    The service was amazing by SEAN! He makes the best drinks, and they also look as beautiful as his bubbly personality! Perfect spot to come to after a giants game with the fans

    After a carby lunch in Union Square and a 10k step walk around the area, a college buddy and I decided to grab....more carbs at Perry's. This time around it would be beers. The Dodgers were in town and the joint was filled with a few fans. My animosity toward the team from SoCal has waned over the decades. Yet, I still wanted to yell at fans, "Take off that hat!!!!". Just kidding. On the upside it was a classy joint and the service was good. Plus, the beers were cold. What more could a couple of old, ugly guys ask for. A tip of the cap to our server who quickly cleaned up a spilled beer when my buddy accident knocked over his half-filled pint glass. Add bonus, the server refilled the glass free-of-charge. Was that heaven or what? I think I found a new watering hole in the City. Perry's made us merry. Now for the pic.

    Perry's was a nice respite by the embarcadero, but there's not much else around, and their prices reflect that. Simply, it underwhelmed. I got a Manhattan, and a cheese quesadilla, while The Wife had the Mac and cheese and grilled artichoke. All of it tasted fine. But for the money, we could have had something more substantial and enjoyable somewhere else, and should have looked around a bit more. It's a heck of a setting though.

    Perry's on the Embarcadero is a waterfront extension of the original Perry's, which opened in 1969 on Union Street in San Francisco. Founded by Perry Butler, it aimed to bring the feel of New York's East Side bars and grills to the city. The Embarcadero location at 155 Steuart Street opened in November 2008 and offers classic American dishes. The setting features exposed brick walls and views of the Bay Bridge. As I mentioned in my original review a few years ago, this location is conveniently situated near my workplace, making it an ideal option for lunch, after-work drinks with friends and colleagues, or special occasions like farewell parties for departing coworkers. On this occasion, we gathered to bid farewell to a retiring colleague. We were set up at a great spot in the corner on Steuart Street that accommodated about thirty of us. We enjoyed a beer or two along with some delicious small bites. The service was excellent, as it always is at Perry's, and we all had a wonderful time. If you're looking to catch a game, I recommend sitting at the bar. There are a couple of large TVs that provide a good viewing experience, and the bartenders are always attentive, ensuring great service. On nice days, you might prefer sitting outside on the Embarcadero side. Otherwise, the dining area has plenty of comfortable tables that can accommodate groups of two to four people, and larger groups can make reservations in advance. The food is consistently good and made with fresh ingredients. I have always enjoyed my lunches at the bar while watching live soccer matches on TV.

    Been here a few times. Most recently had lunch here with my former boss & colleagues. We enjoyed some standard American fare, great conversation and glad for an opportunity to catch up here. The food itself is kinda mid but the location is good. Right near the water. Also easy access to BART for folks living in the East Bay. Service was decent. Located on Steuart between Mission & Howard.

    This is an amazing place to relax and have a good time. Great food and drinks. I will definitely come back here.

    First time visiting. Lucky we found parting on the street. Made reservations but wasn't full. After we ordered our food it started getting packed. Service was great! Old fashioned was ok. Potato skins were great. Food was good. Our food took awhile it came out nice and hot. Restaurant was very nice. Spacious and nice bar. Warning bathroom is downstairs and I didn't see an elevator in case stairs are your enemy like me. I had to go down slowly. Check it out. Views are beautiful.

    I made reservations a couple months back for our first dinner in SF. Although it's a casual place, based on my research, it seemed like a popular neighborhood and tourist spot and I knew after driving up from OC we didn't want to wait to eat on a busy Friday evening. Upon arrival, it didn't seem too crowded. Busy but there were still plenty of open tables and spots at the bar. I initially requested patio seating but my husband and son didn't want to be outside as it was slightly balmy. We were seated close to the windows instead to enjoy the view of the Bay Bridge. We ordered the following: - French Onion Soup: very good. Nice and cheesy, could use maybe some more bread underneath but it was solid. - Buffalo Wings: these come sauced and were really tasty! Still had a nice crunch and bite to it even though they were very saucy. - Fish & Chips: great batter on the fish, which was very meaty and flaky. Standard fries, forgettable coleslaw (does anyone even eat the coleslaw?) - Chicken BLTA: husband said this was fine. Tastes as expected! - Kids' Chicken Tenders: not sure if these are the same tenders on the regular menu but my son ate it all up and had no complaints. - Apple Brown Betty: this was a cinnamon apple crumble pie w/ vanilla ice cream on top. Very rich and delicious! - Strawberry Cake: this was literally the same cake you can get at Ralph's/Safeway, etc. They must all get it from the same supplier! Still good but def not made in-house. Total for dinner (including 3 glasses of wine, a Shirley Temple, a coffee, and tax/tip) was $205. Service was very good. Our server came by often enough and was always pleasant. Note - we entered the restaurant through the Hotel Griffon on Steuart Street. I think there might be an entrance on the Embarcadero side, too.

    We are a party of 4 for a quick dinner meet up in San Francisco. Great food with reasonable prices. I ordered the delicious daily special of blackened shrimp over a bed of risotto. The spaghetti and meat balls were a very generous serving. The meatballs were soft and lots of spices so very flavorful. It included a big slice of garlic bread. The 2 sandwiches were prepared properly and arrived hot. This is a very reasonable priced restaurant and located directly across the street from ferry terminal. It was a 5 minute walk if you have to catch the ferry back. We came here on a Tuesday night and not too crowded. I did note there is outdoor seating and this would be a great place to have breakfast on a sunny day in SF.

    This place has been on my list for a while and I'm so happy I finally went! I entered through the back, so don't park on the Embarcadero if you want to enter through the front. The space reminds me of an old school diner and the staff were super friendly! We ordered a pastrami sandwich, salad, and the french onion soup which were all amazing, especially for the price. Don't skip out on the soup as it was probably the best I've had in the city.

    i love perrys.. this is my first time visiting the one on embacrado too.. loved the vibe there too jus like the one on union street... me and my husband always go to perrys for our annivesary and my birthday.. i love going here cuz of the potato skins.. cuz u cant really get those apps any where else.. thanks to our bartender last night.. she was really nice

    Raya K.

    Came here with some friends after an event late at night, and was glad to see Perry's was still open. Ordered a BLT and enjoyed it, and my friends shrimp linguine was good too

    French Onion Soup
    Amie A.

    The best French onion soup you are going to have in your entire life. Seriously. Go there. Get the soup. The burger is good too, rest of the food is very mediocre. But GET THE SOUP. This spot gets pretty rowdy during happy hour since it is surrounded by tech companies. Either way the service is always great at the bar.

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.

(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.
