Nice restaurant for a special occasion. I had a rib eye steak with a couple of appetizers. Enjoyed the dumplings and steak was tender and delicious. It was a busy night and service was still attentive and friendly. read more

Made a reservation for 6 people a week in advance for a belated holiday celebration. Got there early and walked the neighborhood while waiting for the rest of the party. We were fortunate to have the semi private area in the back for a larger party. The restaurant is quaint charming and cozy. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. We opted for ordering different items to share started with a few slices of their Douglas Fir Levain bread. It was the most amazing fresh bread, a must try, but remember they charge $4/slice!! Gulp! We started with dried porcini donuts, another must try, fluffy and flavorful, the sardine chips were amazing, and was a great start for our dinner. We tried the TAMAKI GOLD RISOTTO, and "CHAOSHAN POISON" VONGOLE, MANILA CLAMS. Followed by the black cod and 21 DAY DRY AGED RIBEYE. Everyone really enjoyed the pasta dishes, they were prepared a La Dante and perfectly seasoned. The cod was absolutely my favorite. The ribeye was tender and moist. Perfect selection os a sample menu created by our party. We ended the dinner with sorbet and a chocolate pomegranate cake. The dinner was about $100/pp which included 4 cocktails as well as a few bottles of sparkling water. A memorable evening in a warm atmosphere with great culinary experience. read more

Exceptional - from the food to the ambiance and to the service. We did the tasting menu and so glad we did. A great little taster portion of many of their popular items. read more

Finally got to try this place tonight. Everything we had: tuna toast, scallops, crab salad, beef dumplings, uni pasta and pork chop. Oh and dessert. Everything was really and truly delicious. It's a small spot, but coming with a small group is great so you can try more things. read more

Definitely recommend the family style group dinner option! We got to try so many different dishes and it was just amazing. Standouts for me were the gem lettuce salad, the snap peas, and the wonton (chili oil was so good I wanted to bottle it up and take it home!) Also highly recommend the milk wash drinks. The only minor nit is that the restaurant (or maybe the table we sat at) was very smoky, I realized when I came home my clothes smelled like they'd gone through a deep fryer. Had to wash them twice to get the smell out. read more

Let's start with the reason for the 3* - we waited 45min past our reservation time to get seated. Yes, they gave us some complimentary dishes for the wait, but I'll never understand why restaurants refuse to give lingering diners a friendly reminder to leave, and instead prefer to let the later reservation wait way past their reservation time. On the other hand, food was much stronger this time around. If not for the reservation snafu, would definitely be 4*. We got: Porcini donuts - These continue to be a highlight, fluffy and pairs perfectly with the raclette. Burrata, cheesy garlic bread, hot honey - Hard to go wrong with this combo, although this didn't wow the table. White asparagus, black sesame gribiche - This was excellent, the black sesame gribiche was nice. Tonnarelli, sea urchin "cacio e pepe", idiazabal - This was unmemorable, the sea urchin flavor wasn't particularly noticeable. Hand torn dumplings, tomato braised duck, 5 spice, kumquat - This was another hit, the sauce was quite good. Pork chop milanese, cauliflower-caper puree, meyer lemon - Pork was very tender and coating was crisp. Really solid. One of my favorites from the night. 21 day dry aged ribeye, braised red cabbage, horseradish crema, dill - This was solid as well. read more

Everything was awesome!! We ordered the doughnuts, bluefin tuna toast and squid ink pasta with bone marrow and it was all delicious. Accidentally ordered a bunch of carbs for this meal so it probs was a mistake on our end but it was great. The porcini doughnuts was great with the mushroom seasoning esp dipped in the sauce. The tuna toast was really fresh and tasty but really small portions and the pasta was amazing as well with lots of seafood but almost feel like the bone marrow didn't add too too much additional flavor. read more

Had such an amazing experience at Rich Table! My friend made a dinner reservation for 4 a month in advance to secure us a table. We got 4 appetizers - burrata, toro toast x2, beef dumplings, and the porcini donuts. The toro toast was my favorite! For the entrees, we got the sea urchin pasta, fried rice, and ribeye. The sea urchin pasta was so good! Fried rice had so much flavor and the texture was amazing. It had some crunch to it from some of the crispy rice pieces. The ribeye was cooked perfectly and paired so well with the chile lime corn. We ordered the honey cornbread with vanilla ice cream for dessert and it tasted so light and refreshing for a cornbread! Not dry at all. My friend also got a bday dessert treat! It was mint ice cream with a brownie chip - also so good. Overall loved the ambience of this restaurant - it felt like we were being hosted in someone's home bc of how home-y it felt in there! We also loved the open kitchen concept and watching the chefs do their thing! The servers were also amazing in helping us navigate their menu and choose what dishes to order. We finished everything and felt so satisfied at the end! Everything was so delicately made and you could really tell in each and every dish we got that it was made with high quality ingredients and intricacy from the chefs! I'd definitely recommend to friends! read more

Rich Table was a blurry experience fueled by a little too much drinking during the day. We were actually going to cancel the reservation, but after reading the fine print regarding cancellation fees, we decided to dig deep and make the trek back out. I don't mean to come off disrespectful, but we were all pretty exhausted (and not that hungry). To eat, we ordered a variety of items. I honestly can't recall the names of all the dishes we tried, but I thought the quality was certainly elevated. Service was impeccable throughout the night, and the decor and atmosphere were both on point. I would like to come back again to try more of their dishes in a better state of mind. read more

First time dining at Rich Table and would definitely come back! Our server was so nice and explained the menu very thoroughly. Highlight of the night was definitely the duck, Toro toast, and porcini donuts. I recommend coming here with with a group of 3-4 that way you guys can order more dishes and try some of everything! read more

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our anniversary and I we have mixed thoughts. We've heard so many raving reviews about Rich Table and as lovers of RT Rotisserie we had such high hopes. Overall there were hits and misses for both the food and service. First the food: We opted to do a la carte since their $110/pp tasting menu didn't have items that piqued our interest. Our waitress informed us that the menu was made for sharing so with that in mind we ordered: Blue fin tuna toast ($21): this was really delicious. I love the light fluffy milk bread and the fresh tuna. The yuzu kosho spread MADE this dish and complemented the flavors really well. This was a really good start and was on par with tuna toasts I've had at omakase. Chicken liver mousse ($14): the chicken liver mousse was pretty good but loose. I'm not sure if that's how they meant to serve it but I'm used to chicken liver mousse being a little bit more firm. I do love the kumquat and the sweet sesame crackers that it was paired with. They also brought supplemental crackers so we could finish the mousse which was nice. Grilled baby fava beans ($9): I've never had a whole stock of fava beans before but it was delicious! I loved the fresh bright flavors from the lemony chimichurri but it was a bit salty for my taste. Aged beef wonton ($5/each): this is where the food started to take a turn for us. The outrageous $5 price tag aside, this wonton felt more like a dumpling to us. When we think wontons we think of thinner skin. This wonton skin was super thick and probably would bode better as a pan fried dumpling. Additionally, I felt like this dish had no balance. It was slathered in chili crunch and oil with no relief of meaty flavor. My boyfriend compared it to eating a hamburger. We felt like a little ginger in the filling or green onions would've helped. Tonnarelli uni cacio e pepe ($27): the cacio e pepe was sooo delicious. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauce was creamy and sharp and had /some/ uni flavor. Really solid pasta and no complaints here! Trout al pastor tostada ($39): this dish....was our least favorite of the night. The al pastor sauce was so strong I couldn't appreciate or taste the beautiful trout that it smothered. We were also taken aback by the super neon green pepper sauce that surrounded the fish. The dish overall was a bit confusing to us and we would've loved it to have been served on the tostada or served with more tostadas. It just didn't seem like a dish that was shareable the way it was presented. Honey roasted duck confit ($36): this was the saving grace of our dinner. We loved the duck confit. The meat was tender, juicy, fall off the bone. Flavors were on point and the accoutrements like sour cherry were on point. Onto the service: The "hits": The woman doing front of house with fun earrings was so nice and kind. She was very welcoming, was on point with cleaning the crumbs off the table and was overall really friendly. Our waitress Dana was also very nice and kind! She made sure to grab our names, congratulate us on our occasion and checked up on us frequently. The "miss": there was a gentleman in a blue shirt and mask who acted as a food runner/busser and we felt like he was quite rude in comparison to our waitress and front of house. We both distinctly picked up on a couple interactions where he was very short and detracted from the experience. The first time was he was bringing us the fava beans and quite literally dropped the plate in front of us and said "fava beans" and left. It would've been nice to have a pleasant explanation or for him to clear the empty wonton plate from our table. Every time he came to deliver or take away food he just did not seem like he wanted to be there- he even tried to clear a plate from the table behind us without asking and they had to tell him "we're still working on it". The inconsistency in the food and service left us feeling a bit disappointed with our experience at Rich Table. Although we probably won't come back, we'll definitely still patronize RT Rotisserie for the delicious chicken and rice plates. read more

Dried Porcini Doughnuts Raclette $10 - The doughnuts were so fresh and fluffy like beignets. Their dried porcini powder is addicting. I think that is the mushroom based "umami powder" they sell in a bottle. I sprinkle it on rice, salads, popcorn at home! Aged beef dumplings + chili crunch $5 - Personally didn't have the dumpling but the chili crunch oil is so good! I started spreading this everywhere. Was sad when the waiter took the plate away when I wanted more chili oil lol. Watermelon, chamoy, cheddar popped sorghum $11 - I was looking forward to this one the most since it seemed so unique. It was good and refreshing and indeed the most unique and aesthetic dish. It's a good light dish so you can try more dishes! *Smashed cucumbers, pickled mushrooms, nectarine, sesame garlic yogurt $18 - Really good salad. The picked mushrooms are the wood ear variety so it kinda tasted like seaweed. I loved it. If I were to get something again, I'd get this. Sea urchin cacio e pepe $28 - This was highly anticipated but it was too salty. It would have been nicer if they left some uni intact on top. I've definitely seem other restaurants add extra uni at this price point. The noodles were perfectly chewy. *Dan Dan Bucatini, figs, peanut crunch $25 - Also very chewy chubby noodles again! Really good flavor, I personally liked this one a little better than the uni pasta. *Ratatouille lasagna, cashew gremolata, tomatoes, basil $34 - I've always wanted to try rataouille after the movie. Looks different than the movie and comes in a lasagna shape instead like the name. A really tasty healthy hearty dish with layers of roasted veggies. Aged duck confit, bbq, apples, cornbread $31 - Duck was too chewy and tough at some parts. Very hard to cut. Maybe I'm not a duck fan. But the cornbread was some good carbs. Seasonal Sorbet - Strawberry - Super soft and refreshing! It's very small. All for party of 4, we were stuffed! Left no crumbs. Definitely get reservations. Parking wasn't too bad in this part of hayes valley actually! read more

the good: - ofc this is RICH TABLE so the service is phenomenal. everyone serving us was so sweet at explaining everything and even gave us backstory about some of the dishes that we loved - the bluefin tuna toast is one of the best bites I've ever eaten. we liked it so much we ordered it again. we were told that this was a special menu item that people ADORED so they keep it around, and I can see why. buttery tuna on milk toast is realllllly something my god - the wontons were incredibly umami and the RT chili crunch is insanely delicious - sardine chip was wildly entertaining and loved it paired with the dip - the POG shaved ice dessert is really delicious, wish I could come back just to have it. not too sweet and packed with flavor. I think about it often. some stuff that was more "meh": - ok yeah the sea urchin "cacio e pepe" is good but I don't really get any uni flavor...maybe my palate is off but it was kind of giving slightly more buttery cacio e pepe vs. any briney uni flavor I would like to come back for the toast alone and order 3 for myself LOL read more

Came here on a weekday night with 2 other people. Really powerful flavors in all the dishes and left feelings satisfied. I will go into details about the dishes I tried. In order of best to worst. I judged them relatively based on what they were - ie how does their steak compare to a steak, their temaki compared to a temaki. Comparing apples to my idea of an apple, as opposed to an orange. Duck breast (5 star): The duck was so incredibly soft (sous vide??) skin was crispy, and perfectly seasoned. Out of this world!! It came with some hoisin sauce and rolls which were honestly not necessary. Porcini doughnut (5 star): I'm not sure that I've ever had anything like this. The donut was so light on the inside dusted with super umami powder and dipped in an airy soft creamy tangy sauce. I could keep eating this. Dry aged ribeye Larb (4.5 star): I love Larb so the tartness really hit the spot for me. I think I would prefer the outside to be a little more charred but the inside was soft and perfectly cooked. Albacore zukedon Temaki (4 star): This was really solid. Ponzu is a magic ingredient so it is a bit of an unfair advantage. I really enjoyed the Passionfruit addition. Sourdough bread and cultured butter (3 star): the sourdough was very tart and it really needed something creamy to add depth. The cultured butter was too cheesy and not to my liking. Sea urchin pasta (3 star): I really love sea urchin but this pasta made me question whether or not I knew what sea urchin tasted like. I couldn't taste any of the briney-ness and just a ton of umami like it was just pure liquid Parmesan sauce - which would be delicious but wasn't my expectation. The pasta had a little too much resistance and was less done than a chewy al dente. read more

This place is Fantastic. Food amazing. Service lovely. Ambiance perfect. Absolutely loved it.

It is a good spot for small groups (up to 6), celebrations, and birthdays. The tables are close, very intimate, and loud. They are known for their signature cocktails. Our favorite of the night was "Hell Yeah." All dishes are shareable; you can share a pasta dish and still get a main dish. Everything was good! I don't think we had anything bad. Sardine Chip (delicious dip), Blue Fin Tuna Toast Dried Porcini Dughnut (raclette was to die for) Duck Confit (super soft, moist) Squid ink bucatini with bone marrow (I'm a sucker for bone marrow and lots of seafood!) read more

This place is so good! Interesting flavors and textures, it was a fun dining experience. Sat at the bar, felt a little crowded, the place is small, but it's SF. It was also a little warm so glad I wore layers. Really enjoyed the porcini doughnuts! Meal felt a little rushed in the beginning then slowed down when it came to our main. Would definitely return and try other items on the menu. read more

I celebrated a birthday here in a group of four, and we had a great time! Food and drinks were all on point and service was extremely attentive. Porcini donuts - these are a signature for a reason. So fluffy, savory, and really tasty. Dumplings - these are FAT with great beef flavor. Rib eye - this is HUGE. Come hungry and enjoy the excellent steak. Duck w cornbread - the duck has a really smoky flavor, and the cornbread is a real treat Cacio e Pepe - this was a highlight for me. I loved the creamy texture and the flavor was on point Dan Dan bucatini - this was the only dish that my group didn't finish, it was good, but not as special as the other dishes. Desserts were all incredible as well. We ordered a panna cotta which was a giant portion. The texture was more pudding-like, but we really enjoyed it with the whipped cream and sugar cookies it came with. read more

Rich Table - Rib eye, cacio e Pepe, duck, and Dan Dan bucatini - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

Excellent top to bottom. We ordered a-la-carte: -Caviar -Tuna toast -Dumplings -Tonnarelli -Crab ramen -Cod Highlights were the caviar, tuna toast, and the ramen. Caviar was probably the best thing I've tasted in months. Order one per person; even though it's expensive that way, you'll want your own. It's served in the shell over a yolk. Creamy, salty, overflowing with umami deliciousness. The tuna on the toast is generously-portioned and tastes extremely fresh and flavorful. Very nicely done. The crab ramen is, as I understand it, seasonal, so get it if it's on the menu. It's not quite soupy like a ramen; sort of a hybrid between a pasta and a soup, but the broth is creamy and decadent, with small chunks of crab throughout. Only complaint on this otherwise amazing dish was (a) would have liked bigger chunks of crab meat and (b) it's garnished with kiwi, which was a little random and didn't seem to really go with the dish (we opted to eat the kiwi in separate bites). Ambiance is very nice, striking a good balance between casual / comfortable and high end. We sat at the bar, which was really fun. read more

Wow! Great service and food! So worth the hype! I was most impressed with the sardine chip. I only ordered two and wish I could've ordered more. It was unique to see an actual sardine embedded into the chip. The horseradish-based was a perfect complement to the sardine chip. I also really liked their pasta, as it was super fresh and light. Highly recommend and want to try their doughnuts next time! read more

Make the reservation as soon as the books open. Order everything. Enjoy. No but seriously the smashed cucumber dish with the sesame garlic yogurt and chili oil- any restaurant that can make mushrooms and cucumbers taste like that deserves all the stars. Get the donuts that are warm puffs and get dipped in cheese. Get the dumplings. Get the cacio Pepe. No regrets. Also the staff was incredible. Everyone we interacted with was just so lovely. Happy people make happy food. read more

Rich Table - Tonnarelli, Sea Urchin Cacio E Pepe, Idiazabal Vodka sauce pasta - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

What a TREAT! I had been wanting to try Rich Table for the longest time and was finally able to try it for my birthday. Overall, the service was stellar - everyone we interacted with was so friendly and enthusiastic. But I have to write about the special treatment we got at the beginning -- We arrived at the time of our reservation and our host let us know that the table before us was taking a little longer than expected. While we were waiting outside on the bench, looking through the menu and just chatting, a waiter came over and brought us 2 complimentary glasses of rose. I thought, wow, how nice! Shortly after, another waiter came over with 2 small portions of savory panna cotta - "a little snack for you", he said. I really enjoyed the different flavors. Anyway, maybe 5-10 mins later, he showed up again. This time with the sardine chips! And then with the famous porcini doughnuts a few mins after! We didn't get to touch the porcini doghnuts yet before our table was ready so he ended up bringing that dish in for us. We ended up getting the table around 30-40 mins after our reservation time, but still, that was A+ service!! Anyway, onto the food.... - Sardine chips: not something I would've ordered, but it wasn't what I expected. They fry the chips so that there is a little pocket for the sardine to sit in. Paired well with the horseradish creme that came with it. - Porcini doughnuts: YUM!! The doughnuts were light and fluffy (yet chewy) and full of the umami flavor. Raclette cheese sauce it came with was flavorful and not too heavy. - Dry aged beef dumplings: lots of hype on the dumplings but I thought they were just okay - Uni pasta: cacio e pepe sauce was delicious although I wouldn've have minded a stronger uni flavor. I personally like the sauce here more but like the noodles at Ernest better - Sweet and sour trout: not the sauce/dish combination I've seen normally but it worked and tasted good; skin was nice and crispy - Birthday dessert: (complimentary) mint chocolate cookie with milk ice cream. I am a sucker for mint chocolate so I loved this - Chocolate panna cotta: very rich and a little more like a pot de creme than a panna cotta haha. Delicious nevertheless and paired well with the palmier cookies that came with it For drinks, we also tried the Artemio Palmer (milk wash) cocktail which was really good! You don't see milk wash cocktails that often so I thought it was pretty unique. Anyway, great dining experience and highly recommend visiting! read more

Vibe: Beautiful airy space, plenty of outdoor seating. Surprisingly casual given the caliber of the food (I'd feel comfortable coming here without dressing up). Service: 5/5, our server was really approachable and the food arrived at a nice pace. Food: 5/5, definitely one of the best "Californian" cuisine meals I've had in my life. Everything is on the pricier side but the portion size is reasonable. The standouts for me were the sea urchin cacio e pepe and the dessert with melon ice and black sesame. Also loved the veggie lasagna, porcini donuts, and sweet and sour trout! Presentation was absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to come here again! read more

Innovative cuisine, attentive service, ambience is okay. I know it's worth it to many, but it's overpriced. Our appetizer was two bites (Toro toast, $25). The miso cod ($38)--which was delicious--four bites. A small serving of basic Cacio è Pepe pasta--$32. For two with tip, one glass of wine, and no dessert, we paid $215. Oddly, we were given a pine sapling which represented something for the chef and his wife, I think, but gave me a responsibility to plant it, which I did not need. We did not leave feeling the experience was amazing, or that we ever would need to return. read more

The menu was divine, so tasty and fresh. Everything was inventive and fun. Lively atmosphere and great collaborative service. Celebrating a birthday here was really fun - all the desserts alone make it an incredible experience. read more

Fabulous food. Charming service in a lovely setting. I hadn't been here in a few years. I loved it then and now

came here in a big group of 8 for a company dinner and they curated a family style 4-course dinner for us. first of all, service is amazing here -- the staff are constant checking in, efficiently refilling our water, and asking if we would like more drinks. they took our dietary restrictions and allergies very seriously and provided special alternatives for individuals with restrictions. the family style was perfect because it allowed us to sample a plethora of dishes without getting uncomfortably stuffed in the middle. we got to try their homemade buttermilk, which was impressively creamy. I especially loved the sea urchin cacio e pepe, ribeye, curry fried rice, and cucumber sherbet. read more

This is the best meal I've ever had in SF! I took my boyfriend for his birthday and we did the tasting menu. Everything was phenomenal! It was A LOT of food, so be sure to come hungry.

Went last night and had another home run dinner. Everything we had was sooooo good. Porcini donuts as always, Dungeness crab curry salad which was to die for (last night on the menu) ,burrata with spicy honey yum, sea urchin pasta as always and a hand pulled dumpling duck pasta which blew our minds. Ordered their shaved ice dessert as always and great way to end the meal. Marissa at the bar was lovely as usual! Left super happy with the menu we got to try this evening! read more

With a restaurant you have fond memories of sometimes upon return they disappoint, but that is absolutely not the case at Rich Table. I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could. The current menu is *chefs kiss*. We started with the (porcini donuts & beef dumplings), followed by the buratta toast (holy moly this is DIVINE), the albacore caesar, the raviolo a la Cotogna (this rivals the original), and the pork chop milanese w/meyer lemon. They delivered hit after hit and we could not stop talking about our meal this morning. I'm dreaming about that pork chop... To top it all off, our waitress Stephanie has been at RT for years and recognized us, which is always a lovely surprise. We're already looking forward to our next meal here. read more

One of my favorite places, period! We are regulars here and have had so many amazing meals here, across many years - I am consistently amazed how they are able to combine seasonal, farm to table ingredients (which is such a CA perk) with great, balanced flavors and creativity - there's always a little bit of twist! I also love the Asian influence that Gizela brings to the dishes - for so long, we'd have an entree (like their ribeye which is always on the menu, although the prep changes) and wish for a fried rice to go along with it... and voila. Bar program is also amazing (try their milk wash!!!) and what makes this place truly, truly special is the service. I love seeing Dana, Johnny and Kevin and they always make sure that you have the best experience. I'm excited for their bistro next door to open up soon too!! read more

I've bookmarked this place for years but never made reservations in time when visiting. This time I was in sf on a weeknight so we were able to snag bar seating. Everything was great. The milk wash cocktail and porcini doughnuts were delicious. The market cucumber granita was refreshing and spicy- a very unique dish. The mains were good but I liked the starters more. The uni tonnarelli was creamy and good but not my favorite uni pasta. My sis loved the fried rice a la plancha. It was a little sweet for me with the grapes but an interesting dish. The pistachio dessert was also great. Would definitely come back to try more especially since the menu changes frequently. read more

This was one of my favorite dining experiences in SF! The service is super sweet and conversational. Since it was busy, we had to wait 20 minutes more than our reservation time, but they brought our table champagne and Porcini Donuts on the house! They even called us twice when we forgot some of our leftovers. We also really enjoyed the dim lighting and ambiance of the place and it felt like a great date night place. Food: Dried porcini donuts with raclette (9/10), these were so light and fluffy! i would get this appetizer every time Sardine chip horseradish creme fraisch (8/10) House cultured butter (9/10), an on the house item but it was one of my favorite parts of the night Burrata tikka masala (10/10), so unique and bright and would 100% get this again Sea urchin cacio e pepe (9/10), this was so so good! Aged beef dumplings (7/10), loved this with the chili oil but it wasn't as unique as others. Ricotta dumplings w pomegranate (6/10), good but could have been a bit more flavorful and fun. Would definitely take a visitor here for some unmatched service and great food! read more

Came here for dinner on a Tuesday night and had a terrific meal! I've been wanting to try this place out for a while and it did not disappoint. We had a reservation for 7:45pm but still had to wait about half an hour before being seated. However, we were able to order quickly and the dishes came out quickly too. Here's what we ordered: Small bites: - sardine chip - dried porcini doughnuts - aged beef wonton Apps: - blue fin tuna toast Mains: - sea urchin tonnarelli - duck confit Dessert: - pog shave ice Everything was delicious and flavorful but the standouts were hands down the sardine chip and porcini doughnuts. The sardine chip was so creative and the horseradish creme fraiche complimented the chip so well. It was such a great bite! And the porcini doughnuts were so chewy and fluffy but crisp on the outside. The porcini added such a great flavor to the doughnut and the ricotta dip was a great pairing as well. Service was great and everyone was so friendly! The atmosphere was very lively and warm. It was packed on a weekday but still felt relaxed and cozy. read more

Fantastic meal overall; California cuisine meant to be shared with some very unique and delicious bites! We tried: - porcini doughnuts were really tasty and would definitely recommend. The 'doughnuts' themselves are light, airy, and chewy. They come dusted with what I assume to be porcini powder which was an absolute umami bomb. In addition, they're served with a raclette dipping sauce which was perfectly salty and funky - blue fin toro toast was tasty and presented beautifully. Great, bright and acidic toro tartare on top of toast but not the most memorable. - aged beef dumplings were really flavorful and came covered in a delicious house made chili oil. Dumplings were well made and very beefy but also had all the flavor of chinese dumplings. Chili oil on top had tons of crunch and texture, I ended up buying a jar of it - sardine chips with horse radish creme fraiche was a very unique bite but not a standout in my opinion - aged beef agnolotti was a great stuffed pasta dish. A rich and flavorful sauce and a lot of fried sunchokes which was a great textural contrast to the pasta itself. - mushroom fried rice was tasty but not one of my favorites. It sat somewhere between a fried rice and a risotto in terms of texture. It came topped with lots of mushrooms, cheese, and garlic chips (which were great for texture). It tasted more of butter and less of mushroom/umami than I'd expected - gochujang black cod was absolutely delicious and the fish was cooked perfectly. The fish was buttery and flaky and covered in a sweet & salty gochujang sauce. The salad accompanying the fish was refreshing and I love the inclusion of apple pears for sweetness and texture. I'd certainly recommend trying the fish. Staff was friendly, quick, and attentive. Went for my birthday and all of the staff wished me a happy birthday and were incredibly nice. They even gave a complimentary dessert and a menu to take home that was signed by all of the staff that night; a really sweet and memorable gesture. Certainly think it is worth visiting; must tries are the porcini doughnuts and black cod! read more

I've heard great things about Rich Table and I was so hyped about coming. This is probably one of the hardest reservations in SF (unless you want to eat dinner at 10pm) and I was so excited when I got a reservation the day before due to a last minute cancellation. The restaurant is pretty small and the space is a lot tighter than I had expected. The interior kind of reminded me of State Bird Provisions and Beretta Valencia. It happened to be a winemaker takeover night and we came in for a "wine dinner" reservation, which gave us exclusive privileges to order wines from Big Basin Vineyards, which were featured on the menu, just for this night. The waitress gave us a rundown of the menu and recommended the following that are staples on the menu: *Dried porcini doughnuts raclette *Sardine chip horseradish crème fraîche *Aged beef dumpling RT chili crunch *Burrata tikka masala "schmear", crispy brussels sprouts, Schlok's bagel *Tonnarelli, sea urchin "cacio e pepe", idiazabal (she said this is a 100% must-get item) For 2 people, she recommended getting 2-3 bites, 2 appetizers, 1 pasta (2 if you're really hungry), and 1 entrée. For us, this was WAY TOO MUCH food. We didn't finish 4 out of the 7 dishes that we ordered. I would personally say to pick no more than 3 items between the bites and the appetizers. Their appetizers are basically entrée-sized. The sardine chip was a good starter dish. It's pretty light and refreshing, and the horseradish crème fraîche was delicious and paired well with the chip. Everything else did not feel like an appetizer to me. The aged beef dumpling was good but not spicy in the slightest. Also, $5 for a dumpling? That is a little insane. In all honestly, I would like to give the dried porcini doughnuts raclette a 1/5. This was an absolute miss. We both took a bite and just looked at each other. It was way too heavy and just made me feel absolutely gross. There were 5 of these in a serving, and we each only had 1. The burrata tikka masala "schmear", crispy brussels sprouts, schlok's bagel was one of my favorite items of the night. It was delicious. We also ordered maguro tataki, braised cranberry beans, swiss chard, fried sourdough. Honestly, this dish just had me confused. I was confused about how to eat it, what was going on, and honestly just everything about it. Other than the fact that the tuna was kind of bland, everything else tasted good by itself, but it just felt like everything was thrown together haphazardly. The presentation was confusing and I was just so lost at what this was or was meant to be. Also, neither of these two dishes felt like an appetizer. Next was the tonnarelli, sea urchin "cacio e pepe", idiazabel. I have to say that this tasted pretty standard, like a normal cacio e pepe. It was very rich and creamy and I can understand why this attracts an audience. Kind of weird that this was the same size as the appetizer though. I don't think I could have eaten more than half of this by myself, just because it's so rich and heavy and the taste becomes quickly monotonous after the first few bites. It was a good dish to share. I also think the use of acidity (for example, lemon) would have balanced out the creaminess and elevated the dish a lot more. Lastly, we had the dry duck confit, quince, and duck fat cornbread. While I really wanted to enjoy this dish, I was just way too full at this point. The duck was well seasoned and perfectly cooked, and the duck fat cornbread was simply delicious and was probably my favorite item of the night. The quince and the sauce were a little too sweet, but overall this was a solid dish. Flavor wise, I would give it a 4-4.5/5. But I honestly just had so many questions about the dishes throughout the meal: the pairings, the sequence, the presentation, etc. It felt like everything was too much of its own thing and didn't flow into a sequence very well. Also, every single dish was garnished with chive, A LOT OF chive. I didn't dislike it so much as I was just confused. It made the plating look messy. The presentation of the dishes can honestly use some improvement. Service was good. Our waitress checked in often to see how we were doing. I would come back and order half as much food. read more

I'm fairly new to the Bay Area but Rich Table has been my favorite dining experience thus far. They for sure live it up to their Michelin star reputation. Everything was terrific, and I mean EVERYTHING. From the savory doughnuts, to the aged beef dumplings and the cacio pepe pasta. Nothing missed the mark! At the end of the night, I spent 60 to 70 dollars on myself and I have no regrets. If you have the opportunity, grab a reservation at Rich Table, you won't regret it! Special shout-out to Larry for being an awesome server/bartender too! read more

An amazing birthday dining experience! My first time at RT and very impressed by service/ wait staff, the coziness of dining room being immersed with the kitchen, and of course the unforgettable food and cocktail. We tried a lot of the menu but really couldn't get over the grilled black cod with the unreal Korean flair. The menu is rotating seasonally so I can't wait for the next big occasion to come back and celebrate. read more

Rich Table - Grilled black cod - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

Great place to celebrate a birthday! The three of us started with sardine chips and a couple of crab salads. I confess that I was glad to delay this dinner until January since Dungeness crab season opened late. The crab salad was my favorite last year... but that was before I tried the oysters! OMG! Do NOT miss them! Hog Island Sweetwaters are fabulous naked, but dressed in kumquat and peppercorn!!! There are no words! The Trout Almondine was succulent and a work of art. The ribeye and the tonnarelli pasta were good, but did not delight in the same way that the other dishes did. read more
