What a fun discovery out the back door of the Hampton. The place seemed over the top friendly then down steps to the basement dining that was over the top in ambiance. The menu, food and service was excellent.

For vegetarians the menu is very limited. We had a delicious crostini with cheese topping. Pasta with mushroom sauce was adequate but not exciting. The ambiance is good and Mint Plaza is worth a visit for music and people watching.

54 Mint is one of those San Francisco gems that became a favorite as soon as I walked in with my family. The atmosphere is casual with definite date-night vibes but also welcoming to families. The staff is friendly and know the menu and the wines and drinks and can recommend a winning combination. I had the lamb and it was excellent. The pasta is delicious. They have a nice bar, upstairs, downstairs and outdoor dining so whatever your mood, you'll find the right spot. If you want a restaurant that hits all the high marks for ambiance, quality, great food, perfectly attentive staff, good drinks, great wines -- 54 Mint is your place. One note - it is, as you would guess, near the old Mint building so can be a little sketchy but it's near a drop off spot so easy to get to and you forget the outside world once you enter the warm, welcoming 54 Mint.
