I've been here twice now and this place has officially become one of my favorites. From the moment you walk in, you can tell the chefs truly know what they're doing. Every dish is intentional, well executed and full of flavor. I ordered the steak with roasted potatoes, grilled asparagus, mussels and everything was done to perfection. The steak had an incredible char on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside. The potatoes were crispy, flavorful and the asparagus was beautifully grilled with layers of flavor that really stood out. The mussels were fresh and came in a broth that was rich, balanced and honestly something you don't want to leave behind. You can actually sit at the counter and watch the kitchen work, which makes the experience even better. There's a level of precision and care in how everything is prepared that you don't see everywhere. What really made this visit special was meeting the owner. He was genuinely kind, welcoming and passionate about what he does and it shows in every part of the restaurant. This is quality food, quality service and an overall experience that feels intentional from start to finish. If you're looking for a place where the chefs truly understand their craft, this is it. Highly recommend. read more

I really enjoyed this place. Decided to try it before seeing Stewart Copeland at the Jazz Center. It was a rainy evening and we were the first to arrive in the restaurant. Had the place to ourselves for nearly an hour so if you want quiet time go early. I had nearly everything on the menu because they aren't huge plates. This is total California cuisine - lots of fish and fresh vegetables. Think farm to table. It's all excellent. The only miss was the chocolate chip cookies at the end. I was a little shocked to see them at $9 a piece but decided to splurge on 2 anyway thinking they'd be amazing. They were good but nothing extraordinary and certainly not worth $9 a pop. Still, everything else we had was prepared perfectly. Service is friendly and attentive and the place is a gem nestled just above the crowded inner Hayes Valley strip. A great experience and I'd return. read more

Stopped in for wine and really liked the vibe! The space feels warm and classy without being stuffy. It's not too dark and not too loud so you can actually have a conversation. I didn't try the food, but the wine was solid and well chosen. Just be ready for SF fees. They bump the price about 25 percent, so with tip you're looking at $25 to $30 a glass. It's on the outskirts of Hayes right next to Salt & Straw. There are two chairs outside if you can grab them. A nice spot for a date night or catch up with old friends. read more

I cannot rave about this place and the food, service and workers enough! I hosted a private event here on a Saturday night with 35 guests and everything was perfect. I don't have many photos of the place and the food we had throughout the night, but everything exceeded our expectations. The food: I pretty much ordered the entire menu and every dish was a hit. I had a couple of vegetarians and people with allergies in my party and the staff was extremely thoughtful and attentive to our needs. Myself and my guests' favorite dishes included the mushrooms, scallops (pictured), cod and the steak. Given my event, I had pre-ordered from the menu, but many of my guests kept asking for additional items as they were too delicious to not get a second serving. The space: Bosque has the perfect cozy seating, lighting, music and atmostphere for an intimate and personal event. The space feels warm and inviting, also perfect for a date night or a night out with close friends. I had a couple people fly in from out of town for my party and they were so impressed by the space. The lighting and aesthetics were perfect for the many photos we took throughout the night! The service/staff: The wait staff, kitchen and managers of Bosque were all so friendly and accommodating for my event. They really emphasized making sure everything was to my own liking and really went the extra mile with the music and AV set up. Throughout the night, the wait staff was attentive to our party, making sure our glasses were filled and that dishes came out at the right pace. I had been planning this event with the manager for about a month and all of our interactions were warm and professional. He's also super knowledgeable and patient about wine selection which I greatly appreciated, and all of his suggestions worked out. Again, cannot recommend Bosque enough to anyone that would like to host a private event or even just come in for a delicious dinner in an inviting space! Shoutout to the Bosque team for helping make my event happen, it was truly a night I won't be forgetting! Can't wait to go back and indulge on more wine and yummy dishes on another night. read more

Great neighborhood wine bar addition to Hayes Valley. The space is really cute, and it's the perfect to just drop in and grab a drink with your friends. warm acme bread w/ goat cheese w/ fig & honey - you can never go wrong with goat cheese, fig, and honey steak carpaccio - the carpaccio was a bit thicker than the slices I'm used, not bad but wasn't my favorite not fried calamari - didn't love this, I think a bit too fishy for me local black cod - the cod is quite tender and the potatoes are actually a highlight as well (very soft but without falling apart). aged hangar steak - my partner really liked this The style of food in general is clearly French inspired - think crusty breads, butter forward, and French techniques / flavors. read more

This place is such a cute spot! Came here for a wine night with friends, and the inside of the restaurant was so open and beautifully decorated! Loved all the festive garland for the holidays. We split a bottle of wine between us 3, and the waiter was very kind in giving us a recommendation for an orange wine. Would absolutely come here again for a drink and to try the food! read more

What a quaint little neighborhood gem! As a regular of the neighboring German pub-like restaurant, I was skeptical to venture out of my comfort zone into the unforeseen. To my suprise, the staff were hardly bereft of enthusiasm despite my close-to-closing entrance. They offered me a delicious glass of wine and didn't hesitate to offer a second regardless of an emptying dinning room. I ended up babbling with not just the server, but the chefs and owner as well, solidifying Bosque as a destination for return. read more

Great value. Great food. Exceptional beverage program. Sexy intimate room perfect for a midweek date night. We tried it all. Scallops nailed. Chicken Leg was crispy, juicy, great flavors. Chicken Liver Mousse soigne. Warm bread and butter. Black Cod exceptional as were the mussels. Simplicity nailed. Best return on our investment in a long time. They need a cheese plate. That's my only critique read more

Food, wine and service were fantastic! I can't remember our servers name but I came in Tuesday evening and was welcomed immediately and was given great explanations of the menu. She was so sweet! My friend and I had the bread & butter, crudo in herb oil, eggplant dish and black cod! Everything was delicious. Can't wait to go back! read more

Had a great little meal and date here last night w my wife. Well portioned small plates and a little European tapas vibe that you would find in a medium sized euro city. Good read more

The food is awfully pretentious and lacking. The ambiance would make you expect something quaint and cozy, yet what arrived felt more like an exercise in culinary ego than an actual meal. Yes, the food looks nice, but where's the taste? If I wanted something cute for social media, I would've stayed home and asked ChatGPT for help. As for the service... Well, let's just say they skimp on a lot of things, but snark is not one of them. read more

Food was pretty underwhelming. Overpriced for what you get. Some of the Christmas decor was cute, service was fine. There are better restaurants in the area. read more

Such a wonderful restaurant! Tasty food, cozy and cool ambiance, good prices, and great service. I sat at the bar and had a great time. Will be my new neighborhood spot!! read more

This friendly and bright restaurant has an excellent wine by the glass list and great California style small plates. The food is fresh and interesting and pairs well with the wines. The bottle list is focused on reasonably priced options ($45--$75). The service is friendly and the ambience casual but refined. A great place for wine and a snack or for a full meal. read more

Lovely new neighborhood addition with great ambiance! Every time I've been there, the food had been consistently delicious!

The food is delicious and the service is attentive and friendly. We sampled most of the menu and every dish was well presented and tasty. We also enjoyed some excellent wine---great options by the glass or bottle. All that combined with a low-key and lovely ambience makes for a delightful evening and we will be back! read more
