About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Innovative
  • Good for groups
Presidio is an evening hot spot that serves drinks and California-inspired cuisine in a sophisticated setting. The restaurant features fun cocktails and a nice variety of California wines and beers. Presidio's Barbary Coast cocktail with genever, Cocchi Americano, Suze, poppy seed and lemon is a real treat. Share small plates at Presidio like beet salad or steak tartare or go all in with meaty dishes such as bone-in pork chop or venison strip loin. Anything the restaurant cooks in duck fat is an indulgence worth every calorie. An after-dinner drink of Irish coffee makes for a nice nightcap. Examples of what you will find on Presidio's Sunday brunch menu include a spicy Mission Mary cocktail and Thai shrimp and grits.

    The food was delicious. Loved the feel of the place, very cozy. Service was good. My dinner was a bit on the salty side, but it was very good. The small plates are great for sharing! Would go back

    2nd visit in a week! My wife owns neighboring boutique VINTAGE CHARM a few doors down and we've been meaning to try Presidio for a while. the two of us went there Monday (no reservation) and LOVED IT! The pappardelle is outstanding as was the pork chop. Decided to bring the family back for our son's birthday dinner Thursday. Excellent the 2nd time as well.

    The food was good and the drinks were great. The ambiance is great hip and modern. The only thing I didn't like is I felt we were being rushed though our courses. I didn't even have time to order another drink when i realized the bill was already at the table. I will probably go back for apps and cocktails only.

    trendy place with cool cocktails and good starters. the mains didn't sound too special, so we ordered a few small plates. they were all well prepared and tasted great. the service was perfect, but it wasn't too crowded when i was there.
