    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.

    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!

    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 .

    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!

    Chocolate chip Brioche ($6)

    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

    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!

    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).

    REVIEW FOR BRUNCH Very busy on a Sunday had to make reservations to sit outside in the cute patio. Service was slow. Server forgot the cocktail. I ordered took a very long time to put in our orders. Duck confit buckwheat crepe: 5/5 tell me it's French cooking without telling me. Confit sooo tender. Star of the show. Tender duck paired with the perfect cheese. Strong mushroom flavor. Loved! Smoked salmon Benedict: 4/5 the Benedict itself was average. There's nothing wrong with it, but tasted like any other Benedict I've had. The best part was definitely the potatoes. Perfectly salted and the outside had a nice crunch. Steak: 3.75/5 meat was tough but flavor was good. For sure, a stunner in terms of ambience for a Sunday brunch. Take the patio if you can. The inside would be really cute for date night. Restaurant could improve in their service and flavors for brunch Benedict's. Friends told me that dinner here is better.

    Caché has an early bird special for dinner. $50 for 3 courses from 5-5:30pm. Such a good deal! We started with the fried leek and bone marrow. For the mains, we ordered the petrale sole and seasonal mushroom vol au vent. And for the dessert, we both got the pistachio crème brûlée since it was so delicious the last time we had it. Everything was amazing! We enjoyed every dish, they were all seasoned well and cooked to perfection. The service was great as usual! I know I'm in for a great meal anytime I'm here.

Before the meal started, we were served a small cup of corn soup. It was so intensely corny in the best way possible. It's sweet, creamy, and comforting. Loved it. The bluefin tuna was incredibly fresh, and the portion was generous. I also really enjoyed the zucchini, which added different textures to this dish and made it more interesting. The mackerel was delicious. The skin had this rich, gelatinous texture that I personally loved, and the flavors were super satisfying. The only dish that was a little disappointing was the pork ballotine. It looked incredibly tender and juicy, but it ended up being a bit drier than I expected. Dessert was definitely the highlight of the meal. I had never tried chamomile ice cream before, and it was such a pleasant surprise. It paired beautifully with the caramelized white chocolate, which added a rich, milky sweetness, and I loved the crunchy texture throughout the dish. The warm pistachio paste brought everything together perfectly. So, so good!

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!

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.

That was a little disappointing, but everything we ordered ended up being good. We had the lamb chops, hanger steak with fries, pork tenderloin special, and prawn ravioli. The fries were super crispy, which I loved. The pork tenderloin was the special that night and ended up being my favorite dish. The prawn ravioli was also really good and surprisingly generous in size. It could easily work as an entrée rather than just an appetizer. The only thing I'd skip is the bread and butter. They charge for it, and it was very mid and definitely not worth paying extra for. Service was fine. The interior is cozy and charming, with tables packed pretty close together, which actually gives it that real Parisian café feel. Overall, a really enjoyable dinner. I'd come back, especially if the duck confit makes its return!

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.

Wanted a cappuccino but their espresso machine wasn't working during our visit, so we just had regular coffees. Kiddo ordered the pasta with smoked duck. Kiddo has a nut allergy so she was happy to hear that they do not use nuts in their pesto. I ordered the Lyonnaise Frisee as this is probably one of my most fave salads and decided to also add the smoked duck for more protein. Both dishes arrived at the same time, and they were decent portions. The smoked duck was tender. I enjoyed the salad. Kiddo enjoyed her pasta. Also ordered a croissant as had to give one a try. It was a flaky and buttery croissant - good. At no time did we feel rushed. Had to flag them down for more coffee, otherwise service was friendly. Would return to try other dishes.

    I've been searching for a good spot for steak frites in the bay and heard good things about chez…read moremaman so i thought to give it a try. The peppercorn sauce was delicious and had a mushroomy taste. The steak and sauce complimented each other so well. I love a side of fries but they were maybe a tad too salty. Safe to say I will be back for this dish again. First time trying french onion soup and was delighted about the gooey cheese and the soaked bread bits at the bottom. You definitely can get a good cheese pull with this. The onion wasn't as overpowering as I initially thought this soup would be. Fettuccini with mushrooms was buttery goodness on a plate. Pretty standard dish and filling. There's lots of street parking around the restaurant and a nice bookstore to walk in afterwards. The staff were so welcoming and i loved the diner ambiance. They even have plenty of outdoor seating if you'd prefer that too.

    We came here specifically because of the reviews and drove across the city to try it…read more Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. We arrived around 2 PM on Sunday, August 23, and waited approximately 30 to 45 minutes before anyone took our order. We were seated on the patio, and during that time I watched two other parties get up and leave after waiting just as long without being helped. The table next to us was also having service issues and ended up receiving the wrong order. The food itself was bland and not something I would come back for. The one positive part of the experience was the gentleman bussing the tables, who had dark hair and a beard. He was extremely polite, attentive, and kind. Unfortunately, our waitress, who had red hair, seemed completely disengaged. She never checked on us after taking our order, did not bring us our check, and even her demeanor while taking the order felt dismissive. When we ordered, her response was basically "okayyyyy," which was uncomfortable and unprofessional. Overall, this was not at all what I expected based on the reviews. Between the extremely slow service, multiple tables being neglected, incorrect orders around us, and underwhelming food, I would not return.

The bartenders are very friendly and there's more of an interaction atmosphere. Also, I didn't realize we could share a five course meal, which is amazing and very delicious. It's actually still too much food for the two of us and I did say Share and I'm so happy they allow for it because I don't like over eating dinner anymore. We had the Lobster risotto five stars so delicious Crab salad four stars very filling Sear scallops with mussels four stars Branzini. Five stars. Love the crispy skin with the moist fish. Pork tenderloin already cut. They actually were a little bit delayed on this maybe because they forgot, but they made up for it by pouring us some red wine while we waited the wine was delicious. And also don't forget free dessert, assortment of little bites of heaven. Service was six stars. The hostess actually showed me to the bathroom but also checked if it was occupied and then went upstairs to check if that one was occupied and told me I can go to that one. It was like royalty service. I'd loved it. I think we're gonna start dining at the bar again as there's so much flexibility with the menu this is one of our favorite restaurants in the city consistent food and service highly recommend

The food was exquisite, and the wine and champagne pairings were excellent. The service was truly exceptional throughout the entire evening, and Chef Brandon was an absolute standout. One of the most memorable moments happened completely unexpectedly. While my husband and I were talking, the bartender overheard us mentioning that we were finally able to celebrate our anniversary. To our surprise, we were soon presented with an array of beautiful desserts and special anniversary surprises from the chef. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made an already wonderful evening feel incredibly personal and special. It's a small detail that I know I'll never forget. What a beautiful experience from beginning to end.

    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.

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.
