    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!

    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.

The staff was very attentive and very fun. It's a little things that matter, and they took care of all of them. Service was superb!

This is a place that is going to become very busy very soon and may be hard to get in, but I suspect that Kash, the owner and his wife will be just as pleasant as they were this evening. I'm super fond of Mom and Popp type places and this is definitely one that you need to try out. You will not be disappointed.

The person who states "This is most likely the best restaurant in the world" has to be beyond sheltered; It's not even the best restaurant in the _neighborhood_. The main thing you must understand: the food is "inspired" by Indian food, but it does _not_ taste like Indian food. I suspect its been intentionally watered down to be palatable to milquetoast palettes. We ordered three small plates and the butter chicken as the main. Chicken Tikka Taco. This was greasy to the touch, with chicken and cheese. The dominate flavor is the cheddar cheese. They were trying to be creative but the ultimate effect was similar to a frozen burrito with cheddar cheese and chile verde. If you eat this, close your eyes and imagine a microwaved, frozen burrito..you'll see what I mean. Tandoori Avocado. This features an avocado that's been warmed and covered in a chili sauce. There's a green hummus and a fried dosa crisp. While it sounds wild, once the flavors are mixed together on the plate...the overall effect is that of a green-goddess salad. It's not bad, but its not mind bending. Octopus Xec Xec. The octopous was was cooked nicely and there was a tomato based sauce. Unlike something you'd find in India, it is _not_ heavy on the spices, or tang, or nuttiness. It's just very _neutral_. Butter Chicken. This was the biggest disappointment. I've never had a butter chicken curry that tasted so close to tomato soup in my life. I've eaten tons of butter chicken in my life, hundreds of Indian restaurants. I cannot imagine this was not an intentional choice...It was extremely disappointing. Also, the choice to use chicken breast was poor. Inevitably you get overcooked, chewy chicken pieces. They must have chosen this because (like Disneyland) sometimes you water things down to make it more popular with less adventurous people. The customers next to us (not Indian) kept slathering it on their rice and saying "I can't believe I didn't use to like Indian food!" -- that told me all I needed to know. BTW the naan is insanely bad. They stretched it very thin and then crisped it to the point that it breaks like a cracker. In what world is naan not pillowy and soft? Personally, I was really disappointed with this experience -- the other reviews on yelp are absolute insanity IMO. I know there's a hype train right now -- but someday people will realize this place is not it.

    I came here for lunch with colleagues on a Wednesday afternoon. We were a group of 10 and they had…read moreus seated against the wall with the booth seating and combined tables. The decor was minimal and nice, and definitely felt like a more upscale lunch spot. A majority of the group ordered the chicken sandwich which everyone said was delicious! The duck and steak frites were also a highlight for the group. I got the BLT croissant sandwich, which was tasty but I honestly didn't love their fries. The portions were huge and overall we were happy with our lunch! Service was phenomenal and they navigated serving a large party well. Even on a random Wednesday there were a ton of customers. I definitely want to come back for dinner and to try more of their menu items.

    Less than 1 star - Won't be back, and we just bought a house two blocks away…read more I made a reservation for two and specifically requested inside seating. When we arrived, the host -- a blonde woman with a serious attitude problem -- tried to seat us at a cramped makeshift table outside in direct sunlight where there was heavy foot traffic. When we reminded her of our indoor reservation, she was annoyed and told us to wait as "you can see it's packed". Others who asked and didn't have reservations were treated kindly and told "ok don't worry". I was with my mom who was visiting and she is sensitive to direct sunlight which is why we requested an indoor reservation. While we stood there waiting, we noticed a white couple who had clearly finished their meal being (checked paid just sitting) allowed to linger indefinitely, while the table right next to them was being rushed out and asked to bag their leftovers "overthere" because the restaurant was busy. That contrast was not lost on us. When we were finally seated inside (also cramped -- tables are packed very tight), my mom nudged our table slightly to create a little breathing room from the couple next to us. Or at least make it equidistant between table. The same host walked over and told her not to move the tables. No warmth, no apology for the wait -- just another reminder that we were an inconvenience. I was confused about the treatment received. Can someone explain? And then the food. The omelette was runny and greasy. The chicken in my sandwich was so overcooked and dry it was actually painful to swallow -- I'm not exaggerating. I was so excited to find a neighborhood spot after moving nearby. This was supposed to be a lovely Saturday brunch on May 23. Instead, the host managed to ruin the entire experience before we even sat down. The food finished the job. We won't be returning.
