   Delicious food and superb service. The lamb and pork were amazing! The bartender took our drink order which I appreciated! He came to our table to ask and was so knowledgeable about the cocktails and wines. The servers and manager were so attentive and friendly. Loved it!

   Excellent food in a warm and cozy environment. Good service but not intrusive. Even though the restaurant was full the noise was fine and you could hold. A conversation could be held at a normal range. The octopus appetizer and pork loin main course were excellent. For dessert treat yourselves to the bunuelos.

   What an absolutely magical Christmas Eve dinner. Arrived early. Nestled ourselves in a darling cozy waiting room and had a cocktail. Had persimmons & the roasted carrots for a starter. Sublime. The wait for the roasted chicken was well Wirth it. Dessert, French press and espresso helped us make it through midnight church service. Wonderful food. Attentive staff. Great location.

   Christmas dinner with friends at a neighborhood quaint restaurant. We had a table for seven and sat in the back of the restaurant. The back area did not have the ambiance like the front side of the restaurant. We ordered many dishes. Everything was good but none of the dishes were outstanding for the price. The restaurant forgot our paella dish but we ordered too many so it was fine. The chicken was dry.

   My wife took me here for my birthday on a Sunday night. The owner, Michael Pawlik, greeted us at the door and said, "Happy Birthday". We requested a quite table as the main dining room was lively, and I'm hard of hearing. We were offered a table in a separate dining room and had it to ourselves for most of our evening. We didn't feel particularly hungry, but the menu had many tasty sounding items, so we ordered 4 small plates and one main course. Since this was our first visit to Abrazo, I asked our waiter if we have overlooked anything that is a specialty and shouldn't be missed. Our food arrived, beautifully presented, and extremely delicious. We had just returned from 3 weeks in northern Italy and our elevated palette's we not disappointed in the least. By this time, I had forgotten that we were not hungry, and I immediately added to our order the Bone Marrow from the small plates menu that our waiter had recommended earlier. Don't miss it, please! The selection of Spanish wines is very good. Some Michael orders directly from Spain and you won't find them in your local Enoteca. I finished my meal with an espresso martini. Our waiter recommended the vanilla ice cream with rosemary and caramel. OMG!!!! I cannot wait to go back! We had walked to dinner from our hotel near Union Square, which means we walked for 25 minutes up to Nob Hill and across Russian Hill to get to Abrazo, and we walked back to our hotel because we wanted to savor the experience of the evening. One last thing. I've never written a review for anything, but Michael and his crew deserve to be recognized and rewarded for what they are achieving here.

    First time. We decided to try Abrazo because of its high rating. It exceeded expectations. The albondigas (meatballs) were the best we've ever had! The scallops were prepared beautifully. We will definitely be back.

    Great ambience with exceptional service. The food was delicious! We ordered an entree of halibut and small plates ( butter lettuce salad, oysters and scallops). Presentation, food quality and over deliciousness were 5 star! I ordered the coconut sorbet w/lime for dessert. Perfect! Not crowded at 7:00 pm. weeknight.

    Abrazo is a hidden gem in the Russian Hill neighborhood. The food was fantastic and delicious with moderate portions. We started with grilled octopus and the house cured salmon. Then we had the exquisite lamb shank and the half-roasted chicken entrees. All tasted amazing. Reservations are almost a must on a Saturday as it's a smaller venue. Amanda our server was excellent and attentive.

    First time here and it was such a cute vibe! Great place for all occasions and they have a secret room in the back with more seating. Service was great and very welcoming. I was able to call and push back our reservations due to traffic without any issues. Our server was attentive and quick. Croquettes - cute little fried balls of creamy goodness. Cutest presentation too! Bone marrow - first attempt came to us undercooked but they took it back quickly without hesitation. The second attempt was so good and had lots of marrow! Pork pâté - those who like olives will enjoy this more than I did (personal preference!) The olive taste was a bit strong for me as I was hoping to taste more of the pork pâté itself. Braised lamb shank - this thing was pretty massive and glad it was shared! Super tender and the acidity from the tomatoes brought it all together. It was incredibly warming and the perfect autumn dish. Their grilled bread with the starters were perfect! We did not order drinks or dessert due to time restraints. Would dine here again. Bring a friend or two and try a variety of their starters and share a main. It was the perfect amount of food for two of us.

    Fantastic experience all around! I originally saw Abrazo while riding the Hyde cable car past it a couple of years ago (pre-pandemic) and I have been meaning to try it out for a long time. I don't live in the neighborhood though (I'm way down in the Southwest corner of SF), so it took a long time to finally make it happen. We chose a Wednesday night, and I rode the #45 bus from downtown (it drops you off right at Abrazo), and my wife met me there and found rock-star parking right in front on Hyde St. So, we were feeling lucky (and positive) from the very beginning. We had scheduled an early reservation at 6:15pm and were the first customers there. The staff greeted us as we walked in and made us instantly feel at home. We had a glass of wine before we sat for dinner and got some great wine advice. They let us taste a couple of the Spanish wines that we were unfamiliar with at no charge, and we settled on 6 small plates and a bottle of excellent Spanish white wine. The food was fantastic, artfully displayed, arrived promptly and they were great about keeping all the dairy products (cream, cheese, etc.) on the sides once we warned them of my wife's allergy. As the evening progressed, more and more people arrived, and the noise gradually grew, but it never got loud enough to make conversation hard. I highly recommend Abrazo and will be returning again soon. It's totally worth the trip across town.

    Abrazo is a wonderful restaurant. The menu is small as it should be. That way you know everything on the menu is excellent. And it was. The fresh oysters were good. The potato with chicken soup was outstanding. Don’t miss that one! It’s a great bowl of soup, unique and flavorful! The pork pate was great and a solid portion for two. The grilled persimmons salad was tasty. And the paella and petrale sole entree were perfect. We also liked the cheesecake and ice cream desserts. We say Bravo to Abrazo!

    AbrazoResponded on September 7, 2022I was confused over this review, so I pulled your receipt from last night. For your group of 6 the bill was $369 before tax, your group consumed 10 cocktails.
