"I live in Cleveland, OH and this was my first time to San Francisco. A co-worker told me about The Stinking Rose and should put on my list of places to eat. He was right! Excellent!! If I ever get back to CA, I will definitely eat here again."

"I love garlic. My husband loves garlic. The Stinking Rose offered our safer favorites and new adventures for very reasonable prices. I must admit I felt like a walking advertisement when we left because of the lingering garlic smell. I will definitely be returning with more mints in hand."

"I've been there several times and this last time was one of the best. We were seated in a back section that has little private tents around each tabe. Very fun. And the waitress was really amazing."

"We were celebrating a special occasion and they surprised the person with a nice dessert and a jovial round of happy birthday. Service was slow and we felt very rushed - the servers were taking our appetizers before we were finished. One of us had to arm wrestle a waiter for the water jug. We love this place and intend to visit again despite these little issues."
