We had a great meal at Cavalier last night. We started with three very different cocktails and loved them all. I was so happy to see the left side of the menu was mostly vegetables. We ate several. Our entrees were delicious. My meat was undercooked (by any standard) and was promptly replaced with a perfect version. I was a bit taken aback when the waiter said something about letting it rest. (Not my job!) The wine list is small but varied with some unique offerings. The manager provided me with excellent guidance. Service was warm and professional, and we felt cozy in the muralled side room. I'll definitely go back. (I don't give many five star reviews, and it has to be for exceptional food, not just food well executed.)

Our family had an amazing time dining at Cavalier Restaurant, San Francisco. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant we knew we were in for a memorable culinary adventure. The service was nothing short of exceptional—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel truly valued throughout our meal. The menu showcased a remarkable array of dishes that expertly balanced bold flavors and refined techniques. We started with the Smoked Deviled Eggs, topped with crispy bacon, pickled jalapeño, and salsa—an irresistible combination of smoky, spicy, and savory that tantalized our taste buds. The Brussels Sprouts Chips offered a delightful crunch, enhanced by vadouvan spice and zesty lemon zest, providing a perfect snack with a sophisticated twist. The Steak Tartare was a highlight—finely prepared with parmesan, horseradish, chimichurri, and crispy capers, delivering a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that elevated raw beef to an art form. For our greens, we enjoyed the Grilled Asparagus & Burrata, accompanied by fava beans, pea tendrils, Meyer lemon, and mint—a fresh, creamy, and vibrant dish that showcased seasonal ingredients at their best. The star of the main courses was the Marinated Skirt Steak, served with Fresno chili chimichurri and sea salt. The steak was perfectly marinated, tender, and bursting with smoky, spicy notes that complemented the bright, herbaceous chimichurri beautifully. Overall, Cavalier Restaurant excels in both culinary creativity and impeccable service. The quality of ingredients, thoughtful presentation, and inviting atmosphere make it a standout dining destination.

Overall good, I love the fox hunting horse theme. Our initial server seemed to get quite frustrated with us, but the subsequent staff was all super pleasant and great. Maybe she was having a bad day, but it felt like we were being ignored and then a burden if we tried to get her attention. Food was good and ambience decent, but I wish people dressed up a bit more (less on the restaurant and more on the city on this point haha).
