Diner Reviews

"Great place to celebrate a special occasion. The three of us were celebrating and wanted a special restaurant. One Market was perfect. The ambience was excellent - subdued, clubby elegance. Food was excellent - interesting choices, well prepared, and beautifully presented. Wait staff was very helpful, pleasant and responsive. Had questions for wine steward, and were very happy with interaction. Not inexpensive, but well worth the price. Would definitely recommend."

"I've been clients to lunch at One Market for as long as I can remember. It the best lunch hot spot in the area and people are always satisfied with the food. However, in the last few months a bad attitude has crept into the front desk staff and it has become not only noticeable, but embarrassing. Our recent client, who is a well-known SF socialite, remarked: "If I had someone on staff with that attitude, she wouldn't last the day.""

"This was my eighth or tenth visit to One Market. The food wasn't up to my recollections of previous visits. There were a variety of choices on the menu. We had the grilled trout, which was nicely grilled but accompanied by a too-oniony parsley and shallot gremolata and some broccoli rabe. The fish was fresh, firm and tasty, but the dish was too oily overall. My companion had the tater tots, which looked crispy and nicely browned. I couldn't help noticing that the next table sent their plates back only half eaten. On the other hand, service was very nice. Our host was very welcoming and friendly, our waiter helpful and charming, and other wait staff very efficient. It was much too noisy to converse easily."

"This restaurant used to be great, but its gone way downhill. My most recent meal was fair at best and included mistakes that shouldn't be made in a restaurant of supposed caliber. The salad was extremely overdressed and had wilted and scarred greens, some of my asparagus stalks were burned and others included the inedible woody portion. The ling cod was well prepared. Our server was a very nice guy and efficient, but his cross selling and power of suggestion tactics made me feel like I was at TGI Fridays. I blame his managers for this. In short, its not surprising they lost their Michelin Star. I do hope they get it back."

"my salad and rabbit dishes were very good and unique, my wifes crab cakes apps were excellent and her sturgeon was very good but the mushrooms that came on the plate and under the fish were not hot, or even warm, cool and that should not have been. Steve our server was excellent"

"This is no longer a Bradley Ogden restaurant however, he still has an 'association' with them. The ambiance is very nice, views out to the Embarcadero. Service is very attentive and server was relaxed and fun. The food however is another thing. We ordered crab cakes ( 3) which were the size of a quarter and a little bit of greens on the side,.....all crab and not fried which was different but ok flavor. Caeser salad came next and was very underdressed but could have been good properly attended to. The biggest disappointment was the entrée size grilled halibut which was very small, way, way overly salted and a la carte meaning, if you want something else on the side, it is extra. The kitchen needs to pay better attention what comes out."

"Nice restaurant - interesting and good food. Easy to get to on BART or Muni.. I enjoyed it but won't go again. The reason: All of the servers were male. They were ethnically diverse, but all male. Given that San Francisco is half female I can't believe that they are not discriminating against females who apply there as servers. Yes there was a hostess but no servers. In a place where tips are high it is outrageous that they discriminate like this. So though it was a nice restaurant, I won't patronize it again until they make their hiring practices fair."

"This is a great choice for anyone looking for good food at a reasonable price. Great anbience in a high energy restaurant with excellent service. Our food was preented beautifully and the service was impeccable. Good selection of starters and entrees and the dessert was a perfect ending to a fantastic evening. Would recommend tyhis for business entertaining or an evening with a friend."

"One of my favorite eating places in SFO. The food has never disappointed me. Lucked out on this visit as they had a Dungeness crab festival. The crab cakes were absolutely fabulous as was the crab with pasta! The braised lamb shoulder was cooked to perfection......melted in the mouth! The staff is also fabulous....they make you feel welcome, just like old friends! Love this place!"

"One Market has always been a reliably good choice! The service and the food are both fantastic."

"Food was good. Portion was too little. I ordered the crab cake appetizer and was surprised with three tiny drops of crab meat. The grill trout was good but was disappointed with the portion as well. A $90 lunch for two and we were not even full. Way overpriced."

"Our waiter was abrupt with us and rude when we said we did not want to order dessert. Loved dungenness crab month though! We were stuffed."

"Good restaurant, excellent location at the foot of Market, right by the ferry terminal. Very nicely decorated, very quiet. The food was good, not great. The selection of entrees was nice, but nothing particularly noteworthy. I had the pork tenderloins, which were okay, nothing special. I'd go back again to try other dishes. Definitely worth a try."
Dined on 2/17/2014
"Overall the food was good however they really need to get someone who knows how to make homemade pasta. The cavatelli was very dense and hard could not eat it!! It should be tender and light. I was very disappointed because the crab sauce or gravy was very tasty and there were large pieces of crab. The service was very accommodating and polite."

"Food was good. Service not very good. Very long wait between dishes that were warm not hot. Ordered a martini that was not served and good thing it was not on the bill."

"The food is the reason we keep coming back. The experience of the staff and the dining room are the icing on a special evening. They start with an ever changing menu but are very accommodating with special diets or requests. Sit at the kitchen bar to add to the atmosphere of a great night."

"Waiter was inattentive, he forgot our wine, then did not poor in timely manner. Took too long to bring cheese plate, my napkin was on the floor when I returned from restroom. Food was ok. I had crab cavatelli.. Too salty. Overall not great."

"Coming from a hospitality background, I have high expectations of the restaurants I visit. One Market exceeded those and more. The service and quality of food were amazing. I would come back in a heartbeat."

"While in town for a conference, we arranged a dinner with family members in the area for Lark Creek Restaurant Group's 25th Annual Dungeness Crab Festival. The restaurant offers a nice ambience. At dinnertime, the lighting was dim, but not so dim as to make it difficult to read the menu. The noise level is on the high side, though. The food was very good, but slightly on the salty side for us as we tend to salt our food lightly. Members of our group had the Caesar salad, Hand-picked Dungeness crab, Dungeness crab glazed petrale sole, and Dungeness crab & house made cavatelli. One Market has a nice wine list and our waiter was helpful in offering suggestions."

"It will be the best if the foods are less salty , other than that, the environment and service are great!."

"Trendy restaurants come and go, and favorites lose their edge. I was very pleased to learn first-hand that One Market remains as fresh and interesting as the day it opened. The menu offers a very broad choice of interesting food choices, and because of its "local" sourcing it pairs its food with mostly local wines. It all works very well. Our server, in describing the food choices, went a bit farther than I needed him to go, but if your interest is knowing the food preparation techniques to the finest detail you will not be left wondering. I welcome a restaurant where the ambient noise is low enough to allow conversation without shouting. One Market offers a lively room yet relatively low noise levels. I like the balance struck."

"Had the Dungeness Crab-glazed Petrale Sole, Pan-seared Red Snapper, Pan-seared Day Boat Scallops, and those are listed from best to worst in terms of how all three of us at dinner would have rated them as we all shared. We also had the Dungeness crab cakes (Gluten Free!) and Hand-picked Dungeness Crab for apps which were both excellent. Wine was great, food was great, and despite my gluten intolerance we had no issues as the waiter went and checked with the chef for every item he didn't know for sure on, I was especially happy to find out the crab cakes were held together with an emulsion of scallops! The whole meal with wine and dessert and tip all came to around 250 for the 3 of us... All in all, very worth the money, and great bday!"

"Vibrant after work bar scene. Quiet tables for drinks available, too. Quiet, elegant dining room and Top Chef Food. Delicious seasonal crab dishes, rabbit, duck, and some vegetarian included. Perfect for Business, friends or romance. Lunch is fun and delicious here, too. Excellent, gracious staff who see to everything, always watching out for you, but leave you alone to chat."

"Delicious crab cakes and red snapper cakes. A "cakey" kind of experience with a $2 martini thrown in. Great food and very fair prices for a restaurant of this high statute."

"Avoid the flounder - overcooked and rubber-like. I would have sent it back to the kitchen, but I didn't want to offend the friend who'd recommended the restaurant. Then I had to waste time convincing Open Table that I actually arrived for my reservation because the hostess was too busy to process our arrival. I had expected a much better experience."

"We dine out frequently, although it's been a few years since we've been to One Market. It was concerning to read quite a few Open Table reviews (prior to us booking) that commented on questionable service with just OK food?!?! We took a chance and clicked on "Find A Table" (wink). Here goes: Valet $12 * Hostess just OK * Waitstaff was very attentive & friendly * Ambience felt a little corporate, large room / ceiling * Food was VERY good * We opted for the 3 course for $39 & wine pairing $13 (not kidding or a typo!) Amuse Bouche, Beet Salad, Duck then Desert * We added a Duck Terrine appetizer $11, Pellegrino $7 and a Cappucino $5 for a VERY palatable total of $127 (before tax & tip) * We sat at the Chef's counter (highly recommended)."

"We recently held my husband's birthday dinner in a small group at One Market. We were treated with genuine respect and authentic caring. The food was gourmet (not huge portions, BUT FILLING), and very very good. The wine list was all domestic, and we found a memorable bottle from CA under $50 for our table to share. My 11 year old son attended, and was treated like royalty (multiple Shirley Temples brought out without needing to ask for another and a fun make-your-own sundae created from the ice cream dessert on the menu for him). It is a gorgeous restaurant on the inside, and in your in the heart of the action in the Financial District. I had not been back since the late 1990s, and It's still just as good."

"pushy waiter - kept trying to offer us more items that we clearly didn't want. also brought the wrong drink, said he would bring the correct one but never did. the food was good but the waiter almost ruined it."

"One Market sure has lost their mojo. The restaurant was cold as was the service. Overall, the food marginal at best. One main dish was good (petrale sole with crab) but that sadly was the only good part of our brief dining experience. So cold at our table that we had to leave before having dessert...deciding to head to another venue for a much more quaint ambiance, warm service and excellent dessert options. Sorry to say, we won't be back."

"Wonderful romantic atmosphere. The pork tenderloin was incredible, the perfect combination of salty,(bacon) smokey (pork) sweet (sautéed apple) and bitter (sautéed dandelion greens) this is one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. The service was impeccable, wine list very good, menu selection incredible. We would recommend this restaurant for a special romantic dinner"

"It had been about 6 years since my wife and I last visited One Market and we are happy to report that it continues to deliver at a high level. The food was wonderful. My beet carpaccio was a fresh and flavorful start to the party. We both ordered nightly specials - the lamb chops and the rare, medium slice leg of lamb. Both were fantastic and well presented. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgable, but once the wine and bottled water were opened and initially poured, he didn't touch either again. A small nit for an otherwise perfect dining experience. We won't wait another 6 years before returning to this well-run dining spot."

"One Market is located in the Financial District, so it's full of business folks and tourists and often gets overlooked by locals looking for a nice evening out. One Market is one of my two favorite go-to restaurants in San Francisco (the other being Bix). The food is spectacularly fresh, the cocktail menu creative, and the atmosphere almost festive. I met up with a friend passing through SF, completely forgetting it was Dine About Town. I ordered the Deluxe Menu, and wasn't disappointed. The melt-in-your-mouth tomb tuna carpaccio, the duck with a mole-like sauce was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the incredible (shared) desserts - white chocolate creme fraiche panna cotta and chocolate soufflé cake. Good, fresh food perfectly executed!"

"Mediocre and expensive oysters. Laughable amuse bouche. Very expensive. You pay for location and ambiance not food. Not my thing."

"We arrived via ferryboat to enjoy a leisurely lunch. This is a busy restaurant at lunch time, but we were greeted and seated within 5 min. of our reservation. Our waiter was attentive, and friendly, and thoroughly professional. My husband enjoyed his little gem salad and then, steelhead trout. My Caesar salad and the crab cakes that followed were delicious. Our choices were not exotic, but the food was well-prepared and nicely served. The choice of wines by the glass was not long, but well-chosen. We split a delicious and decadent chocolate cake covered with almonds. The French press coffee was outstanding. What a pleasure -we will return!"

"We enjoyed a selection of delicious appetizers, which was price appropriate rather than full size main dishes which could be more expensive. Our waitress was outstanding , even to seeking me out on the street when one of us left a charge card behind! The person seating us was most sensitive in finding just the right table -- view and quiet! This all made for a wonderful evening for three friends get together."
