The food was fabulous. We tried all the specials and everyone was better than the previous. Service was spot on, friendly, courteous, but not hovering. Our waiter was so helpful and fun. His recommendations really made for a great meal. The restaurant is decorated wonderfully. It’s just across the small lane from the old Mint in a charming spot. The decor is contemporary and a bit rustic. It was a wonderful evening. Highly recommended.

We really liked it. The waiter was great - helpful and clearly completely conversant with the limited, but excellent, wine list. The five dishes we got were in the very good to excellent range; the two desserts were very good but not great. The radicchio salad was plentiful and outstanding. A couple of blocks from Powell BART. We all agreed that we'd happily go back.

The food was excellent however the waiter was rushing us at every interaction he had with us. It was odd because they told us they had another party coming at 7 but it was 5:50 so we felt we had plenty of time. After being pushed at every step of the way, we walked out of there at 6:30, a full 40 min before the next party was arriving. It was so unnecessary and really ruined our entire dinner experience.

This is the first time dining in the City in three years, and what a way to kickstart it. 54 Mint is an authentic Roman-Italian restaurant with an all-Italy wine list. The food was beautiful on the plate and spectacular (try the Trippa and get some bread for dunking). The Carbonara was the ultimate Italian comfort dish, my halibut was perfect, and the Tiramisu was fantastic!

This is our go to spot before the Theater. No more. There was five of us and none of our meals were good. Two had the fish special which was dry. Two had pastas and both were over salted and not very tasty. And the third had the veal saltimbocca which was just OK. Wine prices have gone up too. Service was great and the atmosphere we love but not enough to account for the mediocre food.

I made an NYE dinner reservation for me and my boyfriend. It was a prix fixe menu consisting for 4 courses. The first and last being a porcini shooter and a hazelnut tart. We were given options for the 2nd and 3rd. I got the rock shrimp and the pork chop, while my boyfriend got the pork belly and the black cod. We also got a glass of wine each instead of the $75/person wine pairing. We were both full by the end of the meal, but felt underwhelmed by the dishes. We both felt that the dishes needed more flavor and seasoning. Service and ambience were amazing, but most likely won't consider coming back.

The impeccable, fastidious service was the first distinction of Mint 54. When the food arrived at the table it spoke for itself. The salad, pasta, gnocchi, bread, and wine were beyond reproach.

Fantastic location. Wonderful service. Wines by bottle are overpriced but wines by glass were reasonable and very good. That’s the good part. The carbonara was a disgrace. Overcooked jumbo Macaroni elbows. Gloppy sauce. Inconsistently cut and cooked pancetta. The cioppino was a special and was described as having a savory saffron broth. Not a hint of saffron. Broth was watery and tasteless. The special halibut was thin, overcooked, and dry.

The food was good (although limited selection), service was excellent, but the climate and ambience were quite poor. It was cold outside, and they left the doors to the upper dining room open the entire time with no heating. Hard to enjoy a good meal with your overcoat and scarf on! Space heaters would be a cheap investment to provide some heat!

The best service in SF and incredible Italian food! :D. It was my husband's birthday and I wanted a nice, chill place to celebrate. The staff was super on top of things (like always filling our fizzy water) but we never felt rushed or anything. Also, as a real delighter, we requested 2 decaf espressos with Disaronno whipped cream...and they made it! Definitely coming back and with more folks!

54 Mint has become a favorite of ours. The service staff are friendly and efficient, -- I don't mean fast, although, they don't dilly-dally; I mean this place operates like a well-oiled machine. The food is elevated but not pretentious, which also describes the entire vibe.

The food was excellent. Traditional Italian. Authentically prepared and served. Service was excellent. Would definitely return. The down side of not given 5 star ambience, outdoor seating does not have any heat lamps. Either electric ones mourned to the cover or the portable gas/propane type which made it very cold. If dining after 5:00PM, definitely reserve the inside table.
