Sweet Board for Two. Underneath the Waffle is Brioche French Toast, and two pieces of Sausage and Bacon.
Randy B.

Before checking out of our hotel, my girlfriend and I decided to have a Monday morning brunch at Board & Drink at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. The restaurant was packed at 10 AM and I knew right away that we were in for a treat. The friendly, attentive staff made Board & Drink one of the best brunch spots in the city. They also have a great menu full of amazing food and drink options to share. We were drawn to the Sweet Board for two. Served on a large wooden board, this family-style meal served up a wonderfully fresh array of berries, housemade berry butter, Nutella, pure maple syrup, and your choice of a combination of either bacon, sausage, eggs, waffles, brioche French toast, or pancakes. We decided to go with our own two styles of eggs, and share two pieces of bacon, two sausages, an order of brioche French toast and waffle. Less than 15 minutes later, our friendly waiter delivered an amazing array full of colorful and appetizing breakfast items. The entire meal was spot on and delicious. Perfectly cooked eggs, fresh, sweet berries and a tasty berry butter to spread on top of the outstanding fluffy brioche French toast and waffle. The staff were great and the fellow patrons were friendly. The whole environment had a very welcoming feeling. Bathrooms are clean and well-maintained. I'll definitely be back next time I visit SFO and if you are lucky to score a table, you're in for a treat. Enjoy!

French toast

Good food and quick service, but definitely pricey. Our server took our order promptly but never checked back to see if we needed anything. Overall, a good breakfast spot, but the service could be more attentive for the price.

Classic Benedict and Bloody Mary
Holly Z.

I was looking for a cute, quiet and safe neighborhood. It was early when I got there so no lines. The staff were very energetic and ready to help with any questions. I felt very welcomed. I had a Bloody Mary- OMG delicious I loved the spiciness!!

Eggs Benedict
Gillian Gail A.

The staff does well with busy times making sure everyone is still getting seen and does their best accommodating! Wait can be long so be prepared! Really efficient and nice staff. Waffle was 10/10. The fresh fruit butter was so good not too sweet. It was perfect w the waffle. Benedict, I upgraded to the loaded tater tots which was soooo good. But I didn't really like that the muffin was twice the size as the ham and eggs lol. Their hollandaise sauce had a tang which isn't my vibe. But overall, it was still good.

CAME HUNGRY, LEFT OBSESSED. So we came across the Bay for a doctor's appointment, only to find out my doctor wasn't even there ... and by this point, your girl was HANGRY. My fiancé started searching for breakfast spots, we saw the food pics and reviews for this place, and said, "Okayyy, let's try it!" And honestly? 10/10 decision. You can immediately tell this is a family-run spot. The teamwork is REAL! you can feel the unity and love in the way everyone moves around the restaurant. The energy was high, the place was busy, but our food still came out FAST! Now let's get into the food because BABYYYY... We ordered the board for two, and when it came out, I literally said, "Oh... this is for TWO?!" The portion was HUGE and everything was so flavorful. This is absolutely the kind of breakfast you order when you want to share and try a little bit of everything. And honestly, if our kiddos had been with us, we could've easily fed them off this board too! And the coffee?! GOOD. I'm currently trying to wean myself off sugar in my coffee, and I was pleasantly surprised that this wasn't bitter at all. I didn't even need to add anything! The ONLY heartbreak was finding out they were sold out of the banana pudding cold foam. Because excuse me?! Banana pudding foam on an iced coffee sounds like something I NEED in my life. But clearly, that just means we have to come back. There are SO many things on the menu that I want to try, the portions are generous, the food is delicious, the atmosphere is fun, and you can genuinely feel the family behind the business. Definitely adding this one to the breakfast rotation. We'll be back! ‍

I usually go to this place whenever I'm in San Francisco. Loooove their grilled cheese and tomato soup. The tomato soup is so creamy paired with the grilled cheese is such comfort food!!! There's usually a line but the people working there are fast and precise with how long the wait will take. They're also open to explaining the dishes and recommendations. There isn't a huge vibe here, kinda small but food is good.

Shakshuka
Riya S.

AWESOME BRUNCH SPOT!!! We wanted to get drinks since we were celebrating a birthday, and the servers were super kind about bringing out champagne bottles and different juices for us to DIY our mimosas. They also gave us a bottle on the house to celebrate!! The food was absolutely delicious, and the portion sizes were crazy. We all got our own items and shared the sweet board, and we had plentyyy of food to spare and take home. I really enjoyed how many different dips, syrups, and types of butter we had to spread on the pancakes, but the real star of the show was the shakshuka!!! One of the best I've ever had -- so spicy, fresh, and filling!! All in all, I love this place and would definitely go back again and again :)

Mushroom, spinach, onion, grape tomatoes and Swiss omelet
Todd B.

Talk about a small, quaint little breakfast place that has super friendly staff and outrageously good food. This is it. Thank goodness we went early because we were on East Coast time. We had an absolutely delicious meal. Great conversation with the staff and we beat the rush.

Savory Pancake
Kellie C.

Walked in on a Saturday around noon with a party of 10 people and didn't have to wait long at all! I ordered the savory pancakes and the group ended up ordering mimosas and a sweet board for the table. The savory pancakes were delicious and so unique!! I've never seen anything like this served at a restaurant before so I just had to order it. The tater tots, though basic, were FANTASTIC. I finished my whole basket in one seating. I thought the mimosas were a bit overpriced, but we were celebrating a birthday so we still ordered it. The staff were very accommodating to our large party and even gifted us another bottle of champagne for the birthday girl. The sweet board (for 2) was MASSIVE and very very delicious. I would order it again, but be wary that it might actually feed 3-4. Fantastic experience overall, I would come back. Note: the auto charge 20% gratuity for parties of 4 or larger

Solo board
Sherry T.

Was craving breakfast and looked this place up. Came in on Monday morning and luckily was seated right away. Went for the solo board and wasn't disappointed. I picked bacon, over hard eggs, and pancakes. It also came with yogurt and a drink. Service was incredibly humble and nice. Definitely recommend this place to get breakfast.

I ended up making an early morning solo breakfast run to Board and Drink while the rest of my family was still sleeping, and I was shocked to find the place already packed. It was Memorial Day weekend, so maybe that explains it, but it still seemed impressive for how early it was. After eating there, I understood why. I ordered a matcha latte and the French toast, and I'm still thinking about that French toast. It was easily the standout of the meal and something I'd order again without hesitation. The menu in general is excellent, with plenty of options that made it difficult to choose. I ended up putting our family's name down while I was there, and thankfully when they arrived later they were seated right away. My husband ordered the breakfast burrito, which seems to get a lot of love in the reviews, but it wasn't his favorite item. Not bad, just not something he'd rush back for. One thing that stood out was the service. Despite how busy they were, everyone was quick, efficient, and genuinely kind. Every time we walked by there seemed to be a line outside, though we were visiting during Memorial Day weekend so that may have played a role. Either way, it's easy to see why people are willing to wait. Definitely worth checking out, and if you're debating the French toast, get it.

Savory pancakes
Joey W.

Came here for brunch and it was packed. We waited 30 mins to get seated and the service was fast. Savory pancakes had scallions, cheddar, and bacon which was a nice combination. I've never had savory pancakes but these were pretty good. These pancakes were very thin so it wasn't fluffy. The tater tots added some nice crunch.

Vanilla latte
Madi S.

We were here last weekend, and what a great experience! Saturday morning in San Fransisco, I was prepared to have to wait a good bit. I was shocked to be able to sit within minutes of walking up. The waiter even ran down to what I assume is a sister restaurant to get a third chair for us. The food came out a lot quicker than expected too, and it was delicious! My husband's burrito was piping hot and he said it was so yummy. The portion was huge too, he couldn't finish it. My son got chocolate chip pancakes, and in my option they were wayyyy too sweet, but he loved them haha. I got eggs, potatoes and sausage links. Eggs were cooked just right, and the potatoes were delicious, the seasoning was to die for. The sausage was good and well cooked. I got a vanilla latte which was delicious and not over sweet, my only problem with this is it came in a glass with no handle and was very hot to hold. The orange juice tasted very fresh. Overall we were super impressed with this place, and would gladly visit again.

Their menu changes on a seasonal basis and I would definitely come back again to try other dishes. The restaurant itself is comfortable and beautiful with a dreamy ambiance. The service is very attentive to detail, switching out our plates and silverware between every dish and wiping the table. The presentation of every dish is pleasing. Trestle is very popular so recommend that you make reservations. Safe parking is available at Portsmouth Square Garage for a reasonable price.

When people said they found one of the best breakfast burritos at Bodega I first thought they must not be from San Francisco and they must be somewhere in Eastern United States where they call any corner store a Bodega. Then I was thinking they were referring to Bodega the Vietnamese restaurant in SF. I then thought it couldn't be the Hummus Bodega on Geary boulevard or Coffee Bodega in the Marina. I then thought the most of these best breakfast burritos are in the Mission District. I finally got to find out it's a bar called Bodega North Beach which sells breakfast burritos only on Saturday mornings. On a Fall stroll on a sunny morning I landed at the North Beach a pickle ball throw away from Washington Square Park and lots of restaurants with Angel hair pasta. There was no inside in the morning because it's all to go orders. I decided to try their chorizo and sausage breakfast burritos. The sausage breakfast sausage with avocado ,eggs, and a bit flakey potatoes like some in SF. The chorizo breakfast burrito was savory but a bit tangier and the sauce enhanced the burrito flavor. It's one of the top breakfast burrito in SF but it's a worthy contender and easily a top ten in the city. Wish it was more cheesy like some in SF. San Francisco is a city is small in size but when it comes to restaurants it packs a punch that's "mega "there is always good food from Chestnut street to Van Ness to Irving and "Noriega" which is a block away from a street called " Ortega" but you won't find this salsa in a jar because their salsa is made in house at a bar which sells good breakfast burritos on the avenue of Columbus called "Bodega" Bodega North Beach is located a few blocks where Bruce Lee ( RIP) was born who also played on TV the character "Kato " if you go to North Beach in SF you will find dozens of restaurants that offer Angel hair and fettuccine "Alfredo"the breakfast burrito at Bodega has a bit of egg ,avocado, and "potato" and a hint of "tomato "

Honestly, it was one of the best fruit portions I've ever seen at a breakfast restaurant. The only thing missing was a piece of toast with the combo to make it truly perfect. But the real star of the show was my daughter's waffle. It arrived piled high with fresh fruit, butter, and whipped cream and looked absolutely gorgeous.

Review for AYCE Yakitori event on select Saturdays (summer only?):…read more Host was so professional and kind. Answers phone quickly when I had questions leading up to my reservation. Yes there's validated discounted parking. Yes you can bring babies. They have high chairs. Though May be Smokey and music loud for baby. On the day, Baby was ok thankfully and was having lots of fun Skewers were good! Wish there are more non meat options like more vegetables or salad choices. Because meat is heavy and you want to balance it out some more. Favorites: pork belly, mushrooms, shrimp. Short rib ran out, after first round no more was made. So go early and not a 3:30pm reservation like me. Last call was 4:45 where whatever's made is what's left and no more is made. Closes up at 5pm. Final bill includes a bunch of mandatory fees: total $68 per person (20% gratuity regardless of party size, 2% opentable fee, 6% sf mandate fee). All prepaid at the time of reservation, no refunds. Must be booked on opentable, I asked if I can reserve directly and was directed to opentable. It's the only way. Hard to get out of booth if you're seated right in middle of your group.

Although we didn't get to come try that, I met up with a couple of former colleagues for happy hour on a Friday afternoon. I was early so checked in at the indoor host stand and was handed a happy hour menu and a regular menu to seat myself on the outdoor terrace where HH was being served. The terrace set-up is really nice, with some seats having firepits. I found a cushy couch-like area and waited for my friends. 10 minutes passed and no one checks in on me nor does anyone bring me water. Finally, after about 20 minutes, two people sitting near me got up and flagged a server down and asked how they can place an order. This was a sign to me that the terrace doesn't get checked on often by the servers. I chimed in and told them I'd like to order a drink as well. He finally came by a few minutes later. I placed my drink order and also asked for some water, which was promptly brought over to me. My cocktail arrived around the same time one of my friends did so he placed an order while the server was still there. My other friend arrived a few minutes later and another 15 minutes go by when no one bothered to check on us. She finally got up and went to find a server. The drinks were enjoyable and worth the HH price of $10. We missed HH ending by about 10 minutes, so our second round was at the full price of $20 per cocktail. We didn't order any food since we were headed elsewhere for dinner. The HH food items were not really HH prices either. A chicken thigh skewer is $10 during happy hour. I can get a bomb chicken thigh skewer at a local izakaya during regular dining hours for about half the price. A sad disappointment for high expectations of this place considering Third Floor is part of the Omakase Restaurant Group. Would I come back? Unlikely, but at this rate and if significant changes aren't made quickly, Third Floor may not survive long enough for me to even make a second visit.
