Luce - InterContinental San Francisco

I expected higher quality food given the price and Michelin star, but other than that the breakfast of brioche french toast, bacon, and eggs tasted good

Very disappointed in this restaurant. Went for the Prix fixe menu. The food started off pretty good then through the 9 courses became mediocre at best. The biggest let down was the service. Very unprofessional and overly familiar server could not pace the meal correctly or even keep the water glass full. Finally, I am shocked they have a Michelin Star considering the overall cleanliness of the establishment. From minor like stains on the tablecloth to the major reason I would not recommend Luce the bathroom was basically little better than a rural gas station and remained so throughout the evening. Skip this much better dining in San Francisco

I had lunch with my family two days ago at LUCE. There wasn't too many choices on the menu. We ordered the king salmon, chicken breast and short rib. The food quality is above average . Derserts are great.

Very friendly staff, food was great and on time. Price is also not crazy high for Michelin grade food. Would definitely come here again.

James is a rock star whatever you are paying him it's not enough

We had a wonderful evening here at Luce after seeing Hamilton at SHN this week. The atmosphere was relaxed, open, and airy. The food was beautifully prepared and tasted as good as it looked. Perhaps our favorite part of the evening was our server, James. He was attentive, charming, insightful, and a pleasure to interact with from start to finish. The wines he chose for each our courses were expertly paired to the dishes we selected. We would definitely come back!

I am a big fan of Luce. it never ceases to amaze me there is somewhere so good just a block from the Moscone. The service is fantastic, great wines, and the food is always on point. Usually have the risotto.

Too loud for a business meeting and paid close to $ 400 for a breakfast buffet for for 7 people (no alcohol) since waiter told us it would take 20-25 minutes for orders off the menu at 8:00 am. Might be better for dinner.

For a quiet elegant dining experience I recommend Luce.

We were seated at our reservation time. The service was quick and efficient. The setting was nice and quiet. Food was excellent.

The servers were lovely, no staff complaints. They did bring me the wrong entree, though. Once they corrected the issue I got a surprisingly bland and undercooked duck which wasn't at all appetizing. Surprising, for a $35 dish.
The dining room is cozy, nicely lit, and you don't have to shout to be heard. It was just the two of us and for some reason we were seated at a semicircle booth with room for six people to sit comfortably, with multiple empty smaller booths and two person tables visible feet from our seats.
I was disappointed and wouldn't recommend Luce to anyone, it's an experience I wouldn't want to have again.

We came here for CCSF's Culinary Clash and all I can say is, wow! Everything from the atmosphere to the service and up to the incredible food prepared by the competitors, Luce is definitely worth the visit. Even though we were here for something different from their normal menu, the ambiance and service alone were enough to want to come back for the real menu. Quick, attentive service, all food & wine out at one time and comfortable seating all around!

The service was great and the food was good. The problem is with the ambiance. This is a big restaurant and there very few customers even on a Saturday night. It feels rather cold inside.

Fabulous date night dinner. Get the tasting menu with pairing!!

Waiter didn’t seem like he was having a good time. He was very short with us, and barely attended to our table. We had the tasting menu. The food itself was pretty good, but not that special. Nothing really amazed me. The dessert wasn’t great either. I don’t recommend another visit.

Food was very good, although a few of the items on the menu didn't sound as appetizing as one might have imagined. It could have done with being a little warmer in temperature.

Service was very friendly and knowledgeable, albeit perhaps a little slow. The restaurant is nice but struggles to fully shake the hotel lobby ambience.

Not Crowded so we could stay as long as we want to

As always Luce is the best. Great service and great food and a great location.

Decent hotel restaurant. Nothing to write home about.

Great venue for a casual lunch--personal or business. Service was great. Food was great. Highly recommended.

Food was beautifully presented and the flavours of the ingredients came through clearly. Wonderful experience!

The limited menu was well executed and the quality of ingredients was excellent. The flavors did not pop as much as I would have expected, I had the butternut squash appetizer and it was essential steamed squash overpowered by highly acidic pickled radish. It did not work for me. However, the steak and fish main courses were very good. Service was excellent, but the restaurant was fairly empty. It was pre-theater, so I will assume it was just that we were on the early side of the evening. With 1 Michelin Star, I really would expect the place to be more packed and I would have expected more pleasant surprises to my meal.

Continues to be one of my most favorite restaurants in San Francisco. Really like all of the little extras the restaurant provides. You are made to feel immediately at home. The waiters are consistently great and the food wonderful!

Highly recommend! The food was phenomenal! The service was impeccable in the ambience lovely. It was the perfect pair for dinner just prior to seeing Hamilton.

My friend and I went this resataurant for celebrating our birthdays. It was rainy day the business looked very slow. But the food was excellent, and the waiter was very friendly, we ordered the dessert, he told us they were on the house. This place made us so happy. We will defineyly go back.

The food tasted great but the portions were so small it was laughable. Service was great too

Food was stellar, interior is stylish and modern with high ceilings, quiet. Perfect for date night or important business dinners! Light fixtures offer a contemporary airy disposition, with high windows surrounding. It feels like high end at its finest and up there with Dining Room at the Ritz and former institutions like Masa, Fleur de Lys with local fresh ingredients that are packed with flavor like the Ravioli with shaved truffle, delicate Halibut!

The waiter made a couple of mistake and argued that this is what my customer had ordered. I heard whet he ordered and it was not what was brought to the table

We visit during weekend brunch. The food is quite good, fully satisfied. Only one thing I noticed was the chair we sit were a bit old and damaged.

Food was great. Smaller portions but they make sure to give you little things of bread/palate cleansers in between. By the end with dessert we were full. The ravioli and duck was amazing!! Definitely a place for a special occasion. Definitely will stay a night at the hotel next time. Would come back again.

Service was excellent however the servings are very scant. I have seen small servings before but the entrees were smaller than an appetizer at similarly priced restaurants.
We won’t be back.

Valentine’s Day after the Symphony. We went for the 9 course Tasting Menu. We enjoy tasting menus because, even if not all of the plates are ones that we would have chosen individually, it displays the chef’s imagination and skill. We did the wine pairing also. The menu was shellfish, fish, pasta and duck so the wines were whites, rose and very light reds. Not my normal selection of wines but each went well with the paired dish, which is the point! Each plate was skillfully prepared, artfully plated, meticulously presented and carefully described. Following the matinee of Bach and Mendelssohn, this was the perfect way to finish the Valentine’s Day celebration.

Great experience. Menu was unique and delicious. It’s clear the chef is a risk-taker and is a master of their craft. Would love to come here again.

It took 10 mins for us to be seated despite a reservation . The place was loud and tasting menu was not available. Service was good initially but then our server disappeared .

Also the Menu was short and catered to conference. Luckily the food was good and otherwise would have been a total disaster.

Nice restaurant

Worst service in any Michelin restaurant!

Great service, love the broccoli and other buffet items. Have been before, will go again. Lovely assortment of fruits, meat & cheese, protein options, and more.

What a disappointment! My fiancé and I were all excited to use an open table gift card at a Michelin star restaurant, but overall the food was mediocre at best. Though beautifully presented, the bass was not very flavorful and the potatoes were undercooked. My fiancé’s steak dish was slightly better flavored, but a very small portion. We’d recommended splurging elsewhere.

Brunch is very bad. Basic low quality food from the hotel bar menu.
Tasting menu is not available for brunch.

At a restaurant like this one, I would expect the server to offer fresh ground pepper whenever they serve a salad. This was not done here, and when we requested fresh ground pepper, it took 3 tries and 10 minutes for it to arrive.
