Restaurants near AMSI Pacific Heights (AMSI-SF.PHLY179B)

We hadn’t been there since the pandemic and we were delighted that the food is still excellent. the budino dessert is not to be missed!

Wonderful food. As with most Michelin restaurants, the portions are a bit small

Everything was wonderful (as usual) except our server. He wasn't pleasant or friendly. Previous servers knew we were there for our anniversary, said Congratulations, asked how long we've been together, took a picture of us etc. He had no interest in anything except getting our drink and entree order. Not a nice fellow or interested in making us feel welcome. Example; there was no napkin at my place setting and I politely asked for one. He walked by, put one on the table and said "here ya go" and kept moving. I said "thank you" but all I saw was the back of his head moving away. A good server would have offered an apology for the oversight, immediately corrected the mistake and said to the customer thanks for your patience and understanding (or something to that effect). He made me feel like I was bothering him. Contrary to our disengaged waiter there was a busser guy who was awesome! He was open and friendly, joyful, and accommodating. He liked his job and wanted to be helpful. Our actual server, not so much. My wife and I openly wished the busser was our server. If I knew the busser's name, I'd say promote him. The only time our waiter was even remotely kind was when he put the bill on the table. So, when it's time for the tip, guess what? He was very nice! Wow, imagine that...

Excellent dishes and service. I ordered the lamb shank, and it was absolutely fall-off-the-bone fantastic. I’ve been to Presidio Kebab several times, and it keeps getting better. Excellent quality food, plated in food magazine fashion, with flavors that burst in my mouth. My family and I will be going back for New Year’s Day 2025. /s/ Alfonso Faustino

Food portions small. Tasty but not worth $28 for a small bowl of penne pasta with ragu sauce. Boring gnocchi salad was small at $18.
