   This was my first time in the SF. I looked up for a beautiful, decent place and came across with Taksim. It was everything I expected! Food was delicious, service was outstanding and most importantly the experience was unbelievable. Our server took care of me with amazing patience and care. He even suggested which drinks goes with which meal. I definitely noted the place and will come back whenever I’m in town again! Highly recommended.

   Taksim is a great place to have a night out with family and friends. They have great wine list and excellent service. The Lamb Chops we had was superb and have been telling people about it since. Definitely would come back and recommend this place to others!

    Very disappointing meal. I’ve never finished an entree and was still hungry, especially after paying almost $30 for it. The small portion of polenta was overly proportioned with cream and butter and a scare amount of vegetables which were more a decoration than an integral part of the dish. Very misleading menu description. My friend’s portions of Branzino looked like 3 oz of dried out, overcooked fish. I expect a lot more from a restaurant with almost five stars. Okay

    We were 2 people dining at Taksim. One of the main dishes was served almost cold. They changed it and returned the scallops way too salty and oily. Chicken was ok but neither very tender or juicy. Ordered Tabbuleh salad as a side. Wasn’t anything close to the original middle eastern Tabbuleh. Plus, it was served on a hot plate. They tried to make it up to us by offering free dessert, which unfortunately was very far from any fine cuisine experience. The manager, although present, did not apologize for any of the inconveniences. Value for money is extremely poor.

    TaksimResponded on September 21, 2022Thank you for your note! We did recognize that your table was providing feedback regarding our food, and we take that very seriously, which is why we had recooked your scallops, offered to do it another time, and provided complimentary main course, drinks, and dessert. As the restaurant's manager, I hope these are indicators of our apology and commitment to servicing you. Thanks again.

    Delicious, innovative, and authentic. Be prepared for European style service — take your time and relax. The staff is lovely and the food so good. I had the melon salad and branzino - both excellent. Don’t skip dessert. And the wine list is thoughtful — cocktails are fun.

    After a long day of traveling to San Francisco, I wanted to relax and enjoy a good meal. Couldn't ask for better. The entrance is down a side street, though they do have good signage, literally, pointing the way. Great patio area, though I sat inside at the Chef's table. They make everything from scratch & you can tell they respect the ingredients they use. I started with the chilled melon soup. It was light, refreshing with a beautiful mouth feel. Next I had the tomato salad (sorry forgot to take a picture). 3 different greens & several tyoes/preparations of tomatoes in a light balsamic dressing. For the entrée I had the chicken, which the roast in a clay wood fire oven. It cam with tabouli, egg mousse, tiny hard boiled eggs & a chicken truffle sausage. The chicken was very moist, with the crispy skin. The tabouli was light & well seasoned. I ended the meal with the pudding. It was light & mildly flavored with rose, apple & pistachios. I tried the Tunnel mocktail, raspberry & minty, so refreshing.

    We had a very nice meal. We enjoyed the dips and the King Shrimp appetizers and the octopus and lamb were both delicious. We had two deserts and both were lovely. The atomsphere was nice, not loud. We sat at the bar. The waitstaff was very attentive and the service was very good.

    Overall we enjoyed the place. Most of the food was very good. For the appetizers, the dips, poached shrimps, stuffed peppers and bazlama were all very tasty. We were disappointed in the lamb chops, not that much flavor and a bit undercooked. The Branzino was good. For dessert the lemon sponge cake was good. Service was very good, atmosphere was good. However we think that their other restaurant, Lokma, is better, The food here felt a little precious.

    My business team’s meal experience was amazing. From the time we called saying that we were arriving late, the hostess was so kind and helpful on the phone. The restaurant has a lovely ambiance and a cozy bar. It’s classy and elegant. We enjoyed their branzino, lamp chops, polenta and octopus. They were all amazing and exquisite. Also, the service was so attentive and polite. We would definitely come back again.

    I was finally able to eat here. We had plan on going here for my cousin’s graduation dinner but he was out of country. I couldnt wait to try. There isn't much parking on restaurant street but I found parking on the next street. I asked for recommendations and than server explained all menu to me. I ordered Taksim Trio Sampler Plate which is All dips coming with plain pita breads for starter and than I continue with King Shrimps which is wrapped with Kadaif. That was amazing. I didnt have shrimp like this before. After this shrimp definetely I picked Melon Salad. That was so sesional and fresh. For Entree I had Lamb Chops which is smoked with almond woods in wood oven. Omg I dont wanna lose its taste. By the way they have full bar and special signature cocktais. A definite dish to get. I loved it. I wish this place was closer to where I live but I will be coming back. Thanks all guys and owners to serve modern mediterranean foods in SF!

    Very disappointed. The main courses came out extremely late. We had to ask a random server about our food after 30 minutes. They hadn’t started cooking our main courses. When our food did come out, several of our entrees were lukewarm or cold. I sent back my main course (octopus) and it came out chewy and there was less octopus. Not sure what happened but I got less food. Really sad because we read great reviews about Taksim and loved the previous restaurant in this location, Cockscomb.

    Everything from start to finish was amazing! Food was unique and delicious - definitely recommend the king shrimps and stuffed peppers for the apps, and all three main dishes we had was the right balance of different textures and flavors. Service was impeccable throughout - they noticed my water needed refill before I even did. What a gem in SF!

    Parking was a challenge due to a baseball game, but once we settled in, we had a wonderful evening. My friend had several questions and food restrictions, and our server was completely “yes!” to everything she needed. The tomato salad was beautiful and fresh. The branzino with sea beans and anchovy rice was divine. I had the rosé they offer by the glass, and it was perfect. Will definitely go back.

    From the minute we walked in the door we were greeted with kindness and warmth. Our server was very welcoming and helped me navigate the menu with allergy concerns. The chefs were more than accommodating, and because we sat at the bar we were able to see their professionalism at work. The food was complex in its pairings and artfully plated. The food runner struck up conversation while we enjoyed complimentary tea after the meal, which really solidified our evening there. Our time there was beautiful and I would recommend this highly to anyone looking for a meaningful experience!
