    I visited Casa Sofia for the first time with some friends on a weekday evening after walking by it a few times to and from nearby Oracle Park. We were able to snag a same-day reservation and felt fortunate to be seated in a spacious booth facing the bar. It gave us a comfortable spot to hang out in while taking in the colourful ambiance and decor. The restaurant was busy enough for a Tuesday evening, but not so busy that it felt overwhelming. I can imagine it gets much busier (and perhaps a bit more chaotic) on game/event days. The cocktails were delicious - well-balanced, just the right amount of strong, and not too sweet. My favourite was the pisco sour. The only downside is that they don't appear to offer happy hour or any other food or drink specials or have plans to. The food was spectacular! We shared everything family-style: - Stone fruit salad and ceviche (both vibrant and refreshing) - Grilled octopus (I almost missed this on the menu, but thankfully my friend spotted it. It ended up being one of my fave dishes and was cooked perfectly.) - Pork chop (I'd heard great things about this before visiting, so it was a must-order for us. It lived up to the hype - well-cooked and delicious.) - Arroz con mariscos (think paella, but with its own distinct flavors) - Crullers (freshly made and lighter than expected) Beyond the excellent food and drinks, the staff really elevated the experience. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and conversational. The only thing I didn't get to try this time was the platano frito, which is usually one of my fave add-ons. I guess that just means we'll have to come back again soon ;)

    Good spot for nice dinner near oracle park. The plates are mostly shareable / small bites so you need to order a lot! Love the Latin American flavors and menu. Favorite bites were the octopus and the tuna tartare (presentation of the tuna was so cool). The potato puree that came with the octopus was so good!! The other dishes didn't stand out as much but everything was decent. Enjoyed the small plates more than the mains. Service was friendly and food came out pretty fast. Ambiance inside is classy and elegant.

    We came here on Friday night and it was so good! They had so many Pisco drinks and I had a guava one and it was really good. The restaurant was also really nice decorated and it made it seem very high-end. The service was fast as well and got some house chips from the chef.

    Came to Casa Sofia for a birthday celebration for 3 after another restaurant unexpectedly told us they were closed at the last minute. We walked in around 5:30 PM without a res, and they were able to accommodate us right away! First, the space is gorgeous with the warm colors, decor, and lighting, making it feel upscale while still being cozy and comfortable. The host and our server were also incredibly kind and knowledgeable throughout the meal. The meal started with complimentary chips with aioli, and they were dangerously addictive. For appetizers, we ordered the mini empanadas and chicken almondegas, and both were AMAZING. The sauces that paired were so good we kept it for the main dishes even though we may not have needed it. For mains, we shared the crab ravioli special (delicious, just wish there was a little more), the arroz con mariscos (perfect if you love seafood), and the skirt steak al mojo de ajo, which was cooked perfectly. Ended with a very tiny chocolate dessert for the birthday, super cute. Such a great experience from the food to the service. We'll definitely be back to try the tasting menu next time!

    Absolutely wonderful! I truly ascended at dinner tonight. Every single dish was immaculate and not to mention gorgeous. One of the best dinners I've had in a while! The restaurant itself is so beautiful as well, especially the bar and the artwork above it, just stunning. Our service was great and we all agreed that we did not have a single bad dish. Our favorites were the smoked tuna, oysters, grilled octopus, empanadas, crullers and guava cheesecake but really just try as many things as you can! This is really good food that just makes you want to dance

    It's rare to find a place in San Francisco that checks every box. Food, atmosphere, service, and location--this place delivers on all of them. I kept looking for something to critique and simply couldn't find a flaw. Everything was executed at a high level from start to finish. This is exactly the kind of restaurant you recommend to out-of-town visitors with complete confidence, knowing they'll be well taken care of and leave impressed. Perfection all around. Special shout out to our server, Julius! BB

    First time coming. We caught uber because parking is horrible around this area. We came 45 minutes before they closed as well. Restaurant was beautiful decorated. Host was very nice. All the food was delicious just wish portions were bigger. I wouldn't recommend the tres mangos because it was all ice. The crullers were ok. Try it if in the neighborhood. Def will be back to try a plate because we just had tapas.

    After attending one of his other Restaurants (Altamiranos) on Fulton in the spring I was informed that Casa Sofia was in the works and would be opening in the next 6 months; so I had this place on my radar. The restaurant did not disappoint. The decor inside the restaurant is homie and inviting, clean lines and that open space gives it that feeling. Our server was nice and attentive but I noted a few issues that cost them a star, when first asked about drinks I asked for a bottle of Cava to start there is only one on the menu ( I looked it up before going to the restaurant) he was unfamiliar and said wines change all the time and didn't know what I was referring about. We were put in a booth and I am tall, left handed, and had to sit with my back to the server so the seating arrangements for me was probably the worst table in the restaurant. The foods was absolutely delicious and didn't disappoint except the plantains that were cut into thick pieces and had more of a home fries type texture (fried but not crispy). The other thing that cost them a star was "marking the table" the dishes came, and we had some plate and silverware changes between items but they often happened after the next dishes were delivered. Items like the crab toast is a single slider so if you are sharing dishes I wouldn't recommend this one to share, or they need to change it to bite size buns or actually change it to a crostini with crab instead .

    Saw they have added lunch hours. What a delicious surprise! Omelette rivals Balthazar (IYKYK). Potato chip app is crazy good.

    We had dinner at Casa Sofia tonight with four people, and overall it was a really enjoyable meal. We started with the Tres Mangos cocktail (reposado tequila, mezcal, mango, chamoy, and lime). It was refreshing and well balanced--not too sweet. The first glass had a small crack in it, so we sent it back. They apologized and quickly made us a new one, so no issues there. We ordered quite a few appetizers, and the two standouts for me were the ceviche and the octopus. Both were packed with flavor without being overly salty, which I really appreciated. The shishito peppers and broccolini were also excellent. The mushroom empanadas were tasty and worth ordering as well. My favorite dish of the night was the pork chop with pears. The pork chop was cooked perfectly--moist, juicy, flavorful, and tender. The sweetness of the pears paired really well with the pork and brought the whole dish together. It was easily the best entrée we had. Dessert was also solid. We tried both the chocolate cake and the cheesecake, and both were a great way to end the meal. Overall, the food was well executed, the service was friendly, and for four people we ordered plenty of food and spent about $500, including drinks. If you're looking for a nice dinner with creative dishes and quality ingredients, Casa Sofia is definitely worth checking out. Btw, they have a few private rooms for larger oarties and the rooms were really pretty

    Casa Sophia is an amazing new chic Latin American restaurant near Oracle Park. The food was amazing and the service was top notch. The manager (or perhaps restaurant owner I am not sure..) made our experience exceptional and paired each our dishes with the right wine. Our starters were the fried pantains (best I've ever had) and the empanadas. Both were fabulous. Our mains were the ribs and the halibut. Ribs were sweet and juicy and fell right off the bone. The fish was cooked perfectly and we were told it was caught that morning! Those were paired with a special "orange" wine. I would ask for it again. Dessert was the best decadent glazed doughnut paired with a fine port. From start to finish this was a perfect night!

    Stumbled upon a new spot in sf after work. Great tasting food and service. They gave me some chips and even more when I finished them. Waiters were attentive and made sure I got everything I needed. Will definitely come back. The interior has a very nice design and traces back to Hispanic roots. The music wasn't too loud and it kept getting more packed the longer I stayed. Come check this place out

    We were in the city visiting, found ourselves near Diamond Heights around dinner time, found this…read moreplace Ingredients on Yelp. High ratings, few reviews, but we were adventurous and decided to try it, glad we did. Ingredients is on a corner, looked relatively new from the outside LED "Open" sign prominent in the window. Once we walked in, however, we entered a different world from what we were expecting. Luxurious mustard seats, lots of tables for four, seating with high gray bench banquettes, reminding me of a 70s tune ("Diamonds in the back..."); retro vibe elegantly done with modern lighting and sconces. Not cheesy by any stretch, but in a neighborhood place you could wear sweats or a suit to eat at. Our waiter was Jackie, an enthusiastic young man who seemed like he wasn't just there to wait on tables. Throughout the evening he was easy to chat with while being knowledgeable about his food he served without being condescending. He made someone unfamiliar with the menu feel new-to-us dishes weren't going to be an experiment. We ordered the beet salad, the 8 ounce hamburger with fries, the mushroom risotto, and on Jackie's recommendation the Nepal BBQ ribs. In the meantime they served us house made brioche buns-warm, soft, delicate and chewy, flaky; reminded me of Texas Roadhouse buns, but far better. Served with a little olive oil and balsamic in a separated dish, you could eat them plain and enjoy the craftsmanship of baked excellence. We wanted more but in retrospect we would've been filled up with brioche and not enjoyed the meal. Tough choice. The roasted beet salad, served with shaved fennel, a beet balsamic jus, and an apple-citrus slaw that was fresh, sweet with hints of citrus offset by the fennel so it wasn't cloyingly sweet. The textures were enjoyable-the softness of the beets with the crunch of the fennel slaw, we anxiously cleaned the plate! Next came the risotto and the burger. What was enjoyable was the mushroom risotto-a refreshing presentation of toothsome Arborio, creamy yet firm, interplaying with a variety of mushrooms that immediately became one of the better risotto we've had, texturally excellent, not one note like most risotto, it came out hot but not searing; deft hands created a concoction that kept us going back for more. The burger was simple, cooked medium, but one of the best we've had in a very long time. We should qualify the burger as a cheeseburger as we were given a choice- bleu cheese or cheddar, we chose the bleu cheese and it was a good choice, just the right amount complimenting the veggies that came with burger. Oh, the fries-skinny, perfectly fried they stayed equally crunchy from first to last, served in a mini fry basket that was cute but it also showed they meant business, these fries were better than that Irish fast food place, and aren't they the iconic standard of French fries? IMO Ingredients is now the new standard. They were served with house made ketchup, excellent with or without. The ribs came last originally accompanied by a Mac and cheese but since we ordered risotto they served the ribs separately with a slaw. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone, but a little more savory than sweet , served with just enough sauce to accompany the ribs without being messy, easy enough to eat using knife and fork, the kicker was a hint of five spice, subtle enough if it's in your background, but not an annoyance if it's not. Flavorful, hearty, filling, delicious, We ended our meal with a homemade "apple pie," a creation made of thinly sliced apples, perhaps poached, with cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, along with fresh fruit, and a yummy scoop of "creamy"mango sorbet. Lots of surprising good vibes-no crust, all apple, not heavy; the mix of spices played well with each other; mango sorbet wasn't icy like sorbets tend to be, the fresh fruits added a touch of freshness to the dish that could have been sweet-centric, but not. A delicate yet satisfying end to a delicious meal. We met the chef, Sok, at the end of our meal, who had his culinary training n Kathmandu and expanded his repertoire in his world travels. He definitely knows how to elevate a good meal, and his Nepal and French influences add an understated flair to what he cooks. Sok takes tremendous pride in what he presents to the diner, evidenced by who he hires, and how each dish is presented. Dining in Ingredients is gratifying, from the dining room to the staff to the dishes themselves. More people should give Ingredients a try, a gem of a neighborhood find, a rarity in SF! Thank you so much, we have a new favorite restaurant!

We had allergies and vegetarians for our party, and they accommodated easily. I'm a sucker for places with rotating menus, and would 1000% come here again to try their other foods! I was satisfactorily full, as I felt like the four plates were just a bit larger than tapas size. The mid-August options I'd chosen were - minestrone soup (4/5) - calamari risotto (5/5) - crispy pork schnitzel (3/5) - chamomile panna cotta (5/5) - buttered sourdough (5/5) The minestrone soup had a great creamy base with the mousse on top. Calamari risotto was delicious, creamy, soft rice, and it had a rich seafood flavor. You can tell the chef added plentiful seafood and the calamari was chewy. Crispy pork schnitzel came with a delicious mustard jus, just a little too salty for my liking. Chamomile panna cotta was probably my favorite, creamy with a subtle chamomile flavor that made it a great ending for the meal. The only thing is the timing of the food coming out was a bit slow, as there were intervals of 30 minutes in between courses. Otherwise service was exceptional and always made their rounds refilling our wine and water!

Came with a few friends later in the evening on Sunday as a walk-in and was seated within about 30 minutes. We started with the duck egg shakshuka, which was excellent. Rich without feeling heavy, with great texture throughout. The bread was perfect for scooping everything up, and our server brought us more after we finished the first round--a small but appreciated touch. The Yaya's fried chicken had great flavor, but at $33, it felt a little underwhelming for what you get. Well-seasoned and enjoyable, just not as memorable as the rest of the meal. The pork chop was the standout and easily one of the best I've had recently. Corn was in season, and the pairing worked beautifully. The pork was cooked perfectly and consistently flavorful throughout. The meal reminded me a bit of Liholiho, so I naturally compared the two. Based on my most recent visits, Nopa takes the win right now. Similar energy and style of food, but Nopa felt more consistent overall, with phenomenal service to match. Would absolutely come back, especially for the pork chop and shakshuka

    3.5 STARS All-4-One…read more Soul For Real. SWV. Tevin Campbell. My Geriatric Millennial heart was SO happy! From now until October, Timbri Hotel's rooftop bar: Rise Over Run is hosting R&B Wednesdays. Rezzies are highly recommended. Book a table at the garden patio - IMO, it's the best seats in the house. Ok, yea it's in the TL right off 6th/Market....not in the nicest area. IMO, the TL is not as bad as some make it to be. In my experience being born and raised in the city, people in the TL say "Hi" and keep to themselves. M E N U Small New American Menu: Small bites (salad, deviled eggs, mini crab rolls, etc), spreads w/ pita bread, burger, fried chicken, fish & chips, steak frites, etc. They advertise food and drink specials for the event but there was none. No HH either. 5% SF surcharge (not noted on menu). D R I N K S Limited spirit selection; wish they carried more small-batch brands. * Grey Whale Gin, shaken ($16) * Grey Whale Gin w/ club soda ($18 x3): Very stiff! Worth the $. * Diet Coke ($5 x3) A P P S * Grilled Pork Belly Skewers w/ miso glaze, pickled mustard seeds (2 pc-$12) Rich, tender, and not overly fatty. The miso's umami didn't come through so it was a bit bland. * Smoked Salmon Rillettes w/ dill, chives, pita ($12) Umm, I'm all for negative space but could they not find a smaller bowl so the rillette doesn't look half eaten? Lol! That aside, this was BOMB! The pita tasted housemade - served piping hot and perfectly chewy with a soft, fluffy interior. Slathered with the rich, creamy smoked salmon spread...it was so delicious. * Fries ($9) Can't go wrong with a huge platter of hot McD type fries. S E R V I C E Welp, this would have been a 5 star review but someone killed the vibes. Most of the staff was friendly, and our server was excellent - very attentive and efficient with drinks and apps arriving quickly. Unfortunately, as we were on our last round of drinks (I had a full cocktail left), a male staff came over and told us they need the table back in 10 minutes, and our server immediately brought the check. I was confused esp since there were two empty tables nearby and he didn't approach the other table that was seated around the same time as us. I later found the fine print on my rezzies about the 2-hour table max which wasn't mentioned when we were seated. Regardless, we still had about 30 mins left. Afterwards, I spoke with Mia at the hotel's front desk. She was very apologetic, looked into the situation right away, and kindly offered a round of drinks on our next visit. A M B I A N C E Chic and trendy with a cute glass-enclosed solarium, and sweeping views of DT and the city's skylines. Mix of tables and lounge areas with firepits and heat lamps (it's windy tho!). Clean restrooms. It was great seeing a diverse crowd for the R&B event...a refreshing change from the usual AI/Tech Bro scene in the city. P A R K I N G Limited street parking (we found parking around the corner before 5 pm). Valet is $80. Overall, we had a great time at R&B Wednesday, and I thought the prices were fair for solid apps and drinks...for a rooftop bar. It was disappointing that our evening was cut short tho. Would love to return before it's over in October but that interaction left a bad impression.
