    - Review of orafo's 2025 SF Restaurant Week Lunch Prix Fixe Menu - I had high hopes for this place, it being in the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel in the heart of FiDi. We noticed that service was being exceptionally slow from the check in to the ordering and food delivery. This was during Restaurant Week lunch too but it was mostly empty inside. It was a $35/pp lunch menu for 3 courses (starter, entree, dessert). Not to mention the Restaurant Week menu was wrong online and we had completely different choices when we showed up... 1. White Bean Tuscany Soup - 2/5 It was fine but the rosemary croutons were absolutely soggy, and the soup was lukewarm. 2. Fettuccine - 3/5 Nice homemade pasta texture but sauce was bland and didn't really like the choice of mixed veggies. 3. Affogato - 4.5/5 Simple. Creamy ice cream. Didn't come with any biscotti though as described I also ordered a side of truffle fries which came as a large serving actually! But we didn't receive it until the end of our meal along with the affogato. (They forgot it). Kind of disappointing that the fries were my favorite item we had.. We got them comped for the late arrival but the service was so slow we had lunch for over an hour and a half. You should go for the nice ambiance or order from the regular menu, I wouldn't recommend the prix fixe menu. **Note: They also charge for SF Health Mandate Tax.

    I'm usually hesitant about hotel restaurants, but Orafo was actually incredible. The service was great, a little slow at moments, but we still felt really well taken care of. The ambiance was beautiful with warm and moody decor. The food was delicious too. My salmon was cooked to perfection and served over a rich, creamy sauce, but the real standout was the truffle fries. Perfectly crispy, so good I could've easily finished a whole bowl on my own.

    This restaurant is inside the Four Seasons. We parked in the garage and took elevator to lobby. Restaurant was there. It was empty. Looked nice and clean. We ordered our food. My pasta had no flavor and my husband steak was ok. Very pricey for what we got. They don't validate your paring ticket even if you eat in their hotel.

    super jazzy as always, but there are definitely other four seasons restaurants that outclass this one

    Came here for a team breakfast. Good service and kind people. Uova in purgatorio - 3.5/5, sunny side up eggs on sausage and tomato, paired with bread. Sounded delicious, but was very salty for me. Bread is crunchy and tasty when dipped. Two eggs any style - looked good, can't mess it up.

    Ciopinno and steak
    Alicia T.

    Sorely disappointed. Went here for a Christmas dinner, skipped the pre fixe. Our waiter was friendly and great, some of the sofa seating has tears in it which -- isn't this supposed to be the Four Seasons? The place is overpriced for what you get. We ordered the truffle fries which were good, but skip the chili caesar salad-- way too much spice and it just put a damper on what could have been just a good Caesar, the choice of spinach for that salad to is, interesting. I ordered the ciopinno which arrived less than hot and my partner had the steak, which had tons of fat all over it and was just decent in taste. For it being $68 I would expect a lot better than that sad thing next to the sad burnt/charred (did I mention sad) vegetables next to it. Part of me feels like they could use smaller plates so that it looks better and smaller bowls so the ciopinno could stay warmer longer. After the food was served our waiter then kind of just disappeared. This restaurant was a big miss for me.

    Came here for a corporate lunch and the food took forever to come out. Our table got charged $36 for waters which wasn't made known to us before. I requested the sauce be separate from the salad but they still doused my salad in sauce. Incredibly overpriced and not very good

    A surprisingly great restaurant. I was a bit hesitant to dine here, but I am so glad I did. The ambience is cute and my waiter was so friendly and welcoming. I was dining alone and he was so kind to engage and we had a some great conversation. The food was also surprisingly delicious. I had the chicken and it was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The broccolini was refreshingly full of flavor. I paired it with a nice glass of wine and had a great time here. I would definitely go again.

    Meatball sandwich

    Hidden gem located in the four seasons hotel in the financial district. Cafe is located on the ground floor past the check in counter. It's usually not very busy, but it's a great spot for having quiet business lunches and drinks with friends or clients. Love the atmosphere and hope my recent business lunch deal is a successful one. FYI, the meatball sandwich was delicious!!!

    While staying at the Four Seasons, I dined here for dinner one night. I made reservations for a Saturday but there was hardly any diners so reservations were not needed. The food was good overall but not amazing. It was however, amazing for a hotel's restaurant. It's a great option if you want a nice meal but don't want to leave your hotel. My husband and I ordered the steak and a mushroom pasta dish. The sauce on the pasta was very rich but good. I wish there were more dessert options to choose from. We ordered a few cocktails that were made perfectly by the bartender. Our waiter was attentive and helpful. Overall, good dining experience.

    Delicious drinks handcrafted by Anton!
    Christine S.

    Amazing service, food, and drinks! We stayed at the hotel for our anniversary and decided to bring our extended family here for dinner. We became well acquainted with Anton, an outstanding staff member who served us as both waiter and bartender. His attentiveness and skill truly made the evening memorable. His self-created drinks, which were featured on the menu, were not only delicious but also incredibly creative. As an aside, I noticed that some reviews gave this restaurant a 4/5 rating despite not mentioning any true negatives. This seems arbitrary given the exceptional quality of the food and service. It's clear to me that this place offers an outstanding dining experience that merits more than just a 4-star rating. All that being said, I highly recommend!

We came for lunch on a Monday and ordered the Caesar salad, calamari, two pastas and the burrata salad, and every single dish was excellent. The pastas in particular were incredible, but even the appetizers and salads were thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. It was one of those meals where everything just worked, and there wasn't a single dish that I wouldn't happily order again. The restaurant itself is also really cute, with a warm and lively atmosphere and charming interior decor. They have outdoor seating as well, which is a nice option when the weather is good. Dinner can get especially busy on Friday nights and weekends, but the energy is part of what makes this place fun. They stay open until midnight, so later in the evening it really starts to feel like a bit of a scene. I would highly recommend Bottega for both lunch and dinner. Great food, great atmosphere and a menu where you can order pretty much anything with confidence. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again and again.

We enjoyed almost every dish, with the oysters being the only disappointment. The sauce used on the scallops was also a little sour, but not a major issue. One thing that could be improved was the pacing and explanation of the dishes. The food runners seemed rushed when describing each dish, and we often couldn't hear them clearly. Our biggest complaint, though, was how cold the restaurant was. The AC was blasting and made it pretty uncomfortable. Otherwise, we loved the food and can't wait to come back!

Excellent texture and taste for this gnocchi and the vodka sauce complemented it really well. I would definitely have this again.

Amelia recommended one pasta dish per person in the party, to share family style (which ended up working well for us, since we also got three appetizers, and finished the meal with a small amount of yummy leftovers for tomorrow) so that's what we did, along with the starters... We got the "big juicy meatballs with tomato and pancetta," which were incredible; the bread was delicious and certainly is not just a side to the amazing (definitely juicy) herbed tender meatballs. I'd definitely get this again, along with the grilled zucchini with worm salt and mint, which was so flavorful and tasty. We also got the smokey romano beans with fire roasted tomato, which was also really good but just keep in mind the emphasis on the smokey flavor! It wasn't my cup of tea but that's for sure a personal thing. For pastas, I'd rank them in this order: 1. our favorite was today's lasagna du jour, which was mushroom! So delicious, with a crispy cheesy crust, soft tender interior, and an almost caramelized tomato sauce accompanying. 2. Reginette with pork sugo (meat sauce) and spicy turnip greens was next, which had wonderful flavor with the tomato-based sauce and pieces of pork but if you like it slightly softer texture it might not be for you (same with the fusilli; the go-to preparation is aldente!). 3. Fusilli alla vodka with tomato, calabrian chili, cream, basil, and added garlic butter shrimps; this one's sauce felt a little underwhelming and more watery than creamy, and I'm just now realizing that although the menu said four garlic butter shrimp (an extra $7), we only got three. I think I'd come back for the lasagna and/or to buy the pasta from their expansive stock, cook it a bit longer, and serve it covered in a decadent creamy sauce.

My boyfriend and I sat at the bar and our bartender was very attentive without being overbearing and very knowledgeable--he gave thorough, detailed descriptions and recommendations on the wine list and the food menu (beyond what I would've expected). He even replaced my water and apologized after realizing he poured it to the brim, which really wasn't an issue but I appreciated his correction anyway. We ordered the side of wood grilled corn to start, I ordered the malfadine al limone pasta and my boyfriend ordered the spaghetti pomodoro. The wood grilled corn had a nice char to it and we enjoyed the accompanying sauce and cheese on top; however, based on the menu description I was expecting a little more of a Calabrian chili flavor / kick. The pomodoro was good but nothing to write home about, and the malfadine was a bit of a surprise / the highlight! I enjoyed the curly pasta texture and loved the lightness of the sauce paired with the salt flavor and complexity of the salmon roe on top. We love a good dessert but nothing caught our eye on the menu this time, as we don't prefer the soft, creamy desserts like panna cotta (as opposed to something more tangible like a cannoli). Lastly, we also had the following glasses of wine: Verdecchio, Verdeca, Montepulciano, and the Carignan Blend. As someone that loves crisp white wines with high acidity and minerality, I loved the Verdecchio. The Verdeca was refreshing but too light and not fruit forward enough for my preference. We both liked the Carignan, as we like deeper berry flavors, and the Montepulciano was OK (didn't love but didn't dislike). Would definitely love to come back and try some of the other wine varieties and menu options!

It's all rather unfortunate as other visits here went off without an issue. I warned a group of four about all this while I waited out front, and after talking to the front door folks, they left and thanked me for the advice. Please be careful if you visit here. . . .
