About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
Sens is French for the word meaning "Sense," which refers to the faculties of sight, sound, smell, and taste that humans perceive this as stimuli originating from the body inside and out.

At Sens we love the process of cooking and its end result, complete happiness. Our inspiration is that of the Mediterranean with its diverse cultures and cuisines. Our goal is not to redefine or reinvent their cuisine but rather to refine and create delicious and beautiful food. We use only the finest local ingredients and exotic spices to elevate our classic and modern techniques. Our destination is and will always be the same, to develop and perfect the flavor, fragrance, texture and composition of each dish while creating a unique and unforgettable experience.

Welcome to Sens.

    Very good Mediterranean inspired restaurant with a decor and atmosphere suited both for groups or an intimate meal. The service was excellent and quick for ordering but making it a point we could take at the time we wanted at our table. Great location in Embarcadero 4 for both view and connecting with friends from other parts of the area. They validate parking at the center garages.

    Our waitress up sold us to a horrific degree. She asked if we wanted to add protein to a $17 salad - we added chicken. And when the bill came I saw the chicken added $31 to the price! When our pita ran out for our appetizer, she asked us if we would like more. Which we gladly said yes to and then she charged us an extra $3 for that pita. It felt like she was trying to pad the bill to raise her tip. I was horrified and will not return.

    We always enjoy the setting and the food at Sens. A great place to take a visitor, or just to catch up with a friend. On those rare warm SF afternoons the deck is special!

    Reservation at 6:15pm - didn’t get our food until 7:50pm after having placed our order by 6:40pm - it took over an hour to get the food out. Very disappointing.

    My salmon was very undercooked and I couldn’t finish it. This is a very loud restaurant for a business meeting but great for drinks with friends.

    A very limited menu. I ordered the steak au poivre. It was bad. It was approximately 5/8 inch thick and had that cheap steakhouse pre-tenderized texture. The cook was fine. The sauce matched the quality of steak. The fries served with it were fine. Great location and attentive service but for $46 this was a horrific entree for the price. This is a place for hungry tourists not for people who want fine dining.
