    The reputation of the Zuni prompted me to try it after a matinee. My friend and I were not impressed. The menu was too limited to the point that my friend had only one choice and that had to be altered slightly. The service was not cordial - the waiters with their accents and chiseled cheek bones - seemed to be looking down their noses at us. In the middle of our meal, one of the servers came and began adjusting the legs of our table, interfering our meal and conversation. The meal itself was ok. The caesar salad was very nice. The shrimp were charred to the point that the char was all you could taste. The salmon was ok, but the accompanying vegetables were sparse - only one slice of eggplant and two wedges of zucchini. There was not enough food to satisfy so we migrated to another restaurant after the visit to fill up.

    The burger is extraordinary and the gateau victoire absolutely delicious. Our waiter (whose name I have forgotten, but he is from Venezuela) was charming and attentive. A wonderful San Francisco experience!

    We found this cafe just strolling by and stopped in to have lunch. We split a delicious mushroom pasta and the chicken for two. So delicious

    This is such a great restaurant. The chicken for two was amazing and sitting next to the kitchen was a cool experience. This restaurant should not be missed when visiting San Francisco.

    Fabulous as always! This time we had fig and burrata salad, tomato salad, and cesar salad. Figs were insane. Chicken and steak were next - cannot go wrong with chicken obviously. The steak had a winning mustard sauce. The fruit tart was the standout dessert, better than the chocolate cake, which was still nice. All around YUM. Service is superlative and atmosphere chillax. I love Zuni!
