Restaurants near AMSI Buena Vista

Food is consistently amazing. It’s a classic for a reason. It’s loud in there so think about seating as yelling across the table is challenging. The beginning of the meal felt rushed this time but it did not detract from the experience, we just needed to slow ourselves down vs giving in to how quickly the service was moving us.

Che Fico is consistently amazing. The quality of the ingredients, the flavors, the cocktails and wines, the service—the whole experience—is spectacular every time. It may seem expensive, but you will not regret it one bit.

The friendliest restaurant in town! Really took care of us. We were seated in the parklet and were totally comfortable and well cared for. Delicious food from start to finish! Shout out to the starters. They make their own butter. And save room for dessert. We didn't but had it anyways and wouldn't change a thing.

Foreign Cinema is by far one of the best restaurants in San Francisco and throughout the years they have maintained the same quality level. The food is beautifully presented and the innovative flavors are a pleasant surprise to the palate. They have something for everyone. The crew is very well experienced and their recommendations for wine pairing is always right on. Don’t be surprised if they bring complementary dishes. We have been dining at Foreign Cinema since they open and we will continue visiting them.

Fable is one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants in the Castro, my go-to. I love their patio dining, and the food is consistently good. This visit did not disappoint. The service and our server were fabulous. Our group ordered the pork chop, which was the hit of the evening. It was juicy, full of flavor, and served with roasted Brussels sprouts and sweet potato mash—a great combination. Someone ordered the cheeseburger, and it was good, consistent with prior visits. The only item we wouldn't order again was the cioppino. The person who ordered it said the soup lacked depth and complexity, and there was no crab in the dish. Overall, it was bland, even after they added the house-made habanero sauce.
