I got lucky and was able to score a last minute reservation on Open Table so I was finally able to try Rich Table. It is a really cozy, bustling, warm space. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by our friendly host who made sure to make us feel taken care of. It was a little wait before we got sat, but it was a super busy night and I could tell all of the staff were doing their best. The food was all, as the name states, very rich! Portion sizes are on the small side but you still leave feeling extremely full with all the creamy dishes. The staff also surprised us with 2 extra sides on the house which was very sweet. Our server was also very prompt and personable. After this experience, I can see why this is a staple in the SF dining scene. read more

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

Rich Table is one of the best restaurants in SF for a reason! The food is always amazing. It's the perfect place to go to celebrate a special occasion or to take someone you want to impress. I came with a party of 5 so we did the family style menu which was perfect for a big party. It was my first time doing family style (prefix) at Rich Table and it was great. We got to try so many different dishes and it was portioned out well. It's a good way to try a bit of everything. The meal started off with a buttermilk panna cotta, the porcini donuts, the watermelon tom kha, a gem lettuce salad, the sardine chips and aged beef wontons. They were all fantastic. The porcini donuts are always a must get. The watermelon tom kha was very unique and redressing. For the mains, we got the sea urchin tonnarelli, peach alfredo rigatoni, the summer panzanella, and the dry aged rib eye. I enjoyed all of them but my least favorite was the peach alfredo rigatoni. We still finished the dish but the sweetness from the peach was a bit odd with the alfredo sauce. For dessert, we got the mint chocolate sable cookie with mousse and milk ice, and the watermelon granita. Both were tasty, the mint chocolate dessert tasted like a thin mint and the watermelon granita was nice and refreshing. Overall I enjoyed trying the family style menu, it was great way to try some dishes I haven't had a chance to yet. The service is also great, the courses were well timed. read more

This was one of our most extraordinary dining experiences in San Francisco. The food was exceptionally delicious, each dish a stunning culinary feast. The restaurant thoughtfully provided several complimentary appetizers, adding a finishing touch to this already remarkable experience. The bartenders were warm, friendly, and highly skilled, creating amazing cocktails; the manager was also incredibly attentive and friendly. From beginning to end, everything felt exceptionally special. It was a truly unforgettable experience and a must-visit destination in San Francisco. read more

Visited Sept 2025. Enjoyed the food, the vibes, and the service, I'm just not entirely sold on all the dishes that were served. A few dishes that I enjoyed a lot were: - Dried porcini doughnuts (always on their menu for a reason, amazing bouncy texture) - Monterey squid and shrimp coctel w/ tomato and avocado (refreshing) - 21 day dry aged ribeye with pole beans (steak cooked well, flavours worked together) Some dishes were a bit of strange to me, like random flavours were thrown together or assembled just to look cool. I don't have a good palate but this was just what I felt when eating. The crispy pork belly with watermelon, mint and cilantro was a bit disappointing because the pork belly alone was insanely good, to me the other stuff on the plate just didn't really work with it. read more

The vibes here are so good. The staff is so friendly and I love that it's fine dining quality food without the stuffy/sterile atmosphere and reasonable prices. We ordered the bone marrow tostada, toro milk bread, crab congee, and pork chop. Everything was my favorite bite. It's my fourth time here and I always forget that the menu is Japanese influenced. Love! read more

We've been wanting to try Rich Table for some time now. We were excited for our dining experience. The staff and service were fantastic! I loved the atmosphere and ambiance of the restaurant. The food was a bit underwhelming. I was most excited to try the Dried Porcini Doughnuts but they tasted like air and mushroom dust. Our favorite dish was the burrata toast which was a bummer as you can get toast just about anywhere. My husband was not a fan of the Pork Chop as the flavors were off. The Sea Urchin Cacio E Pepe had good umami, I could tell that the pasta was fresh and handmade. The Panna Cotta dessert was served more like a mousse which was disappointing. Overall for the price I would not return as the food did not meet or exceed the anticipated dining experience. read more

Even though we ran 15 minutes late to our reservation due to traffic, we really appreciated that they were still able to seat us at the bar! Maybe it was because we arrived a bit late, but we were seated at an awkward corner of the bar right by the front entrance and spacing was pretty tight! ~the food~ - Dried porcini doughnuts raclette ($13): SUPER fluffy savory doughnuts with an airy/fluffy cream dipping sauce. The doughnuts were super fluffy, but still had a nice chew to them. Honestly this might've been our favorite dish of the night. - Sardine Chip with Horseradish creme fraiche ($4 per chip): very fun and cool concept, but I thought the taste was just okay! It really was just a singular potato chip with a sardine, but it was still good! - Black cod collar, mandarin sweet & sour, sesame ($14): pretty good! The cod was very tender, and I think the freshness of the mandarin was a nice touch! - Sugar snap peas, honey mustard, horseradish ($20): super refreshing! Really enjoyed the natural sweetness of the peas, and I think the freshness of this dish balances the other dishes at RT very well. - Tonnarelli, sea urchin cacio e pepe ($32): pretty good! The pasta was cooked nicely and had a nice chew to them. The sauce was honestly maybe a bit too cheesy for us? We couldn't really taste the sea urchin in the sauce as it was very creamy/cheesy. - 21 day dry aged ribeye, black bean, green garlic, crab butter ($34): the steak was cooked really well and was very tender. We were very excited about the crab butter, but we actually ended up thunking that it would be better without it, ad the butter made the dish a bit too heavy for us. - Warm coconut cake with coconut/line sorbet: This was heavenly. The coconut cake was fluffy, with a crunchy top and had such a nice coconut flavor without it being overpowering. Honestly, I would come back again just for this dessert. 10/10. ~overall~ Staff were very friendly and sitting at a bar was pretty nice, but the seating felt a bit too cramped imo. The menu was very fun, unique and seasonal, which I really appreciated! read more

I'll be honest--Italian food is usually my least favorite cuisine, so I didn't go into Rich Table with high expectations. But this place completely surprised me in the best way and absolutely earned a solid 4 stars from me. What really stood out was how thoughtfully everything was put together. The pasta dish was incredible--the sauce was rich, balanced, and honestly one of the best I've had anywhere. It didn't feel heavy or overly traditional; it had a unique depth that kept me going back for another bite. And the bread dish? Immaculate. Perfect texture, full of flavor, and clearly made with a lot of care. Beyond the food itself, the whole experience felt elevated without being pretentious. The menu is creative and a little unexpected, which I appreciated, especially since it made Italian cuisine feel exciting to me for once. Service was attentive and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere struck a nice balance between cozy and refined. Even as someone who typically avoids Italian food, Rich Table managed to completely win me over. It's the kind of place that makes you rethink your preferences, and I'd definitely come back to try more. read more

It has been more than a year since I last came here. If you have never been or haven't been in a while I would recommend doing the chefs pick ($125 per person as of Feb 2026) since they do change their menu throughout the year. We did just that for our date night dinner recently and were not disappointed. This honestly remains one of my favorite restaurants in the city. If it wasn't so challenging to get a reservation I would definitely come more often! read more

This was my first time trying Rich Table, which is 13 years old. I wish I had known about it earlier; it was a fabulous and very eclectic meal. The restaurant is helmed by chefs Evan and Sarah Rich, hence the very apropos name. They serve a menu with influences from all parts of the globe. The restaurant is wildly popular; reservations are essential, even for the bar. To get the widest choice of offerings, I would recommend the "Let Us Choose Your Adventure" tasting menu for a very reasonable $125 (has an optional wine pairing). You get samples of many of the "market bites" and "classic bites" on the menu, a pasta, a main and a dessert. Some of the tastes are not on the menu. If you are a party of 2, they give you a different pasta and main for more variety. And they can make it vegetarian too. The bites I received included: egg with caviar and maple creme fraiche, peach with black truffle and creme fraiche, tuna tostada with corn pico de gallo and serrano peppers, sardine chip with horseradish creme fraiche, porcini doughnut with whipped raclette (a famous bite), beef dumpling with chili crunch, a cucumber preparation and a cracker of sorts topped with peas. My pasta was tonnarelli sea urchin "cacio e pepe". The main was hangar steak with peaches and coriander (they use ribeye for this dish on the regular menu). The dessert was a layered chocolate thing with a creme fraiche-like ice cream, plus a petite honeycomb cookie. Everything was WOW! This place, along with my old fave Gary Danko, will be regular stops whenever I visit SF. And I'd like to try their fast-casual chicken place RT Rotisserie just down the street. read more

I wasn't sure if there was a point to write a review for an already top rated restaurant but I needed to rave about our experience. Even looking at pictures from other guests a few weeks ago, our dinner menu was different. Rich table is dedicated to a farm to table seasonal experience. I've never loved coriander as much as I did in this meal. Every dish was thoughtful and honored the freshness of the ingredients. Don't skip on the porcini doughnuts or the aged beef dumpling; they're classics for a reason. The front of house was exceptional and the signed menu in honor of us celebrating our anniversary was the cherry on top on an already wonderful night. It's been a while since I've been so wowed by a dinner experience. read more

Had a fantastic dinner for 4 people at Rich Table -- for a family friend in town, it ended up being the perfect spot. The ambiance was so lively yet relaxed, and the service really stood out (has since the first time I came here). The waiters clearly know the menu inside and out, which added to the whole experience -- great food paired with great service. We had a reservation for four on a Friday evening and ordered a great mix of food and drinks: Drinks: - In High Dumonde -- bright and refreshing, a great start to the meal. - Porch Rocker Milk Wash -- a smooth, citrusy orange drink with a striking square ice cube. the milk wash technique added a silky texture. - Shiso Gimlet -- herbaceous and crisp, a twist on the classic... not for me though - (And one more drink I can't quite remember -- but it was just as good!) Dishes: **'s are my favorite Peaches and Cream, Truffle Crème Fraîche, Coriander ($23): A very interesting dish -- It was sweet, savory, and slightly floral all at once. Personally didn't think the flavors mixed well Douglas Fir Levain with House Cultured Butter ($5): Loved this. Simple but memorable. **Aged Beef Dumpling, RT Chili Crunch ($5.25 each): This was my second time having the aged beef dumpling -- I first tried it a year ago, and it was so memorable I had to order it again. The chili crunch adds more texture than heat, but the dumpling itself is rich and packed with flavor. Still a standout. **Linguine, Summer Squash Pistachio Pesto, Pickled Melon, Blossoms ($27): Cooked to al dente perfection. The pickled melon gave a bright twist to the earthy pistachio pesto, and the squash blossoms added a delicate, floral note. **Tonnarelli, Sea Urchin "Cacio e Pepe", Idiazabal: A classic. Creamy, briny, and bold -- the sea urchin added a luxurious, oceanic depth to the traditional cacio e pepe. Definitely a must-try for uni fans. **Dry Aged Ribeye, Kansas City BBQ, Chervil ($49): Perfectly cooked ribeye with a smoky BBQ glaze. The heirloom tomatoes brought a burst of sweetness that balanced the dish beautifully. Honestly, for the quality, the price felt like a great deal. Sweet and Sour Wild King Salmon ($41): Tender, flavorful salmon with a complex blend of sweet, smoky, and tangy notes. The dishes are inventive and the drinks were thoughtfully crafted. Dishes felt like a steal for the quality! Would definitely return -- I know I'll be ordering the aged beef dumpling again. read more

We snagged a last minute reservation to Rich Table, and ordered the tasting menu because we didn't know what to choose. They were really accommodating of my dietary restrictions and served modifications for me when necessary. The service was really attentive and our server was super sweet. I liked that we got to taste a lot of different things with the tasting menu, and the flavors were really fun. However, there weren't any standout dishes on the tasting menu, although everything was good. We also added on a toro toast, which was worth the extra cost. I liked the dessert (creamsicle shaved ice) the most, even though I don't usually love sweet things. read more

My partner and I had dinner at Rich Table in San Francisco tonight. While the environment is very nice and the food is undeniably delicious, our overall experience was completely spoiled by what felt like a deceptive billing practice. The Food: For the most part, the kitchen delivered a fantastic meal. Here's what we ordered: - Rich Table Sourdough & House Cultured Butter: The butter was absolutely delicious. - Aged Beef Dumpling with RT Chili Crunch: Very flavorful. - Mirimichi Oysters: Fresh and a great start to the meal. - Fried Pork Chop: An interesting and highly enjoyable combination of flavors. - 21-Day Dry Aged Ribeye: This was just okay; unfortunately, the meat was a bit chewy. The Experience: Despite the culinary highlights, the service left us feeling ripped off. I ordered a club soda, which came in a very small glass. I asked for a refill twice during the meal. When the check arrived, I was shocked to see a $15 charge for three club sodas ($5.00 each). There was no price listed on the menu for this, and at no point did the waiter mention a $5 charge for each small glass - nor did he give a heads-up when I asked for a refill. I don't mind paying $5 for sparkling water if it's clearly stated, but charging $5 per refill for a tiny glass of club soda without any warning feels deceptive, especially considering many restaurants offer this for free. While the restaurant's profile shows a stellar 4.7-star reputation and sets expectations for a premium $100+ meal, hidden charges on basic items shouldn't be part of fine dining. Although we loved the food, this lack of transparency left a really bad taste in our mouths, and we will probably never return. read more

I first went to Rich Table around when it opened. I thought it was good, but not very memorable. The seating at the communal table was nice and I liked the sardine chip. Other than that, I don't remember much. I went back last week and was blown away. We ordered the chef's tasting menu and it was sublime from the start. The starters featured an aged beef dumpling in chili sauce that was deeply tasty and had a nice wrapper with great chew to it. There was also the signature sardine chip and porcini doughnut which were also delicious. But the most surprising dish was a very simple snap peas in horseradish and sweet mustard sauce. This tasted so fresh and clean, it was like summer in a bite. Of the mains, I really liked the koshikari fried rice with fresh summer corn and lap Chong. The corn was very bright and a nice contrast to the savory and rich fried rice. The rice was also the perfect texture: lightly fried with a slight crisp (similar to the edge of a bibimbap). The desserts were also outstanding. My favorite was the cherry granita with candied cherries and what I think was shiso. The granita covered a nice light ice cream, and the candied cherries were very flavorful. On our way out, we bought a loaf of bread to go and some cultured butter. We've been eating it all week, and it is a great way to keep the Rich Table magic going after you've left! read more

This restaurant may take over for my favorite in the city. Every bite we had was absolutely delicious and the service was amazing! My favorite savory items were probably either the oysters or the porcini doughnuts but the steak and the stuffed shells were also both delicious! The stand outs, however, were the desserts and the cocktails! My Persimmon Granted, which was a play on an old fashioned, was perfect and the pistachio dessert was phenomenal! Can't wait to go back and try what we missed the first time around. read more

Came into this restaurant on a damp, cold, and brisk November night after attending an event earlier. It was a small, cozy, and rustic space that was warm to be in, as well as receiving an inviting, friendly greeting from the host staff, so I knew it was going to be a good place to eat and enjoy while being sheltered from the elements outside. We were greeted by our server, who was very friendly & well-informed of the food & drink menu, as well as the business model & operations of the restaurant. It's quite simple as outlined by the banner at the top of the menu: "go to the market, see what's good, and cook it." Everything was fresh and tasty, and the flavors in everything that we tried were good, some were bold, while others were more delicate & subtle. Presentation of each dish was excellent, the service from everyone running our food out to us was top-notch, and everyone & everything was friendly, engaging, informative, and inviting. The only drawback for me were the portion sizes, certainly tiny, each dish left me wanting more, and the price for these sizes seemed pretty high for what they were giving you, but I guess these types of restaurants are more for sampling, savoring, and enjoying, rather than feasting, gorging, and stuffing. Good thing that Thanksgiving is right around the corner to do all of that :P To start, we both ordered the same Shiro Popular with Japanese gin, shiso, and lemon. It came in a nice delicate glass with some sort of ground peppercorn & salt attached to the rim like a margarita. It was very tasty & satisfying, and a good way to warm up to start our meal. The ambiance inside the restaurant was very busy, loud, and quite dim, and the place was really jumping despite it being the final 10pm seating. I guess they stay busy from opening right up to closing time, which is always a good sign of a popular, in demand restaurant. I asked about what time they did close, and the waitstaff told me "officially at 11pm, but we invite you to stay as long as you want or need to, even if it ends up being really late." This is such a nice gesture of hospitality & appreciation towards their patrons, and made the experience feel like being welcomed into somebody's home. Like I said, they were all so nice here. Then came the presentation of the plates and table settings. Everything was so clean and utility, they brought us out numerous silverware despite us being only a party of two. The chopsticks were a game changer. Serrated & textured at the ends to insure a Velcro grip on thst slippery food, so as to not drop it onto the table, or into your lap, so nice and I've never seen sticks like this before. In fact, I was so impressed, that when I asked the waitstaff where they sourced these clutch design utensils, they simply offered me to keep them and to take them home with me. Another great, friendly gesture from the folks working here. The chopsticks also sat on a cute porcelain panda lying on the table, but I don't think I was supposed to keep that as well! (I didn't) ;) Then, the food came out. We ordered the mixed marinated radish & kohlrabi with tofu & cashew sauce, the somen sesame noodles, and the Albacore tataki to stay in the Asian fusion food theme we had going on starting with our cocktails. Everything was very good, especially the radishes and the Albacore tataki. Radishes were crunchy and the cashews were whole. The Albacore slices were thick and fairly plentiful, and buttery with a hint of tangy to the taste. The somen noodles were kind of disappointing, an extremely small portion, and not much flavor, it taste like a bite sized white rice noodle, and the tomato & gin & sesame flavors were so watery that I could barely make them out. I would not order this appetizer again, but I'd order double portions of the others next time. We lingered for a while after our dinner, well past closing time, and were never rushed to pay our tab and leave. The staff did prepare their closing & cleaning duties, but we were still checked-in on & engaged by a crew of people with going home for the night certainly on their minds. Very good, friendly service here, never rushed, always inviting. Using the bathroom before we exited, I spied some sort of signage on the wall directed towards the staff to always please the customer, make things right, and keep their focus on creating a great expeience. Rich Table certainly did that and when above & beyond the call of dinner to make our experience here very impressive & positive. It really felt like having a fancy dinner in someone's country home, with warm wooden rustic interior with comfortable dining area. The staff really treated us like they were welcoming us into their home for dinner & shelter, and I was most impressed by that. read more

Wow was I impressed by everything at Rich Table! My friends and I got the family dinner prix fix menu and a few of us had the drink pairings with the menu. I chose to let our waitress pair cocktail drinks from their menu with my food and she did not disappoint me. She was super sweet about everything and our tables were cleared and wiped down before the next set of dishes from the menu came out. A couple of us also got the truffle egg. So delicious!!!! From the drinks to the food to the service, I enjoyed everything on the menu and a few extras like the oysters and chicken liver mousse. The place was tight and cozy, but it felt like we were all family somehow. I had a wonderful time and my tummy and mouth enjoyed everything last bit of the place. I am sad that I lost the autographed menu by the staff for my birthday on my way out. I feel so bad and wanted to keep that. read more

11/22/2025 Dinner - tasting menu $125/pp - 5 course Reservation: 5pm. 6.5% surcharge Service: top notch - Dana the maître d' and Erica our server plus few others all made us feel welcome and hospitable. Kitchen: We were catching the 7pm Cinderella ballet at the Orpheum so we weren't sure if we can go with the tasting menu. The kitchen/chef was very accommodating and said they can do that in 90 mins. even meant some dishes might arrived same time instead of in procession which we were ok with. Interior: on the smaller size, tables were very close together but that's understandable given the limited real estate in the city. Evidently the corner two seaters near the restroom that gives the most privacy is popular that according to Dana, people pre-reserve ahead of time. Food: we got to try a handful of snacks, apps, pasta, entrees, and desserts. 1) Snacks - consisted of their signature sardine chips and porcini donuts. Also, aged beef dumplings, shinko pear, oysters, plus a cup of burrata cheese (?) and a spoonful of something salad like bite. The aged beef dumpling was my favorite. It looked spicy but it wasn't. 2) Appetizers - Fall squash curry and albacore tataki - they were ok for me 3) Fried rice and tonnarelli sea urchin Casio e Pepe - the tonnarelli was the better dish between the two but as some other helpers said, I can't taste much urchin flavor. 4) 21 day dried age ribeye - the steak was done on the rarer side. It didn't bother me but some diners might find it too rare so request for medium rare or medium if you have a preference. This course was served to us with our own plate so we don't need to share which I like. This was my favorite course of all. Good flavor overall and the steak was tender. 5) Desserts - shaved ice, ice cream with brownie like crust, and toffee crunch bites. The shaved ice with a marshmallowy white base under the shaved ice was my favorite. The white base was a bit more chewy than ice cream but I can't tell what that was. Overall 4 stars because I found the dish flavors were a tad overly complex for my taste. Interestingly, I experienced the same when brunching at Valley Goat that same day. read more

We came to Rich Table for a birthday dinner! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome! Seriously, they must've said "Happy Birthday" ten times throughout the night!

Went for a date night. Started out strong with good service and a fun menu. We ordered a few small bites, 4-6 dishes to try, including the pear salad and hamachi toast - probably the best bites of the night. The rest were forgettable. Our mains were the uni pasta and aged ribeye. This is where I was disappointed. Uni pasta was solid but one note, got a bit tired of eating it and not very uni forward tbh. Steak was under seasoned AND over cooked - making it very tough, I think my boy friend said he had better steak at sizzlers. Waitress also never asked how we wanted it cooked.

Rich Table - Sardine Chip, Horseradish, Creme Fraiche Dinner Bites - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

Our last-minute anniversary dinner at Rich Table turned out to be an unforgettable experience. We originally reserved for 9:30 PM tonight but received a message offering us an earlier table if we wanted to come in sooner--a thoughtful touch that set the tone for the evening. Taking a Wymo to the restaurant, we arrived to find a lively atmosphere, with our table being one of the last to be seated. We started with two cocktails--the Chiz, which was incredibly refreshing, and the Apil Good Time, both expertly crafted. Wanting to fully experience what Rich Table had to offer, we opted for the chef's choice tasting menu with caviar and wine pairings. What made this experience truly special was how the dishes showcased top American culinary hits while seamlessly integrating flavors and techniques influenced by global cuisines--a reflection of how American dining has evolved into a beautiful fusion of cultures! Each course was a standout, but the oysters--though not Kumamoto--were bold and buttery, offering a rich, briny taste. The In & Out Smash Steak was a nostalgic yet elevated nod to American comfort food with pinot noir, while the garlic fried rice with morel mushrooms delivered deep, earthy flavors that balanced indulgence with simplicity with the dry resling. One of the biggest highlights was the dumpling topped with house-made chili crisp oil, which packed an incredible depth of flavor with just the right amount of heat! The odd the menu courses were also wonderful and a must try! The wine pairing was just as impressive, taking us through a journey of American wine culture with a subtle international touch with selections ranging from light-bodied to intermédiante, culminating in a beautifully balanced late-harvest tasting wine. Dessert came as part of the chef's choice, but we were also treated to off-menu selections that added a delightful surprise to the meal. Service was attentive and prompt, and one thing to notice was when the wine glasses were being changed my old glass was not picked up, but the new glass that was set on the table. Not a big deal, it's late in the night. & We are transitioning from chard to riesling. To end the night, we enjoyed coffee and chamomile tea, a comforting conclusion to an already stellar dining experience. What truly made the evening feel personal and memorable was the thoughtful farewell gift--a small plant to take home and grow, symbolizing our years of marriage to come and love to grow. Rich Table delivered not just a meal, but an exploration of American cuisine's evolution, blending the best of its heritage with global influences. It was the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary, and I can't wait to return!. read more

My co-workers chose Rich Table as part of a celebratory dinner. Our hostess was fabulous and provided the best recommendations and service possible. Because it was 3 of us, we decided to try the best dishes on the menu and it was the BEST decision ever! We started off with the Aril good time cocktails and some sparkling vino. We then proceeded to order the following dishes: Sourdough house cultured butter Dungeness crab salad Dried porcini doughnuts Burrata RT Ramen-Alfredo Baked Rigatoni Pistachio dessert (forgot the name of it but ask your hostess!)

We made reservations to celebrate a birthday and were seated immediately upon check in. The server was kind, attentive, and gave us recommendations on how many dishes per category to order. The restaurant has a somewhat open kitchen concept so if you're sitting closer to the bar area, you're able to see them preparing dishes as well. We ordered a handful of items, 1/2 dozen oysters, porcini donuts (must try!), sardine chip (could pass, we wanted to try as that's a well recognized item -- tastes exactly what you'd expect), toro toast (so good, probably my favorite item), halibut crudo, beef rendang agnolotti, and grilled pork chop. They frequently changed our dish and silverware between meals, which was nice but a bit excessive at times. We did receive a sweet birthday treat at the end which was a nice surprise. I'm glad we got to try Rich Table and look forward to trying the other sister restaurants nearby! read more

Had an incredible meal here. Tried to book pretty well in advance and there were only seating times after 8 during weekdays available. When I got there it was very busy and now I can see why it's so popular. Th e menu is set up well for sharing between the small plates and mains. The small bites range in size so best to ask your server if you're wondering about portions on certain dishes.

They also have a champagne toast you can order if you're celebrating something. read more

Alright, this place is legit. First, the staff are all amazing. We got to try the entire tasting menu for a group dinner, and nearly every dish was a hit. There weren't many low lights that were brought out, and I think the mushroom donut puff and the dumplings were by far the best part of the menu. The main pesto pasta and sea urchin pasta were the strongest entrees, and I'd skip the steak next time. The pea infused gin martini was really smooth, and after once sip, I realized that I will probably never enjoy the flavor of peas, but I'm glad I tried a cocktail on their menu since it was a really easy to drink booze forward concoction. read more

Sat at the bar and the service was quite slow and not the best although it was quite busy when I went. The food was a little salty and overly flavored but still quite delicious. The drinks were fantastic and the lighting made the interior have a nice intimate vibe. read more

Ok listen this review is based off the tasting menu! I really can't tell you the names of 75% of the dishes I ate. So I'll base this review off of my overall experience! I'll be the first to say, if my friend hadn't setup the reservations I would have never chosen this spot because based on the pictures, and the names of the dishes I don't usually partake! But I was pleasantly surprised. The flavor combinations of 90% of the dishes were fire! The restaurant is great for small groups! We had a great time and the service was exceptional! But buyers beware! The bill will be up there so bring your coins! read more

Upscale New American at its best -- seasonal, chef-driven, and you can tell they really care about the details. Service is warm and attentive, making the whole experience feel special. Must-try dishes: - Bluefin Toro Toast - Rich toro on fluffy milk bread, lifted by a touch of yuzu. - "Ratatouille" - Eggplant, squash, and tomato in a lemon verbena curry -- creamy, umami-packed, unforgettable. Highly recommend making a reservation. And don't miss their casual sister spot RT Rotisserie just down the block! read more

Fantastic experience at Rich Table!! I was pleasantly surprised by the interesting and diverse flavors, warm ambiance, friendly staff, and good portions! With its hard-to-get reservations (now I see why) and calm and beautiful exterior, I thought RT was going to be a bit stuffy, but it was nothing of the sort. Jumping right into the food. TL;DR it was amazing!! DUNGENESS CRAB SALAD ($25) I thoroughly enjoyed this seasonal favorite. It was super fresh with the pomelo and spaghetti squash -- I'm pretty sure the squash was raw because its texture was almost papaya-like! There were also little pops of heat and warming flavor from the curry. The trout crisps on top were delicious!! It was served in a hollowed-out crab shell, which was fun and cool. The portion was small, especially for the price tag, but I don't think that really took away from the dish. So, I would recommend this if you feel the flavors are up your alley. DRIED PORCINI DOUGHNUTS RACLETTE ($13) Our waitress said this was the dish that brings people back to RT, and funnily enough, it was the dish that brought my friend back, and I see why!!! This is AMAZING!!! The doughnuts are perfectly fried. The dried porcini is used to make a ridiculously delicious and umami powder coating that literally tastes like movie popcorn and chips (in a slightly more fancy way). The raclette is so whipped that it's like foam. You must get this dish!!! RICOTTA PIEROGIS with PERSIMMON SWEET & SOUR SAUCE ($14) These were super fun! They are much more like empanadas than pierogis, but I think I prefer it that way. The crust was so buttery and flaky, and the ricotta melded perfectly in it. Putting some of that persimmon sauce inside after taking the first bite was fun, and made for a fancy grilled cheese-like flavor! I do think this dish would benefit from one more piece :) TONNARELLI ($29) Our waitress called this adult mac and cheese. While I don't fully agree with that statement because mac and cheese is for all ages, I see where she's coming from! It was a comforting dish with interesting cheesy flavors. The pasta shape itself is like a straw so it was covered AND filled with the delicious sauce. TAJARIN ($38) This dish sounded so interesting with the black truffle and pomegranate, and they did not skimp on the two at all. The flavor was interesting and very truffle-forward. I preferred the Tonnarelli over this one, but I think if you want to be adventurous, this is worth a shot! PISTACHIO BUTTER CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE ICE CREAM ($15) This is the type of dessert I WANT TO SEE in restaurants!!!!!!! I was pretty nervous about the dessert menu because restaurants love to flop in that department; and I guess get it: it's really hard to do well and restaurant margins are slim. But look, a girl has a sweet tooth and I'm trying to get it satisfied at the restaurant!! THIS SATISFIED IT!!! Oh my goodness, SO SO good. Like. You have good cake, with good crumble, and delicious pipings of PISTACHIO BUTTER, and a super interesting, tangy CREAM CHEESE ICE CREAM. Like, who's doing like that?!??!!? The portion was also perfect. Please do get this if you come here. Rich Table, please continue with these amazing desserts. It is for the common good CHOCOLATE PANNA COTTA ($15) This was more like a pudding or mousse than anything, but it was still great! It came out in a pink planter-esque dish, which was really cute. The chocolate flavor was very slight, and the caramel bits stood out more than anything. Overall, this was sweet, light (but not too light) and delicious! Aside from the food, everything else about the experience was fantastic. I'm going to call out three non-food highlights. 1. The dishware. BEAUTIFUL. Like. It looks handmade. It's thick. It's got texture. And also, the pasta dishes came out so hot. Not burn-your-hands hot, but hot, and it added a lot to the experience for whatever reason!! A small touch, but a big difference. 2. The bar. You can ACTUALLY EAT AT THE BAR. Instead of being 6 inches wide and only made for cocktails, you can put multiple plates on it with room to spare. THANK YOU. Especially when it's so hard to get a reservation, being able to eat comfortably at the bar is huge. 3. The ambiance. Very warm and inviting. Very relaxed. Not super hushed and quiet. We certainly felt free to joke around and laugh a bit loudly without being the food ones out. I love that. If it wasn't evident, I quite enjoyed Rich Table. I am excited for when I come back. read more
