    Really great restaurant! We were seated quickly on a Saturday morning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place does get busy very fast so beware.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, I wouldn't recommend this place for large parties just because of how small it is and how close the seating is.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But if you're a small group with a maximum of four people, you're good to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I tried the Nutella latte and while I did like it, eating marshamallows with ice was rather weird. I think I would recommend whipped cream instead. Onto the breakfast, everything came out perfect. The French toast was tosted to perfection. My son loved his nutella pancakes and my husband absolutely devoured his Nutella latte. I highly recommend this place!

    Met the owner Matt, who grew up in the restaurant business and knows his stuff.

    Loved my experience at the Heist Restaurant, delicious breakfast and great service. I had the Brekky - scrambled eggs with chorizo, seasoned perfectly. Met the owner, Matt, who takes his restaurant VERY seriously. They got it down, from the beginning of your experience to the end. Can't wait to come back.

    I came here for Saturday brunch with a group of friends, and we got seated immediately. I ordered a captain crunch breakfast burrito with avocado. I really enjoyed how flavorful and spicy the chorizo and sauces were. However, I prefer crispy potatoes in my burrito, and these were very soft and mushy. Service could've been better. We got handed the check before I was even halfway done with my burrito. I felt very rushed for no reason, as the restaurant was half empty at the time. Overall, I'd say the breakfast burrito here was pretty decent but not worth going out of your way for if you're not in this neighborhood already.

    Captain crunch and slinger burritos
    KC W.

    I love a good breakfast burrito, so when I saw Heist on social media, I knew I had to try. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is definitely cozy with mostly indoor seating and a few tables outside, but my party of 2 was able to get seated immediately when we showed up on a Saturday just before noon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the Captain Crunch and Slinger burritos to share, and both were so good! The scrambled eggs were so soft and fluffy, and the home fries were elite. Both proteins were super flavorful as well, though I think the chorizo was slightly saltier because of the light spice. The sauce on the side was so good too - I ended up taking 1/3 of my burrito home, and it was so nice that they automatically packed a sauce container for me. We also each ordered an iced americano, which was light and smooth but nothing to write home about. Our server was friendly and attentive, and despite the constant turnover, we never felt rushed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is a bit small with tables placed close to each other, but it still feels pretty open with the high ceilings, plants, and sunlight shining in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Such a great neighborhood spot for brunch - will definitely be back!

    Lavender latte with almond milk. Had to order a to go because I loved it!
    Paola D.

    Everything was delicious! I especially loved their toast and cherry butter! Great quality ingredients! Service was amazing with friendly staff! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience was chill, roomy, modern, and lots of natural lighting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will come here again!

    Heist Platter
    Rondell A.

    I recently went to Heist Restaurant with a friend on a Saturday morning around 10am. We luckily beat the rush because right after we were seated, a line started forming outside. Definitely recommend getting there early. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat inside, and the space was bright and airy with a really welcoming vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's also outdoor seating available, which looked great for a sunny day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the Heist Platter to share. I'm not usually a big breakfast person, but everything was absolutely delicious. Even splitting it, I left feeling completely full. The portions were generous and the flavors were on point. The French toast with the topping was not too sweet, but still delicious. My friend, who is a serious cold brew fan, ordered their cold brew and said it was really good. High praise coming from someone who drinks it all the time. Overall, great atmosphere, great food, and worth the visit. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes on the menu.

    BREKKY with modified eggs (fried instead of scrambled) and avocado
    Clarissa C.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very bright, friendly brunch spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The servers were friendly and attentive, and on a weekday morning, I had no problem getting seating and getting food quickly. The brekky plate was delicious, especially the bacon and the potatoes! Highly recommend!

    Gluten-free breakfast burrito - delicious!

    Right around the corner from Hotel Adagio, Heist has amazing fast and friendly service, and delicious gluten free options. Brunch served every day. Great for solo diners or with a group. Thank you Heist for starting my mornings off right!

    Amazing breakfast! It was perfect. I got the Heist plate (lots of food): Egg, pancake, home fried (crispy goodness), secret sauce, toast and homemade chorizo patties (has a little kick to it). Can't wait for my next visit!!!

    This is a terrific breakfast/lunch restaurant when in San Francisco. Small, but mighty. Lots of choices for pancakes, burritos and other breakfast dishes. I had the Drea's Burrito...very yummy. I do need to warn you that the aioli is very spicy order on the side if you are questioning. Our service was excellent! Everyone was making sure we were happy. The food came out quickly, for our party of 5. Cute, cozy space. Interesting furniture. Welcoming and inviting. I heartily recommend!

    We came here because this place is supposed to be very highly rated and I could definitely see why. The service was really good. Our waiter was really warm and friendly and was always nearby checking on us. The food also came out really fast as well, which was good because we were both catching flights that day. The food was definitely good. I will say some of the flavors were not my preference though. For example, I don't really like when my pancakes taste sweet. I prefer them to really not have a sweet taste at all before I add syrup and their pancakes were definitely noticeably sweet, which isn't my preference, but I'm sure plenty of people like them that way and they were definitely cooked very well. It's just not my preference. I also ordered the chorizo as one of my sides, which isn't a usual choice for me, but I wanted to try something different and just a heads up... It is very spicy. It almost tasted like there were literally habanero peppers blended inside the chorizo because it was hot and that kind of threw me off for a breakfast meal but again it wasn't bad at all. It was actually good just not really my preference. I got the scrambled eggs with cheese though and those were really good and overall, I just enjoyed my meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I liked the decorations and I would definitely suggest this place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Harvest Scrambled

    Flight at SFO got cancelled and we were looking for a breakfast spot that was open early in the morning and thank god it was this one. Service was wonderful, our server was very attentive and welcoming and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the environment was very peaceful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the harvest scrambled and it was just the right amount of food to eat without feeling overly full. Will definitely come back again

    Delicious omg

    Definitely a hidden gem. Get the Heist platter or w/e it's called, it is incredible and worth the money!! Their espresso drinks are on point, their menu was formulated with a complete thought, and the art on their walls is gorgeous and gets you in breakfast mode. This may turn out to be my new SF breakfast spot as it is quite near the hotel I frequent. Give it a whirl and enjoy the berry butter on the decadent French toast. Yum. Oh, incredible service, too.

    Spicy Captain Crunch Burrito: Eggs, bacon, housemade spicy chorizo, potatoes, cheese, secret sauce ($17.95 +$3 avo) - GET THIS!

The martinis are excellent, the burger is one of the best in San Francisco, the steak tartare is always a must-order, and the popovers absolutely live up to the hype. What really made this visit stand out, though, was our server, David M. He was warm, polished, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. He anticipated what we needed without hovering and struck that perfect balance of professionalism and personality that makes you feel truly taken care of. Excellent food, a beautiful new dining room, and service that reminds you why hospitality matters. I'll absolutely be back, and hope to sit in David M.'s section again.

    Such a beautiful space! Really helps make the dining experience feel special…read more Excellent apps and mains. Maybe best beef tartare I've ever had. Solid Caesar with real anchovies, not overdressed. Roasted prime beef and verlasso salmon were incredibly tender but what really knocked it outta the park was the seasoning and veg sides - the ponzu braised cabbage under the salmon, the hen of the woods and potato puree under the beef. Didn't get the fried chicken this time but it's incredible. Burrata whipped potatoes haricot verts, chocolate cupcake, and Madelines were solid. Assume options off the event menu are better. The croutons a little stale in the salad and the cupcake frosting tasting artificial were my only notes.

The 2nd visit the service was impeccable, everything went exactly as we had hoped. We will be back. We can recommend the scallops and the Salmon, the chicken was very tasty. Also, for the food, I recommend the dips and the fresh pitas, so good. We'll be back just for that. Reminds me of the old Berkeley restaurant years ago, Holy Land (IYKYK). Mmmm. Thanks!

One thing we really appreciate is that it's dog-friendly, so we were able to bring our dog and enjoy breakfast outside in the sun. It made for a really relaxing start to the day. The food was delicious, and everyone in our group really enjoyed their meal. The smoothies were also fresh, refreshing, and a great addition to breakfast. My only complaint is that the portions were a bit on the small side, we were still a little hungry after finishing our plates. Overall, it's a great breakfast spot with tasty food, a welcoming atmosphere, and dog-friendly outdoor seating. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in sf.

    Killing some time before dinner, stopped in for Happy hour at this supposedly legendary place…read more From ths outside, it didnt look like much, in fact it had Dive written all over it. I was pleasantly suprised walking in, as I was greeted with a Warm, cozy rusticly decorated place full of charm . Immediately through the door to the right was a hof-brau manned by a gentleman ready to serve up whatever culinary delight you wanted to try. The place was peppered with tables, occupied by what appeared to be a heavy presence of regulars. Took a spot at the bar, and ordered a beer and a shot while my sister got a manhatten. Prices for happy hour were well within reason and the pour for the bourbon was quite generous. The barkeep was gregarious and engaging . I want to go back for sure and try the hof-brau. It gave me a similar vibe like the old sams in sacramento.

    A San Francisco classic!…read more Had the pleasure to be in the neighborhood looking for a bite, and got quick nods of agreement when I suggested we hit Tommy's Joynt! I've been coming here for over 30 years, but I know this place has probably been there for at least that long before I made my way through its doors! We all ordered slim plates, which is a nice option, as the provide lighter meals for a lower price. For $14.50 I got Prime Rib (I think they call it round steak), mashed potatoes, a salad, a roll, and a side of beans. They offer a wide range of other options, including rotating nighttly specials. The guys at the counter are awesome, and are eager to serve you up a tasty plate, just how you want it! Everything is perfectly serviceable. Drinks are available on the other side of the room, and they have a great selection of beer and liquor (and I expect wines as well). I had a Ukrainian beer with my steak, and it hit the spot! Service at the bar is also quite good. I didn't have an Irish Coffee, since they didn't have fresh coffee made and we were in a bit of a time crunch, but I recall those being a treat as well. Huge helpings of tasty food at a reasonable price, and service with a smile makes this a heartwarming bit of San Francisco's classic dining. Give them a try for food, or just come in and have a drink - folks around here seem to be friendlier than most - maybe it's just getting good food at a great price!

Good wine and cocktail selection from the bar. I would pass on their burgers though which are mediocre. What makes this place 5-stars is the service and ambiance. Some of their staff have been there for several years, which is a testament to how well the restaurant is run. Since it's along the Embarcadero and close to Fisherman's Wharf, a lot of tourists tend to wander in. And this is probably why their website says there's a strict dress code. But I feel comfortable coming here in shorts and a t-shirt. The staff is always welcoming. I also go to the Los Altos Grill which is the same restaurant as Hillstone.

Today me and my wife stopped in for lunch as we have a few times before. It was a warm day in the Bay Area today and we were out walking so I wore a nice sleeveless shirt. It was nice, new and clean. The hostess asked me to cover my shoulders but I said I didn't have anything with me. She sent the manager over. The manager told me no sleeveless shirts for men are allowed in her restaurant. Mind you this is lunch. Not dinner. This is not a super fancy place. Me and my wife were both properly and nicely dressed. I politely told her that I identify as a woman. She said it didn't matter. I said so you misspoke a moment ago and male or female cannot wear sleeveless shirts? She said correct. I looked around and there was a woman behind us wearing a sleeveless shirt. Not nearly as nice as mine or dressed as nice as me. I said ok I will wait here while you turn her away too. The manager then became very rude and said she isn't going to serve me no matter what. I told her are you sure about this and she said yes and asked me to leave. How embarrassing. I have never been turned away from any establishment in my life. Is this not discremenation due to my gender? Businesses have the right to refuse service to anyone unless it is for race, gender or age. I will be contacting an attorney this week. This is not ok. This is not right and I will stand up for my rights and the rights of others.
