    Salted butter w/ bread!
    Lisa H.

    Finally came by to see what came in after The Slanted Door. Very serene cream space- open and airy. Not the same, nearly round booths but- booths with a long couch vibe Sat outside for fresh air and it was nice and chill- but clear panel to the random people sitting out on the otherwise can be a bit distracting. Offered still or sparkling chilled water. Also had a great iced black tea. Started with the Ahi, Olives and the bread & butter! Olives were orange zest flavors and some spice. Very good and the tuna was very delicious all kinds of little somethings that made it so delicious. The bread and butter was SO fresh and perfect! Even if u are gluten free- you will be okay. It's San Francisco! I ended going with the Gem Salad with chicken- which was warm poached? And sliced- , couldn't finish the chicken with all those starters. Dessert menu looked amazing but was full! Definitely will come back again. Glad it is a nice, chill & delicious restaurant still.

    Leek dip and chips
    Lily Z.

    Recently visited Arquet on a Saturday afternoon and had raw oysters, sour dough and butter, chips & dip, and spicy chicken sandwich. All of which had a unique texture and tastes. The French fries were absolutely delicious and crunchy! I didn't like the spicy fried chicken as it was a tad on the bland side. The texture for the sour dough was also on the tough side . Service was surprisingly slow considering there are around 30 staff working in the kitchen. It did take them the whole meal to refill our waters. There's an open kitchen concept which is nice, but you're left wondering why there's so many cooks in the kitchen

    Trendy restaurant that replaced Slanted Door. Beautiful decor and spacious setting that includes an open kitchen and tables + booths. Got in early for a 5:30 reservation that can only be made online - it'll also tell you so if you try to call in. We were seated right away and given a rundown of the menu. We ordered a little bit of everything from each category. Standouts were the fish, hen of the woods mushrooms, and the porterhouse although for $195, there's not a lot of it. Honestly things were tasty but on the pricier side with the exception of the pork chop which I felt was a tad dry. Around $500+ for 4 adults and 2 kids (8 months and 2 years old) - includes 2 alcoholic beverages, a mocktail and a glass of milk. There's a private room on the back on the way to the bathroom. No changing tables available which makes it difficult when you have 2 little ones who need a fresh diaper. Serving time was also on the slower side where there's a pretty long gap between dishes. This bit in the kids' bedtime despite the early dinner time. Service was friendly. Noise level was fine.

    Scallion fried bread and fresh ricotta
    Sam P.

    Every now and then you come across a restaurant that will be memorable for years to come and Arquet is one such restaurant! The whole experience was absolutely amazing ! Housed in the Ferry Building in the former Slanted Door space, this is being, modern with stunning Bay views as well as an open kitchen. Service was phenomenal throughout the night and each dish was nothing short of amazing! We love to order lots of smaller dishes and did so here with our waiter coursing it out in a way that made sense! We began with oysters - fresh and delicious, their smoked olives, some of the best I have ever had, scallion fried bread with ricotta which was out of Thai world and chips and a fava bean dip also delicious. Then we enjoyed blue fin tuna, yellowtail and the Monterey squid with octopus! Every bite perfect . Ended with a couple of desserts, my belly is way too full but it was worth every bite as this was a memorable meal !

    Beet salad - this one was good

    DO NOT GO! This restaurant has poor customer service, the staff is entitled and act like they are doing you a favor. They are in the ferry building- so definitely not that fancy to justify the "attitude" of the servers. Our server, Sarah was not a good listener. I didn't like my drink so I expressed that to her just to have her look at me and say: oh... ok. - looking at me with disgust and disbelief- didn't offer anything else. I then asked to see the wine menu. The yellow submarine drink www awful. The staff barely makes eye contact with you during interactions. The food was just ok. Nothing that I would want to go back for. Not inexpensive either- so be aware. Dessert was good - cappuccino was good. I would just say the staff ruined for us. No one looks happy. Not returning. Oh... and they sent my friend a slice of cake for her bday: the cake was hard and dry. Like..,. Omg, insane.

    Sea bass and chicken
    James L.

    Took over the former space of Slanted door. This place is pretty hip with modern decor. Everything was ala carte, so we selected a few dishes - raw oysters, lemon noodles (great flavor), half a chicken (moist) , sea bass,potatoes, and for dessert, tiramisu with seasame ice cream (the ice cream was so good). Evwrything was flavorful and the service on point. It was a good meal with a view of the bay bridge waterfront. Worth going. .

    Huge open space with lots of seating. Isolated from the hustle and bustle of the ferry building. Prices are high though! We came for lunch on Sunday and were seated immediately. ordered the burger and fish. The fish portion was smaller than I expected but very tender and fresh. Overall welcome new addition to the ferry building. Would be good for a bougie brunch or corporate meal

    We had an impromptu date night at Arquet so didn't really plan to make reservations in advance but wanted to shoot our shot for a walk-in. The hostess was very accommodating and let us know that they could make arrangements for a table al fresco if we waited half an hour. We gladly obliged but the wait ended being more like 10 minutes so we were already off to a good start. After we were seated outdoors (with amazing views of the bay bridge, I might add), we were given a menu promptly and the wait staff went over the details of the menu as well as some really great recommendations for the bone marrow and the hot honey chicken. Both recs were on point, the bone marrow came with some sort of fig butter which tasted heavenly when paired with a soft brioche bread. We dipped the extra bread in the bone marrow juices afterwards too. The Dungeness crab on toast was also full of flavor: creamy, a hint of herbaceous goodness and the sturdy toast used as a vessel into your mouth. The hot honey chicken did not miss: honey flavor on the crisp skin, soft and juicy chicken on the inside. Perhaps the best chicken I've tasted apart from that one fried chicken place in Napa. We ended the night with some sorbet (generous scoops of guava & mango) which we absolutely demolished. Service throughout the evening was excellent. Not over bearing but attentive enough. The wait staff checked in a couple of minutes after every dish was served, the plates were "refreshed" after appetizers and entrees and crumbs from the table were removed promptly in between dishes. The service is perhaps what sets Arquet apart from similar restaurants on the spectrum. We will return to Arquet for many, many more impromptu date nights and celebrations. Also, don't really need a reason to go, just go?

    High 4.2/4.4 of 5 for me!! Surprised the reviews aren't edging well past the 4 mark here. Honestly a must try PERIOD. Menu is seasonal so it'll change up, but I loved the ricotta, Greek yogurt dish. The whole fish was .. incredible. Pappardelle was exactly what I'd imagine freshly made pasty to taste and feel like. Mushrooms? I would pass next time. Baked oysters delivered! Last minute decision but a star. Crème brûlée was yummy but most importantly what my cousin wanted! Clean modern, well designed throughout. Ceramic dishes. Fast when they switch out plates, water refills, small touches that make a big difference like replacing a napkin that fell. Only tiny thing was service felt rushed at times, upon check in and ordering, completely fine since it was busy, but it's always a bit nicer when I can ask a few things about the menu and be checked in on here and there. Through and through highly recommend :)

    west coast oysters, espresso martini, side of fries
    Jasa M.

    what a vibey little restaurant in the ferry building with great views of the bridge right outside! all the staff we encountered were so nice and attentive as soon as we walked in. all of the food we ordered was amazing! the clams and oysters were really fresh, but me and my husband both agreed the broth in the clams needed a little more of something. the paccheri was our fav!!! the sauce paired with the mushrooms was amazing. the only thing we didn't like was the espresso martini but the server told us us they just have a classic martini with just vodka and espresso so be aware of that if you like kahlua and baileys in yours!

    hochija tiramisu with black sesame ice cream
    Benjamin S.

    This review is more like 4.5 stars because don't want to necessarily add to the hype. Arquet is buzzing right now, and it does do a lot right. I was visiting San Francisco for the night so made reservations to check this new spot, which took over the former Slanted Door space at the Ferry Building. It's a gorgeous space and service from the front of the house to my server was top notch, professional and yet still friendly. The huge open kitchen really adds to the show for the restaurant, and the menu can feel overwhelming with the different sections but all can combine to an interesting meal. Here's what I ate: -- Seaweed lavash, iacopi white bean hummus, dandelion pesto, smoked trout roe. I was tempted by the seaweed lavash, and while it came out paper thin, the seaweed flavor was subtle. I was hoping more nori flavor, but it wasn't too dominant. The hummus was thick and creamy, and there was a lot left over in ratio to the lavash pieces that came with it. -- grilled county line gems, endive, asian pear, anchovy green goddess, walnut, alpine cheese. My favorite of the night for the freshness, and complexity in flavors and texture. Just a well-rounded salad. -- sakura rack of pork, grilled black, apple, dirty girl spigarello, spicy mustard seed jus. I had a lively discussion with my server about what diners envision when they see the words "rack of pork" on the menu. I imagined it to be like a rack of lamb, but instead, it was a huge pork chop. She said the chef said the rack of pork comes from the same cut as the pork chop so that's why it could be confusing, so basically this was a juicy thick pork chop. It was cooked perfectly and paired with classic winter flavors of apple and mustard. I had it with a side of potatoes. -- hochija tiramisu. I'm obsessed with hochija so was excited to get this dessert, and while overall the cake portion was nice, I didn't get a strong hochija flavor. So it almost seemed like a chocolate cake. Overall I thought the food was solid and at times creative, but not everything lives up to the ingredients featured on the menu. Still, it's such a beautiful space and great service, it's worth coming back and explore the seasonal changes to the menu.

    Hot guava cocktail, candy cap cocktail and green onion fry bread with whipped Buffalo mozzarella with salsa matcha and honey. Delicious!
    Nicole B.

    Review is for drinks, snack and dessert at the bar. Cocktails are amazing. Complex, well balanced. We wandered in after happy hour after work and there was plenty of room to order at at bar(with a little Patience). We chatted with another couple before we ordered and they convinced us to order the fry breaded buffalo ricotta as a snack and 10/10 will always order it. Finished off with a chocolate terrine that was creamy crunchy goodness. Service is friendly and warms. The restaurant itself is very pretty. The menu is not very large, but if everything is as good as the what we've had so far I wouldn't be mad.

    Duck liver mousse with brulee top! (So satisfying)
    Amy X.

    Ambiance: This restaurant is located in a corner of the Ferry building, lined with windows in an open space. The open kitchen layout is also nice, if you like watching some behind the scenes action. The space wasn't too loud and there's plenty of seating. Maybe we were lucky because it was lunch, but I would highly recommend getting a reservation. I hear their dinner reservations are harder to get. Service: We were seated right away and given several menus and water for the table. I didn't feel we had to wait a long time to order, but our waitress checked in a few times to see if we wanted to start off with drinks, etc. When we finally ordered, she did ask if we wanted our food to come out as it was made, or to course it out. We're fine with everything coming at the same time. The only issue was that our water glasses were empty and we had to ask for water, rather than have it noticed and filled. Not a big deal, overall, but we were thirsty. Food: I didn't realize we ordered all bread products, but we were okay with that. San Francisco Sourdough with cultured butter - sourdough was perfect, soft on the inside with a nice outer crust. The salted butter was creamy and super easy to spread. The stamping was a nice touch. Liberty Duck Liver Brulée - comes with a mandarin jam and grilled bread, both paired with the duck very well. It was really fun cracking the top and balanced the sweet with the savory of the duck. The liver was creamy and not overly salty, which is preferred for me and I would highly recommend it. Littleneck Clams with Herbs - the flavors were amazing. I loved the fennel incorporation and the broth it was simmered in. My friend and I were dipping our bread in it and drinking the broth by the spoonfuls. This is where I had to knock a star off - there was SO MUCH SAND in the clams. About 85% of the clams I ate had sand in it. We were biting and going, "aww man" after most bites. We still finished it, because it was still delicious and fresh, but man!! The sand! I should have taken the broth to go and bought a whole bread loaf at ACME and grilled and dipped. It was so good. Overall, I would recommend trying this restaurant, the quality of the food is good and everything we got was flavorful but not too much.

It seems like this place is an asian fusion brunch place incorporating french dishes into thai/asian themed dishes which is up our alley. We made a reservation at 1:45 PM and we had to wait for about an extra 30 minutes before getting seated. Initially, I wanted to try their crab fried rice but unfortunately they were out of crab. We decided to get the Alcatraz Escape and the Brioche french toast which were recommended by the wait staff. The staff was generally friendly and accommodating but I can tell they were swamped and stressed out with all the people they were trying to serve. The food itself tasted decent, the Alcatraz Escape had a tasty flavor which incorporates tom yum paste (sweet, sour, tangy flavor) into their scramble with about 4 shrimps. The side of crispy chicken was good but nothing that stood out to us. The brioche was soft but there wasn't much flavoring besides the fruits and caramelized banana. It was served with evaporated milk which made the brioche soft but not adding much flavor to it. The price however was quite pricey. For two dishes as a side we paid around $78 with tax and tip.

The truffled ham and cheese croquettes had a delightful creamy spice to them due to the harissa inside them, it was so savory with a layered flavor to them.

I think my very minor issue would be that I ordered non-alcoholic beverage packages for my entire party and alcoholic beverages for a few, and I would say that the selection could be a bit more expansive and also elaborate upon what beverages there are to choose from. An inclusive cocktail package would be fantastic. I would recommend this location for anyone looking to host a corporate event nearby Fidi.
