I had a fabulous time at your restaraunt. The oysters were great. Wine list assertively interesting. I would have loved this restaraunt if Sahli were there.

What an amazing experience! The restaurant has an indoor space and an outdoor courtyard area. We sat in the outdoor area - a black and white movie is projected on one of the walls - really cool! The food was amazing - I had some of the best oysters I have ever eaten. Highly recommended!

After a third time at Foreign Cinema, it is time to pass on what we realize about great place: its fantastic all-around. The best way to describe each of our experiences there; not a bad bite or moment to be had. Farm fresh food, excellent generous portions without being obscene or trying to hide quality. Both a fish and meat lover's restaurant (though I would say great meat dishes and very good fish dishes). A fun atmosphere with time to talk and time to take the scene in, with a wait staff that appears and disappears appropriately. Great cocktails, and extensive wine list. Perfect for bringing anyone visiting SF and wanting a unique West-coast style restaurant that won't disappoint.

Excellent food and service and the atmosphere cannot be beat. Make sure, if you want to be outside where the movie is playing, that you specify, because they have a large indoor dining room as well (though the food inside is just as good, if you don't need the movie).
