What a find!!!! Indigo in San Francisco's Marina District is a charming bistro with a great staff and delicious food. A great place to go with friends for a casual dinner or to celebrate a special occasion. All four of us had the smash burger -- juicy and full of flavor. I had mine with tasty grilled onions. The two couples split salads, which could have been a main course. The fries are doubled fried, so they are hot and crunchy. The staff was friendly without being obtrusive. They knew their product well. We will definitely be back to try some of Indigo's other dishes. read more

We stumbled into this place and very glad we did. Everything about this establishment, from the greeting at the desk to the end of the email was spectacular!! I would call the food mix of Indian but mostly American food. Everything we tasted was delivered as advertised, elegantly presented, and was delicious. We started out with the hummus and then we got a dish that was very similar to like a chicken satori and their Smashburger. My guest suggested that it was one of the best if not the best Smashburger he has tasted, and he was comparing it to a place that specializes in it down the street. 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! I'm not really sure how to described ambience but it was definitely more towards dimly lit and romantic. You could see several couple couples, enjoying a date. I saw nothing but smiles from other guests as well. Indigo is a gem that has yet to be found. Although I know there were guests there that had been there several times before. 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. read more

The owner of Indigo is passionate about this new restaurant and bar, and it shows. The design, lighting, ambiance, menu, cocktails, and ingredients are all thoughtful and high quality. Even the napkins are special. Burger (with added fried egg) and shoestring fries were excellent. The menu is far broader than this, but it's a winner and specialty. This place is a gem and well suited for adults to have a fancy dinner, casual dinner, date, work event, drinks, or anything else. read more

What happens when a mid-western American gal and an Indian guy walk into a bar?.... They buy it and create an absolutely fabulous bar and restaurant with an amazing good menu and wild cocktail concoctions! Plus we loved the wine and dessert. Service was amazing. You'll love it! read more

Ambiance is incredible here! Vibes were great and I talked to the owner for a while about her and her husbands story. Food was definitely Indian inspired which I loved, the steelhead Al pastor reminded me of tandoori salmon. Happy hour also looks killer! Will be back for that. The staff was super kind and friendly definitely a good date night and good use of the resy credit read more

Great restaurant! The cocktails were delicious (the Moscow Mule was fantastic and the alpaca drink was so unique) and the food was good (shoutout to the shrimp taco starter). The servers (one of whom was an owner) were very friendly and helped us celebrate a birthday complete with a scoop of gelato and a birthday candle. This would make for a good dinner date spot, very indigo (get it?) and moody. read more

Enjoyed a delicious dinner at Indigo this week. My party ordered the smash burger, marina mix, mint old fashioned and margarita and they were all delicious! The food was very flavorful and seasoned perfectly. Juicy burger and thin, crispy fries. The marina mix is a yummy beer battered salmon, shrimp and scallop combo. Also cooked and seasoned perfectly. Excellent service by Izzy! Ambiance is nice and cozy. Enjoyed meeting the owners Suzy and Kash. And learned that they opened the restaurant 10 months ago. Really hospitable and welcoming spot and I look forward to returning soon and trying the specialty cocktail, Rakshashi's Lure! read more

I really liked the atmosphere here. Dimly lit, good girls night/ date night/ elevated dinner energy. The wait time was a bit much with us supposed to be seated 50 mins earlier (on top of waiting 20 mins). With that being said, I really liked the fries. Perfect crisp and thinness ratio for me but the wings were just average. Drinks were fun and would come back for their happy hour deals! read more

A husband and wife team took over Boho in the Marina about 10 months ago. The owner she is running the restaurant as our host and waitress and her husband is the chef. He definitely made a mean burger, she said his pride and joy and it sure showed in each juicy delicious bites. They have brunch menu for Sat and Sun. Extensive cocktails menu for sure. The egg white omelet with mushrooms was also delightful. Very cute and cozy restaurant, can not beat the service and food so it's a win win to eat and chill. read more

I was excited to try this place but not too sure if I'd come back. There was a wait time even though we had a reservation on a Saturday. The ambiance is really nice inside and at the bar. The menu is quite small and there's not many vegetarian options. All the food is also very pricey. I got what the servers recommended. The cuisine is all over the place and all the options seem kinda random. I was expecting to try the gobi Manchurian as seen on the online menu but it wasn't available. I got the salad item to start and it was okay. It had cottage cheese, squash, apple slices etc. I also got the cheese board, fries, spiced rice, and creamy spinach. The consistency of the spinach was too watery in my opinion. The cheese board had various cheeses and it came with naan as the bread which didn't go well with the cheeses and honey. Both drinks I tried were not very good either and had odd flavors. The smoking s'mores dessert was cool but I didn't love the mousse part of it. The service was okay but a bit disorganized. read more

I went here for brunch on a Saturday with a friend. It was a really nice day and they have a few outdoor seating options. The service and ambience are both really nice! The drinks were all AMAZING! Our food was OK. My friend got the huevos rancheros and she liked it enough. I got the special omelette which could've used more cheese and seasoning, and the homemade fries were mid. The pancake was not my fave. I would return for the drinks! read more

Came in black friday, and was greeted by a calm space with cheery staff. We were given a table, and the host immediately changed their thoughts and gave us an even more illuminated table which we appreciated. We weren't even giving a stink or anything the host was just so kind and moved us. We felt like royalty dining in their home. Suzy kindly greeted us and took our order; they did have happy hour deals going on but she didn't push the drinks on us which again, we appreciated. We did the wings and a side of fries. I kid you not, these were the best fries you can find in the Marina. Perfectly crispy and thin. I will absolutely be back for wing Wednesday for dollar wings (my boyfriend is obsessed with the wings here.) Also seeing a review that the trout al pastor is a must so I will try next time I'm in. read more

Indigo - Fries - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

We walked in for dinner on a Saturday and it was packed. Our wait for a table of 2 was only a few minutes. Make reservations if possible! Parking around the area sucks so park in a lot if possible. The food was delicious and the cocktails sounded unique too. We didn't try any since we came from a bar prior, but they looked amazing when I seen other patrons order them. The steak, fish, and fries were all good! Just not a big fan of the tortilla the fish was on, but the toppings were good. The owner was so kind. He made sure to check up on all the guest and tell us about the story behind the restaurant. read more

Really cute spot with nice ambiance! I got the smash burger with fries which reminded me a lot of a shake shack burger--it was good and flavorful. My bf got the NY strip which he liked as well. Service was great and our waitress was very attentive. Seating was a bit tight, but personally it wasn't a big deal to us. read more

Stopped here for HH recently on a thursday afternoon. We started with 2 margaritas and shared some wings and fries. It was pretty quiet at first but it got progressively busier and louder as it got later and closer to dinner time. HH prices are really good! The margs were good, appreciated that they were not sweet and tasted like they use real lime juice. Refreshing and a nice start Tequila lime wings were a little bland but they brought 2 delicious home made sauces that saved them. 1 was a mango habanero and the other was a berry habanero. Both were delicious and had a nice kick to add to the wings. Their fries were awesome. Great texture, flavor and were served hot. The owner came by and introduced himself and made sure we enjoyed everything. He also mentioned that everything is homemade and made to order with fresh ingredients which definitely came across in the food and drinks. To finish I had their espresso martini which is made with a Bob's donut soaked rum. Really tasty, fun and a unique take on it! Will definitely be back for HH and to try more items. A nice addition to the neighborhood. read more

Really cool new spot in the marina for food and drinks! Ordered the strachiatella for starter and the polenta and mushrooms as the main. Strachiatella is the filling of burrata, and so it's creamy and gooey texture tasted great with the olive oil and fig balsamic. I liked the polenta and mushrooms as well, in particular the chanterelles. Even if you don't have food, the drinks here are a standout. One of the coolest drinks on their menu is their version of an espresso martini - they soak donuts from Bob's donuts in their rum so it absorbs some of the chocolatey donut flavor and it really comes through in the drink which is a nice twist on the usual espresso martini. The night of the Yokai is a nice fruity drink with a fun presentation. The popping boba added a nice texture to the drink and went great with the overall fruity flavor without being excessively sweet. read more

We booked a table at indigo for the NYE celebration. The service was amazing - our super active and messy toddler was treated so warm and with understanding! Appeared that it's a relatively new family business and the owners put all their heart in making this place a local gem. The food was not bad, especially the burger. But the polenta was too liquid and the portion was small. We really liked the NY decorations and overall ambience of the place. We might come again to try other menu options. read more

We had the smash burger, fries and shrimp tacos. All were delish. The owners and the whole crew were warm and friendly.

We had a fantastic meal and our server was excellent. There were a few hiccups that really detracted from our experience. We had a reservation, but were seated 10 minutes late at a makeshift table you expect when they're overbooked. Our server was amazing. She was insightful, humorous, and very attentive. Dinner itself was delicious, and we were very impressed with the food. After we closed our bill, the owner stopped by our table and we had a nice chat about our experience and the restaurant. During our exchange, he noted the drinks we were having. Five minutes later, he returned and told us that our drinks were not on our bill (which we had already paid), and we were asked to wait so they could bring us a second bill for the drinks. So, after we closed our tab and were ready to leave, we waited another 15 minutes for a second bill with the items that the restaurant missed. The drinks in question were ordered at the bar while waiting for our table, but we were seated before they were ready, and the drinks were brought to our table. At this price point, a faster ring-up or comping the missed item would've made it feel handled. The food was great, but the clunky and awkward moments when arriving and leaving are unfortunately the standouts from our dining experience. read more

Indigo - pita, veggies, and hummus - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Super cute place in a great location near bars and shops. Metered street parking but there is free street parking just 2 blocks away. Very kid friendly (small space though so may not be stroller friendly but could park it up front) and thoughtful details throughout. Bathroom had changing table for babies, hooks for purses/coats, and a table for larger items. Utensils have a bend in them so they don't touch the table, thus reducing spread of germs/food. Just really nice details. Great happy hour (Tues - Friday 5-6:30 pm) that includes food and drink. Our food was so great - the chicken wings, burger and the trout al pastor - and drinks yummy. Just a delightful experience, I wish I lived closer to be able to keep going back and trying out more on their menu! Friendly and thorough service - the owners are very hands on and have done great work for this restaurant. read more

Restaurant looks very cool. The workers all seem very nice. However, I ordered my Smashburger to go when I got there. It wasn't ready yet. I knew immediately they were gonna rush it and I asked the guy to make sure it was cooked well done. He proceeded to tell me that it was a Smashburger and of course it would be cooked all the way through when I got home with my burger. It was rare. Super frustrating. What's more frustrating they did not have the ability on their website to specify well done. So, wasted meal for me. I'm sure it was good. If you like rare meat, I'm giving four stars since lots of the other parts of the restaurant looked nice and again their people were nice. Except for the male greeter who thought he knew better than to double check with the Chef for me. read more

Indigo - Chefs version of well done. Comes out rare. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

My friends and I came here for a TGIF dinner and had a very mixed dining experience. We shared the ocean's bounty, chicken wings, arugula and pear salad, Kashmiri chicken skewers, steelhead trout al pastor, chocolate cheesecake and the gelato. The ocean's bounty was oysters with too much stuff (hamachi, ahi tuna, spicy tuna, uni sauce and spring onion) on top. It's really hard to taste all of the flavors and it ended up being a relatively incoherent taste. The chicken wings and Kashmiri chicken skewers were bland and definitely needed more seasoning. The arugula and pear salad was good and the steelhead trout al pastor was excellent. Both desserts (cheesecake and gelato) were also really good. Service was OK at first but got slow as the evening went on. The restaurant is really loud and it's hard to keep a conversation going. The price is good - this was around $65 per person. read more

The hosts are amazing, making sure that we were comfortable and sharing the story behind this delicious restaurant. The service and the attention we got is of a first class restaurant. The Trout al Pastor is delicious, I must have. Also the Stracciatella, spicy and sweet at the same time. read more

Indigo - Affogato - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Wow so good! We had a great experience and got to chatting with one of the owners, so lovely and we learned this is a relatively new venture so i am thrilled to leave such a glowing review: The drinks- my margarita was perfect (and I'm picky) it tasted exactly as I would have made it at home myself, not overly sweet or artificial. Strong! My partner got the seasonal pumpkin drink that was DELICIOUS and again, deceptively strong so be warned that if you're a lightweight like me you might not get to try more than 1 drink in 1 visit. The food- delicious! After our excellent cocktails I got a little worried that the food would be underwhelming and I was so wrong. My favorite was the oyster sashimi creation, who knew that oysters would be even better with little bits of sashimi thrown in? Not me but now I'm obsessed. The berry spinach salad also rocked, nothing that creative but it was well executed and we basically licked the bowl. The steak had an excellent rub on it, though I was starting to slow down at this point. Comes with homemade chimichurri which I don't personally care for but my partner enjoyed. The corn though. The corn was sort of like deconstructed elote and it was SO GOOD I did eat more than my half share. Partner fortunately liked the fries better so we made a trade. Inside is an upscale modern ambiance. We came early and didn't need a reservation but as we left around 6:30 it was filling up, even on a weeknight. We will definitely be back, the owner said the menu will have some seasonal variation and I must have the oysters and corn again. read more

I came here for dinner with friends and this is a new neighborhood gem. The Santa Muerte cocktail with jalapeño-infused mezcal had a real kick and unique flavor profile. I got the Trout al pastor on a squid ink tortilla - the fish was cooked perfectly and the pineapple salsa gave it a nice contrast. My friend ordered the Smashburger which she thought was excellent and we shared a small chocolate cheesecake at the end - probably worth ordering one for each person if you're still hungry after main dishes. All of their cocktails are inspired by different regions of the world and the menu is an eclectic mix of new American, Italian, and Mexican inspired dishes. The owners greeted us and were quite friendly; the waitstaff was knowledgeable and charming. I liked the smaller, intimate interior. We called in advance for a party of 6 and I highly recommend a reservation for larger groups given the layout. Would definitely come back for drinks or dinner. read more

New spot. Super cute vibes esp their back pario area. Super friendly owner and staff - they went above and beyond to make us feel warm in their patio. Amazing cocktails representing different countries! And bob's donut (espresso martini but could literally taste a hint of donut) was interesting. We liked their shrimp tacos and burgers! Highly recommend. read more

Strap in because this one's going to take a sec. It might be hard for me to appropriately express how much in love with Indigo I am. But I'll try - here goes: My wife and I drive all day into the city and we are beat and she has a headache and we're starving to death. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, not to death. But we need food STAT. I go to my handy dandy Yelp and the first place I call - they're slammed and not very friendly and they don't have room for us for an hour and a half. No, that's not happening. The next place I call is Indigo. The man who picks up the phone is so sweet and tells me he has room for two and I immediately tell him that I'm in love with him. Then he tells me he'll be waiting to give us our seat because we're now in love. Adorable. It's literally across the street from our hotel. We walk in - it is lit perfectly. The bar is gorgeous and this beautiful, very pregnant woman who is also our server who, btw, we find out later is also the owner with her husband who happens to be the man I just fell in love with on the phone. I know! She invites us to pick any two top we want - we find one nestled against the wall. The chairs are ridiculously comfortable - also they're a light brownish yellowish and the cloth napkins are a chocolate brown and the different shades of brown with the indigo accents and the low lighting make it so comfy. The atmosphere is so appealing, which was exactly what we needed after sitting in San Francisco traffic for too, too long. We were immediately taken care of, orders taken, drinks delivered lightening fast - AND our still hot food came so fast - also I need to add that she brought the fries first. Who does that? That's ridiculous. She knew we had gotten off the road and we're starving and totally took care of us. We had fries, Caesar salads and smashburgers and everything was delicious. Perfection. The flavors - I can't even describe how flavorful everything was. The husband - remember the one I'm in love with? He's Indian and she's from Ohio - whatever that is - American? Hahaha... There's this perfect fusion between Indian and American gourmet fine dining yet casual yum. I know - I'm not a restaurant reviewer - bear with me. Come to find out that they've only owned the place for a year as I'm writing this. In this day and age of AI and conglomerates - I can't express how good it feels to be in a locally and family-owned restaurant. And more than that - later when we spoke with the husband, he told us just about the lengths he went to to find the bread and that the bread is from a baker down the street and it's brought to the restaurant every day at 5:00 p.m. Locally sourced. It's hard to express how happy this makes me. Overarching - everything was perfect. The atmosphere, the ambience, the service, the food, the comfort, the casual nature, with this family feel that is so rare nowadays. It was a heartwarming experience and that's why I'm writing this. Because I feel like this is rare and we need to support local businesses just like Indigo. Delicious food, family owned, food with flavors not blandness. Not something frozen or from a box. But something from local artisans. It's not just a restaurant, it's an experience. I can't recommend enough. PS. And it wasn't a zillion dollars. Quite affordable (which is surprising in SF) and we were never rushed out and were able to really relax. read more

Service, food, ambiance was awesome. Everything we had from drinks to food was awesome. The Samana margarita was so delicious. The cinnamon in the margarita was unreal, and my smashburger to top it off was amazing. The bun comes in fresh everyday at 5pm. read more

Came in for a little Happy Hour. Food was slightly above average. Ordered the tequila lime chicken wings and the "garlic prawns". The garlic prawns came out and was disappointed with the portion , it was 4 small shrimp. The wings were tasty and the hot sauce that came with it was even better . The real low-light of the experience was the bartender. It was like communicating with a brick wall. Mmm if you hate your job that much find another career... the busser / runner, gentleman was on point. Maybe would come back go try the burger .... read more

Very cool and trendy new neighborhood spot. Service here was great, the staff being very friendly and attentive. We tried some drinks from their cocktail menu, and I would say they are good if you like creative drinks on the sweet and sour side. My boyfriend loved the smashburger, and I enjoyed the polenta and mushrooms, but not enough for me to re-visit specifically for- my one thought is that the menu is limited on the vegetarian options. But overall we had a nice time! read more

Across the board, Indigo delivered on a welcoming ambiance, exquisite cocktails, bold flavors, and exceptional service! We noticed Indigo from afar walking through the Marina, and were immediately attracted to the vibe. Located centrally in the Marina, Indigo is a breath of fresh air compared to the usual Marina joint. It reminds of a cozy London restaurant with dark tones, but just enough lighting to not be overwhelming. The cocktail menu has perhaps some of the broadest array of flavors, international influence, and composition you'll find without the associated stuffy drinking experience. We really appreciated the mini-game with the owner (who provided a personal touch with all service!!) guessing the country of influence for the cocktails we ordered (Japan, Portugal, Netherland, and Mexico)! The menu is broad, marrying the California local and seasonal mentality with an expansive menu choice of flavors and dishes similar to the cocktail list. We had flavors and dishes drawing on Coastal California, Classic American, and Mexican cuisine. Elevated trout al pastor and the wagyu smash-burgers are must haves! All topped off by exceptional service from everyone that night, great conversation with Kash the owner, and true care and attention from the whole staff. Slightly pricey, but can't wait to visit again to keep working through the menu, as they plan to change it seasonally, and we know the team will keep coming up with great new ideas! read more
