dish but everything and everyone was incredible. We sat at the bar and had a great conversation with the bartender. Definitely a fun, delicious chiller vibe.

Mario Dos Campollo: A fantastic meal, every dish hit. Liholiho is a terrific Asian fusion restaurant nestled in Nob Hill neighborhood. The pig head was my favorite, it paired well with zesty-ness of the Brussels sprouts. The swordfish was fried perfectly, it was crispy on the outside and moist inside. The rice was excellent. Putting the care for something as simple as fried rice can really make it special. The beef tongue was tender and delicious. The staff is knowledgeable and extremely attentive. They helped with our special night and made it even better. In my opinion, I think Liholiho is missing some Michelin stars. Dos thumbs up 👍👍Dietary restrictions: Let them know before so they can accommodate.

Lore Dp: Came here to celebrate my birthday and I’m so happy about my choice. Food was fantastic; it felt like a good mix of experimental and traditional dishes. Highly recommend the catfish katsu and the gulf shrimp, but everything else was also great. I was also impressed by the service, not only did food come fast but our waiter was so friendly and provided great recommendations. It has become one of my favorite spots in the city. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

Sotto Mare: what do users think?

Sayana: If you're a seafood lover in San Francisco, Sotto Mare is an absolute must-visit. This unassuming gem tucked away in North Beach delivers an unforgettable seafood experience that will leave your taste buds singing.The cioppino is simply the best I've ever had. The broth is rich and flavorful, brimming with a medley of fresh seafood – Dungeness crab, clams, mussels, shrimp, scallops, and fish – all cooked to perfection. Every spoonful is a symphony of flavors that will transport you straight to seafood heaven.But the culinary delights don't stop there. The Sanddab is also must-try, cooked to perfection, very light and delicious. Sotto Mare's oyster shooters are a revelation. The plump, briny oysters are perfectly complemented by the zesty cocktail sauce, creating a delightful explosion of taste that's both refreshing and invigorating. It's the perfect appetizer to kick off your seafood feast.The service is warm and attentive, and the atmosphere is lively and convivial.Must visit!

Marlisa Rebaum: Delicious!

Azúcar Lounge: what do users think?

Vanessa Santa Cruz: Was in town on 4/20 for a trip to catch a Giants game. This place was waking distance from my hotel. But the bartender that night was 👌 all his suggestions were on point. Carnitas quesadilla with cucumber. Sounds odd, but it’s delicious with a surprising crunch to it. Recommended Soild Ground Hefeweizen and was one of the highlights of the night.

Waterbar Restaurant: what do users think?

Marcela Diaz Gamboa: The most favorite Margarita #Mango

Moronie Fall: Went to waterbar for my birthday dinner with hubby. The vibe is very romantic with the low lights. You do have view of one the bridge and it was beautiful at night. Food wise the waiter recommended the braised short rib which my husband loved and I did the stuffed lamb loin it was good but not what I was expecting as it sat on some sort of flat but very flavorful. I also did the tiger prawn cocktail. The shrimp themselves were yummy but the cocktail was not it, it tasted like wasabi and had a very strong taste and flavor. Not sure if that’s how cocktails usually but that’s not what I was expecting. Overall good. The only thing is the waiter was a lil bit excessive coming to check on us but he did get me a lil birthday treat 😋

Quince: what do users think?

Kartier: A stellar, luxurious experience. High class and fine dining at its best. Quince has retained a coveted 3 Michelin stars for several years, so expectations here are high. With that being said, service started very slow right off the bat. It took us about 5-10 minutes to be greeted, which is a long time considering how much you pay here.Nonetheless, the prix fixe was fabulous. Dishes were beautifully curated and bursting with flavor. You really get to know the head chef with his unique approach to using fresh, California vegetables. The asparagus in a hot water kettle is a must experience dish, the best asparagus of my life and it’s served with a fried hard-boiled egg portion.Be sure to try cocktails or wine. We were delighted that they were able to make a Quince martini that we enjoyed on a previous visit. Overall, I’m glad we tried! Very different from a New York 3 star Michelin restaurant - plus they send you off with hot coco and bonbons.Cons: the 22% service charge along with SF fee’s are quite obnoxious. This restaurant has higher service charges and fees than any other Michelin star restaurant in the country…but I’m not sure it’s reflected in the service as it could be fine tuned.

Andy Woo: ."Downgrading" to average 4 stars. I tried to be very objective and not let the 6 star experience from 5 years ago affect or unreasonably set my expectations too high that any imperfections would be blown out of proportion.The food was excellent. But there were minor subtle things. The service was great. But there were minor subtle things. The atmosphere was not on par to previous to the renovation.Food: excellent food. Minor: one of the asparagus dishes. The main asparagus served from the infusion glass pot was slightly over cooked.Service: The principal server was great. Professional, polite, friendly. One of the non-principal servers

Lorena Hecker: I just love Quince. It's delicious, surprising, a welcoming place to be at. The menu is very tasty, service is friendly and knowledgeable and helpful.Quince just went through a re-launch after remodeling. The new look is lighter, larger windows. Do check it out.They have a full tasting menu, a shorter 4 course tasting and a lounge menu.
