    5/31/26 update: they have a duck prosciutto on the menu right now that's one of my fav dishes. The salty fat duck prosciutto pairs perfectly with the blackberry vinaigrette on a well oiled toast. YUM!! -- [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nopa is perfect. Anyone who says otherwise? A liar! (Okay, maybe not, but seriously, this place is that good.)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you can't snag a reservation, don't worry. Try your luck at the bar or the communal table. The vibe is effortlessly charming, making it perfect for date night or even just treating yourself.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've never had a single bad dish here. Quite the opposite...so many dishes have completely floored me. The cheeseburger? Always amazing. The pork chop? Pure magic. I almost cried eating the tagliatelle. And the smoked trout latkes? I don't even like smoked fish, but those latkes? Life-changing. Honestly, I could sit here and name every dish on the menu because they're all worth raving about. I keep coming back to Nopa, and every time, it reminds me why it's one of the best restaurants in SF.

    I've had Nopa on my list of SF restaurants to try for a while now and was excited to come for a random Monday dinner. We ordered family style between 4 people and share the duck rillette, stracciatella with apricots and pecans, mushroom flatbread, fried chicken, and roasted cauliflower. The highlight of the night were the duck rillette, served with crusty thick sourdough bread, a delicious kumquat marmalade and fresh mulberries. It's mulberry season right now and I had just gone mulberry picking the past weekend so it was fun to see them on the plate. I also enjoyed the fried chicken with chili honey which was great for sharing and a large portion! I didn't get much Moroccan spices in the chicken but it was battered and fried well. The mushroom flatbread did fall flat for us as it was pretty dry and needed something else to give it more flavor. I also got the seven sisters cocktail with tequila, vermouth and green chartreuse which was great and a good choice if you want something more spirit-forward. Overall worth a visit for classic Californian cuisine. They specialize in farm to table which you can really see with the seasonal, ever-changing menu.

    Salmon crudo - 5/5 this dish was so delicious. It was a perfect medley of flavors Bread and butter - 3/5 was good but I'm not sure if it's truly worth the price Duck mousse with strawberry jam - 3/5 duck mousse doesn't have a strong flavor, strawberry jam was overpowering Burger - 2/5 the patty when pressed had juice flowing down but then was dry?? I strongly desired a salad. The fries also like some other reviews did give in n out vibes -- just potato. The waitress was nice. The main problem though is that they really rushed me to finish the appetizer because the main was coming out. 3 people tried to take away the dishes I was still eating to serve the main. I really unappreciated being rushed.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super cute spot to eat for dinner with an indoor (super spacious!) With an upstairs even! And outdoor seating as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Made a reservation through Open Table and was really grateful that even though we had to add one more to our reservation a bit late, they were able to accommodate us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was so surprised to see the place getting full by 5:30pm and within minutes, the place was packed![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibes were lively, but tame, and is a great spot for a date or a meet up with a group of friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] On the menu - you'll want to try the beans. Apparently while the menu changes daily based on what is freshly purchased and available (so cool!!!), the beans have remained a staple! Definitely try! I appreciated the non-alcoholic spirit options and the desserts too! Word to the wise tho - desserts are difficult to share, mostly because you're going to need to dip your spoon in a few times. It's not easily divisible, if you will! The desserts were okay. A bit pricey for what we got, but if you want a sweet treat, it's a good way to go!

    After hearing so much about the burgers at Nopa, I finally got around to trying the out, and I gotta say I was a bit disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the burgers are solid. But for $30, I would have expected a more flavorful party, or a more interesting sauce... Really anything that would have made the dish more memorable. The fried chicken was also good but not mind blowingly amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was great though, as was the upscale ambience with its demure hipster vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Grilled Broccoli, Nopa Cheeseburger, Pork Chop (w/ side salad instead of fries)

    Nopa needs no introduction at this point and fully lives up to its reputation as a true San Francisco institution. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The room is always bustling with a great energy, and I really appreciate that they deliberately hold some spots, whether at the bar or at the communal table, for walk ins so it still feels accessible even without a reservation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff are consistently super friendly, and their food and beverage menu is pound for pound one of the best in the city. Sharing is absolutely the way to do Nopa. Splitting plates with a group lets you build that perfect bite from a little bit of everything, and there are several dishes I consider must orders. The Bread and Butter is a staple, especially with Josey Baker bread (IYKYK). The duck liver mousse is another favorite, always incredibly creamy and rich, with accoutrements that change seasonally but always pair beautifully with their charred, crusty bread and whatever compote is in season (was huckleberry on my most recent visit!). Do not sleep on the grilled broccoli either. It sounds deceptively simple, but the combination of lemon, anchovy, and breadcrumbs makes it ridiculously addicting and one of those plates you find yourself going back to over and over in between bites. And of course, their much acclaimed cheeseburger more than deserves the hype, standing easily among the very best burgers in the city with its perfect balance of a hefty but juicy patty, melty cheese (Gruyere FTW!), a beautifully toasted bun and a full spread of toppings like their pickled onions as well as their horseradish sauce that ties everything together. For larger plates, it depends a bit on group size and how hungry everyone is, but my go-to's include the pork chop and Yaya's Fried Chicken. The pork chop is hearty and cooked perfectly so it is still super juicy, with deeply flavorful braised greens and a fruit mostarda-like accompaniment that really makes the whole dish sing. Yaya's Fried Chicken is brined and fried to perfection, with a shatteringly crisp crust, super moist meat, and Moroccan spices in the batter that really amp up the flavors overall. All in all, Nopa is one of the absolute best the city has to offer and a must visit for both tourists and locals alike. It is the kind of place that makes you excited to eat out in San Francisco and one I will keep recommending over and over.

    It was nice to come here to catch up with friends. The food was pretty good, some dishes better than others. The staff is nice. They have a coat/ bag check. The space is airy and inviting. The warm olives were very good. They melted in my mouth and the bread was delicious. The steak was too chewy and spicy for me. The lettuces salad was also very good, crunchy lettuce and I liked the dressing. My favorite dessert was the chocolate malt ice cream, so unique and actually tastes malted! The cookies were good too and I'm glad we got both so can eat them together. Overall nice place, a little pricey but would come back again for a special occasion

    Fish appetizer

    If you're looking for protein but make it fancy, this is the place to be. This is a lively spot on Divisadero, even on Monday evenings the restaurant is full of people enjoying a delicious meal. We tried a handful of items, and they were all spectacular but the only twist is the menu changes everyday so it will keep you wanting more. Be sure to ask your server for some advice because they know what's best. The portions are quite large, try to leave room for dessert as the pastry chef is showing off all her skills. The only feedback I have is the restaurant is incredibly loud. Listening to tech bros while having a romantic dinner is not always the mood.

    Steak with onion rings

    Gosh I really wanted to live this place. A better mocktail than the two boozy drinks my friends ordered. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And a very cozy, social atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Every other table felt like they were in a picture having a lovely evening as friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was more of a miss. The biggest let down was the steak which came out cold. They offered to reheat it or get us something else on the menu. The fried chicken we got to replace it was good but I wouldn't order fried chicken here again. I want to try again! For being a veggie-forward menu, there is still promise just not tonight.

    We had such a great dinner at Nopa on Divisadero. The food was full of flavor, everything tasted fresh, thoughtful, and beautifully prepared. I ordered the huckleberry mocktail and loved it it was balanced and really refreshing. My friend tried the carrot mocktail, but unfortunately she didn't enjoy it and only took a sip or two. The service was extremely attentive. Someone was consistently stopping by to check in on us and refill our water, and we felt very cared for the entire time. The space itself is cozy and comfortable, whether you're sitting indoors or outdoors it has that warm, inviting neighborhood feel. We were so stuffed by the end that we couldn't even look at a dessert menu! Overall, such a wonderful experience and definitely worth coming back.

    What an amazing experience for my birthday. My friend made dinner reservations for us here, and it ended up being an absolute delight from start to finish. I enjoyed every second and every bite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance strikes the perfect balance of warm, fun, and luxurious all at once.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A wine concierge came to our table to help us indecisive folks choose a bottle, and we ended up trying something none of us had ever had before--orange wine. From there, we ordered the bread and butter and the lettuces. Since there were three of us, they kindly adjusted the bread order so everyone got their own portion. For our mains, we each ordered something different so we could share, and wow... everything was incredible. Their menu rotates daily and is printed fresh, plus they offer additional off menu specials. That night's special was a roasted half chicken--perfectly seasoned and so flavorful. We also ordered the pork chop and the steak. The portions were generous, and every bite was worth savoring. The steak was beautifully tender and savory, and the pork chop was the thickest I've ever seen, cooked to absolute perfection. Nothing disappointed. For dessert, we shared the crème brûlée topped with guava jellies and fresh fruit--a fantastic finish. They even surprised me with a birthday candle on a scoop of ice cream, so I got to make a birthday wish. It was such a thoughtful touch. What an unforgettable dinner. I highly recommend coming here and experiencing this restaurant for yourself.

    dungeness crab toast
    Aileen L.

    Our group of 3 showed up for our reservation at 5:45pm on a Saturday, and were promptly seated. The space is pretty dimly lit and intimate, and most of the seating seemed pretty comfortable and spacious, though our table was located in a a corner that was a little more cramped. Service was friendly and checked in frequently to see if we needed anything new and pour us water. We got the dungeness crab, pork belly, brocolli, and flatbread to share - everything was good but not too special or unique, and strangely the presentation seemed to be aiming for upscale but came out looking more haphazard, and the crab did have some tiny bits of shell mixed inside. For the price, the serving sizes seemed smaller than you would expect. The Maize Runner cocktail I got however, was really tasty (and also strong), but the combination of the pear, corn and sesame was really unique and fun. Overall, Nopa has a nice ambiance, and on paper, really interesting dishes - though the execution seemed to miss the mark for us. I typically prefer sharing multiple small dishes over getting a large dish each, but looking at the other reviews, it seems maybe the large dishes might be more promising. Perhaps I'll give it another try and avoid the small plates next time if I happen to be invited to Nopa again.

    Pork chop
    Michelle K.

    Absolutely a 5 star experience! The food was amazing, we had the farro risotto, some type of tortellini, and the pork chop, along with cocktails b The farro risotto was full of squash and delicious. Highly recommend that and this was the best pork chop I've had in my life. The cocktails were yummy , the service was fast also. The vibes in there immaculate - must visit

    If I have a 9:30 reservation on a Friday, will the dinner feel rushed?

    Hello William, Thank you for choosing to dine with us on Friday. I assure you your experience at Nopa will not feel rushed. Have a great dinner and happy holidays,… 

    Will I be too formal/overdressed in a mint sleeve button down shirt? Is it that casual? I'm scared people will judge me for that?

    Definitely not. No one will care what you're wearing, especially a button down shirt. Half the people there are corporate folks wearing button downs, the other half are people like me going in with a t-shirt.

    Do they still do brunch?

    No unfortunately

    Is the outdoor seating super cold in December?

    Not at all

    Any low sodium options for someone with high blood pressure?

    Not that I saw on the menu. It was your typical Hunan style but it was fantastic and the staff was on point.

    Do they still do takeout?

    I don't know for certain however I suspect they would. Call them!

    How's parking dinner time mid-week?

    You will have to get lucky on the street. Really lucky, parking is scarce.

    Do they still have walk-in/communal seating?

    They have walk-in. Not sure about communal.

    Are there many vegan options here? Menu doesn't really look to have vegan options, but could they make something delish and fairly priced for vegans?

    Indeed, they would happily accommodate your request.

    Are they still serving the porchetta? And if so, what day of the week do they serve it?

    Do they have outdoor dining or takeout only?

    They have outdoor dining and take reservations up to 2 weeks in advance for reservations. You can… 

    Do they have a happy hour?

    There's a bar snack menu at the bar from 5-6pm but no happy hour in the traditional sense.

    Is this a gluten-free friendly restaurant, and are there a lot of options? Tryna look out for friends who are gluten sensitive—it sucks when you go to a coveted place and all they can have is "GF" salad!

    Yes! I think it is a very friendly place for all allergies.

    If I arrive at 5pm without a reservation , what is a typical wait time?

    I didn't have to wait. But I also went on a Thursday.

The escape room is Alice In Wonderland themed and includes three drinks as part of the experience. Arrived on time for our reservation but were held in a waiting room for about 30 min before we could start. Didn't seem like anyone else was doing the escape room but it was also the week of their biz anniversary so maybe they were just super busy. Phoenix led our escape room and was such a delight. Friendly, great banter, helpful throughout the escape. The escape game is split across multiple rooms with a good diversity of puzzles. Don't want to spoil too much here but they were good challenges. Drinks we incorporated throughout and presented like test tubes that were drinkable in a gulp, kind of like a cocktail shot. Personally, I found the first two drinks to be a bit too sweet, but I liked the third, which was coconut forward. The price is definitely a bit more costly. It was $100/person for a party of five. I understand that it was an escape room + the staff + the cocktails. If you max out the party size, it's about $85-ish per person which I think is pretty solid. Still very unique and fun and glad I got to try it

Delicious med-soft crostini with luscious berries and sweet honey. I didn't care my hands got sticky as it was soooo good! Great experience, I would be weary if the peppers as I'm a bit spice-intolerant but everything else was spot-on.

The vibe was incredible, a live salsa band, everyone dancing, people having a good time... we definitely came on the perfect night! The band played until around 8 PM, which worked out perfectly because our dinner reservation was at 8:15. After dancing and enjoying the music, we got to watch one of the most beautiful sunsets I've seen from this rooftop. Such a beautiful way to start the evening. And the food made the experience even better! The menu is mostly small bites, so we ordered several dishes to share. We started with the classic ceviche, which was fresh, citrusy, and so good with the chips. We also had the al pastor tacos with pineapple, flavorful and a classic combination that worked perfectly. But the arepitas... OMG! Definitely my favorite. They come with three little arepas filled with shredded beef, and they were SO good. Between all the dishes, it was actually plenty of food for two people, and we left very satisfied. For drinks, we tried the guava and passion fruit mocktails, and both were refreshing and had really nice flavor. I've been to Cavana before, and I already thought it was a great place to stop for drinks or food before a concert at Chase Center or a Giants game. But this Sunday experience made me love it even more. It's also such a nice spot for a date night or just hanging out with friends. I don't know what the rest of their weekly schedule looks like, but this particular Sunday was a 10/10, salsa, great food, rooftop views, and a beautiful San Francisco sunset.

    Been wanting to check out this rooftop bar. This place is so cute. Located at the luma hotel…read more There's a separate elevator you can take downstairs. They have bite size food and drinks. You can walk in or make reservations. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Love the ambiance. The drinks are cute and good. But it's not strong at all. There's a photobooth which is cool. Parking is really hard to find. Unless you're willing to walk a few blocks. This bar is close to the stadium so lots of people pregame here before baseball games.

    I went to the Laureate a couple times last week. It happened to be right next-door to University…read morehigh school in San Francisco where I was watching Nor Cal basketball. I went in before the game the place was somewhat Vibing they had a balcony, fireplace, different seating areas and a bar, and they serve food. It wasn't that busy so the bartender came right over. I think his name was Dominic and he got me an IPA. The first time I went I also tried the deviled eggs (3) and they were cool. I have to say my buddies tried the chips and salsa so it came with some guac salsa and a bowl of chips. It was pretty good too. a , but after the game we came back in the place was still a vibe. It was cool and we are went back a few days later for another game with another buddy and sure enough it was cool this time I had a margarita and the expert Cadillac and he floated something like some triple sec in it and when we inquired about the Grand Marnier with him, he got a little attitude although the female bartender said that when she made Cadillac margaritas, she used grandma Marnie, so that was interesting but other than that, I would recommend a spot.

    Laureate Bar honestly surprised me! I came here after dinner for a nightcap and I really enjoyed…read moreit. It's lowkey but stylish and the drinks are actually affordable. My martini ($13) was really good, I especially loved the olives they use here. I like the lounge style seating, there were couches, nooks, and chairs arranged in a very comfortable fashion. There were a decent amount of people inside for a Thursday night, mostly small groups of friends or people on dates. It's a really nice atmosphere, very relaxed and inviting to hangout in. Everyone in the bar was weirdly attractive and dressed well for San Francisco and that added to the vibes for sure too lol. Friendly bartender and good cocktail menu, they also have a kitchen for small bites. I am definitely coming back!
