    In a city with many excellent restaurants, Angler is in a league of its own. The cuisine is truly innovative with a touch of whimsy and an element of surprise. You will not find these dishes elsewhere. The service is excellent and thoughtful. And the overall setting is stunning, with views of the Bay and beautiful floral arrangements.

    Really nice experience. Detailed and friendly service, and absolutely brilliant food. The Lobster rolls are off the hook, order them alongside a bottle of Champagne and a better lunch cannot be had.

    Did not meet my expectations of a restaurant holding a Michelin star, unfortunately. Dined at Angler solo during a business trip. I selected Angler based on their impressive selection of seafood and opted for the 'choose for me' experience, which is essentially mystery courses. The raw appetizers were great, though large servings for a coursed menu. The let-down of the evening was the salad which contained wilted-decaying lettuce and a leaf with a bug. At this level of restaurant I would expect produce to be very well cleaned before service. The mains (scallop and black cod) were absolutely fantastic - perfectly prepared and cooked. Though the side pairing with each was delicious (smoked mushroom, potato with taleggio), they were complete mismatches which did not at all go with the light and delicate seafood. Lastly while my server was made aware of the salad snafu, there was no acknowledgement from any other staff of the error. Mystery wine pairings appeared with the courses. Which hey, great! But please own up to the mistake and *why* you are sending me additional wine without charge. I am not one to leave poor reviews... however in this case it is warranted. I would hope to see the restaurant improve for future diners, but cannot say I would return.

    Rafa’s service/ the service of every worker was amazing. Highly recommend the cook for you if you want a mixed bag of gorgeous culinary surprises. Get the tuna, radicchio, scallops, and bream. If you get the embered oysters, you have to get the rolls to dip in the excess sauce. For cocktails: get the komorebi or a mezcal penicillin. I recommend everyone go here for a Michelin experience that’s top tier service and food, but welcoming and comfortable.

    What a lovely restaurant filled with lovely staff making delicious food and treating us so fine. We had oysters, sea bream, chicken, salad, soft serve and sorbet. The wine list was fabulous with tons of great recommendations from the delightful sommelier. We had the price fix lunch and would come back a million times. It was a beautiful afternoon.

    The dry-aged kingfish cru & yuzu kosha and the hot fried frog legs were excellent appetizers, full of discernible flavors and textures. The Japanese cheesecake was more like a soufflé, light but redolent with delicious tastes. The chocolate bar was a revelation, chock-full of pralines, peanut butter mousse, and a creamy dark chocolate coating. The only disappointment was the Wagyu Hanger Steak and Fries. The steak was veiny, difficult to cut, and chewy, which is not what I would expect from Wagyu steak. On the other hand, the accompanying fries were perfectly crisp. Despite that one disappointment, Angler is still one of my favorite restaurants. I especially enjoy coming in for lunch on a Saturday, where I relax at the bar and enjoy the lobster buns and the bespoke 60s-80s soul music playing lightly in the background.

    Enjoyed this meal very much. The service was outstanding and the staff recommendations were on point. The sea bream and skate were so unique and delicious. So flavorful and light flaky texture. The oyster uni shooter was also uniquely tasty. My martini was so good. Cocktails here are consistently of the highest quality. Our group of five had an amazing time and the outdoor seating was perfect on such a nice evening. Will be back soon.
