From beginning to end, this experience was one of the best I have had in San Francisco. We were greeted with warmth and generous interest in making sure that our experience exceeded our expectations. This was the first time for us at Sorella and will not be our last. The setting is so appropriate for a restaurant program of this quality... Outstanding finishes, amazing architecture and effortless service throughout the bar and dining room. So awesome to get to view both the bar area as well as kitchen as they were in motion. The service staff were incredible. Absolutely aware of every detail as well each bite we might be encountering. They provided great guidance as well as knowledge on helping us to decide on the road map for the meal. We started with Aviation’s (classically prepared) and a few appetizers that were amazing - little arancini, caesar salad and the two featured cheeses. As we settled in, we selected a bottle of the Il Poggio Brunello which was drinking magnificently. From here we selected two entrees – the agnolotti del plin and the garganelli (beef bolognese). Both were prepared to perfection. We finished off the evening with a delicious pumpkin cake with an oh so divine ice cream…. This will be the meal that we talk about, of course until the next time we are back to dine.

Classic and delicious. The Seafood was fresh and tasty. The beef cheek Stroganoff was rich and flavorful with great contrast of the fluffy gnocchi. Great night out dinner

My girlfriend and I had an absolutely phenomenal experience at Mastro’s! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was exceptional. Every bite exceeded all our expectations. The food alone made this one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had! Our waiter, Pedro, was incredibly attentive and professional, and the entire wait staff went above and beyond. From keeping our water glasses filled and clearing the table to carefully packing our leftovers, every detail was handled perfectly. We also appreciated being seated at a spacious four-person table, as we love sitting next to each other when dining out. The staff made our anniversary even more special with a lovely anniversary dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch. Between the phenomenal food, beautiful atmosphere, and outstanding hospitality, Mastro’s truly set a new standard for us. A huge thank you to Pedro, the management (Brian and Andrew), and the entire team for making our anniversary unforgettable. We will absolutely be back!

One of my continuous go to’s for an excellent steak and service, still shined on even the busiest of nights. When there’s a show nearby this establishment can be a tough reservation to snag and perhaps moreover, a challenge for those willing to take a chance on the waitlist. In any case, Osso is on top of it !! From quiet to moderately and extraordinarily busy, the staff here is excellent at juggling the operational hurdles that occur in any stage of activity. From front of house, to wait, and runner staff, these folks know what they’ve doing and I was especially impressed with their smooth handling of tonight’s, busy environment. The kitchen was on point, as always, both consistent in delivering lovely tasting and presented food. My Caesar Salad, always a triumph here (in my humble opinion) was fresh, crisp, and expertly dressed. I order it every time. The Dry age, New York strip was prepared exactly as ordered, Medium Rare, and on a super busy night, I applaud the Chef and their fantastic folks on the line that make it all happen. Finished tonight with a simple Cheesecake and coffee. Special shoutout tonight to the Bar Staff, they were busy and every seat taken at their station, yet, I did not wait but a few minutes for my expertly prepared Vesper Martini and later, a pour of a lovely Cab 🍷 with my Steak. Quiet or Busy, Osso has been consistent with me and this is why I come back over and over, again. Everyone has an off night now and again but how it is handled, is a true test of an establishment’s mettle. I bring this up mostly to point out that the occasional hiccup that can and does arise is a test of the foundational integrity of the service industry, and Osso has it covered. Enjoy!
