STEM Kitchen & Garden

Great place for a pre Warriors game meal. Good beer, tasty small bites and pizza, relaxing atmosphere, and right next to Chase Center. The only problem is they close at 9:00. I’d like to go after the game, too.

Stem is always consistent, fresh and tasty. I like the smaller menu and cocktails are always hand crafted.
Friendly and welcoming atmosphere good value too for San Francisco.

Good food, slow service.

Wow, great pork belly sandwich.

We showed up on a quiet holiday night. The staff was great, we had two fun cocktails, and the food was really good! Thoroughly enjoyed the risotto, halibut and brussels sprouts. Definitely a nice spot for a meal before a game... or after a checkup at UCSF!

Great find right near Chase Center! Incredible outdoor area overlooking water which we didn’t even tap into since it was night- Yummy food well priced well Wine bottles 50% off on Tuesdays!

New Years at Chase Center watching Dead & Company

Really poor service. Took forever to get anyone to come by. Food was delivered without silverware or plates and we were left waiting until the food was cold. The food was pretty mediocre. They ran out of our second dish and only told us as they brought our first but never asked for what we wanted instead. First drink I ordered was awesome. Got a second and it was a completely different drink. Overall poor experience and wouldn’t go back.

This was our third and final time at STEM. The pizza was soggy, the salads overdressed and tasteless and the cocktails were pricey and boring. The service was egregiously bad. We sat at our table for 10 minutes and we had to flag someone down to get a drink. Finished plates were sitting in front of us for twenty minutes. Wait staff seemed to disappear for long periods of time and appeared out of it when we flagged them down. To add insult on to injury they automatically added a twenty percent tip onto our bill which completely unwarranted.

both our entress were tasteless
halibut
lamb shanks
the sauces added nothing

Stem has the best team - so enthusiastic, great service, and helpful. Food is delicious! This will always be my go-to place when attending an event at The Chase Center!

It was an excellent venue. Our pizza, salad, chicken were delicious. The chef was very accommodating to our various tastes and needs. Hip location. Staff is superb.
Thank you🙏

the roasted brussels sprouts were the highlight of our meal

Food was amazing, very fresh. Sausage pizza had too many peppers.

we sat outside on a nice day which was pleasant and the brussell sprouts some of the best i've ever had.
however, the seared tuna was way overcooked and was the only time i've ever had fresh tuna that actually tasted like starkist. i ate one bite and let the rest. it was truly worst tuna i've ever had by far. the service was also lousy. it was very slow yet we were ignored for long periods at a time and when i told the waitress about the tuna, she seemed completely unphased and did not offer to remove it from the check.

Pre-concert date - very nice food and ambiance but inexperienced and a bit erratic service staff. We would come back!

Nice view from window. Great gardens outside

Octopus appetizer is fantastic. Halibut'sa bit dry, but taste is good. Great place to enjoy the Bay before a Chase event especially the GS Warriors.

The food was bland- the salad was not dressed and we had to ask them to bring dressing to the table. The soup was without any salt/pepper. Extremely disappointed as I had been here several times before and this was absolutely the worst combination of food and service. The waitress was unable to put on a smile the whole time we were there. We will not be returning.

Good cocktails, friendly staff. Food is pretty good but as most places in SF slightly overpriced. Good proximity to Chase Center and a cool view of the bay out back.

Limited menu, probably due to farm to fork availability. Close to the Chase center is a plus.

Great for drinks and apps before a game or show at Chase Center. Service is a bit slow on waited tables so sit at the bar, but the food and cocktails were great!

Ask for Jeremy, hands down best service we have ever received. Friendly, knowledgeable, and is the reason we keep coming back. That and the food and drinks!

I love going to STEM! I love the fresh ingredients from their local garden and their delicious menu and ambiance! My favorite appetizer is the honey chili brussel sprouts! Yum! The main reason I go to STEM is for Aubrey. She is is fabulous! Her attention to detail goes above and beyond what you would expect. She is the BEST!

The service was poor. We had 3 servers and waited about 20 minutes from when they dropped the dessert menus off to when we ordered. They were not busy at all and we could barely get served.

Beautiful space- We went on a non Chase event so it was completely empty- and just a few tables outside. The food sounded amazing, but we were so disappointed- Nothing had any flavor. Heirloom tomato salad, kale salad with Burrata cheese- no flavor. Everything was so bland- My husband said it best, "they are cooking for color, not flavor" Hope they can get some flavor because it is a beautiful space

The food was fantastic! I look forward to going back in the evening to see the restaurant at night.

It took a long time for our cocktails to come but it was a very busy night
Very pleasant, professional staff

My friend and I had dined here before a Chase Center event. The service was fabulous. We enjoyed our food and the small bites were delicious. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, pork belly and the burrata salad.
We also split the main dish. We will come back again!

This was my first time eating at this restaurant. What a great experience! We were there to have dinner before the Elton John concert. It was quite a festive crowd, lots of people dressed up in costume for the concert. The food was fantastic, very inventive dishes and amazing ingredients.

Ordered the chicken and it was super dry. Not much flavor either. The Brussels were great and the pizza was good too. First time here. I would give it a second try. The night might of just been off for the crew

Very limited menu. We made reservations before the Elton John concert at the Chase Center. The restaurant was clearly overwhelmed. Our service was okay but we watched 2 tables walk out after waiting too long to order. The salmon was flavorless but the butterscotch bread pudding was amazing! May have just been an off night as they adjust to the Chase Center crowds. Very conveniently located next door. I would give them another try.

Beautiful setting, subpar food. Definitely not worth the $ but the surroundings are great if you happen to be in the area. The cheese plate had three tiny pieces of cheese on it, enough for one person, tops. The meatballs were still frozen in the middle. Awful. That said, the ambiance is killer.

Very excited to try this restaurant before a Chase Center event. So disappointed! The food was very average except for Brussels sprouts and pastas bravas. We did request a special order for two diabetics. Garden salad(on the menu,) with a chicken breast on top. Chicken breast entree was also on menu with different sides. It took over 40 min to get our meal! The cheese plate was super skimpy for $16. It took another 20 min to get our check. Will check out different restaurant next time.

Went here before Eric Clapton on 9/11, recommended for great happy hour, food and drinks. As it turns out, any time there is something going on at The Chase - no happy hour. The drinks were great. The food was ok. We're still laughing about the cheese plate. We ordered all 3 cheeses, for 4 people. We received 4 small toasts with 3 tiny portions of cheese. I think the brie slice was 1/4 inch think by 2 inches. It was like a SNL skit. When I asked the waiter about it = no real response. The entire plate would be for one person. We had fun dividing tiny pieces of cheese into quarters. I have had larger samples at Trader Jo's. They might want to rethink the cheese portions. The dessert was delicious - butterscotch bread pudding. Beautiful setting and nice decor.

Our server Robby was trying to provide us the great service while they were very busy since Chace center opening event was scheduled on that day/Friday night.

We were there after the lunch rush and the place was nearly empty, so it was quiet, calm and the service was great. Evidently it's super busy during business lunch hour and then again for dinner. Not in between though.
The indoor space is wonderful - sleek and warm at the same time, but it's the outdoor space that's spectacular with its gardens, lovely seating, lights strung across and amazing view of the bay toward the east.
The food is good, the menu limited but interesting. My salad (just a simple tossed greens with the soup and sandwich) was under-dressed but the remainder of the food was great. There's a large variety of beers and wines - which they have ON TAP!
Nest is on my top ten list for ambience and a great (great, great) view.

Uniquely large outdoor space with beautiful views of the water. Great food Good bocce ball set up. Really nice staff. It’s oddly quiet (not packed) which is nice and won’t last as the stadium events increase in frequency and more people discover it.
It’s somewhat hidden in the upstairs of a multi-use building.

Great service, beautiful atmosphere. Sat outside which is great! Cocktails were nice. Food was uneven. Best dishes were pizza, Brussels sprouts, peppers and patatas bravas. There were only three main courses available for dinner on Saturday. We had salmon which was $28 and not very good! The risotto was also pretty disappointing. Butterscotch bread pudding was delicious and big enough to share. The restaurant did comp us on one of the dishes because we shared our feedback so I think they deserve a compliment for that!

Parking is confusing....and this place is hard to find and once the Arena opens this area will be very crowded and trendy...

Very nice meal. Great outdoor seating. Training server who did a fine job.

Kale salad dressing was too hot for our tastes and they adjusted the bill without question.

I love the Mission Bay location and will definitely return.
