The food was underwhelming, me and my friend got the tuna which was under-seasoned and the extra bread was a little over toasted, mentioning chilli beef fat lacked flavor and body. The overall seasoning of the dish was not balanced and monotone. The Caesar salad one which I have had several times before, was a huge let down. It did not have any seasoning and highlighted only flavors of the egg yolk, wet lettuce and Parmesan. Quit frankly I felt sick after this. The beef was cooked unevenly and did not taste very much of dry age although the flavor of cooking on embers was good. The potato was exceptional as always anchored the koshikari rice was amazing. I definitely did not want to eat dessert due to the underwhelimg start to the meal. I had higher expectations from the restaurant I have loved so much.

We were greeted with an anniversary card signed by the entire staff and a splash of bubbly. Our waiter was so friendly throughout the evening. From the oysters, through the fried collar, the amazing radicchio, the whole seabream, the mushrooms and the rice, the pace was perfect, the bubbly kept flowing, and not a single note was missed. My husband and I will return and we will encourage our friends to do the same. All told, a perfect dining experience.

I've dined at Angler perhaps dozens of times since its opening and it's consistently been at the top of my favorites throughout the years. All the preparations that go into each dish are there to make the main ingredients shine. Simply put, it's delicious, it's family style, and it's time to get everything on the menu.

Overall ok experience, food was decent worst one was the potato dish. Starters were good. Not a lot of dessert choices only sundae which was decent. Service was good and view was amazing to the bay bridge. Not worth the $160 and a 20% service fee.

I had a wonderful experience dining here with my husband this evening. We booked the earliest dinner time (5:30) and we were seated at the other side of the restaurant away from the noise and chaos in the main hall. We were given a gorgeous seat with the best views in the room (floor to ceiling windows and pillows for comfortable indoor seating). Coat check was available and multiple waiters were present to help serve us promptly. It was a delicious 3hr meal mainly because we ordered the experience menu (it came in 3 different options and we chose the $200 one) and they served us a pre-fix meal set called “let us cook for you” where they basically choose what to give you (minus restrictions of course). Food was great, service was excellent and price was decent for what we received. We did not finish our meal and we brought it home to enjoy for the next day. My husband and I had a great time and we highly recommend! Ps. Music was-to my delight- 90s jam. Xo

This was my first time and my friend and I opted for the preFix experience. We sat outside and everything was very well appointed. The food was delicious and the the staff was very pleasant. My only complaint about the service was that we were asked if we’d done the prefix before and when we said no, there was no further explanation of what the meal was (number of courses, what was being served, etc). This would not have been as much of an issue if we weren’t handed a massive wine list and asked what we wanted without any idea of what we were eating. I’d recommend either offering an optional wine pairing or sharing more info about the menu. There was a sommelier on staff but we didn’t actually get to meet him until our dessert course. Again, everyone was lovely but this one detail did take away from the overall experience.

Front of the house had a ROUGH night. Brought out two plates we didn’t order. Waitstaff looked at us like we were crazy. They were clearly lost. Never even got the beans we ordered so just cancelled. Had a birthday at our table and they flubbed that too. The food on the other hand was fantastic as usual. That potato is to die for. I’m sure the servers are new as is the case in a lot of places right now. Here’s to hoping they get that together because we love this place.

Had a wonderful lunch at Angler. The food was amazing. Michelin dinner quality food at lunch with service that made us feel like VIPs. Thanks to the kitchen for accommodating our special request! I have been to Angler multiple times for dinner. Great to feel able to replicate the same experience at lunch. Angler definitely is a go to for high end dining at lunch.

For a one michelin starred restaurant - def dissapointing. Even with reservation, you got seated 15 minutes after the time because youre table not ready yet, and worse part is that you have to wait 45 minutes between your appetizer (parker house roll) served until your main course came😅

Shared the Endive Caesar, Embered Oysters with Smoked Chili Butter, and Bluefin Tuna Nduja & Buttermilk Bread for starters and then shared the Hot Fried Halibut Sandwich and the Angler Game Burger and really enjoyed the diversity of flavors and execution. Fantastic wines by the glass list along with some fun non-alcoholic selections. Will definitely be back.

Went the last night before the madness and shutdown. And grimaced a bit when the previously not-unusual spiel was given that all dishes are meant to be shared. The radicchio salad is a standout unique signature dish! Everything tasted and was presented well, though some of the dishes sizing is a letdown. View of the Bay Bridge is wonderful.
