At Sauce: Gough we serve what we like to call "Social Cuisine" - American comfort fare so good you'll want everyone at the table to try a bite. It's shared food without the tiny plates. Come sample Chef Ben's creations along with some drinks in the intimate Supper Club; cozy up to the beautiful redwood bar for a signature cocktail; or, enjoy a meal in the bustling main dining room. Experience what happens when Comfort Food meets California Cuisine — it could be our Tomato Bisque with white truffle grilled cheese sticks; Portobello mushroom fries; or our signature applewood-smoked-bacon wrapped meatloaf, something is sure to tickle your fancy. Located just a few blocks from the civic center in Hayes Valley, Sauce: Gough is the welcoming result of three partners' desire to create a comfortable spot for drinking and dining. Pre-Show, post-show and for all your private events Sauce is the place. Stop by for dinner any night between 5pm and Midnight and see for yourself; what’s cooking

Sad to see this place close but so glad we made it back one last time. Drove from the peninsula for the sendoff. Food is still as delicious as ever and enjoyed my favorite dessert, PB&J! We ate 7 dishes between 2 of us.

I was running late and the restaurant held my reservation. Once I arrived ordering and serving of food was friendly, quick and unobtrusive. Food, especially the limited entrees available, is very good, and the shareable items are also fun and tasty

The waiter dropped our drinks on the way to the table, and it was clear that he was new to wait staff, and inexperienced. However, there were other issues -- the music selection was a poor choice for this type of restaurant. The main courses were served at different times, causing the hot food to cool before we could eat as a table, and the last item to come out was the soup (showing that the delay was really the waiter and not the kitchen.) Then, to add insult to injury, without notice to me, the waiter added 20% tip automatically on a table for only 4 diners. We will not return.

Picked Sauce blind before SF Symphony. Pleasantly pleased with dinner and convenience to Davies Hall. Not a lot of wines by the glass, but otherwise, a really good choice. We'll go again.

From the street it's not particularly noticeable. The interior, on the other hand is nicely appointed and the bar is in a separate room from the main dining area, so it's fairly quiet. The food is prepared creatively and you will find it interesting as well as tasty. The owner and wait staff are attentive and friendly.
