- WWillaSan Francisco Bay Area •12 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI’ve been going to the HOPR for decades! The food and service are always impeccable. The noise level changes with whatever parties are seated near you, but they’re happy noises. This last time we were informed that the policy of receiving a second slice has changed, and then we were asked if that changes what we ordered. It’s okay, prices go up and staff gets a raise, I get it. In the end, we will come back again and again!More infoHouse of Prime RibPrice: Very Expensive• Steak• Civic Center / Hayes Valley / Van Ness•4.8
- DDustyVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •7 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFantastic food! Everything was so fresh and flavorful. Absolutely delicious food. Service was very friendly and helpful. There were two birthdays that night, and the staff did a great job making them festive. The only downside is the noise level. All the mirrors really make the place look great and spacious, but there’s no fabric or sound padding to absorb sound. The place was full, and it was difficult to have a quiet conversation.More infoThe ParthenonPrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Downtown / Union Square•4.6
