Birthday treat
Joanne L.

Lively bar on any weekday! Owners and staff were all incredible and gave a thorough run down of their dishes. Service was also spot on. Food - The steak was pretty good with a nice chili green sauce that paired well with it. The wasabi mayo was fairly good too. Shoe string fries are always fun! We also ordered the salad which isn't pictured. Great flavor but tossed with a lottt of dressing fyi so my palette kinda got dowsed in it. Perfect if you're more dressing / flavor heavy for salads! I liked the pitted fruit inclusions. Made the dish super fresh. It's a really cute wine bar and lots of groups starting / ending their nights here. Moody lighting, pretty loud since lots of people come here to chat!!

Shoestring fries (comes with mussels)

Ambiance: lively place seated pretty fast by the bar on a weekday night. It can get crowded! Great for mid week catch up with friends or a date night Service: friendly & prompt Food: we ordered: - beef tartare : definitely the highlight of the dishes. It was smooth creamy and paired excellently with provided chips - pea and asparagus risotto: good but a little too much on the rich side for me - mussels and shoestring fries: decent! Fries were a bit on the crunchy and salty side but paired well with mussels - oysters: 3 for $12. I really enjoyed them. I think they were sourced from somewhere in the PNW. - (not pictured) we shared the honeyed strawberries with a pot of crème. Sooooo yummy but wow is it sweet! Definitely something to share, and a nice way to round out the meal. - I didn't get a wine but my friends did and the bar had generous pours

Highly recommend checking this place this out. The staff were all super nice and knowledgeable. The food was all delicious and their oysters are not badly priced. Seems like they switch their menu periodically so I will definitely be coming back to enjoy their food and wine again. Meal: Tuna Tostada- 4.5/5 Risotto- 5/5 Chicken Schnitzel- 5/5

I came here with my girlfriends, got a bottle of orange wine, steak, chicken, shrimp cocktail. It was all really good and the staff were really friendly and helpful with deciding what wine would pair nicely. Such a cute place with the fun tables and yellow decor!

Service was great at the beginning, especially when it was slow, it slowed down a little later on when the place was packed. But it was perfectly fine all around. The ambience is a very casual bar, with a few tables. It works great in this cozy little neighborhood. Food was really interesting and creative. We had clams, focaccia, milk, bread, even a couple of desserts, and the sea bass as well as the Wagyu steak. The entrées were all excellent. The desserts were a mix bag, the cake was OK, but the chocolate dessert was delicious and exception. Would definitely go back and try more.

Mushroom, cheese curds, cured egg with an herb salad
Rick G.

I dined here with my adult daughters on our first day in San Francisco. We really enjoyed it. We are actually from the Philadelphia area, so the name of the restaurant was familiar. It turns out the owner has Philly roots! Bar Jabroni is the kind of restaurant my daughters really like to find. Local, small, quirky and trying to do something interesting/different than others. It is a small place, but with several seating options. Everyone was friendly and happy to explain any items that were new to us. They also had daily specials, which we were happy to sample. One of my daughters has a fish allergy, and they were great about reassuring us that she would be safe with the dishes we ordered. We like to share dishes. We ordered the spring green, avocado and cotija cheese salad. We also had a really interesting mushroom, cheese, cured egg and herb dish. Both were unique (to me!) and tasty. For heavier dishes we ordered the chicken schnitzel and a special item from the chef, a sliced jamon dish seasoned beautifully. The chef even came out to see if we liked it. For dessert we shared a carrot cake. Really fun meal. Highly recommended.

Oysters!
Colleen P.

Lovely atmosphere, excellent and friendly service, delicious wine and oysters. Service is everything for me, and this spot made me feel like I was a regular with just my first visit. The bartender was warm and knowledgeable in a very genuine way. Unfortunately, we had dinner reservations elsewhere, but we were nearly drooling over the plates that were coming out for other guests. Already looking for excuses to get back to the city and hang out here again.

Came here on a weeknight and snagged a bar spot for 2 people! Small bar and bites place in lower haight. Would come here mainly for drinks/ wine selection. Food was good but not standout and very slightly on the pricier side for the portion. Definitely a vibe in here though!

Went to celebrate a birthday and had a great experience. Service was top notch and we never felt rushed but were well attended to the entire time. The wine list is great--many amazing wines for very reasonable prices. Food was delicious and fresh but really not meant to be shared with multiple people so get your own main. I do wish that the stools had some back support, by the end of the night I was ready to lean back and relax at home.

Wagyu and shoestring fries
Madison N.

Love going to Pal City so we checked out Bar Jabroni last night! Enjoyed an amazing bottle of wine and a few items from their menu. Loved everything from the tables to the ambiance and friendly service. The shoestring fries were the thinnest I've ever seen. Dreaming of them!!

Fish we sent back
Jessie H.

The food started off delicious but ended in a huge failure of a fish dish. We are finding that it is hard for many places to execute fish properly. We really enjoyed every other dish we order but sadly had to send the fish back. Not only did it taste bad( way too fishy) it was also over salted and tasted of bacon. It sat it a liquid that was a brine or a light watery sauce. The service was excellent, they went above and beyond to make it right which we highly appreciated! The ambiance was cool with chartreuse being the main color, very cool tiled tables and candle in wine bottles lining the back of the bar. We believe the menu changes often since we were given recommendations on what to order from a friend but didn't see those items on the menu. I would give this place another chance because I really wanted to love it. It fell short by just a smidge.

We'd been hearing about Bar Jabroni forever but finally snagged a res and WOW. Every single thing we ate was unreal. We kicked it off with the beef tartare (Szechuan peppercorn, kumquat, like, yes??), then tore through the house focaccia with whole milk ricotta. That bread was gone in seconds. The romanesco cauliflower was such a surprise hit - charred, nutty, saucy, crunchy - all of it. For mains, we got the strozzapreti with pork sugo (so rich and cozy) and the black cod pil pil, which was buttery, flaky perfection with these crispy potatoes I still dream about. The wine? A+++ no notes. Perfect pairings, super interesting list. We wanted to try everything. Vibe is laid back but cool, like a wine bar and a bistro had a hot, fun baby. Honestly the whole thing was a 10. We're already planning to go back and order everything we didn't get to this time.

Beef tartare
Jennifer L.

Really attentive service, good food and good wine selection! We celebrated a birthday here and were warmly welcomed by the staff. Every dish was delicious, with the shrimp louie and pappardelle mushroom ragu being my favorites. One minor critique is I would have preferred the pappardelle to be less al dente and maybe a little thinner. Nonetheless it was my favorite dish of the night. We ended the meal with a nice buttermilk and sesame cake.

Zazie is a local, beloved institution. I grew up around the corner on Ashbury. I've been a…read morecustomer here since they opened, in the late 80's? or early 90's? The food is excellent, the "Un, Deux, Trois" (egg, pancake/French toast and bacon or sausage) is my go-to breakfast, along with a big bowl with a latte or "un chocolat". Lunch and dinner menus change seasonally, but the salads/ veggies are always super fresh, and along with pastas, they always have tempting meat, poultry and fish dishes. Their desserts are consistently fantastic. I lived in Paris after college, and Zazie (based on the film, Zazie Dans Le Metro) is absolutely, authentically French. The French mom I worked for is the only person I know who did this dish better. So, whenever I find it on the menu, I order their Rabbit Stew. It's simply divine. I keep returning for the food, but honestly, the service and atmosphere are equally top-notch. The best kept "secret" is they have Monday evenings reserved for dogs on the back patio. There's usually a special on wine, and they have doggie treats! You have to experience it to believe it. Honestly, you could easily be in a quaint French village bistro, surrounded by all the townspeople, and their canine companions, big and small. It's the best. Zazie is literally one of my all-time favorite places in the world for breakfast/brunch, equally fabulous for a French date night, or special place to treat "out of towners". But my all-time favorite is the Monday Dog Nights!! My husband and I took my Italian Greyhound here many, many times. Jack McCoy gives it "2 Dew Claws Up". A classic.

Out for a long awaited dinner w spouse on FRODAY. The main…read morething that deserves the one STAR is the FOOD. I'm not even considering the 1 hr 45 min wait for the food as ALMOST THE ENTIRE patio of guests were in the same situation. 1. Pate Maison - a THICK, almost frozen, slab of tasteless pate came out on a cold, previously grilled, thin cut of what may have once been good bread. Pate was UNspreadable and fell off the bread in crumbles and chucks, revealing overly buttery cold and smushed bread structure underneath. It was AWEFUL such that I spit out my bite into a napkin. I declined a replacement with anything off the menu after the server inquired about me not eating it. 2. Dinner roll w a round of butter. It was a plain, white roll that is likely $1 at a local Safeway. And it was cold. I did not eat it. 3. Mushroom Ravioli - came about an hour after the pate. Ravioli were ok but only AFTER one scrapes the mud-colored EXTREMELY salty sauce they came buried in. There were literally 6 arugula on top that could not kill the salt in my mouth after one bite. AWFUL! 4. Pork chop - huge with 2 bones in. Looked ok but cause of the thickness, the more outer layers were OVERcooked and only the inner was ok. Plus, there was a mildl flavor of previously used fat/oil for the searing process. UNAPPETIZING! The gratin potatoes were ok but one does not pay almost $50 for a square of potatoes. We took the above home without complaints mainly bc we felt bad for the waitress, who already had patron next to us tell her they were starving and wanted to leave. I ate a $2 yogurt at home after putting the left overs in compost - and bemoaning a waste of $130 hard earned dollars. I give Food - a FAIL. SERVICE - our waitress was an attractive tall gal, put together and nice enough. However, she was minimally attentive, perhaps because the restaurant was way overbooked for what they could reasonably handle. So I would give service a C grade. AMBIANCE - warm lit and bustling, crowded, mostly clean. Wall posters (French) looked bleached by the sun and age. Floor to the patio was slick w grease and water, so a fall risk for some. I give ambiance a B grade. Sadly, my conclusion is AVOID unless they improve. We will NOT be returning to find out if they do.

The Ice Cream Bar is popular, so prepare for a wait since they take the time and care to make your order. It's located on a nice block with street parking, but it's also a busy area in general and probably easier to walk to. They have menus and a small seating area outside. Inside is a great throwback to 30s/40s art decor style, with the main ice cream counter to the right and the actual bar at the back. They have different ice creams available by the scoop in a cold dish, or opt for a made-daily waffle cone. They have classic toppings as well. Once you order, you pay towards the back. The bar area itself offers alcohol, perfect for a Guinness float or to add a little something extra to a milkshake or sundae. Prices are reasonable for the quality. The servers were so welcoming and eager to please with special requests as well. If you're an ice cream fan, this one is worth coming to enjoy.

Open late and perfect for a final stop on a nice walk. Bar seating available if you prefer that vibe. The banana pudding and morello cherry ice cream are amazing. The mint chip is also super good.

Oh-em-gee-times-ten....I was either REALLY hungry or the dish was THAT good! (it was that good!). The serving was generous and satisfying and was accompanied with salad greens tossed in a vinaigrette dressing. I am salivating as I write this. Son - breakfast burrito. He liked it. It was simple: scrambled eggs, bacon in a spinach tortilla. His young age did not help his appreciation of a green tortilla, so.....he only ate half Daughter - granola, fruit, yogurt parfait. She demolished it and enjoyed every bite. And, even carried her leftovers with her (all day, might I add) and ate them for breakfast in the hotel the next morning. To supplement their meals I ordered a side of toast and roasted potatoes. We ate with gusto! My cappuccino (which I only seem to order when I'm in San Francisco) was delicious and gave me enough energy to walk those hills with ease.
