    Guacamole, rice paper rolls and hummus

    I hosted my birthday celebration here and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Debi was fantastic--very communicative, organized, and helpful leading up to the event. On the night of the party, the staff were incredibly friendly and professional. The food was also delicious (you have to try the quesadillas) and my guests really enjoyed it. Overall it was such a fun celebration and I'm very grateful to the team for making it special. Highly recommend hosting a special event here! Thank you Debi and team!

    My friend and I randomly walked by this place and were so glad we found it! The whole experience from the beginning, being greeted by the kind and welcoming person checking IDs, to the extensive menu and attentive, knowledgeable support from the bartender, to the live band playing that night was just outstanding! We came after dinner just for drinks but the food menu looks fantastic too so we will be back. Definitely check this place out if you're looking for lively night out!

    Our neighborhood bar that has consistently served us great food and drinks over the years. It has something for everyone and caters to most dietary needs - and includes some good N/A selection. Great menu of tapas. Great to come for a mid-week dinner and drink and on the weekends for many live music and DJ events . Love this place !

    Events!

    What I loved about Asiento was how Debi, the owner, made event planning effortless. I hosted a themed birthday party for 20 guests there, and every detail, from start to finish, was flawless. Debi is superwoman. Her kindness, attention to detail, thoughtfulness, responsiveness, and communication are exceptional. You can tell she has a good heart. I contacted her through the business event email, and she immediately put me at ease. She patiently answered questions before I even had to ask them, such a high level of service! For larger parties, you can order ahead, and Debi ensures the food is perfectly timed, whether it's appetizers or dishes that need to be served hot. She walked around, serving, taking care of our guests. It's clear when someone genuinely cares about their business (AND COMMUNITY!) and Debi exemplifies that. Patio is heated! As for the food, we ordered: -Guacamole platter (serves 8-10) -Hummus platter (serves 8-10) -Shrimp quesadilla (delicious shrimp with gooey cheese) -Carnitas quesadilla -Carnitas bocadillo (cut into small sandwiches, great for groups) -Tinga chicken bocadillo (also cut into small sandwiches, very tasty) Be sure to check out their website and calendar. there's always something going on, from DJs to live bands! Everyone is welcome here, and the whole vibe is fantastic. The bouncer at the door was also a great guy. All around good people. After, I discovered that Vida Boutique is located upstairs which is their additional event space (just head out and find the door to the right of the main entrance). It's a pop-up repurposed costume boutique open on Thursdays, Friday, Saturdays evenings. DRINK then SHOP! The selection is full of unique finds and stylish pieces! If you're in need of a costume, this is the place to go. Liv, who hosts the boutique, is incredibly warm and welcoming too! That night, I left feeling so full of love. THANK YOU!

    Everything from the overall ambience ( the owner actually paid attention to noise reduction), to the well-balanced cocktail and super tasty nibbles...everything was great. Will def be back next week!

    The vibe

    Great bartenders and my favorite gluten-free burger in the area. Yes, it's bread, but it holds up to all the delicious goodness without falling apart. It doesn't get any better than this!

    Asiento nightclub is amazing for events both day and night. I played a gig with Sara and Maculate, who are regular DJs there. when they play the place is packed. Definitely pop in whenever either of em are on the decks! This place has proper food options too. Its a one stop nightlife joint.

    This is a cool relax place to meet with people. Great service and good food and drink options. Good space to enjoy an evening.

    Quesadilla, hot chocolate

    We stumbled upon this bar on a Friday night after getting dinner at a nearby Mission restaurant. We initially thought it was a Mexican/Latin cantina type place from the name but it turned out to be a regular old neighborhood bar. The staff made us feel very welcome and had some great recommendations (like adding peanut butter whiskey to our hot chocolate). The food portions are also great for the price. After a while, a DJ popped up in the corner and started playing some interesting tracks. You can't help but think that this is what old San Francisco used to be like - friendly, with just the right amount of weirdness.

    I came here after the Carnival fest with a big group of friends on a Sunday and we had a great time. The music was fun and we all were dancing for a while. There wasn't a lot of people but I think it was a good amount. We ordered some food and I dont know if it's because we were drinking but we loved the food. I remember the fries and the meatballs being really good. I also remember them closing super early on that Sunday.

I was craving a refreshing craft cocktail and got one with the Green Emmanuelle. I liked the cardamom in the Beauty Mark as well that my partner ordered. We ordered shishito peppers and mushroom bahn mi sliders. The mushroom bahn mi sliders were amazing - the quality fillings and taste of the soft bun - I was unexpectedly hit with a bite of spice from maybe jalapeño seeds left but didn't sour my experience. The shishito peppers ended up being extremely spicy as well, those are usually just a few spicy and not the majority. The roasted lemon and salt was a wonderful combo but just too spicy to eat. However, the server very kindly removed it from our bill without us asking. We order the crostini because we were still hungry and that was an absolute hit. Delicious med-soft crostini with luscious berries and sweet honey. I didn't care my hands got sticky as it was soooo good! Great experience, I would be weary if the peppers as I'm a bit spice-intolerant but everything else was spot-on.

I think in many ways, Blind Pig just fell a little flat. I would like to say that the service here was amazing. A bartender who sat with you to talk about the menu, the process, and your experience very passionately and intently.  However, I think that the bar program is a little unrefined. Every drink had 10,000 ingredients, and most of them did not work together. If the drink did work together, you just tasted nothing because everything blended together and you couldn't taste any special or fun ingredients.  Unfortunately, I don't think this spot is worth looking for.

Seeing that it was named one of the top 50 best bars in North American, we had to check it out! We came in a Thursday night in mid-April about 9:45 PM. They have security outside thar checks IDs & also manages the queue in case the bar gets too crowded. We had no issues getting in, but there were zero indoor seats available - both the bar & table seating. Thankfully, they have a really cozy & well-lit patio area. The waitress let us know that even the outdoor patio has table-side service, so we made ourselves comfortable on the outdoor bench & within seconds she had brought us waters & cocktail menus. Weather outside was really nice, so I'm glad we actually sat outside. Each cocktail is $20, which definitely is a little steep, but I think the creativity, quality, & prestige of being named a top 50 bar supports the price. Each part of the menu is organized by liquor ie whiskey, vodka, brandy, gin, etc. We tried 4 drinks total. I only took menu photos of the pages we ordered from but they have a lot more selections. We ordered the Kung Fu Pandan, Silky Street, Rice Rice Baby, & Tropical Gangsta. We had some favorites over others, but all were very well crafted! The drinks came out pretty quickly considering how busy it was. The only hiccup was our final drink took quite a while. Turns out the ticket machine malfunctioned & deleted orders put in & caused a back-up. The waitress was so apologetic & ended up comp-ing 2 drinks, which she definitely didn't have to but it speaks volumes to the high standards they hold themselves to & their customer service.

I took my two friends here for a birthday celebration, and it was so magnificent.  It looks very unassuming from the host stand, but you are transported into a beautiful dining area as you are ushered in. Lush velvet booths, a beautiful mural behind a magnificent bar top, and even perfect table ware!! I love when restaurants pay attention to details. Everything I ordered was delicious. The oysters, uni amaebi donburi (Sea Urchin & Raw Shrimp Rice Bowl), Tom Kha Ceviche, and the chicken egg salad sandwich. The bites were truly so decadent, balanced, and well-executed. The oysters were fresh, plump, and perfectly topped with sweet and citrusy flavors. The bite of the night was the uni amaebi bowl. They load you up on sea urchin, shrimp, and roe. It is bursting with flavor, and paired with PERFECTLY COOKED RICE.  The drinks were also amazing! I got the matcha cocktail and the espresso martini. I mean... phenomenal. Everyone wants to do a matcha cocktail, but I don't think a single bar program is going to put one out as perfect as Shoji's. It's delicate and earthy, and the perfect drink to pair with their menu.  Dessert was also good! Tea-based affogatos. They're fun. Ugh, I want to live in SF just so I can frequent Shoji. I will be back for dinner and to try their day time cafe. Get a reservation if you can, it is so worth it!
