    Honestly they did exactly what they were supposed do. Food was great and cooked exactly how ordered. The music was great. I don't know who was on the aux but we were jammin in our seats. Service was great as well. Every server checked on us and were attentive a present, without being over bearing. I would definitely come back

    Cheesesteak sando
    Micki M.

    Hands down best brunch spot in SF! We spent the night at Fisherman's Wharf and searched on Yelp for breakfast brunch spot. Our party of five dropped by for brunch and were seated immediately. We ordered the cheesesteak sandwich, vegetarian omelette, cheesesteak burrito, and BLT w/cheesy fries. Two of us got the cheesesteak sandwich on Ciabatta roll. It was delicious and loaded with thin sliced meat. I got mine with a side salad. Hubs got BLT w/cheesy fries, SIL got the cheesesteak burrito w/salad. Also the vegetarian omelette was loaded with veggies. Plus the plates were beautifully presented with freshest fruit and salad had tons of berries! It was really pretty, I loved the colors and freshness! What impressed us was how efficient and friendly our server was. I can't recommend this place enough! We had a disappointing dinner the night before a@Fog Harbor and coming here made up for the underwhelming visit there! I'm

    One of the best places to get breakfast in the city. By far. I LOVE the French toast here. They don't under dip bread in the batter and the portions are great. I highly recommend the Denver omelette. Fresh fruit is always a plus!

    Outdoor ambiance

    My first visit here was December 27, 2025. I came for breakfast, mid morning. There is indoor and outdoor seating. I think there's probably parking available although you may have to walk a little from a parking lot to get here. But it will be a lovely walk in fisherman's wharf. There was a short wait, but the staff was very accommodating and I sat outside on a beautiful morning. I had eggs Benedict, done to perfection. The hollandaise sauce had just the right amount of acidity. The eggs were poached, soft. I wanted to capture that in the photo. Some may prefer their eggs little harder than this, but I loved these. The English muffins were very nicely done; easy to cut through, and nice chew of crumb. The prices are excellent. I was amused that some of the menu items are named after Hollywood stars.

    There's nothing bad, but nothing great about this spot. Location is probably what keeps them busier since they're at fisherman's wharf. I got the breakfast wrap and the lettuce inside felt VERY out of place. The heat made it a little soggy instead of lettuce making the wrap crunchier. Good amount of avocado at least. Sausage patties seemed dry but came out very hot. Service was fast, nothing too notable in treatment. Fruit served was actually very fresh and flavorful though. Great addition to any meal.

    Super friendly and fast service. I was so impressed with my meal. It was so flavorful. If I'm in the area, I will definitely stop by.

    2 Eggs any Style (scrambled), Hash Brown, Toast, 2 Sausage Patties

    The food and service here are great. It was a bit chilly the days we were in SF. This place leaves its doors open for diners to come and go with ease. Sitting near the door on chilly days is not recommended. However, it was the last table that was still inside and we opted to not wait for one deeper into the restaurant to vacate so we sat at the table right next to the doorway. It was a bit nippy. I believe they leave it open bc they have outdoor seating at well and it would feel awkward to shut the door to the patrons outside. The food was sooo good. Their attention to detail in how they plate their yummy food is wonderful. I appreciate the fruit that came with our meals. It was a refreshing finish to a hearty meal. I have a deep love for breakfast foods. Everything on my plate was perfect. Fluffy eggs. The sausage patties are probably the best I have ever had anywhere. Toast was great with their offerings of spreads. And their Hash was fried to a nice crisp. The microgreens on the Benedict made it so much more exquisite to look at. It was great that this place was right across the street of our hotel. Next time I'm in SF, I will definitely be back.

    This place never disappoints! Great service, great food. On Spring break this Monday morning, glad it wasn't busy.

    The service was really fast and all the waiters were super attentive and friendly. We really appreciated that. We were seated quickly. The food was out very fast and the food was big portions even for the kids menu. Overall the food was really good. The vibe was really nice it is very small and super close to other seats.

    Vivian Leigh- grilled croissant with scrambled eggs, cheddar and chopped bacon. With a side of fresh fruit.
    Roxanne D.

    We stopped by for breakfast because of the great reviews and we're not disappointed. The line went pretty quickly and we were seated outside which allowed us to people watch. Service was attentive, and the meal was delicious and filling. Very reasonably priced for the area. I had the Vivian Leigh, which was a grilled croissant with scrambled eggs, chopped bacon, and cheddar cheese. It comes with a side of fresh fruit, which is liberally piled on and varied. My husband had the hash burrito which was so robust, he was only able to eat half. It's packed with scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, avocado, and ham. A great value for a great meal.

    Eggs Florentine Benedict
    Anna N.

    Solid cafe!! I was looking for a nearby place with breakfast and I'm glad this place popped up on my search. The food was well made. Presentation was still nice, but the food was no-frills which I appreciate. I tried the Florentine Benedict and a French Toast. I didn't have any complaints with either. Usually I can't stand soggy french toast or french toast with a thick bread like brioche, so I was happy they had this normal/thinner type of french toast here. Delicious crispy hash browns. The place is not spacious, but it is still very comfortable. Service was great and the servers were attentive. The restroom is quite a trek though.

    Is there takeout?

    Yes we do take out

    Hello are organic food?

    Not all items

    What's the average wait time to be seated and can I make reservations?

    It’s around 15 to 20 minutes. We don’t take reservations first come, first serve.

    Do they have gluten options for bread or french toast?

    No we don’t have gluten free bread

    Is it dog friendly?

    Very. I saw someone there with 2 dogs. Outside of course, but they'd set out water bowls for them right next to their table.

    Anytime that would be best to go there and not have a massive line? Tried today and it was way to long to wait with a toddler. Lol

    Best time to go is when they just open. The place fills up fast.

    Do they have parking validation?

    No parking Validation JoJo. Food is great.

    Do they offer Vegan options? Or are they flexible to alter items to be vegan?

    I'm a vegetarian and they had plenty of options for me. They are pretty flexible too!

    Excellent service! My only advice is to come and see for yourself. When we called to ask about a…read morewait, they mentioned there was not wait... part of the reason they do that is because they don't keep a list. You either have reservations or you're a walk in and you stand in line until a table is available for you. At first this was strange, but I think it makes for a better experience. The team was incredible, they were so kind on a day that can be stressful for a small restaurant. We had incredible food. I was so happy to get my Eggs Royale and my husband said the French toast was the best he's ever had. (Even comparing it to French toast in Paris) No notes. This will be our Mother's Day place going forward next time with reservations.

    My partner and I decided to go to the city one weekend and decided we wanted brunch. After looking…read morethrough some place, we came across Sisterita and it looked very promising. It seems like this place is an asian fusion brunch place incorporating french dishes into thai/asian themed dishes which is up our alley. We made a reservation at 1:45 PM and we had to wait for about an extra 30 minutes before getting seated. Initially, I wanted to try their crab fried rice but unfortunately they were out of crab. We decided to get the Alcatraz Escape and the Brioche french toast which were recommended by the wait staff. The staff was generally friendly and accommodating but I can tell they were swamped and stressed out with all the people they were trying to serve. The food itself tasted decent, the Alcatraz Escape had a tasty flavor which incorporates tom yum paste (sweet, sour, tangy flavor) into their scramble with about 4 shrimps. The side of crispy chicken was good but nothing that stood out to us. The brioche was soft but there wasn't much flavoring besides the fruits and caramelized banana. It was served with evaporated milk which made the brioche soft but not adding much flavor to it. The price however was quite pricey. For two dishes as a side we paid around $78 with tax and tip.

    I still love Brenda's!!!!!!!…read more I haven't been back in a few years, but I am happy to report: they are still just as great! It was my daughter's first time and she loved it just as much as I did. We came during restaurant week so we decided to get the Creole Sampler so she could try a bunch of different items. (Sampler included red beans and rice, collard greens, fried catfish, hush puppies, plain beignet and gumbo). We also ordered the beignet flight and shrimp and grits. Plenty of food for the 2 of us, plus we had left overs. I can't not order the shrimp and grits. It's just so damn good! It's so rich and flavorful! It came out SUPER hot. Grits and cheese still bubbling. My daughter and I were both surprised she liked the collard greens. She's usually not a fan. She also liked the red beans and rice and she doesn't usually like beans either. That just goes to show how amazing the food is here! We came in around 4something pm on a rainy Sunday. There weren't many people there, but by the time we left it was more than half full. Service was friendly, and there was a band playing, which was a nice touch.

Let me start with the star of the show - the Shrimp & Grits. The flavors blended so well I did a little dance in my seat. Creamy, savory and delicious! I will be dreaming about the Shrimp and Grits from now on. The Bananas Foster French Toast melted in my mouth. So yummy. I wasn't a fan of the Crawfish Beignets. It was something about the flavor of the red powder/ seasoning that left me underwhelmed. All in all, one of my favorite stops while I was in town.
