   As always, great food, well prepared. The wine list is pricey, very few bottles under $100. The wait service was excellent; the check-in process was a bit annoying as they won't seat you before 5:30; so if you arrive early, you have to stand while you wait.

   They still have the best chicken dish in the Bay Area. The ambiance is beautiful and intimate yet lively. The cocktails are strong and wonderful. The service was good. The chicken is fabulous. The prices are standard and service is included. I’ll always come back to Zuni.

   This is a classic San Francisco restaurant in that it is unpretentious but consistent in service and menus which emphasize wood burning stove meat and artisan breads. My wife and I are particularly fond of the chicken served with country bread soaked in drippings and served with currants. The service was great and the wine selection was varied.

    We are longtime Zuni heads and knew that we had to celebrate our family being together after a few months apart. The food was superb and the service charming - perfect, actually. We started with Caesar and shoestring potatoes which proved to be as excellent as always. Nobody does Caesar like Zuni. We ordered a margarita, a Saucy Season, and the Chinotto non-alcoholic drink, all outstanding. We had the ricotta gnocchi with nettles and toasted hazelnuts - incredible. We had the Bavette steak with potatoes and Brussels sprouts - this list of ingredients fails colossally to convey the perfectness of this plate. For dessert we had the Gateau Victoire and the Eton Mess - revelations. Even the coffee was excellent.

    Great food. Service was just ok - waiter didn't have suggestions to complement roast chicken salad and caesar salad, and didn't get two of our orders. I think he had us mixed up with another table.

    Outstanding, never disappoints. Old favorites — polenta and Cesar salad — still rock, but fries, duck, other salads — can’t go wrong. Service excellent, as usual. Never stuffy. Prepare for 20% living wage gratuity built into bill. It’s not an inexpensive meal, but price seems right. LOVE ZUNI!

    I think the best dish on the menu is their oven roasted chicken for two. Unfortunately, it takes at least an hour to prep so we ordered other dishes. Food was ok, nothing special and the wait between appetizer and main was about 50 minutes. Our server had an attitude when we asked about our order. If you go order the chicken and fries. Anything else; better to go elsewhere.

    Great restaurant! Always fun with friends and family. Food options do not make you feel that guilty. Refreshing cocktails. Note that their signature dish--the roasted chicken--takes an hour to prepare..so plan ahead. The pizza and pasta options are usually first rate!

    Zuni feels more like a country club for members rather than a restaurant for upper level dining. The food was pretentious meaning it was more presentation than actual delectation, meaning actual excitement and satisfaction to the tastebuds. The giant caesar salad was overladen with contradictory taste, the polenta was blah and the chowder was on the edge of unusual but the chef chickened, so to speak, out from boldness and memorable. We spent $100 for a modest lunch, without wine and one cup of coffee, and a stingy $14 cookie plate. The lunch was going to serve as an opportunity for old friends to talk and share history, but the noise level was so loud that much of the hard to hear conversation was interrupted diner style by an over anxious wait staff that needed to take away the plates even though we were still eating and had to fend them off. Overall, Zuni needs to be renovated.

    Zuni Cafe is the spot for ALL occasions, just celebrate- that’s what we did! Our Host was extra special to move Us to a table we can sit side by side versus from across each other- this way I can feel my loving partner by my side- yes it’s this kind of place, romance, kid friendly, great wine, excellent food.

    The restaurant adds a 20 percent gratuity to the bill which is fine but their credit card charge slip still has a tip line so I expect a lot of people double tip unknowingly - we brought this to the manager’s attention. A restaurant of this caliber should know better. Food was great, service scattered .
