Parallel 37

Great breakfast ( although I miss the banquet) , friendly staff , that's why we returned!

Amazing food, service and ambiance... Just wish that they would've told us about the NYE dining price mark up. We paid $500 when we were only expecting about $350.

We definitely plan on returning in the future where the average is about $95pp.

I thought the food was nothing special especially for the exorbitant price they charged on Christmas day. I won't return and cannot recommend it to others.

We came from Reno to spend Christmas with our daughter and her husband. We decided to have Christmas dinner at Parallel 37 because of the great reviews. Everything was perfect with the exception of a crying baby during dinner. The only disappointment was the way the people were dressed. This was Christmas dinner in a high class hotel restaurant and it looked like a Denny’s. I wish you would consider having a dress code for special occasions.

Our server was outstanding. The food was exceptionally good. The bill, however, was very high - much more than we had anticipated due to 2 prior Christmas Eve and Day meals here. And a mother with a new baby had not learned yet that when the baby is fussing and then crying very very loudly throughout 3/4 of our meal, you take the baby out of the restaurant & do NOT disturb everyone else's dining enjoyment on Christmas Day.

It was amazing! The duck was cooked perfectly! The desserts, delicious! The server was very informative and helpful. Thank you! We’ll be back!

The food was amazing. I cannot say enough about the creativity of the entrees and the delicious flavors. This would be a foodie mecca. However, the ambiance was a bit stark and lacked the coziness that would lend itself to slowly enjoying a meal and sipping on wine. Coziness matches tantalizing tastes. Austere matches dishes with little imagination and border on traditional. The bartender and staff were thoughtful and engaging. Service was perfectly timed.

The young chef is very talented and passionate about his cuisine you can taste it in every plate. The noise level is really low which is so rare in San Francisco that is worth mentioning !

I sat at the bar because I was dining solo. The bartender was friendly, informative and provided great service. The food was delicious and each course ordered was described by the server when it was delivered to me. An amuse bouche was an unexpected, delicious way to start my meal

Quaint spot near Union Square to grab a bite, especially during the holidays. Lightly attended the early December Friday night we were there brought some early concern that was obviated quickly by the excellent waitstaff service & solid menu and thus resulting dishes. The signature seared calimari was excellent as advertized, though the steak was a bit light on flavor. Great oysters on the half-shell paired well with the oxtail pasta & basic but tasty wine-by-the-glass list.

Chef Michael and his amazing team nailed it! (once again)

As a foodie, who travels for work and knows chefs and great spots, I am amazed that this place is not packed, day in and day out. Maybe because it's at the Ritz Carlton Hotel? In NYC or London, it doesn't matter where the restaurant is as long as it's good. What if it was a food truck, then the locals would come? Come on people, get over it...

Chef Michael is one of the countries best chefs and the location, food, presentation, and wine list are top draw. Amazing dinner with friends and co-workers. I see this place getting a Michelin star soon!

Get out there SF!

Excellent food and service. Very creatively prepared and served. Zach, our server, was outstanding with food and wine recommendations and made the evening very pleasant. Crab tacos, seared octopus, lamb and halibut were outstanding. Cheese plate for desert was excellent. Great evening.

Don’t let the fact that this is a hotel restaurant fool you. Great bartender, service was impeccable. Food was 10/10. Fresh oysters were to die for as was the lamb.

Seated at a great window table, albeit chairs designed for tall people. I had the delicious seafood risotto which I paired with a DuMOL 2013 Chardonnay served by the glass. Wait staff very attentive. Do make a reservation.

Excellent service and artfully prepared delicious food. All you would expect from a restaurant on a Ritz property.

Had the tasting menu. Everything was executed in the usual amazing manner! The food was outstanding and cooked perfectly.
Chef Rotondo and his team of quite capable chefs prepared the dishes to perfection.

Tasting menu was average at best

Amazing breakfast and so professional and nice people work here!!! I like everything about this place! Plus their kombucha!!!

Dear San Francisco restaurants, please take note on what an outstanding customer service should be by checking out Parallel 37. Comfortable seating, friendly servers, who went far and beyond expected, amazing mouth-watering chef's tasting menu. Five stars all around. Thank you, we will be back for more!

I had a terrific breakfast - a veggie frittata, sausage and toast . Everything was perfect including the unobtrusive service .

Amazing food. Delicious and beautifully done. Excellent service and friendly staff. Would love to return.

Service was very good, but the initial service wasn’t anywhere near the Ritz-Carlton gold standard. Menu looked excellent, but only two vegiarian options: avocado toast, and oatmeal, both at $16-18 left me and my guest hungry and disappointed.

At ritz, really great!!

We came here for my husband's birthday and we were not disappointed! The ambiance set the tone for how the eveningwoild go. We ordered the chef's tasting menu and it was worth the price. We recommend this spot for special occasions and we will definitely be returning.

After a serious flight delay the wonderful staff made our dinner a relaxing as well as a delicious experience. Thank you!

Modern décor and modern cuisine connect in this space. The food has actually improved, there is greater attention to mouth feel and texture, and the flavors are more nuanced. Service was attentive and engaging, and made our evening a delight. The Chefs Tasting Menu was a modern whirl through the world, textures and flavors and presentation that spoke of a caring and thoughtful palate in the kitchen.

Unfortunately nothing special. Not bad or good. Server was great.

Plating was VERY outstanding. I couldn't stop being excited about what the next plating would look like. However, I did request that I did not eat certain meat and one dish was something I could not eat. However, I passed it on to my boyfriend since I was getting full anyways. But regardless of the tiny mistake service was GREAT.

First time at Parrallel 37 and I was quite impressed by the food. Surprisingly good - in fact great. Will certainly go again to try more.

Lovely restaurant with great menu for a special occasion

Found on Open Table based on reviews and location to hotel. The restaurant is a very small bistro with great service and amazing food. The menu may be a little limited; but that just means the food they prepare is amazing. I’d recommend the Crab Cake to start and the Toulouse inspired cassoulet! All in all a good night out.

Amazing service. Everyone was personable, respectful, attentive, knowledgeable, and gracious. Everything about my boyfriend and my dining experience was exceptional.

Ambiance was not what I liked. Far too 'hip'. Very noisy. Not a place for a romantic dinner. You really cannot have a quiet conversation here. The food was fantastic however. Some scmuck next to us ordered a hamburger . . . . oh well.

Good food and good service. But this place is crazy expensive.

The food, wine and service were on par with what you’d expect from a restaurant in the Ritz Carlton. The restaurant was moderately busy but very quiet. They don’t try to cram extra tables like many SF restaurants. The menu was diverse enough to satisfy just about any taste.

Great food and service!!

We love everything about this restaurant. They made us feel so special! Love everything about this restaurant!!

We loved it
Great servuce

My best restaurant in SF

The food and service were good but they seated us (party of 2 for anniversary) at a table for 2. The lighting was very bright, not cozy or romantic. It felt more like a hotel ballroom than a restaurant.
