   We sat at the outdoor patio which was so lovely! Inside seemed really loud. Delicious food. The croissant was out of this world!

   the tables were all crammed together, less than a foot distance between them, not exactly what you'd call intimate setting considering this was a reservation for st. Valentine's day. We were so close to the other tables that we were smelling their roasted octopus while trying to eat our dessert. not coming back for sure.

   My family came to eat for Valentine's day lunch. We were greeted at the door of the hotel and taken to the restaurant and introduced to our server who was very nice. I had the mussels and chorizo which was tasty. My wife ordered the proper burger medium rare but when it arrived it was severely undercooked. It took about 20 minutes for them to prepare a new one that thankfully was cooked correctly. For the price they are asking I don't think we'll be back.

   I enjoyed the food here and the ambience. They gave a great twist on the porridge and huevos rancheros so my husband and I were pleasantly surprised. I would come back here again and try new items. Staff was very friendly.

    Cannot say enough good things about our afternoon tea experience here! Very attentive staff and creative accompaniments for the tea. The aged peony white tea was something I’ve never had before and therefore felt was quite memorable! The hibiscus tea was flavorful as well! The space is absolutely beautiful and the lobby of the Proper hotel in which the restaurant is located is equally a nice space to look around. Just a few hours here felt like a mini vacation! Great job to everyone on the staff!

    A dear friend and I love to do English high tea. I decided that we should try Villon for a change from our normal high tea places when we visit the City. From the moment we checked in, we were treated as if we were the most special visitors to the restaurant. We sat in the lounge/lobby on chairs that were like from Granny's house with beautiful aged mirrored tables. Our waiter, Steven (forgive me if I spelled his name wrong) was nothing but wonderful. He wasn't overly attentive but attentive enough to know when we needed something. He was exceptional. We picked our teas which were served in heavy silver pots in beautiful, thick white cups. The delicate Toile plates that held our various foods (sandwiches were egg salad with paprika dusted on the edge, smoked salmon between layers of crepe and the OG cucumber) including an array of lovely petite desserts. Because my friend has a gluten sensitivity, she was given extra delicious non gluten desserts which we've nibbled on today. Because there were so many lovely desserts, we needed to balance out our sugar high with something from the lounge menu. The absolute best tempura veggies on a whipped ricotta with chile crisp oil. Absolutely dreamy. My friend spent a few years in Japan and dubbed it the BEST tempura she had ever had. Everyone working at Villon was superb to us. I cannot stress out wonderful everyone and everything is there. I plan to start bringing my friends who enjoy English high tea service here to indulge. Thank you so much!

    We are continuously confused about Villon. We want to enjoy the excellent dinner fare in the restaurant, but that is reserved (and mostly empty in our experience) for tea. Why? In years past we were seated in the lovely restaurant. Now we must sit in the lobby on a sofa with backrest unreachable and so low it puts the "dining table" at mid chest. Why do we bother? SF has many great restaurant options. For one, the sea bass is perfect. Elegant yet restrained sauce. Fish cooked to that moment when translucent just becomes opaque, when the fish is still moist with its full range of flavor available. Few of even SF's best can do that.

    Food was outstanding for brunch. Especially liked the two Asian influenced items. The rice porridge had great seaweed and wild rice flavors and lots of wild mushrooms. The proper breakfast had a nice twist with mushrooms, squash and pomegranate. Wine by the glass choice was limited as were the suggested cocktails

    Villon is an exclusive restaurant with a short but good menu, that matches with any person. Their menu offers oats, french toast, huevos rancheros, french style breakfast so any person can find an option. I had huevos rancheros and they were very tasty. The decoration is exquisite, so I took some photos, as a souvenir.

    The hotel and restaurant have been beautifully restored and were a pleasure to visit. The Afternoon Tea was elegant with delicious food and attentive service. Tea was served piping hot and properly brewed. The setting and décor of the restaurant are lovely and ornate. I can see that it would also be a great place for dinner, or for drinks, taking advantage of the picture-perfect full bar.

    Wr came for the Nutcracker tea on a Sunday arriving 2 hours before the show. Plenty of time for tea. Right? Wrong. Table wasn’t ready Service was slow Food NEVER ARRIVED We had to leave so we could make the show. They brought out the $50/pp food we weren’t served in a paper bag to…eat on the walk? It was raining heavily and the food was drenched en route to the ballet. Kids were hungry and we were out $200. Over-priced, poor service.
