Great outdoor dining space. You feel far from others, but still apart of a social dining experience. They have dining areas in the Embarcadero entrance side and on the Stuart entrance side. Have always loved the food (and the cocktails) at all Perry’s locations!!! And our service was fantastic. There was a 1 hr and 30 min time max currently due to COVID, but that is more than enough time!!
Excellent service. Good food and drinks at reasonable prices. Looking forward to returning.
Good food, good service, great location. Definitely recommend!
This might be the worst restaurant in SF. Ribs taste of plastic. Fries taste microwaved. Don't be fooled by the Google reviews. Stay away.
Great service as always and they’ve done a great job with their outdoor dining space. We were plenty warm! Food was great!
Given the circumstances of COVID, we were impressed with the responsiveness of the Perry's staff. The arrangement for outside dining was well thought out, providing each table adequate distance. The outdoor heaters, planters, and screens made it cozy, while making you feel safe. Diner was delicious. We has calamari, Ny Steak & Pot Roast, perfectly prepared, as well as dessert. The server was attentive and providing excellent options. I'd return.
Perry's is a go-to for casual, delicious food. Has a good variety of menu items so it's a great spot to take guests who have very different preferences. The service is great and they have a nice outdoor dining area facing the Bay.
Been here several times- it’s chill vibes, Tasty food & good drinks. And I may I just say thanks to the kitchen for ALWAYS serving piping hot food! Appreciate that!
To start, we got the tomato bisque which was really good so we were excited for our mains that sounded good. Our main meals looked and tasted like a TV dinner. Not worth the money or time.
Really wanted to enjoy it, been a long time not dining out due to covid but unfortunately, we were quite let down. Maybe other meals are good, but I don’t recommend.
Very nice lunch overlooking so many people walking along the Embarcadero.
Patty is the best bartender ever.
Thank you for the great review! We hope to see you again soon. Warmly, Margie B. Owner
Patty is the best bartender ever. It was so nice to see her for Mother's Day,
So glad you were open.
Patty is the best bartender/server and seeing her on Easter Sunday was delightful and guaranteed pleasure.
Perry’s is always great. I wish we had one in the east bay.

Thank you for your great review, Joseph! We hope to see you again soon. Warmly, Margie B. Owner
Our server was inhospitable and not trained. He reluctantly took the remains of the butter dish left on our table but never brought us a new one! Honest! He did not present dessert menus to our lady guests . Simple desserts took a long time to serve . I am a long time customer who may not return. No sight of the manager at all!
Eddie, thank you for your review, and I'm so sorry to hear this. What you described is not at all the usual warm and friendly service, as you know from being a longtime guest of ours. Please send me a private message so we can chat a little more about your visit. Thank you! Warmly, Margie B. Owner
Perry's is our usual go-to at lunch. Always consistent. We've been seated towards the front of the restaurant the last several times but this time I asked for the booth or table facing the Embarcadero! They noted the request, and voila we had a nice booth. Food and service are always consistent. Thank you Perry's!
Thank you for your great review! We appreciate your loyalty and hope to see you again soon. Warmly, Margie B. Owner
It’s our go-to place and call it the “Clubhouse”. Great vibe and excellent food. I love the petrale sole dish and the martinis are the best in town. In addition, they have half-off wine nights. For many reasons, this restaurant is truly one of the best around.
Thank you for your great review, Lolly! We hope to see you again in the future. Warmly, Margie B. Owner
Great lunch for our group. Excellent food and fun ambiance.
Thank you for your great review, Greg! We hope to see you again soon. Warmly, Margie B. Owner
Service was very slow. We ended up going to the front and pay our check.
Janinao, thank you for the feedback, and I'm sorry to hear that the service was so slow. It looks like we let you down in a couple other ways as well - please send me a private message so we can chat about your visit a little further. Thank you! Warmly, Margie B. Owner
Perry's-Embarcadero is my "go to" choice when I have friends coming into town. My friend and I went for Saturday brunch and, as usual, the service was excellent and the food very good. You can't go wrong whether you have a taste for breakfast food or lunch. The burgers are amazing! Delicious, juicy, and just the right size. My friend enjoyed a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs, avocado and bacon. Yum! I'll be back again soon!
Thank you so much for your great review and kind words! We appreciate your loyalty and hope to see you again soon. Warmly, Margie B. Owner
Perry's is a happening bar with an excellent restaurant in a great location. The well-stocked bar delivers both routine drinks and top drawer craft cocktails. Weather was unseasonably beautiful when we were there in February, so we spent two evenings seated outdoors on the Embarcadero side facing the harbor and Bay Bridge - absolutely perfect! The menu is varied, and food deliciously prepared and promptly served. I enjoyed the Petrale Sole Meuniere, a San Francisco classic. This is a great place for anytime dining, business meet-ups or date night. I highly recommend it to locals and visitors alike!
Thank you for your great review, David! We hope to see you again in the future. Warmly, Margie B. Owner
Always enjoy eating at Perry's for good comfort food. Was surprised that on a Wednesday night every table seemed to be taken. As with most restaurants in SF, when there are large parties, the noise level keeps rising.
The only complaint was when placing the reservation on Open Table we indicated that it was a Birthday celebration, but no mention was made of it at the restaurant.
Thank you for your great rating! We apologize that your birthday message was overlooked, but we hope you had a great time with us. We appreciate your feedback, and hope to see you again soon! Warmly, Margie B. Owner
Good service, the food is delicious.
Thanks i will be back soon
Thank you for your great review, Sandra! We hope to see you again soon. Warmly, Margie B. Owner

Thank you for your review and feedback, Jessica! We hope to see you again soon and I'm confident that your next visit will be back up to our normally high standards. Warmly, Margie B. Owner
Corn beef hash was very salty and tough. Bagel and lox sandwich short on lox, doughy plain bagel.
JWS, we're so sorry to hear this! Please send us a private message so we can chat a little more about your visit. Thank you! Warmly, Margie B. Owner
Very accommodating of our grandchild in a stroller!
Quick service too.

Great service! Quick turnaround for our pre theatre meal which was very tasty.
Thank you for your great review, Efren! We hope to see you again soon. Warmly, Margie B. Owner
Food and service is always consistent! I like sitting in the booths or toward the back of the restaurant but somehow always get seated in the front where the tables are tightly spaced.
Thank you for your great review! We hope to see you again soon and we'll endeavor to seat you at a table that you prefer. Warmly, Margie B. Owner
Strongly recommend this restaurant because the service was fast, the ambience was perfect and the food was delicious! Will visit again when we’re in SF!
Thank you for your great review! We hope to see you again soon. Warmly, Margie B. Owner
We went there for dinner and breakfast the next morning. Dinner was fabulous!! Breakfast was ok.
Thank you for your great review! We hope to see you again soon. Warmly, Margie B. Owner
One of my dining experience pet peeves is ordering an appetizer or start dish and hoping it arives before the meal. I had to inquire about our appetizer because there seemed to be a long delay bewteen the request and the delivery of the dish. This was topped by the meal order coming out before the appetizer being finished, which required it to be returned to the kitchen. Overall, the meal was good, dessert was great, and I'd go back for a special occasion.
Thank you for your review and feedback! We'll be sure to look into what may have taken so long with the appetizer, and we hope to see you again soon. Warmly, Margie B. Owner
Great location, solid food and our waiter was attentive without being overbearing. Just right on all counts.

The server was off her game and provided reluctant service.
I'm so sorry to see that we let you down! I'd very much like to get some more details about your visit so we can look into what went wrong. Please send me a message at your convenience so we can chat a little further. Thank you! Warmly, Margie B. Owner
As a longtime San Franciscan, Perry's is close to my heart! The excellent food and friendly attentive service are a welcome respite from this crazy town.

This is our “go to” place and we love it!
Thank you for your great review, Jan! We hope to see you again soon. Warmly, Margie B. Owner
I like Perry's for service, good food and reasonable prices. The staff is fast and accommodating. There is a wide choice of options on the menu--salads, meats and fish, breakfast items, etc. They are all well prepared in my experience. They even have specials some evenings. Compared to the downtown hotels which now want $25 for bacon and eggs, Perry's price is a much better value. I would not call it quiet, but you can still discuss things without much trouble. Overall a good value for a variety of good food quickly served.
Thank you for your great review, Tom! We hope to see you again soon. Warmly, Margie B. Owner
Wonderful anniversary experience for us! Waiter was exceptional and kind. Margaritas exceptional, Petrale sole fantastic as always. Yummy brownie dessert. Thanks for a great evening!
Thank you for your great review, Bob! We're glad you enjoyed your times with us and hope to see you again soon. Warmly, Margie B. Owner
