    Equal Parts is quite the vibe. I really loved the ambiance from the moment you walk in, throughout the restaurant, and all the way to the outdoor dining area. It's beautifully designed and definitely a place to see and be seen. Also loved the cat! The food was average overall. We tried the shrimp cocktail, fries, lamb ribs, and bone marrow. The shrimp cocktail was probably my favorite. The shrimp were fresh, large, and tasty, and I loved the presentation in the fish bowl. The fries were standard, and the lamb and bone marrow were both fine, just nothing I'd necessarily come back for. The chocolate mousse was a miss for me. I ended up sending it back and getting the sorbet instead, which was much better. It was a bit awkward as the waiter made me describe what I didn't like about it and then came back and asked for more feedback - I just didn't like it at all. I'm not much of a cocktail person, but I did really enjoy the Carpe Diem. It was light, refreshing, and easy to drink. The service was my least favorite part of the experience. The host was very accommodating and moved us to the beautiful outside patio on request, but our waiter, Tommy, wasn't warm or attentive. He did not smile even once. We were having drinks and appetizers for about 45 minutes and no one came to take our entrée order, so I eventually had to flag someone down. I know it was a busy Saturday night, but the service was below average. Overall, I'd come back for the vibes and a cocktail; I might have to be convinced if there's a dish I should try though. The ambiance was definitely the highlight for me.

    Beets & carrots

    Equal Parts nails the atmosphere. The art, entrance, and tropical-inspired design immediately transport you and make the space feel like an escape from the city. Service was great from start to finish. We were checked in promptly and even seated a little before our reservation time (We had an 8:45pm Wednesday reservation). We weren't sure what we wanted to drink, so the bartender took the time to ask what we typically enjoy and gave us some great recommendations. Once seated, the service hit that sweet spot of being attentive without hovering. We never felt rushed or like someone was constantly checking in, so we could actually settle in and enjoy dinner. The standout cocktail for me was the "What Da Fig", it was smooth, fruity, and balanced without being too spirit-forward. I would genuinely return just to order this drink again. Our favorite dish was easily the beets and carrots with yogurt, pistachios, and carrot top salsa verde. So good. The flavors were bright and well balanced, the pistachios brought a great crunch, and somehow the beets had none of the overpowering earthiness they can sometimes have. I need to know the secret! The maitake mushroom tempura was more of a mixed bag. The mushrooms were fried beautifully with a great crisp texture, but I wanted more seasoning. Even with the accompanying sauce, the flavor fell a little flat. The fries were solid- thin, crispy, and served with really good sauces. Four because we haven't explored enough of the menu yet to give it a full five, but based on the atmosphere, service, cocktails, and that beet and carrot dish, there's plenty here to bring us back.

    Very disappointing, do not come here for late night happy hour. Was very excited to try Equal Parts after hearing great reviews on the social medias. Unfortunately, I will have no part in equal parts moving forward. The management and hospitality were the issue at Equal Parts. The waiter was quite rude and refused to allow me to order off the late night menu despite it being advertised online and on the instagrams. Waiter then argued in front of customers with bartender who attempted to fix the problem by honoring the late night happy hour menu. Management and waiter did not seem to care about the issue and told me that they would fix the website. Waiter and management made no attempts to offer similar items or apologize for the misleading advertisements. If this is how they treat their guests when they make mistakes I am glad they did not receive my business! *At the time of writing this, they still have not changed the website. Beware.

    I've been here for just drinks but we watched the Spain Argentina World Cup final and had a good time, As always the ambiance is great, almost feels like a vacation. And the drinks are very good, both cocktails and their wine list. The food menu is good for a brunch vibe but the one area it lacked was the service. They were very accommodating and while they weren't packed, there a good amount of people. Still the server we had was rushing us and being a little rude throughout. It's for sure worth stopping by.

    Carpaccio
    Sarah L.

    Ordered the beef carpaccio, kona kanpachi, maitake mushroom tempura, and french fries. The kona and beef was really good, sauce was amazing. The mushroom was too salty and oily in my opinion, but great crunch. Great ambiance, loved the wooden walkway.

    The most vibey restaurant! Recently tried equal parts for dinner and we had a fantastic time! The food, service, and decor is top notch. I highly recommend getting their green cioppino - it has a kick of spice and packed with flavor. Would also recommend the maitake mushroom tempura, my husband doesn't usually like mushrooms but this was tasty! Parking: there's a closeby garage that is $5 an hour

    What a cute vibey spot. We came for a birthday party and they did a great job doing a set menu. The maitake mushrooms, kanpachi, and the grilled branzino were definitely the highlights. I had high hopes for the cioppino but it was too tart sour for my liking. The fried chicken was pretty tasty but since it was last to come out, we were way too full. The drinks were great! I enjoyed the peachy blinders. The panna cotta was nice too. Our server was attentive and helpful with taking photos. The entrance to this restaurant is so fun and makes a great photo. Oh and they had a tv so I could sneak peeks at the World Cup game. Recommended for a night out with friends.

    Lamb ribs

    I had dinner service for the first time last night & it was an excellent experience. Reservations are strongly recommended as they are very popular and busy but the long bar area is first come first serve. I was able to make reservations a few weeks in advance for 7 PM on a Saturday. The entrance walkway is beautifully decorated with wood accents and soft lighting. The main dining room is up a few steps and is beautiful, has high ceilings with sky lights, low profile furniture & soft lighting with candles on the dining tables. There is an outdoor deck but I am not sure if they have any heaters but everyone who was sitting outside was wearing their jackets. I reserved a table inside. Service is amazing! We were warmly greeted by our server, who was helpful guiding us through the menu. We like to share plates & this food menu is designed for that. Cocktails feature many ingredients made in house & I had the What the Fig cocktail (honeydew & cucumber infused vodka, Dolin vermouth, falernum) and later had the Ai Papaya (clarifed papaya infused pisco, dairy, lemon, simple syrup). Both cocktail were unique & very tasty. For food, we had: Fried Maitake Mushrooms - we were warned in advanced that this is a big portion, but we were very hungry and ate the whole thing. It was not greasy although it was fried, and had a mild dipping sauce on the side. Shrimp Cocktail - big juicy shrimp was super fresh. Kanpachi Crudo - delicately prepared & plated & was delicious. Octopus - I personally thought that it was just ok & thought that it was on the drier side than other octopus that I have had. Lamb Ribs - our server warned us that most people expect lamb chops, but these are lamb ribs, which are fattier and richer than lamb chops and to be prepared. I'm glad that she set our expectations. I agree that it's faster, but the flavors were delicious and the meat was very tender. Panna Cotta - vanilla panna cotta with mango & passion fruit topping was light & not too sweet, the perfect ending to a great meal. It was a great experience & I will be back soon.

    Ryan's service exceeded our expectations. He was attentive, provided excellent food and drink recommendations, and was very accommodating when modifying a drink for my friend. His hospitality truly stood out and made our experience memorable. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a great vibe and energy. Combined with the outstanding service, it made for a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely be returning. We were also delighted by the personalized menu created for the birthday girl. It was such a thoughtful touch that made the celebration feel extra special and memorable.

    Roasted delicata and kabocha squash

    With a mesmerizing floral archway, Equal Parts draws customers in to experience delicious coastal cuisine. The restaurant has a beautifully decorated interior as well as a cozy tree-lined outdoor seating area. The greatest surprise was meeting Coco and Marco, the restaurant owner's cats, who would often wander table to table or cozy next to a diner. Standout main dishes were the braised pork shank and roasted octopus. Both were so tender, generous portions, and worth the price. The only dish that fell short for us was the dark chocolate mousse, which was a frozen swirl of chocolate with a side of toasted bread (the same bread given for the cioppino). The dish was not like any traditional mousse and the bread felt too heavy to be dessert. Despite our disappointment with the dessert, the appetizers and mains were overall amazing. I would recommend everyone come try this place.

    Cocktail, small bites
    Anh T.

    What a fun event! I loved the presentation along with the snacks, complimentary cocktail, and delicious whiskey. I enjoyed the crispy mushroom, French fries, potato circles, and steak. The tempura was crispy and satisfying, while the steak slices were cooked well and shared between my friend and I. The whiskey shots were strong, smoky, and pure. I generally enjoyed the experience surrounding Ardbeg Day. Beyond the excellent presentation of the food, I appreciated the presentation and storytelling about the whiskey, which made the event feel quite engaging and memorable as we shared our whiskey shots together.

    Needed an hour to kill ahead of a dinner reservation so we came by for a round of cocktails at the bar. As a walk-in, you could just grab a seat at the bar. Atmosphere is beautifully decorated and the entire vibe feels like you're in Tulum. - Ai Papaya - Clarified papaya infused pisco, dairy, lemon, simple, condensed air. A riff on a Pisco sour. Well, balanced and flavorful with a beautiful clean presentation. TBH, while the drink was tasty I actually liked the condensed air on top more than the drink itself. Whatever ingredients went into making is very well done. Given the elevated atmosphere of the space, I thought that drinks would cost $20 plus but they're actually decently priced at about $16 each. Will come back and try some more drinks.

    Delicata squash appetizer

    Dinner tonight and it was ok. Was very much looking forward to this spot, and there was nothing bad, some ok, and some good. First off, we were seated and then no one came by for a really long time. Once they finally did we ordered some drinks and apps but had to ask about the best way to order. Turns out it's family style so now you know lol. For appetizers, the carpaccio was really good - good mix of flavors and textures. Shrimp cocktail - fine, basic. Dinner entrees - rough. Everything was tan and fatty - missing flavor, acid, veggies or something: branzino was the best of the bunch - pork and lamb rib were fatty and bland. Dessert was amazing and I don't have a sweet tooth. Panna cotta is super yummy and the chocolate mousse with the bread was phenomenal. All in all would go back with low service expectations for drinks and desserts - not a group dinner

    Pub Crawl #2 Romantic, enigmatic, and undeniably sexy…read more No, I'm not talking about my man! Those were the exact words that came to mind as I glanced around upon walking in. This bar was our second stop after wandering around SF, a bit indecisive about where to go next. The dining room and bar were bustling with couples, but luckily, we snagged two seats at the bar. Honestly, this place feels like a top spot for Tinder (or any dating app) meetups. The friendly bartender quickly set out two glasses and poured us water, but to my surprise, he also brought over champagne glasses. As we waited, he offered us a taste of champagne--such a thoughtful, complimentary touch! I can't recall exactly what we ordered, but my man's drink had Mezcal, while mine was something sweet and fruity. We both thoroughly enjoyed our choices. After a long time without dinner, I was absolutely craving French fries. The crinkle-cut fries arrived perfectly golden and salty. We also ordered the bone marrow--rich, savory, and buttery. Spread over toast, it was pure bliss. We enjoyed our second pub crawl stop so much that we vowed to come back for a full dinner. Honestly, if couples don't end up getting laid after visiting Petit Lil's, they're definitely doing something wrong!

    So warning- this place has two yelp pages- this is my review posted on Lilly Coit's page- which is…read morethe same bar and restaurant. This happened in the winter- "Owner" screamed at a woman for closing the door. It was a giant fuss on an absolute cold March night and the owner just seems to make a sport out of embarrassing patrons who were trying to keep warm. This has been consistent- he tends bar too and is rude to a lot of people. Stay away if you like to keep your dignity and not be mortified by a jerk who doesn't deserve your money.

    Apparently North Beach is the best 'hood in the city for nightlife...right now…read more IF I was still in my 20s, I would start the night off at Monroe for Battle of the Decades where drinks start at $1 at 5 pm and increase by $1 every hour until 10 pm. Nosh on zucchini fries at Original Joe's before bar hopping on Grant Ave. IF you like a diverse crowd with DJs spinning hip hop, a visit to Legacy is mandatory. We did a little weekend day drinking at Legacy and when we saw customers sporting their Frisco gear, we knew we were in the right place! Sorry but it's Frisco, The Sco, or The City, it's NEVER San Fran. For those who disagree, tell that to Mac Dre, Too $hort, and the Hells Angels. Plus, Herb Caen eventually took back his "Frisco" stance. Anyhow, after Legacy, I would move on to watch the midnight ballerinas on Broadway and end the night smashing faces with a Golden Boy! A slice of clam & garlic OFC. O T H E R N O T E S * Friendly staff. * Low-key, locals bar with lounge seating, vinyl lined walls, TVs, and projectors for game day. * No HH specials. * Crisp sound system with DJs spinning hip hop on Fridays and Saturdays. * Dog-friendly but obvs wouldn't bring my dogs here when it's crowded at night. * Clean restrooms. * Cc's accepted but there's a discount if you pay cash.

    BFF wanted to stop her after dinner for her 50th birthday…read more I mean I grew up in NB my entire childhood. Love it love it love it but after COVID-19. Nothing has been the same. People are a bit rude and raunchy and don't respect the area for what North Beach stands for. Being in your 40's, it ain't the place really to be. To let loose, gotta have some drinks and blend in. It was bedtime for me. Still had to get home to our kids on the other side of the town way South. Music was cool but wasn't all that. Just came to celebrate and have fun, we did just that.
