Best Fun Restaurants in Van Ness

Delicious food, great service and atmosphere! Especially appreciate the allergen menu. Will return again and recommend to others.

Initially the experience was decent although our drinks were not that good. Then we noticed a swarm of ants circling our feet. We told our server and she was very nonchalant and said it was because of the food. We only have chips and guacamole. Anya were crawling under and around our table and near the wall where we were seated. I think it was more disturbing that the server was so uncaring and then rushed to clear our table off.

The food was delicious - all the dishes, and good servings. Even a simple Caesar salad was exciting with a somewhat spicy twist to the dressing. Dessert was remarkable. Drinks were very good. The servers and everyone who worked there were so pleasant and helpful. It's a delightful find, and parking and access is very easy.

My second time at Talea and I'm already looking forward to my third. The decor is warm and beautiful with something for every palate on the menu.

This was an expected treat. Emely greeted me with such warmth and kindness ….it made me feel like I’d been a customer for years. The entire staff was superb. Everyone was personable, attentive, and courteous. I had a delicious Tuna tartare appetizer, which consisted of a series of well-balanced flavors. Nothing overpowering the tuna (granted, I asked for the sauce on the side) and a Hendrick’s gin tonic. This is a must go-to in NoMa!
