    What a fabulous experience. The food was absolutely delicious. The ambience was perfect too. However I’ve been to other places where this was true and the service was so terrible, I would recommend or return. BUT Greens - your staff are amazing. Cathy was our server and she went above and beyond, even lending me her phone to look up transport options to go to our next place to visit. She was friendly and helpful, but all without being overbearing. The service made the meal even better! Thank you Cathy.

    Gumbo very bland. Veggies poorly cut. They tried for crunch but still not cooked enough so the raw taste was strong.

    The menu looked amazing, but the actual food didn't live up to expectations. There was nothing remarkable about any of the dishes ordered by our party. The wine was average, service was acceptable, and the ambience left a lot to be desired. After 5 years in the city this was one of the remaining vegetarian and vegan friendly restaurants on our list to try. Sadly, I wouldn't return or recommend Greens.

    Greens has excellent, tasty vegetarian food. From what I hear, some of it comes from Green Gulch Farm Zen Center, as the SF Zen Center runs Greens. I took my friend there for her birthday, and we had a great time. We had a view of the bay, as most seating there does, too. I had the fig and arugula pizza, which was outstanding and very filling. I do wish the waitress had had more time for us, but overall, a great experience. And, as a student of Thich Nhat Hanh, I don't agree with Greens' policy to sell alcohol, which isn't in keeping with the 5th precept.

    We had the BEST PIZZA EVER!!! My friend and I split a pizza topped with figs, arugula, caramelized onions, goat cheese, asiago, and pecorino cheese, and toasted walnuts. It was unbelievable! The crust had three different kinds of grains which gave it fantastic texture and taste. There is no place like this on earth.

    I wanted to love a special meal at Greens, due to it's storied reputation as a great vegetarian restaurant and its nice atmosphere. We found the entrees to be just so-so with the exception of the pasta dish which was yummy. The server was having a bad night and was unpleasant. The starters came together with the first course so the meal felt very rushed and we filled up before the main course. For the price, and celebrating a big birthday, we expected a bit more culinary imagination.

    Beautiful view of the Golden Gate. Wonderful to have vegan options when I visit SF. Loved the beet & potato soup! I ordered some to go as well. My partner did not like the cocktail drink, server never followed up if we liked the drinks. ( he left entire drink on table & server did not notice) She was busy, so not so attentive. But lovely food & restaurant

    We had Friday lunch outside at Greens. It was great! The patio is nice, with heaters, and dog friendly. Tables have ample room in between. Service was really friendly... with only 2 tables of customers outdoors, it wasn't super attentive, but we were quite happy with the relaxed pace. The food was fabulous.... every item we ordered, including the flavored water, was mouth-watering.

    The vegetable soup was 10/10 but the eggplant/ciabatto sandwich had lots more bread than eggplant and fillings and the eggplant had been breaded and fried/baked before adding it to the sandwich was a lot of carbs. Not very tasty. Decaf cappacino was watery and the coffee tasted old.

    We arrived a half-hour early for a Saturday 6p reservation and asked for a table at the window table; hostess seated us immediately at the last unoccupied window table. Unprompted, our server asked if we were celebrating a birthday and, hearing that we were, brought us champagnes tastes for toasting and, later, a candle lighting up the dessert. In between, the cocktails were delicious and first courses and a second were fine but the bread to accompany the salad was a revelation. We will return.

    The desserts, interesting tea selection, high quality house salad and fascinating burl sculpture, w the artist’s grandson actually seated beneath it that night, were the highlights for me. I tasted my dining partner’s mushroom Ragu. I would’ve sent it back for being tasteless but, he liked it. Go figure. The bread and miso butter was memorably yummy. The lemon sorbet on our deconstructed peach cobbler was great. The peaches were canned but, were still high quality (probably canned by them) and the cream was yummy. I think the entire bill for three of us with me just having a salad and the others having entrees, 3 mocktails, two appetizers and two desserts was $260 w tip. Kind of steep given that I did not think the entrees were amazing. I enjoyed being there and I think the guest of honor, felt honored. We could hear each other when talking so, overall it was a win. The food is made with care and love and clean ingredients, which is why I think I’ll come back anyway.
