I had such a wonderful experience at Nopa. It was my partners birthday and they granted all my requests from preferred seating to bringing out the dessert with a birthday candle. The staff were extremely kind and attentive and the food was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend the burger but everything we ate from starters to desserts were fantastic. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting SF!

I’ve been dining at Nopa since opening- the food has always been consistent. Last night, I found the combinations incorporating squash somewhat interesting - more of an after thought versus elevation of the dish. The service was also lacking - no checkin to see how we were doing or needing anything. There was a lack of interest or desire to offer anything more than just the menu and what was standard. Pretty unsatisfactory for a birthday dinner.

Good food with lots of vegetarian options, the waiter also offered to have a vegetarian pasta dish made if we wanted. We were too full for dessert but they sent us off with two cookies for our anniversary.

Service and atmosphere was good. 3 apps were also wonderful. But the hostess was extremely rude and the burger was probably one of the worst we've had. No one finished it. Hockey puck dry meat

great service, and food was tasty but a bit over-hyped (heavy on butter, oil and cream - which makes everything delicious but also too rich, which is a pity because the ingredients seemed really good)

Wonderfully inventive menu with attentive but not intrusive service. The only drawback was the deafening noise level. The young woman in the adjacent table was literally shouting her words during her conversation with her companion. As a result we were unwilling listeners to her recitation of the history of her personal life.

The pork chop was SO GOOD! Thankful our waitress pointed it out since we would not have ordered it on our own. It was the best pork I've ever had, and I'm not usually a pork person so this is saying a lot! It's a little loud in the restaurant but that's the cost for the beautiful open interior design.

We arrived early for a reservation and happily sat at the bar. Service was excellent-knowledgeable, pleasant and professional, and the food was delicious. A highlight were the simple yet perfect Caesar salad variation, hot and crisp fries with an avocado aioli, and a broccoli dish that would bring us back every time. More than that, the vibe was fresh and buzzy-loved it!

Our server was wonderful and the food was wonderful. However, when we sat down at 5:45pm we notified the server that we needed to leave by 7:00pm so we could make it to a symphony concert. At a few minutes before 7:00pm we were still waiting for our entrees. A manager came by and said it would come out at 7:15. I expressed that this was no acceptable. They ultimately were able to bring it to us by 7:00. We wolfed down a small portion before leaving. However, to their credit, they removed the charge for the entree from our bill, and our server was very contrite and offered us packaged cookies as we left. Hopefully, communication between service and kitchen will improve.

The menu is limited and apparently there are specials our server forgot to mention. Would have gotten the roasted chicken though hadn’t known… the burger was good but for $28 you’d expect great. It wasn’t served hot and the bun was really wide and sorta dry.

Smoked trout excellent. Roast chicken more dry than it should have been and was strangely bony -- white meat was nicely chunky but not much of a dark meat drumstick.

First time trying NOPA and I was impressed. The restaurant is well designed and we had a nice dinner. I read about the grill and thought we were going to have burgers with that smokey fire taste from grilling over a flame but what I had was a plain burger which was perfectly cooked the way I ordered it so it worked out but I was really looking forward to the flame taste. My pet peeve with burgers is a soft bun that disintegrates after 2 bites. This bun looked pretty fat so I thought it would work but it looked like someone hand cuts the buns and my top piece was so so thin it literally fell apart instantly. The bottom was way too fat making up for the way it was cut so at least I had something to hold onto. The meat was good quality so I was happy with my dinner. The French fries were so uneventful. They're cut in that size the frozen French fry companies makes them so they weren't great, in fact bland. I was hoping for some very thin fabulous shoe string fries but I didn't need to eat them anyway so I just ignored them. My friend had the lamb which was also cooked to perfection. The acoustics are whacky. The music was great but turned down low and impossible to hear anyway over the insanely loud sound of people talking. I had to almost yell to talk to my friend and couldn't hear well. Parking is so ridiculous and I was pre-warned so I wasn't surprised. It only took 20 minutes to find a spot 4 blocks away. It was a refreshing walk in this super cold weather and we both enjoyed seeing all the new businesses in the area. Will we go back? Not sure, but for the right group of friends and in a Lyft maybe. I won't order the burger again and instead try something else since the food looked delicious. Did I get that right? Nopa does have a fire/grill, right?
