    We took the Blazing Saddles e-bike tour and one of the stops was here. Went on to grab a snack and was so impressed by the menu items. The Italian sandwiches looked so good so will have to reopen another time to try those. Just picked up a banana bread instead this time. It was quite good and it was nice to sit outside on their patio too enjoy the beautiful view of the Golden Gate Bridge.

    Casual takeout spot by the presidio tunnel top park area. There is a counter with food items like square pizza slices, sandwiches and more. It feels a bit like a grocery store inside and some tables to sit outside. I got four slices of pizza to share with my friend which came out to around $55. Pretty pricy indeed. I tried the pizza bolognese, upside down pizza, pepperoni, and mushroom. It was warmed up but not crispy. I felt like everything was a bit too salty and greasy for my liking. The crust of all the slices were very bready and thick. My friend thought the bolognese was the best one, while I preferred the upside down. They were very filling and I was full by 3/4 of a slice. Still a nice option here and nice to eat it on the lawn or benches for a picnic

    Went again and we decided to order chicken sandwich and pesto pasta since we were hungry and didn't want to drive out (food trucks had closed). What a disappointment! Both items were not good but soooo pricey. I am not ordering here anymore for sure. At best just get a loaf of banana bread or some other bread to tide you over and go to some other place that's worth your time and money.

    Stopped by for a casual quick lunch. I wasn't feeling very hungry so just got a caesar chicken salad from their grab-and-go fridge area. For $12, not a bad pre-made salad. While I wouldn't say the food is great, it works if you don't have other options. I will say that after looking at their sandwiches and focaccia pizza, I opted for a salad as the bread frankly doesn't good that appetizing. There are better spots to grab food and food trucks around during the day so I wouldn't recommend coming here if you are able to go elsewhere.

    Love this cafe! Best in Presidio, my kid's favorite - coffee is nice, gifts as well. The viewpoint to Golden gate is nice

    I had already read the reviews for this spot, so I kind of knew not to expect a lot. Ordering is a bit chaotic with several people trying to help you and not everyone getting your order right As mentioned in other reviews, the prices seem too high for what you get. My grandkids found the pizza ok, however I had the Caprese Piadini and was disappointed. The tomatoes were not ripe, and the dough was ultra thin. I was not able to finish it. The lavender latte was decent. The location and the outdoor seating is the highlight. I'd say if you' have children spending time at the Presidio top tunnels this is the most convenient place to eat.

    Such a beautiful sunny day. Needed to get my steps in and went to visit the Presidio walk over the tunnel. Il Parco Wine and Iced Coffee Service was so quick and they had so much baked goods to enjoy. In addition to paste and pizza. The employees was so friendly. Setup of the place was so cute and outside seating too. A must visit.

The decorations and ambiance are exactly as I would expect, with a great hall ceiling in the dining area, and moving pictures. I especially loved the flooring looking like lava cracking through because at some point a staging flys overhead and sprays fire. Ambiance is a 5/5. We were seated immediately, waters brought out, and the waitress ready to serve us. She was very helpful and even offered to charge my phone so I could finish taking pictures and going live on social media. My cup was never empty, and everyone was quick with any questions we asked. Service was almost perfect 4.7/5. My cousin and I ordered the Love Potion, Unicorn blood, golden arancini, dragons breath, and a couple of wands . The wands were so much fun, though it feels like they're worth closer to $10 than $20, it still is worth enhancing your experience by getting one. The love potion was so sweet and strong 4.6/5. The unicorn blood was not what I expected, but it was shimmery and it grew on me, but still a 3.5/5. The Golden Snitches were very very rich, but perfect if you're drinking a lot and eating a little, very crispy outside and cheesy inside, and the tomato sauce was salty and savory 4.2/5. The dragons breath is super fun because you get a little nitrogen to freeze it and make it smoke. Regular flavor but effect was cool 3.5/5. Overall, I rate wizards and wands 4.2/5! Definitely check it out!!

    Legendary but too Busy…read more Stepping through the doors of Balboa Cafe in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood feels like unlocking a timeless vault of classic California society and old-school saloon culture. Established in 1913 (though a superstitious original owner famously installed a plaque reading 1914 to escape the bad luck of the number 13), this legendary watering hole effortlessly bridges the gap between San Francisco's rich history and its bustling modern energy. With its striking dark wood paneling, crisp white tablecloths, and an iconic green neon sign cutting through the fog on Fillmore Street, the room practically whispers stories of the generations of local politicians, tech moguls, and high-society regulars who have rubbed elbows here. It's a beautifully multigenerational landmark where people-watching is a sport, the service is fast and familial, and the kitchen still masterfully turns out their cult-classic Balboa Burger served on a fresh baguette. Yet, as spectacular as the vintage vibe and the burgers are, the true heartbeat of the modern Balboa experience is their legendary, world-famous Espresso Martini. Affectionately dubbed the "Espressotini," this cocktail is absolute royalty in the SF bar scene, with the bartenders famously churning out upwards of 1,000 martinis a day to tables ordering them a dozen at a time. Shaken to an incredibly velvety, frothy perfection using vanilla vodka, Kahlúa, and a proprietary nitro cold brew blend, it pours with a signature dense cream foam that mimics a perfect pint of Guinness. Deceptively smooth and balanced without being overly sweet, it acts as both a sophisticated pick-me-up and a social catalyst. Sitting at that historic dark wood bar, watching the towers of coupe glasses catch the dim ambient light while a lively crowd buzzes around you, drinking an Espressotini isn't just ordering a cocktail--it's taking part in a mandatory San Francisco ritual. Thanks

    I don't understand the appeal of Balboa Café. The food is mediocre and inconsistent, the prices are…read morehigh for what you get, and the service leaves a lot to be desired. It's also loud and crowded enough that it doesn't make for a particularly enjoyable meal. To me, the reputation seems to have more to do with the location, history, and social scene than the quality of the restaurant. There is another reason I wouldn't choose to spend my money there. Balboa Café has a long association with Gavin Newsom's PlumpJack group. Newsom's San Francisco business interests, including Balboa Café, changed hands when he became mayor, and his remaining PlumpJack interests were later placed in a blind trust when he became California governor. The business is still part of the PlumpJack operation and is run by his sister, Hilary Newsom. I know many people have strong opinions about Newsom and his time as governor, and I have my own. Given that connection, I personally don't want to support the business. That's my choice, but when the restaurant itself isn't giving me much reason to go in the first place, it's an easy decision. For me, Balboa Café is overpriced, overrated, and not worth the money or the association.

We should have known that this wasn't the most popping spot considering the holiday and how we pranced in without too much of a fight. It was rather empty when we were there. It felt like more of an empty room that just so happened to be a bar. Things just seemed spaced out awkwardly with furniture that didn't go well together. It was rather quiet too. I could not even tell you what music was playing because I could not even hear it. I do appreciate that the place was festively decorated though. It was perfectly on theme for St. Patrick's Day. The bartenders were super friendly here. My friends and I were trying to take a picture together and the bartender kindly snapped some shots of us (both horizontal and vertical pics...chef's kiss).

    Extremely disappointing and unacceptable experience…read more We walked into the bar, ordered our drinks, were served without any issue, and my brother-in-law even left a generous $30 tip. Immediately afterward, security approached us and kicked our entire group out, claiming my brother-in-law was "too intoxicated." This was only our second bar of the night, and nothing about the way the situation was handled made sense to us. If he was supposedly too intoxicated to be there, why were we served drinks in the first place? I immediately asked to speak with a manager because I wanted an explanation. I was told the manager was coming out, so I waited--and nobody ever came. No manager spoke with us, no one properly explained what had happened, and we were given no opportunity to have a reasonable conversation about the situation. Later, I approached another security guard trying to understand what was going on. He directed me to someone else, who told me they had been dealing with people drinking all day and were kicking people out because they had been having issues with other patrons. That made the experience even more frustrating. Whatever problems the establishment had with other customers earlier in the day had absolutely nothing to do with our group. We walked in, purchased drinks, tipped $30, and were then immediately removed based on an accusation that was never properly explained to us. I haven't been to the marina since 2021, and this experience is the reason why. The new staff members, security guards, and bar workers displayed a lack of professionalism and treated customers disrespectfully. The biggest issue wasn't simply being asked to leave--it was the complete lack of professionalism and communication. If there was a legitimate concern, someone could have explained it respectfully. Instead, we were served, took care of the staff with a generous tip, were immediately kicked out, and then left waiting for a manager who never bothered to come speak with us. Completely unacceptable and disrespectful way to treat paying customers. What should have been a fun night turned into an unnecessarily frustrating and horrible experience.
