Sadly this was underwhelming. I tried the early bird dinner. The pea soup was fine but there were too many large chunks of feta which overpowered and the soup wasn't very flavorful so I added black pepper. The pistachio creme brûlée was more of a pudding texture under the torched crust that was firm but not like glass so it was avant guard if I'm being open minded. The sole was the best of the three dishes with delicate flavored white sauce that was also rich and decadent with the apples adding lightness and acidity. It was heavy but as it was intended. The service felt utilitarian more than friendly but it was nothing to complain about but didn't feel welcoming so much as "doing a job". Nice wine list.

We came by for restaurant week for an early dinner. I got scallops carpaccio with corn puree and brown butter, 8oz hanger steak in shallot red wine sauce in mashed potato and pearl onions, and dark chocolate cake with amaretto jelly. By the way, restaurant week menu is required for the whole table. The scallops dish had celery which overpower scallops and the corn puree. The steak dish was good. The amaretto jelly was too bitter to pair with a dark chocolate, also bitter flavor. I had high hopes for this place but it was a little disappointing. The service was excellent though!

I came here for an early birthday celebration and it was amazing. We ordered the fried leek with the grand mere sauce, seabream sashimi, Bloody Mary oysters, and the duck breast. The seabream is worth the hype. I honestly think this is one of the best sashimi dishes in the city and the sauce isn't too overpowering. The Bloody Mary oysters were not bad but I still wish it had some citrus to cut the Bloody Mary flavor. The fried leek dish was okay but the mustard sauce was amazing. We ordered the duck breast to share and this was perfect to end our meal! I would definitely come again and the service was amazing and efficient. Also Corkage is $30, but they have a great French wine list.

blueberry tart $11

Good people at Cache. I saw the pastry man outside hand out free pastries to children and old people before he shut down his sidewalk station. We were having a meal next door and wanted dessert. Their blueberry tart $11 was great. The berries were fresh with this white pastry soft center inside and a wonderful crust. This was delicious. Great job pastry chef at Cache.

After a morning admiring Monet in Venice at the de Young, my friend and I were on the hunt for a relaxing lunch spot. We happened upon Cache, a charming French bistro on 9th Avenue, and were immediately captivated by its aesthetic. Upon entering, a cheerful and welcoming hostess promptly seated us by the window, offering a lovely view of their adorable little courtyard. The lunch menu was nicely streamlined and curated. We began with a refreshingly bright salmorejo that perfectly whet our appetites. Next came the star of the show: delicious buckwheat crepes packed with caramelized onions and Emmental cheese, topped with savory sautéed porcini mushrooms, and paired with a peppery arugula salad and perfectly sautéed Yukon potatoes. We capped off the experience by enjoying dessert alongside an expertly crafted cappuccino and latte. It was bustling for a weekday lunch, and the space filled up fast, yet the service stayed incredibly prompt and attentive. The ambiance is cozy, quaint, and sweet. I'm already looking forward to returning for dinner!

Espresso tonic and N/A Spicy Margarita

Made reservations for a brunch date with the hubs. Bright, inviting environment. Staff were quick to greet us and to answer any questions about the menu. Appreciated the mocktails they had available. Hubs ordered the NA Spicy Margarita which he enjoyed. I ordered the Espresso Tonic which was quite refreshing. We then shared with the Duck Confit crepe. It was a light crepe - loved the mushrooms and great to share as a starter. Hubs then had the smoked salmon benedict and I went with the Smashed Croissant. Both dishes were seasoned well. Enjoyed the arugula salad. The croissant had a good amount of crab and avocado. Very enjoyable dining experience. We'll return to try their dinner menu next time.

Miss Gemma a restaurant is located in a bustling neighborhood on ninth Avenue. This new addition to the Food scene is exceptional. I settled on the leak with a mustard sauce which was delicate balanced in the leak was cooked to perfection. Next me and my friend ordered the pork tenderloin which came in a beautiful Spanish chorizo sauce, which was extremely savory. Next, we had the mushrooms with a puff pastry in chestnuts, which was incredible the way all the flavors blended together. Nothing was left on our plate. We loved all of it. The wine that served was exceptional and they even have a zero proof menu to pick from and I chose a watermelon cooler to have at my meal well done and welcome to food scene .

Pistachio Creme Brûlée
Franchesca L.

We made a reservation the day before and the staff at Caché were able to sit us immediately when we got there. It wasn't too packed in a Monday night. We chose to get the early bird dinner set menu for just $50! We each ordered the salmon appetizer, pork tenderloin as main, and the creme brûlée as dessert! The orange creme with the salmon was SO good and the pork was also very tender! We would love to come back and try other dishes next time!

Had a very pleasant dinner here! We came early before 5:30 to try the early bird dinner. The service was quick and they tended to the table very well. Plates and silverware were replaced after each course. The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful. I would say one con of the place is if you're there while the sun is low, the sun is VERY aggressive. We had to move around the table a bit because of the lack of AC and the sun blaring on your face. It would be nice to have something to block it since it really overheats you when it's directly on your face and body. The courses were great. Since we had 3 people, we were able to try one of each item. Appetizers - the sea bream was a showstopper, absolutely beautiful and the fish was fresh and the sauce was so complimentary. The Bloody Mary oysters were delicious, the oysters weren't briny and very sweet and creamy. I'm a fan of bloody Mary's so this was a hit. Their salmon appetizer was lackluster, it didn't have much flavor honestly and it was a bit boring. The quality of the fish was good though. The fried leek was my favorite appetizer. There's a heavy mustardy base that was so complimentary to the fried leek. I would say it was a bit sloppy to only be able to cut it with a dull knife but the flavors were 10/10. The entrees - the pork tenderloin was cooked to perfection and the sauce was delicious. The hazelnuts offered a great contrast in texture. The mushroom Vol Au Vent was delicious and unctuous but I would say if that was your only entree it would be far too heavy. The sauce was to die for. However there were some hard bits in there that did not go well that may have been the chestnuts. They tasted a bit stale. The sole was cooked perfectly and they really nailed the sauce. A very delicious take on the sole. Dessert - the pistachio creme brûlée had an incredible flavor, wasn't too sweet. But it's not a traditional creme brûlée if you're expecting a very light and creamy one. It was thick and a bit grainy some parts but the flavors were delicious. The chocolate cake was decadent for sure but honestly a bit too much for us. If you're a big fan of thick chocolate fudge you'd like this. Drinks - we ordered their espresso martini which is made with soju and that was delightful. Not too sweet and great foam. We had a citrusy one I forgot the name. It had a beautiful presentation and just tasted like a delicious juice. Great for those who don't like the taste of alcohol. Overall had a great meal here. Their regular menu is a bit on the pricier side (like $30 mussels). I'll probably be back for their early bird dinner because it's a really good deal for what you get. Thanks for a splendid dinner!

Cheese plate

Got to try caché during their restaurant week. We had a reservation right at opening at 5pm, and we had a table in their small outside area. Service was attentive the entire night albeit our server didn't seem too enthused. Overall, we wish we ordered à la carte since the restaurant week menu price ($70) ended up being almost the same price, and we would've picked other dishes. Appetizers were a bit of a miss, main courses were great, dessert was good (although I wouldn't get the cheese plate again since it's just not what I enjoy). Additionally, we did order their seabream sashimi ($58) which was SO good and probably the best dish of the night. It's a beautiful dish that they make only 10 of in a night, so you have to order it quick if you have an early reservation! Appetizers - - Bread and butter: solid, bread was nice and warm and the butter was delicious. It ended up going well being dipped in the other dishes. - Cold green asparagus soup: not a fan, wasn't enjoyable cold - Salmon gravlax: good, nothing outstanding Main courses - - Duroc pork tenderloin eggplant puree: tender pork and smokey eggplant. Cream sauce was nice. - Petrale sole & parsnip: this was so good. Probably the second best dish of the night - the fish was perfectly cooked and the parsnip was incredibly buttery and addictingly good. The apple was a nice touch. Highly recommend! Dessert: - Cheese plate: a bit funky but if you like that, I think you would enjoy it. - French financier cake & yogurt ice cream: solid! Financier cake was soft and piping hot. The date was a nice sweetener and the dish wasn't too heavy. Overall, I would come back!

Chocolate chip Brioche ($6)
Kaitlyn C.

I came by their little stand outside the store and decided to try a couple items since I was waiting for a friend. The beignets came with a which is nice but my favorite was the brioche. It had a filling inside that was delicious and not too much bread all around. I preferred that over the beignets since I didn't want too much breading. I highly recommend the brioche

Yoona K.

Pleasantly surprised at how good dinner was! I've been meaning to come when this place first opened but never made it out until last night. They have a semi-new "early bird menu" until 5:30pm daily and it was a really good value vs ordering a la carte. Everything I wanted to try was on this menu, so it was a no brainer to choose this. I ordered the fried leek (5/5), mushroom vol au vent (3/5) and the pistachio creme brulee (4/5). My partner chose the roasted bone marrow (2/5), pork tenderloin (4/5) and the dark chocolate cake (5/5). We also ordered a couple of cocktails, glasses of wine and the scallop carpaccio (5/5). For the lower rated items: mushroom vol au vent was too heavy after a couple of bites and the puff pastry was overbaked making it tough. The roasted bone marrow had good flavor but had the tiniest amount of actual bone marrow. They gave you a lot of crostinis but in reality there was enough bone marrow for maybe 2 tiny crostini pieces. Everything else (including cocktails and wine) were really good and I plan on coming back when the sea bream sashimi is back on the menu (late march/early april according to our server).

Anyway, this Michelin rated restaurant has a menu that changes and a 4 course prix-fix meal with an optional wine pairing and it was goooooood!! The interior design, decor and setup actually reminded me of a Michelin rated restaurant in Bordeaux, France. Then it hit me- this is a French inspired restaurant. Confirmed when I saw all the French artwork in the hallway and bathroom. And later they told me Mijote means to simmer, en francais. We were able to sit at the counter to have an experience and watch the action and plating. We were welcomed with a cold carrot soup that likely acted as a palette cleanser. Then we had a number of seafood dishes and then the pork. I wish I added the beef cheek but it's okay, I was so stuffed with the wine pairing I could barely finish all the drinks. The menu for this day had a lot of seafood but I didn't mind that at all. And I really liked the bread they served with the steelhead. On top of the delicious food. they were attentive and friendly.

This place is so cute and tucked away in a residential neighborhood. I've been here a handful of…read moretimes and it never disappoints. I decided to bring some family that were in town this past weekend and they really enjoyed it. I think all their entrees are decently priced, especially with the high prices everywhere and in SF!! For all the dishes listed, plus a soda and 2 Pomegranate Martinis, the bill came out to $250. We ordered a ton of food and everything was brought out at a good pace. For starters we decided to try the Escargot and some Crab Cakes and both were really tasty. We also got the White Wine Mussels and that was very flavorful as well. My son always orders the 3 course Steak & Frites and is always satisfied. It's a 12oz Ribeye and comes with your choice of salad plus gelato for dessert. I ordered the Bouillabaisse and that was honestly a bit of a disappointment. It was good, but it hardly had any seafood in it... Besides 4 mussels and a shrimp or 2, that was pretty much it. The menu says it comes with salmon and crab, but I didn't get any of that. Maybe it was the small amount of minced seafood under the shrimp, but regardless it was almost nonexistent. The other guests ordered the Chicken Marsala and Braised Short Ribs and those were very good. The Patata Bravas which is basically fried potatoes dressed with some sort of aioli were also really delicious. Parking really sucks, but there is a garage close by so that's where I usually pull up at. It's only like a block and a half away so it's fairly close to the restaurant. Of all the dishes that I've tried recently and in the past, the Truffle Ravioli is my favorite and the one dish that stands out from all the others!

Could have been our choices or this particular night. Was in the area and we decided to have a casual date night over at this cozy little spot. The ambiance inside is pretty rustic and charming, our servers were also very welcoming. We both ordered the three course special, and some drinks. I got the sangria and she ordered a tropical cocktail. Drink wise, she told me it tastes mostly like pineapple juice, but I thought the sangria was decent. Food wise I got beef short rib, she got chicken with penne. The salads were ok, but the entrees were heavy. Lots of cream/butter I think but my wife couldn't finish hers, so we took it home. It's wasn't bad by any means but just not restaurant-level. The early bird dinner is definitely a very good deal, if I lived in the area I would probably give it another go and try something different, perhaps the other pastas. I'm thinking they probably do a great brunch, so perhaps we'll come back for that. Based on the dishes at dinner time though I wouldn't travel out for it. Regardless, was a nice relaxed dinner and we appreciated their hospitality.

Have been here twice now and have left extremely satisfied. Over the past visits I've tried: Goat Cheese Salad: 4/5 very fresh and tasty, the walnut vinaigrette pairs so well with the balsamic. On the bitter side but I liked it Tiger Prawn Ravioli - 5/5, super unique and melt in your mouth. The sauce has an umami flavor and the dish is one of the best bites I've tried Steak (Filet) - 5/5, one of the best steaks I've tried. The seasoning is spot on and is very rich and flavorful Crispy Chick Breast - 10/5, my personal favorite dish. The chicken is seasoned to perfection, and the sauce lives up to the French rule that a perfect sauce is just as, if not more, important to the success of the dish. Love the mashed potatoes as well, my plate was wiped clean Desserts: 5/5 Apple Tart and chocolate cake - très bien The restaurant is tiny but it's part of the ambiance and reminiscent of a classic French bistro. Service is great, very friendly and attentive. Parking can be challenging as it's in a neighborhood and spots are usually limited, so plan in advance. Highly recommended.

All other engagement (no conversation) was done by others delivering plates, removing plates and right down to taking our dessert order. We were never approached about our meal as in "how are you doing". Which is so rare for this place. Had anyone asked I would have immediately requested a new salad. I couldn't even get the attention of anyone as they seemed to all be huddled in the kitchen. I had the Caesar - $14, which presented well but was really awful. It was soaking wet with a dressing that had absolutely NO CAESAR flavor. The cheese on top, also flavorless and the 2 croutons were rock hard. I have never had such a bad Caesar. The Artichoke soup was o.k. My friend did really enjoy his Moules Thai which had the best sauce I have ever tasted and the killer fries of course. We each had a Crepe for dessert which is always super delicious. The whole meal was not worth $102 for lunch. My friend tipped over generously, which I would not have done for service that was non existent. I will return, as much of there food is outstanding, I will just steer clear of a few of these fails.

The Fleet Week Weekend San Francisco Edition:…read more It seems San Francisco has a reputation of having lots of good dining institutions which makes the city a star in cuisine. There are also those who built the reputation of San Francisco's dining scene which rose as a star and then become a fallen star years later. It happens to our favorite sports athlete and entertainers who had over a decade of stardom and to fall from its former glory like a fallen Angel. There is one place which had a 17 year consecutive run as a Michelin Star restaurant in San Francisco and finally lost its star in 2024 . It is located in the cusp of the San Francisco tourist trap of Fisherman's Wharf and it's the one and only Gary Danko. On a Fleet week weekend in SF I was feeling patriotic and I decided to try Gary Danko which serves Contemporary American cuisine. After watching the Blue Angels show across the sky while the sun was out I built up an appetite. I got the 5 course meal for dinner which started with a Lobster Risotto with rock shrimp which was tasty and not too salty like some in SF. I then I got the Roast Maine Lobster with Chanterelle Mushrooms which had a claw which was savory and similar to what I saw on my social media feed. Then I got the duck and it was tender and delicious . I then had an artisanal cheese tasting with featured cheeses from all over America. I finally had the Baked Chocolate Soufflé with Two Sauces which was rich and not too sweet and a good treat. I washed it down with a drink called the breakfast of champions and an after dinner Sherry. Gary Dankos is still a star in my book and a great American restaurant in SF ready for a comeback and rise to a Michelin star again. The reviews I do aren't "outsource" or sponsored or financially "endorse "and the food ingredients at Gary Dankos are locally "source" and my restaurant experience was great at Gary Dankos which I rate 5 stars after trying my meal which was " 5 course" Some restaurants in San Francisco are "Michelin "and some have stars with cuisine which are Chinese , Filipino, French , Italian, and" Mexican"and Gary Danko has food which is "Contemporary American" but there are no stars and guides in places in the USA like Seattle and "Michigan"

This is my fourth time visiting Gary Danko with friends for a small wedding dinner. Everything was…read morefine until I flagged a female server with short blonde hair. I had seen on the online menu that it included an eggs Benedict appetizer and asked her if it would ever be available again. Her response was harsh and condescending. "We don't serve brunch here. You must have us mistaken for another restaurant." I had printed the menu directly from the Gary Danko website that very morning. Only after my father spoke up and said that he had seen it too did she stop and say she would go check. It was only after we returned home that I realized I had clicked on a 2024 menu. Still, her response to a simple question was extremely off-putting, especially given that her tone became noticeably more respectful when speaking to my father. I understand that I was looking at an outdated menu, but there was no reason to respond so dismissively to a genuine question, particularly at a restaurant of this caliber. It was the first link that popped up when searching "gary danko menu". The second issue occurred during our second course, when the staff forgot my father's corn soup. He realized it had been missed because they had brought him a knife and fork but not a spoon. When he flagged down the same server, she and the original server, who had briefly peeked around the corner before walking away, eventually came over to check on it. Her response was, "It's on its way now. It's just not done yet." At the very least, I would have expected an apology for forgetting the soup. Other minor issues added to the overall disappointment. When calling weeks prior, no one picked up the phone. It leads to an automated voice system that couldn't answer my questions. I left my phone number in voicemail and never heard back. During the meal, I never learned any of the servers' names. When I previously dined here with a group of seven people in a private room, the service was the best we had ever experienced. Our server introduced himself and was genuinely kind and attentive. Yesterday's experience, by comparison, felt impersonal, with different staff members bustling around without much personal attention. No one offered to walk us through the tasting menu or explain the dishes. On top of all of this, I'm pretty sure I ordered a soufflé for a friend and they brought out crème brûlée. Since my friend didn't want to bother them and I was already unsettled from asking a basic question, I didn't bring it up to the servers. The food this year was also just okay. The beef tartare contained beets, and the avocado mousse had so much lime that, when paired with the beef, it tasted more like guacamole than a dish with distinct beef flavor. The duck breast and hash was my favorite entrée, although I learned that I do not enjoy endives. The quail was cooked well but was not seasoned to my taste. The tagliatelle was so buttery that I could not finish it. The Louisiana butter cake was excellent, and my friends enjoyed the soufflé and crab salad. Overall, we paid $800 for dinner last night, but the interaction over a simple question about eggs Benedict was disappointing. The server was dismissive toward me, yet her tone noticeably changed when speaking to my father. Combined with the lack of attentive service and the merely average food, the experience fell far short of what I expected from Gary Danko. Unfortunately, I would not return after this experience. It sucks because service used to be a highlight of the experience. **I attached proof of seeing eggs Benedict on the menu because the server was so insistent it never existed.

The host and server were very pleasant and helpful explaining ingredients and making sure to capture food allergies. We had the grilled chicken sandwich, the sauce was to die for and tied the perfectly prepared chicken together with everything. We also had the quiche Lorraine - simply amazing! The flavors were delicious and the crust was amazingly crisp and light. If you visit their website, you will see the numerous awards and mentions in publications like Forbes - they most definitely deserve each one!

A FRENCH BISTRO GEM…read more I had always wanted to try Cote Ouest Bistro, and it did not disappoint. FROM BAKER STREET TO COTE OUEST The restaurant was formerly Baker Street Bistro and is now owned by former BSB employees. They've successfully carved out their own identity while preserving the artistry and craftsmanship of classic French cuisine. HIGH QUALITY, FAIR PRICES The food is excellent, and the prices are reasonable compared with many other restaurants in San Francisco. That combination helps Cote Ouest stand out from the crowd. A TOUCH OF PARIS The French staff and charming interior create an atmosphere that feels like a neighborhood bistro in Paris. The restaurant's familiar design has remained largely unchanged, which adds to its warmth and character. INDOOR AND OUTDOOR DINING The dining room can get loud when it's bustling, but there is plenty of outdoor seating, including a parklet added during the pandemic. Sitting outside can be a little more comfortable if you want to have an easy conversation. WHAT WE ORDERED We ordered the crab cake roll, which was the special of the day, along with the mussels--always a great choice. Everything was delicious. GOOD TO KNOW Walk-ins are welcome, but reservations through OpenTable are recommended, especially during busy dining hours. Cote Ouest Bistro is definitely a neighborhood favorite--and now one of mine.

Divis Taqueria opened in mid July, and I went today for lunch. They are in the Crêperie La…read moreSarrasine space at 607 Divis. The French cuisine is still featured, but there is a new sign and awning for TD. As well as the delicious new food! I have lived on the 500 block for 16 years and this is an amazing add to the neighborhood. We've never had our own authentic taqueria this close. And I can tell you that the tortillas here are LEGIT. On to the experience. The staff is awesome, you will be well attended here. You can order at the register, but there is full wait service. The interior retains the French look, and has added some Mexican touches. There is a parklet outside. In the dining room, there are large open windows with bar seating. A true indoor / outdoor spot. On to the food. I got the Al Pastor tacos, which are traditional street style, though they were nice enough to add cheese to the tortillas. Red and green salsa on the side, and I'm told they're looking into a spicy sauce as well. Open on Friday and Saturday until Midnight. Check www.divistaqueria.com for their weekly hours and menu. Directly across the street from both Emporium and Independent on Divis. And a delicious lunch if you're in NOPA. Place will blow up and couldn't happen to better people. Get ready for this business!!

Amazing french food here!! *chefs kiss*…read more Found this gem when we were heading to the Independent for a concert but was early and decided to grab a bite as my boyfriend suggested this spot after seeing it on Yelp close by. The server sat us down and gave us menus right away with ice waters. The interior was nice and cozy with French music and decor. We shared both the Boeuf Bourguignon and the Champagnarde Galette and both were wonderful. The presentation on both were elegant and appetizing. The flavors and textured worked well in both dishes and the portions were satisfying. My boyfriend also ordered a glass of wine he enjoyed. I would love to come back and try their different dishes as I had a hard time decided since everything sounded so delicious! Great dinner spot, felt like a mini getaway.
