    New Espresso Martini
    Duane R.

    I don't normally eat fried chicken but when I do I want it to taste like their fried chicken sandwich. Not only was it juicy (not in the least bit dry) but very tasty. The 100 layer potato was crispy and oh wee was it so good. Washed it down with the best martini in SF - New Espresso Martini. This was fantastic! Service was as good as the food. This place is a keeper.

    Made a reservation and came here with my sister when they had all of the holiday festive drinks! We showed up early and ended up grabbing a seat at the bar instead of sitting down at a table. The bartenders were fabulous and the drinks are very well crafted. The cocktail menu is extensive and I look forward to trying some of their regular non-holiday drinks. The food was great, we got the famous ricotta to start and then the burger and fries. Both items were great and the burger is very solid. Overall, my sister and I had a fabulous time and we look forward to coming back. I definitely recommend sitting at the bar- the bartenders are fabulous and you get to watch them make gorgeous cocktails!

    Amazing, amazing, amazing. I was told about Causwell's when I first came up to San Francisco. Was told that it was a great place for burgers and really good food. I'll be honest, I didn't visit for a few months as I was busy checking out some of the other restaurants in the area. One day I had a real urge for a great cheeseburger. When I went there to order my cheeseburger, I saw it had American cheese, which I'm not a fan of. They had to explain to me that their American cheese was real American cheese, not fake kraft American cheese. I took a chance. I'm so glad I did. Smash burger style. The burger came with all the juices you'd want, and the cheese was fantastic. Fast forward to a sunny weekend as I was walking by and I noticed they're open for brunch. That's when I found out about Ivan's Chiliques. Complete with chorizo and avocado. Amazing! It's my go-to brunch, and my go-to dish, especially on sunny days where you can sit outside and bask in the sun here in San Francisco in the Marina. Whether you're here for a weekend morning brunch or for a weekday evening burger and beer, (or any of the other amazing dishes), Causwell's is a no-brainer five-star local restaurant. Enjoy!

    We visited Causwells on a Sunday afternoon and got seated outdoors right away. They were serving brunch, for which the menu was relatively small. I wanted to order the N/A Aperitif Spritz, but just couldn't justify it for $17, so I ended up sticking with water. The cocktail list did look amazing though. For food, I ordered the Housemade Ricotta and Smoked Salmon Sliders. The Ricotta was tasty and I liked the subtle rosemary honey flavor. This item is definitely meant to be shared, but I was starving. The Smoked Salmon Sliders were tiny, but pretty good, especially they homemade pretzel buns. My partner and his family enjoyed their food as well, including the Causwells Breakfast, Cochinita Hash, and Breakfast Burrito. Overall, I've had better brunches in SF, but would return to the famous burger.

    We came a little after opening on a Saturday, and the place was already starting to fill up but we were seated quickly. I ordered the Americana burger with fries, and my husband got the brunch burger. Both were solid, high-quality burgers that were juicy and fresh. The fries were great too. Our friends ordered similarly, but one of them got the crispy onions as a side... and wow, they were delicious. I was honestly a little jealous and wish I had ordered those! (Mental note for next time I come) We all ordered cocktails and really enjoyed them. I had the espresso martini, which is on the San Francisco Chronicle's list of "Best Martinis in SF," and I completely agree! The inside of Causwells is super cute and cozy, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Definitely a place we'd come back to!

    Brunch burger  Tropicana

    11 years later, I came back for the brunch burger today and it didn't let me down. Stopped in for brunch on a Friday afternoon about an hour or two after they opened and got a seat immediately by the window. The staff was awesome - friendly and attentive. Their cocktail menu leaned more gin and or notes-I-don't-love, but I got the Tropicana at the servers recommendation and it was delicious. My meal came out in less than 10 minutes, hot and fresh. The burger hit the spot and was everything I remembered it to be. The vibes were great, and I was glad I decided to sit inside because the music was jammin (but not too loud). Not 5 stars only because the prices are a bit steep ($18+ cocktails, $20 burger), but if you got it or want to treat yourself, it's a great spot.

    Excellent people-watching seating outside in a well covered parklet. We stopped by just before 5pm on a Tuesday and were easily seated. Empty inside, but patio seating filled in. Have a small happy hour 3-5pm. Pros: - Food is decent. Burger was a strong 4/5 (though i asked for my onions grilled, and they were sadly raw and difficult to pull off). Salad with sunchokes and citrus was a nice bit of roughage, nice bitterness in the lettuces. - Banana bread 'grilled cheese' is an epiphany. Must try. - Cocktails were fun & IGworthy. - Vibes & location feel so perfect on a sunny afternoon. Cons: - 1 bathroom stall, can only imagine how rough this gets when during a busy dinner service. - Service was friendly, but often multiple asks for the same item, and long waits between check ins. Overall, a decent spot in an area flush with choice. Probably more of a 3.5 than a 4, but well round up here!

    Americana Burger
    Tabitha C.

    This place is great for brunch! The menu is full of hearty options with semi-creative takes on comfort food. I'm a big fan of the banana bread grilled cheese and the biscuits and gravy. Everything is filling and feels thoughtfully done without being overly fussy. They have one of my favorite cheeseburgers in the city as well. The Americana burger is a go to every time and it never disappoints. Huge, simple, and done really well, it's the kind of burger you think about long after you've finished it. The drinks are just as memorable as the food. The espresso martini is fabulous with a subtle hint of banana that makes it unique. Their holiday cocktails around Christmastime are really nice too. As with everywhere in this area, I'd recommend making reservations ahead of time and try not to deal with parking at all if you can avoid it. The interior is on the smaller side and can get pretty loud, so sitting outside in the parklet is ideal if the weather allows. Great place for brunch on a sunny day.

    Americana Burger

    Came to Causwells on a Sunday afternoon in the Marina and was able to snag a cute table outside! I've heard a lot about this spot and it definitely did not disappoint. Food: Deviled Eggs (4/5): Pretty standard deviled egg... good, but nothing too crazy. Ricotta (4/5): Yummy and well balanced. The rosemary honey on top was a really nice touch. Americana Burger (5/5): GET. THE. BURGER. I totally see why people say it's one of the best burgers in SF. Super juicy, flavorful, and that special sauce!? Would come back for the burger!

    Aptly named, The Grinch
    Elaine Y.

    Came to Causwells and really enjoyed the experience! We sat at the bar for brunch so we got a front row seat to all the festive drinks that people ordered and let me tell you, that Grinch cocktail? Delicious! It was floral, with just a touch of acidity, and I was also impressed that the pandan flavor came through. The pumpkin pie slush was a little harder to pull the nuances depending on its state but I did get the hints of apple and the miso soy milk in the beginning when it was more frozen and then when it started to melt, the roasted pumpkin was very evident. For brunch, we shared a few dishes including the smoked salmon sliders, the cochinita hash, and the butter seared banana bread. Everything was really good! For the sliders, it was the perfect ratio of bun to salmon to crème fraiche. I especially liked the chewiness of the mini homemade pretzel buns and the bite of acidity from the pickled onion. For the hash, I liked that the elements were still a good size making each bite nice and hearty. The egg was more jammy than runny, but it was still very good. The house hot sauce was also really nice! It was sweet upfront but had that nice lingering heat in the back. Last but not least, the banana bread. Yum! The whipped butter was excellent and gave a nice salty creamy contrast to the caramelized banana flavor from the fluffy loaf. This would be an instant repeat if we come back for brunch! The staff highly recommended we come back for dinner if we enjoyed brunch and I think we'll definitely consider the option. While it was a bit ironic that our drinks cost more than our entrees, they were done exceptionally well so it was worth it in my opinion. I recommend a visit if you come to the Marina!

    Americana Burger

    Made a reservation for my group, when we checked in we were seated promptly. We came during the holiday season to grab some dinner and check out their holiday drinks menu! Everyone got a different drink, I tried the Christmas Morning drink and it was super cute and unique! The presentation of their drinks is amazing, with holiday inspired cups as well as unique presentation of ingredients within the drink. Mine had ice shaped like a Christmas tree and ornaments. For shareable we ordered: - 100 layer crispy potatoes - super crispy, a little too salty -Brussels sprouts - this was delicious, the Brussels sprouts weren't cooked too mushy or crunchy, it was just right, the seasonings balanced out with the cranberries that were topped on it - pull apart bread - super fluffy and the dips were delicious I had to try their Americana burger - the burger was huge! Did not expect double patty, the bun was light and fluffy, and overall a pretty solid burger. I felt like it could've used a bit more sauce or seasoning on the patties, the whole burger tasted a bit too meaty. A very heavy meal. Parking is also a bit hard in this area, my group circled around for 30 minutes.

    New Espresso martini $18, with roasted banana and smoked coconut foam.
    Scott F.

    6% surcharge. I stopped in for a very quick espresso martini at the bar. Fast service and good ambiance. - 3/5: The New Espresso Martini $18 is very ordinary; I would say it's average. I could barely detect the roasted banana. It's topped with smoked coconut foam, which is also very lightly flavored.

    So I know that they're known for the burgers. (Delicious by the way) But we decided to go a little bit earlier. Around 12pm where at this time they had a brunch menu. We went with a couple different options. The brunch was fairly priced. Caesar salad was $18 add chicken for an additional $7. The smoked salmon sliders were $14 and the deviled eggs were $11. They have a cocktail menu in theme of Girl Scout cookies. Each cocktail was $18. Overall it was pleasant. Our server was very kind and attentive. The restaurant wasn't over packed with people so you'll be able to have a conversation without having to talk over the table next to you. Try out the brunch. They have quite a few options on the menu so there's something for everyone.

I got the Omelette Fried Rice (4.5/5), that came with delicious sriracha bacon, and an okay salad on the side. For my drink, I got the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk (5/5), which was fantastic. It's on the sweeter side, which worked for me. It was fairly busy and a bit loud inside. The dining room is long and narrow but has a decent amount of seating. Service was good, and friendly.

Most Yelp reviews only mention brunch but the dinner was awesome--service; food: taste/quality, presentation, portions, prices we phenomenally low for SF ($200 with a bottle of wine for 4 people). We started with the garlic butter clams-small but tasty. Tuna tartar was excellent quality and enough to share. Samosas were more like empanadas--very good with peanut sauce so good it rivaled my own home made. We continued our culinary adventure with crab fried rice-delicious, a large portion and my son who lives in SF and has tried dozens of crab fried rice ranked it in the top tier. The pacific catch rice noodles with crab was also excellent-big portion, lots of crab, tasty. Final entree was their specialty-Mussaman Curry. Wow, tender meat/potatoe "stew" with a very unique flavor from the star anise/cinnamon and peanut--to die for. Creme Brulee was very good with lots of fresh fruit accompaniment My only complaint was a very limited wine selection. Lapisaia will become one of our regular spots for dinner!!!
