   This place is a bit overpriced. The food is good but everything is very salty, could not finish each dish. Instead, I had to drink a lot of water during dinner. Also, it seems the restaurant does not have enough staff. The waitress seems too busy to notice our demand. Had to wait for a long time for food, water refill and also the check.

   great service ; Smoked trout wasn’t as expected - cooked rare to medium rare ; almost no one at restaurant - strange on a Thursday night 8pm.

    The chef's tasting menu was reminiscent of Iron Chef, Battle Trout. Unfortunately, trout is one of my least favorite fish and the chef embraced trout's distinctive flavor. I'm sure that trout lovers would have been thrilled.

    Very accommodating of our dietary needs. Some of the best food I’ve had in years. I don’t eat desserts often but felt I needed to try the cobbler and I was glad I did. The staff is amazing and very knowledgeable. I will be going back for a cocktail at the bar tonight.

    This is the perfect restaurant for a pre-dinner show if you're going to The Warfield, The Curran, or in our case the ACT. We had a 6pm dinner reservation and finished our 3 course prix fixe meal by 7:40 for a quick two block walk to The Geary Theatre. The food, ambience, experience, and service were delightful. I couldn't believe it wasn't packed (Covid ), which is why I'm writing this review. This restaurant is attached to a boutique hotel and the ceilings are high and the tables are amply spaced. I felt very Covid safe even though we weren't dining outside. This dining room is also perfect for a large party. They can accommodate large groups. I've been to Per Se, Meadwood and other fine dining restaurants. I thought this was a perfect fine, casual restaurant with great food and service. Highly recommend. The homemade bread was also incredible, and I'm not a bread person! Cocktails are also great if you just want a place for pre or post dinner drinks!

    Service was fantastic and attentive. Cocktails and wine also fabulous. It has a cool, old-school vibe that I loved. Only problem? The food was only ok. Except for the bread. OMG the bread. Everything else was just fine. And the apple cobbler at the end was like a weird apple nut soup. But the bread....

    Nice venue though very empty in our visit due to Omicron. Service was attentive and food decent. The standout item weirdly enough was the mixed leaves salad - great combination of leaves plus an super tasty dressing. Scallop crudo nice but tiny (one scallop sliced into three). Branzino was grilled with a tasty crispy skin but oddly came with a miso glaze that did not work well with our choice of side (grilled endives in a cheese sauce) — possibly would work better with the broccoli. We had some perfectly serviceable cocktails and wine by the glass — reasonable choice though the Pinot was faulty.

    We came to Gibson to celebrate my husband's 30th birthday. Due to the holidays, the restaurant was pretty empty - more privacy for us! We ordered the half chicken, the 60 hour cooked beef, and the cauliflower bites. The chutney that came with the half-chicken.. more please!! It was the perfect mix of sweet & savory. The 60 hour cooked beef melted in our mouths, definitely loved the drizzle atop. The sauce that the cauliflower bites sat in - DIVINE!!! We most appreciated that the humble chef came to present his dishes to us personally (I'm sure that's standard practice for all tables but it certainly felt personal), it gave us the opportunity to thank him in person! Last, but not least, we didn't realize that marking the occasion of our visit in OpenTable meant the restaurant actually preparing a birthday dessert with a candle! It was the sweetest little surprise. The perfect dinner with the perfect ambiance, design, and DECOR. 10/10 would recommend!

    Overall, lovely hidden gem in a sketchy part of SF but rating a 4 Star due to entrées being A la Carte and quantity of meal for the price wasn’t sufficient. Would rec ordering a side dish so you don’t leave hungry still.

    We came to Gibson for its proximity to the Golden Gate Theatre w/ 545 reservations, we were the first customers in the restaurant as they open at 530. They immediately offered a PreFix menu for theatre attendees as its meant to be “speedier” according to our server. Over an hour later at 655, all we had was our salad, bread & empty wine glasses. I reminded our server we were going to the show that starts in 30 min & chose the prefix based on his recommendation for a accelerated service. Another 5 mins later we finally got our petite size entrees & overly cooked veggies. We couldn’t get our cobbler included since we now had to leave for the show so they refunded us $16 for the lack of dessert NOT for terrible experience. It was miserable to have to all of a sudden rush our meal then rush to the theatre based on their inability to serve a tiny piece of branzino & stewed beef.

    Had a nice time at Gibson. We were there before a show at the Nico . It was very quiet when we arrived. I think the bartender was the only server, so there were some gaps in service but nothing horrible. Food was good.

    Started with excellent roasted onion soup, flat bread and humus spread, well crafted cocktail. Proceeded to perfunctory service, incredibly long wait for main course, and over salted preparation.

    Restaurant week! 3-course menu $65 + $25 wine pairing. Service was great — seated quickly in a dining room that was filling up with other Restaurant Week diners. Some highs & some lows on the menu. High: aged steak. Low: overall saltiness. The Gibson has a beautifully appointed interior— be sure to carefully view the gorgeous mural on the ceiling! All in all a good experience.

    Great food and very close to the Golden Gate and Orpheum Theaters. Martinis were excellent but a little bit on the small side for the cost. A bit pricey but a 15% check-in discount on Yelp made it a good value.
