The Barrel Room: what do users think?

Hank Johnson: , was fabulous - attendant, but not overly so - and very helpful describing some of the items on the menu and helping me with an after dinner amaro. I went light with a bowl of lentil soup and a seasonal salad. Both well prepared and delicious. The rest of the menu looked great. Hoping to fit in a return trip before I head home. The only one slight drawback was the noise - it was a little loud for my taste, but certainly not enough to keep me from returning.Vegetarian options: Lentil soup was vegan. My salad was veggie and perhaps vegan- not sure about the dressing.

Wook Chung: Barrel room has a bit of secrecy going on. At first sight, you barely see any dining tables and it feels like a wine bar. It made me think perhaps there is another restaurant with the same name. But don't be fooled. Walk through the bar and there is about 10~15 tables in a cozy alcove.Barrel room brings you Chilean and Argentinian, somewhat tapas-like, cuisine, paired well with a healthy Argentinian malbec selection that complements the food well. Again, reminding you to absolutely pair your food with malbecs.The fish dishes including the ceviche were okay. Nothing special. The fish croquette even felt a bit grainy. Dates with bacon were amazing. But everything was forgiven with the wagyu steak. Absolutely gorgeously prepared, well crusted and marinated, with fabulous potato and salad. Not sure if this was Argentinian beef but simply mindblowing. And yes, with the malbec!And yes, the desserts also were tasty!This is a great place for business drink and meals. Awesome find and will be back.

Absinthe Brasserie & Bar: what do users think?

Michael Dvorkin: A great place for a cocktail, a glass of wine and a fantastic meal. The menu is amazing. The food is delicious. Even the simplest dishes are executed to perfection tion with a special twist. Love this place

Swaila Rasoully: My husband and I are visiting from Upstate NY and this restaurant was recommended by my cousin who lives here. The ambiance was chic and romantic, the food was delicious, and the service was great! Our waiter was helpful and answered any questions we had. It was my first time having French food and escargot, I enjoyed it very much! We had a lovely evening.

Morgan Jane: because I think the quality of service has slipped. We recently went there for my birthday with a couple friends and we ordered a bottle of champagne. The server brought the bottle, had us look at it, then opened it and poured everyone a small glass, but the champagne wasn't cold. It put me in the awkward position of letting them know it wasn't cold and asking for an ice bucket with a lot of ice so we could chill it. I'm not a fancy snob, but at a nicer restaurant like Absinthe I feel like if you order a $100 bottle of champagne it should at least be served cold; the server should have realized when they touched it that it wasn't cold. It was a bummer because we had to wait a long time for the bottle to get cold enough to drink, so all four of us sat there during apps without drinks which is no fun. A few of us ordered cocktails. Eventually we got impatient so we ended up drinking it while it was still kind of warm. This felt to me like a sign that they don't care as much about the customer experience as they used to. I'll go back of course, but I'm going to wait a while as this left a bad taste in my mouth

Aquitaine Wine Bar & Bistro: what do users think?

Cezar Kusik: Greatly underrated place with a fine selection of wines and awesome food offerings. Must try duck pastrami!Food: 5/5 …

Andrew Stock: Had a bit of time, so walked the Castro in SF. Happened on Aquitaine and was drawn in by the atmosphere, couches and homey decor. Not many folks at 4pm, the staff seemed like good friends enjoying working together. Pleasant music, so I decided to try it. I got the special, a reasonable price for the area. I’m glad I tried it, and am inspired to recommend it.

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 😋

Bouche: what do users think?

Trash Roberts: Always a great meal! Staff is friendly and a great wine list. Chef is great and helpful and I love sitting at the bar when solo. Always a stop when coming through San Francisco. Highly recommend.Thanks Chef! Pork Chop was great, sorry I don’t have room for dessert. The Gigondas was fantastic.

Katie Hopkins: Amazing experience and fantastic attention to detail from the staff.Gregory helped me make selections for all courses and found the perfect wine to accompany my meal.Highly recommend adding the bread plate. It seems simple, but it had the perfect contrast of soft pillowy insides with toasted crisp crust. The butter used was so creamy and complimented it perfectly.The Adventurous appetizer was a fun and quite different opener to the meal. It definitely could have served 2-3 people so I was quite stuffed by the time I got to the end. I enjoyed the opportunity to guess what I was eating. It was so good and I was definitely surprised by what it was!While I’m not usually a fan of French onion soup, theirs was incredible. The cheese was complimentary instead of overwhelming and bread retained its crispiness throughout.I had the Cornish hen with potatoes and mushrooms as a main, and I was impressed with the variety and pairing of the mushrooms to the dish. They were hearty but not overwhelming. Including 5+ types of mushrooms gave a delightful contrast to the rest of the dish.The Chantilly cake had perfectly crispy edges and was the right weight for the end of such a rich meal.

Robert McLain: Had a lovely Valentine's dinner at Bouche. Service and staff were wonderful and the atmosphere quaint and delightful.Dinner was a Prix Fix affair which was very good, but couldn't show off the full strength of the kitchen. Included a delicious cauliflower soup, a small simple salad and a very good, if small Lobster Thermador. Desert of a chocolate cake or cheese plate rounded out the dinner with an excellent wine pairing.The seating is tight, but the atmosphere delightful. We will return!

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.

Beretta: what do users think?

Juan Manuel Martinez: Food quality is bad, the portions are good but the menu itself does not offer good options. The drinks menu is ok, the place itself is pretty and the ambiance is good. Do not order the ossobuco, the taste is really badKid-friendliness: They have highchairs but no kids menu

Charlie Mooney: Recommended dishes Dungeness Crab Arancini with Calabrese Aioli

Ryan Ness: and got the lasagna and also a pizza and I give it an A+ also mezcal cocktail was good. Hopefully will be back next time I'm in town.

Alicia Wilson: , caesar salad, brussels, pizzas, and the TIRAMISU. Yes, they've changed the tiramisu recipe recently for when you dine in - I prefer the old way. Yet, won't knock off a star, They deserve all the stars!

Travis E: The food was really good! Kind of on the higher side but certainly worth it's price. Very cool place and well appointed.But the service was "ok"We waited 5-10minutes to get water. Another 5 or so for someone to come even take drink orders. Service not up to par and letting down a great location and cooking.
