    I found this place on social media, and I’m so happy that I experienced the afternoon tea with a friend. Everything was amazing- the food, our server, the ambience, and the mandarin jasmine tea was delicious. I ordered the shrimp and lobster risotto and burrata salad, which were all so yummy! I would definitely come back here because I enjoyed the overall experience!

    Great food, excellent service. I wish they kept the Chicken Paillard Milanese, but I do hope to come back for their short rib and/or their meat sauce pappardelle. Oh, their lobster bisque was great as well. Thank you, Rotunda.

    It was a late Mother’s Day celebration for my mom as she doesn’t like to be taken out Mother’s Day weekend. We were seated promptly after we arrived. Our server, Karine, was outstanding. We didn’t have to ask for a thing! We’ve been here for afternoon tea before in years past but this was the best overall experience by far. My favorite savory was the salmon and creme fraiche canapé topped with caviar and my favorite sweet was the currant scone with lemon curd; but everything on that tea service was delicious. If you have the time and the means to treat yourself to afternoon tea at the rotunda, run don’t walk! It’s worth it!

    We had the afternoon tea recommended to us by friends and weren’t disappointed. I have food allergies and was pleasantly surprised to get a phone call from the staff to ask further questions. We were concerned and considered canceling and were so glad we didn’t! Katrina had us beautifully taken care of and Elle, our server, was delightful and attentive. Being both gluten and cow dairy free can make for some less than awesome meals but, in this case, we were in great hands and everything was delicious.

    I made this reservation for my mom and aunts that were in town from Korea. The server was very obviously annoyed and frustrated that it was hard to communicate and he provided very poor service in an obvious manner which ruined the experience. Very openly would check on the tables around and not even make eye contact. My family said the food and drinks were very good though.

    Excellent experience for a group of us who are on a fixed budget that had never been to The Rotunda. I led a group of low income immigrant parents of the English Learner Advisory Council to a field trip at Neiman Marcus to learn about the history of the old City of Paris, gold rush and San Francisco. The Rotunda took care of us just like anyone else. The parents feel they are more connected to the community and each other. The parents feel they are inspired to support their children to be part of America and to seek a better future.

    For a special occasion and expensive experience, the service and value did not align. At such a fine establishment and for the price point, I would expect more engaged or personal service. Our server was not very attentive, and it felt like she was pushing us to order certain things on the menu vs. guiding us based on the questions we were asking. The food is quite expensive and outrageously priced, so I did not want to feel pressure to order what she was pushing. We only got one cocktail each, and would have ordered more if our server had asked sooner, however after we received our entrees, she did not come back to check on us for quite some time. We also sat with the bill for a long time before she came to take our payment.

    Seating is a bit crowded. Receptionist had a sour look on her face when I asked for another table because the one she assigned was in a jammed space with high noise level. This is a classy space, so guests should not feel like they are crowded. Keep table cloths --they tend to absorb the noise. You might consider opening for dinner. Popovers seemed like they were standing around for a long time. Bullion was delicious, as always. The rest of our lunch was very tasty and I appreciated the surprise birthday dessert for my friend who I was treating. Overall, we had a wonderful time.

    We had a great time and enjoyed the food. I was pleasantly surprised because I was in jeans and a hoodie. This place is very glamorous so I did not think I would be allowed in. They were very accommodating and even took our picture in front to the stairs with a view through the windows that showed Union square.

    Loved the ambiance. Will go again. The sandwiches were yummy and the tea was delicious. Dessert was below par. Our waiter was always passing us and we had to holler at him to get his attention. The table next to us arrived a half hour after us but received everything at the same time as us. We waited on service until we asked tor the bill. Unfortunate to have to pay a 20% service charge for poor service but the view is worth it.
