Not to say anything went wrong necessarily, the main issue was the price ratio and food portion. For four not each WoW course of dish prefix tasting menu charged at USD180 tea and coffee excluded, and the portions of food were definitely on smallish side compared with some three-star ones in Europe which would not let one feel half empty while singing the bill for the same amount of money paid for. The service in general was good, however, it seemed something was missing amongst the service team from the first person to greet us at entrance till to the waiters and waitresses served the food or pouring the wine for you, we just didn’t see the passion and enthusiasm were there perhaps they were too busy on that night or may be they were tired of their daily work routinely. We also felt a bit of being rushed during our eating progress and being mentioned to present our credit card two times while we were checking on the bill at final stage. It was a kind of disappointment for us to get in a high expectation of our very first fine dining experience in the North America, and the reason we guessed that since there were only three tables in Salon area ours was a early time one at six, they actually needed it back in time to receive next round guests. I truly hope I get them wrong. My wife and I are fine dining goers mainly in the major European cities and Japan. And this time we are visiting to our son’s home at Bay Area from abroad to celebrate the birth of our very first also grandchild. We therefore loved the opportunity to tryout a high end eatery to get first hand experience how a Michelin starred restaurant was in SF and Quince was being picked up. Please don’t get me wrong with my scores which is purely based on my own considerations, and Quince is deserved for its title as they got all elements a three Michelin stars restaurant should have.

Eating at Trestle was a delight!! Everything was spot on...food just delicious, definitely add on the pasta plate, service was great and pace of food perfect. We loved the selections and recommend sharing to get lots of great tastes. The servers couldn't have been nicer, and discussed our selections and made the best recommendations. This was an outstanding value and we cannot wait to return! Thanks for making us feel so special!! (I'm sure this is how everyone dining there felt)!! More

Roka has a great Happy Hour menu! They keep it short and sweet with perfect combination of east meet west food selection and their handcrafted cocktails are great. Roka mule was my favorite. I'd go back for a full dining experience! More

Consistent and delicious. Honey baked seabass is light and tasty. Pork buns are filling. Shrimp long noodle has whole shrimps wrapped in a rice noodle, scrunptious. Snow peas dumplings are yum. Hargow is great. Can't go wrong with anything you take off the dim sum cart. Quality ingredients are always used. More

Great ambiance for a date, birthdays or any special event. Piano play is a nice touch. Martinis are on point. Duck, bread pudding, oysters all very good. Steak was good, but could’ve been better. That was the only thing that wasn’t great. Great place for a nice dinner. More

The shellfish platter with green curry was simply amazing. We've tried seafood curry dishes from tons of other restaurants but Waterbar's is without a doubt our all time favorite now.

What a great facelift for Palio. Great environment to have a business lunch and be able to hear the people you are eating with. Tables are not so close that you have to be careful what items you are discussing in public. Food and service were wonderful. More

We arrived for our dinner reservations early - but they were able to seat us - which we appreciated. The food was terrific - but the seating reminded me of cafeteria style. This is not where you want to go if you want to have a nice quiet evening or one where you would want to have a conversation in. I like my dinner atmospheres to be a little more relaxed. More

Perry's is a place to go when you just want to hang with no hassles. Reception was warm. Wait staff friendly and efficient. Food creativity concocted, plentiful, and attractively priced. My only nit on this last visit was being served poached eggs that were overlooked. But, hey, sometimes when I do that dish for myself, the results are much worse. When I'm in the Embarcadero area, this is my first choice. More

Cafe Bastille has been a favorite restaurant for many years and remains so. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable about the lovely food and wines, and flexible in their service, never rushing us. We often order favorite dishes, but always enjoy being told day's specials, just in case one of them intrigues us. More

This place has a great selection of wines. I loved the wine flights, where they bring you 3 glasses of whatever wine flight you ordered and explain to you the origins and so on. The food was very delicious. The duck breast was my favorite. More

Comfortable spot right in FiDi. Went for HH with some coworkers - enjoyed the tasty apps and drinks. HH goes until 6pm, but the dinner menu is also available starting at 5:30pm... so we ordered from both menus. Although it's a bit loud for quiet conversation, the seating is comfortable and folks are friendly. More

I have not been here in many years. They have updated the decor and streamlined the menu. They still have your wursts and schnitzel but I miss my favorite, sauerbraten with potato pancakes. The staff is friendly and very competent. If you are in the Financial District and have an appetite for German food, this is the place to come. More

I’m a “foodie”. Food is wjat vacations are all about to me! I have to say, it was the BEST meal of our trip!! Every item we ordered was AMAZING! I recommend the Japchae rice, the coconut pineapple soju cocktail, and the coconut ice cream, as well as the chocolate mousse. SO yummy! Each item was our favorite from the whole trip, and we ate out every meal for 4 days. I HIGHLY recommend them!! Great staff as well! Very friendly! Fast too! I was shocked at how quickly our food was to the table, and fresh and HOT! We looked the next day to see if there were other locations nearer our home. LOVE THIS PLACE!! More

Have been here several times and overall think they have consistently good food. Their guacamole is great as is the salsa. I had fish tacos this time and thought they were a little over-breaded and the tortilla was too small for the filling and fish. My friend had the chicken tacos and liked them a lot. We both really like the side of corn that comes with the tacos. More

Haven’t been to Plouf in years so it was a treat to go back. Unfortunately we only get an hour for lunch and the slow service was for people with a lot more time. But having said that the food was wonderful, outstanding even. Next time we’ll just have to schedule more time for our meal. Definitely going back. More

They are obviously just getting their footing in running a restaurant. The food was very tasty and I would definitely go back. More

Service was great, super fast. I'm a San Francisco native and had always wanted to try this restaurant. We finally went for a breakfast before a long walk on the Embacardero. Companion got a Belgian waffle, loved it. I got the French toast. I wasn't paying careful attention to the menu and missed that it was sourdough French toast. It was edible but not my fave. Coffee is decent but way overpriced. If you can hold off, there is a Peet's at the nearby Ferry Building, and also a Philz Coffee steps away from here. I do plan to come back. I'd like to try different breakfast options like the buffet, omlettes, etc. This restaurant is set in the biggest hotel lobby in the world apparently, so surroundings are nice. More
