Finally made it over to Blackwood in the SF Marina! It's been on my bookmarks for years, but I rarely make it out this way because... let's be real... the parking is horrible. Since it's Gemini season, we came for brunch to celebrate a friend's birthday. Definitely make reservations, y'all! There was already a line when we arrived, so I'm glad I planned ahead. I ordered the Brekkie Tacos, while the table shared the soufflé eggs (one vegetarian and one with shrimp & beef), their famous Million Dollar Bacon, and a side of the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. Everything was so good! I practically inhaled my food since I skipped breakfast and had only coffee beforehand. If you're in the Marina area, I definitely recommend checking this spot out. Great food, great vibes, and most importantly... everyone left happy especially the birthday girl!

The floral ambience makes this such a dreamy brunch spot. The food looks just as good as it tastes. I also enjoyed the Thai bites, which added something different to the menu. The drinks, though, were a bit mid. Overall, it's a spot I'd recommend for brunch, especially if you're looking for a beautiful setting and Instagram-worthy food. - Pomegranate Iced Tea - Spiced Almond Lavender - Coconut Matcha Latte - Crispy Spring Rolls - Pimped Up Ramyun - Angus Beef Noodle Soup - Chicken & Waffle

Unfortunately, we were a little disappointed with the food and experience. We were able to easily make a reservation through Yelp for Saturday brunch. The restaurant was full so it ended being a good idea. The restaurant has a bit of a fancy vibe with pendant lighting and flowers along the walls. We got the Moco Benedict and the Kai Gata w/ Rainbow Potatoes. The rainbow potatoes were crunchy and fluffy on the inside, but unfortunately, some of the pieces were super salty. The poached egg on the benedict was overcooked. Parking is tough to find on the street and expensive so overall, it doesn't seem worth it for us to come back just for this.

Literally everything I ordered was amazing! The spring rolls, beef wraps, and popcorn chicken were all so good. Then came the spicy prawns and vegetables served with perfectly steamed white rice--absolutely delicious. The Blue Wave rum cocktail, beautifully presented in a crystal fish glass, was perfection. The service was on point: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and creates such a great atmosphere. This place is an absolute must-visit!

Interior

Lovely little spot right on Chestnut with indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is exquisite with its Thai fusion options and everything we ordered was delicious! I fear I did not get any photos of the food because we devoured it too quickly. We ordered the Moco Benedict, Tom Yum Shakshuka, Pad See Ew, BW scramble, and Souflegg. Portions are generous, food is colorful & flavorful. Service was great and their cocktails were also a delight. Great spot!

I came back for brunch with a larger group of friends and tried the Marina jook which was great as I needed something warm and comforting. The texture of the congee was luscious with a good amount of sesame oil and chili oil for fragrance. The bacon added a nice crunch and flavor as well. It's definitely a hearty dish and I took half of it home for later but really hit the spot. Our server was great taking different modifications and everything turned out pretty good. I tried a bit of the stone bowl rice and souffle omelet and both were yummy. Overall solid spot for brunch in the Marina but of course with Marina prices.

Solid food and drinks! The pad Thai was flavorful and i appreciated the amount of chicken, tofu and eggs. We also had the pad see you which was delightful! They didn't skimp on the meat for either dish. I will mention that the male staff who sat us wasn't very friendly and a bit standoff-ish. Other than that, i really enjoyed sitting outside, having a drink and a bite to eat while people watching.

cozy neighborhood spot with a great vibe one thing that stood out right away was the portions. they're huge, so definitely come hungry or be ready to share food was solid overall, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it a nice spot to catch up with friends over a meal would come back, especially knowing how generous the portions are

Menu

Blackwood had very standard thai dishes. Nothing that tasted bad, but I felt like there wasn't anything here that stood out in particular. I would need to order some other menu items to find out about their other types of cuisines, but based on the one I had it felt very average.

Make a reservation if you can, the wait time can be really long. It's kind of small inside but there is a small area for outdoor seating. The portion sizes are pretty decent. I had the Thai Shakshuka it came out hot(how I like it) and they mixed it for me.

Panang Curry w/ Pork
Kellie C.

We tried the Panang curry with pork, the popcorn chicken, the marina strips, and the 24 hour beef noodle soup. Popcorn chicken: I honestly felt like we could have went without this. It wasn't awful, but the chicken was a little bit dry and I felt like it was mostly breading. Marina Strips: I thought the marina ships were not bad. The beef was very tender, but the flavors were a little too strong. They use Sriracha as one of the main sauces, and it was a bit much for me. Panang Curry: I've got the Panang curry was really good. I opted with pork and everything was cooked perfectly and the flavor was fantastic. It was really good to eat with rice. 24 hour beef noodle soup: I tried a little bit of the 24 hour beef noodle soup. The soup base was very flavorful and the beef was very tender. No complaints. I came for dinner on a Saturday night around 7 PM and didn't have to wait at all. The restaurant itself is very beautiful and decorated with flowers on the walls. The staff were really nice. I would love to come back here for brunch, which is what they are known for.

This was such a cute hidden spot in San Fransico that I visited during my girls trip. The flavoring on the chicken and waffles was delicious! The chicken was cooked with a really good crisp. Then we tried some of the Thai dishes which were really good and flavorful as well. I loved the decor in the restaurant with all of the flowers.

Fried Chicken Waffle 8/10

I picked my dad up from SFO around 10am and he was craving breakfast, so I took it as the perfect opportunity to finally try Blackwood Kitchen--especially since I'd heard such great things and wanted him to enjoy a really good meal. When we walked in, the ambiance immediately stood out. The decor was gorgeous: hanging colorful florals, pink roses styled like pillars, and a beautiful mix of gold and brown tones throughout. It felt elegant, warm, and very inviting--definitely a place that makes you pause and take it all in. It was a weekday morning right before New Year's Eve, so the restaurant was empty when we arrived, which made sense with people likely out of town or at work. Once we sat down, I noticed a standing heater across from us--and quickly understood why. The space was quite cold. Our server mentioned it takes time for the heat to kick in during the mornings, so my dad and I kept our coats on while reviewing the menu. To warm us up, we ordered the Apple Pear Toddy (non-alcoholic) and it was nothing short of amazing--10/10. The burst of pear and apple flavors was perfectly balanced, comforting, and exactly what we needed to shake off the chill. It genuinely warmed us up and set the tone for the rest of the meal. To start, my dad ordered the Marina Beef Strips appetizer and really enjoyed it--9/10. The cucumber paired with the spicy beetroot sauce was flavorful with just the right kick. He's not usually a fan of spicy food, but this dish hit the mark for him. For my entrée, I ordered the chicken and waffles (8/10). The chicken was cooked perfectly and I loved the fresh berries, but the waffle leaned a bit too sweet for my taste. With the candied walnuts, syrup wasn't necessary for me. My dad also ordered the Oscar Benedict, and before even digging in, he appreciated the spinach, pimento, and capers on the side. Once everything came together--the fresh crab meat, hollandaise, and parmesan--he gave it a solid 10/10. Every bite worked beautifully. As we continued eating, more guests started to arrive, and I realized we had come in right at opening. The service was excellent--10/10. Our server checked on us multiple times, answered questions, and even complimented our menu choices, which added a nice touch and made the experience feel more engaging. Overall, this is a great spot for breakfast or brunch. The ambiance and decor alone are a 12/10, and the service was attentive and welcoming. I'd love to come back during a busier rush to see how they handle pressure, but based on this visit, they made a strong impression. One suggestion: warming the restaurant before opening--especially during the winter and rainy season--would greatly improve the guest experience. Other than that, Blackwood Kitchen is definitely worth a visit.

How is the parking situation there?

Think average SF street parking- not too vast in terms of options but you may get lucky. Parking blocks away is the standard.

Any low sodium options for someone with high blood pressure?

I don't think so

Vaccination card required?

Not anymore

It states on their website that they provide delivery, but they are always "unavailable/closed" on their platforms/apps. What's going on?

Is this place dog friendly?

They have outdoor seating in front of the restaurant that is dog friendly!

As bomb as it looks, is there bottomless mimosas?

Yes!!!! But mimosas were average at best although I am picky!

The iced Thai tea was well-balanced and not overwhelmingly sweet. The chicken waffle was also good--especially the chicken itself. It was lightly battered and crisp to perfection. I do wish the waffle was more toasted since it was a bit soggy even with barely any syrup. The fruits were fresh and tasted really yummy. As for the PaNang omelette, it was delicious!! It's filled with meat and vegetables, so it's pretty hearty. The curry was so good and had just the right amount of spice. I would highly recommend the PaNang omelette. Parking was difficult since it's in the Tenderloin, but it was definitely worth it. The workers are nice, and the place is really cute.

I made a reservation through Yelp but it seemed like they don't really check yelp for that so I would recommend to call for a table. Luckily, we showed up 30 mins early and there was a corner table near the kitchen available for my party of 5. I had the smoked salmon toast because I'm a basic bitch but whatever it was really yummy with a nice fresh half of avocado, salmon, capers.. all the fixings. The only issue about it was the two giant patty sized slices of red onion was intense. I only ate one ring of it because that's all it needed but I guess it's better for the option of more than too little? Idk not that serious. It came with a side salad that looked undressed but whatever magical dressing they put on it.. hello I need the recipe!! Peach Bellini pitcher was yummy and the brut was acceptable. My party of 5, including 2 brunch fiends and two fabulous locals, said they all really liked the food. If I'm in the area I would definitely come again! What we ordered: Chai latte Mocha Regular latte Peach Bellini liter Smoked salmon toast Smoked salmon cruffle (croissant smashed in a waffle iron) with an added poach egg Holy Chili bomb basil omelette Thai panang omelette Meat lovers omelette The restaurant is cute with a beautiful natural light. I just wish we had a better table but again, it was acceptable. We did metered parking 2 blocks away for $6 for 2.5 hours.

Wow this place was so amazing! Not only were the servers so friendly, kind, and accommodating but…read morethe food was also incredible. I loved the decor all around the restaurant with adorable cow art and a very clean feel. The servers and hosts were coming over to chat with us and just made us feel so welcome and special. From the second you walk in until the second you leave you are in good hands. It's also right across from the train so it's super easy to get there! I don't normally like horseradish, but the burger came with the perfect amount of horseradish where it tasted very fresh and added a good burst of flavor without being overwhelming! The fries were delicious and crispy. 10 out of 10 food, service, and environment. I would give them more stars if I could.

If you happen to stumble upon Marlowe like we did I'm confident that you will leave as full and…read moresatisfied as we did. A charming little bistro inspired by the Marlowe cows, I'm assuming, managed to stun us with several memorable dishes. The warm deviled eggs were an excellent start. Savory yet delicate enough to not weigh us down right at the beginning of our meal. The horseradish aioli wasn't for me, but I can see its appeal for a certain audience. You give me a Calabrian chili sauce and it's guaranteed to make me happy and this shrimp with sweet corn was no exception. Again, light but a punchy flavor that was enjoyable. I could go on and on about the different dishes we tried but the real standout of the night was the pork tenderloin with chorizo and peaches. The sweetness from the peaches somehow managed to enhance the flavor of the chorizo. This dish gives you a bold, savory and sweet bite all together but still won't have you feeling super heavy. The portion size is perfect. Im hoping to return soon for another exquisite meal.

We didn't expect a candle to come with his breakfast plate and it did & was so thoughtful & cute. I ordered the plow which has: two eggs, two lemon ricotta pancakes + plow potatoes with choice of house made pork sausage patties, bacon, or chicken apple sausage link. I went with the bacon and it did not disappoint The lemon ricotta pancakes were the star of the show so soft & yummy.
