    Imagine a sexy Italian speakeasy with Tech Bros in sweatsuits next to millionaire housewives. 10 out of 10 food was delicious! Drink drinks were as cold as my heart was before I walked into this establishment! Food as as warm as my heart leaving the restaurant! My man definitely gave me full service after this great service by Mika !! Help others with another review

    I love love love the ambiance here! The decorations are so beautiful and I love the painted ceiling! The service was also good- the servers were attentive and trying their best to take our orders despite the business of the restaurant! I also really enjoyed the food! I got the NY steak as my entree, and the arancini as my appetizer, and both dishes were cooked deliciously! I loved the flavor in both, though I must say the arancini had an amazing crisp as well as a tasteful, creamy sauce. I asked for the steak to be medium well, and they delivered! The steak was cooked and seasoned well, the potatoes were tasty and crispy, and the green beans were delicious as well. I also tried the italiano and bergamotto drinks, both of which were decently strong but packed with flavor. Overall, I would definitely come back to try more dishes and drinks!!

    Old Fashioned!

    Walking down the strip and this place looked appealing. Asked the bartender for a good whiskey drink. He made the MOST amazing old fashioned! So goooood! Thank you Mattia!

    This spot is great as a date night or for elevated celebrations. Service is excellent and attentive, and the ambiance is so cute with low lighting, and stylish interior. The food is also good, pretty much everything we ordered was tasty and well portioned for the entrees. The appetizers are also tasty, but less bang for your buck when you're talking about size to cost. We went as a group and the tuna tartar was the best item we got as an appetizer. This is my second time at the restaurant and the halibut and New York steak are both perfectly cooked, tender, and savory. Cocktails are also good but personally I would skip on the desserts. We selected 3 desserts and feel we wouldn't order again. Several come in mason jars like the cheesecake, which would've tasted better plated so you could have some crust with the bites.

    Buratta which seemed more like a caprese salad.

    I've dined here several times for dinner and recently started sitting at the bar for a fun experience & interaction with the bar staff. I love their arancini & had that as a snack in addition to the beef tartare, an off the menu item that we were informed about by Scott, the bar manager. Great recommendation & it was delicious! My recent favorite cocktail is their Italiano, which is vodka based with strawberry purée. Service is friendly & helpful. Very lively restaurant & bar area with additional quieter dining room towards the back. We always have a great time when we're at Ristobar!

    nice, polished interior. food was fine (nothing crazy but not bad at all), mocktail was sooo sour. service was great! fritto misto was pretty yummy, steak was okay but maybe too overcooked? agnolotti was beautifully presented but nothing spectacular. overall, satisfied enough!

    Came to this beautiful establishment for a social event. The service was great. The drinks were super cute and strong. The food was fresh and yummy! I really enjoyed the Arancini especially the sauce. The Italiano was super refreshing and had a great kick to it. I liked how the chef examined every plate before It went out..Plus the music was on point!!

    The Pinsa (similar to a pizza) was deliciously fluffy, akin to a focaccia bread. Would recommend.

After a park day at the Presidio, we wanted to move the party and we decided on Bar Darling. It was a Saturday afternoon and it was jam packed. Luckily we were able to get some space in the alley way for us to order drinks from our server. We've been on a Friday around 5pm on another day, it wasn't as busy, so definitely a great place to start and maybe end the night. In a time where craft cocktails have gotten really expensive, Bar Darling offers craft cocktails (their signature cocktails) all for $14 each. If you know Peacekeeper, you know there's a lot of thought and imagination that goes into their drinks and it definitely shows here. My favorites were the Mama J (tequila based) and the Jaji (mezcal based). The aesthetic and vibes of this place is 10/10. Definitely great for a group of friends and/or date night!

I'll note that the promotional photos online give a somewhat misleading impression of the ambiance. The actual interior is considerably more modest and utilitarian than advertised. We ended up seated outdoors beneath one of those industrial heat lamps, which was blasting uncomfortably hot air until our server kindly switched it off at our request. That said, the service was efficient and attentive. Our drinks arrived promptly despite the crowd, and the staff managed the busy room well. Nothing particularly memorable about the experience, but perfectly adequate for a casual evening out. A solid four out of five stars.

We were easily able to sit at a booth area inside. We got a lychee martini and espresso martini.

The service made up for it though, the staff came by often to check in and make sure we had drinks, which was really nice.

Final Thoughts This is a great spot for group celebrations since you can reserve tables and even bring in your own food. I'd come back again if someone suggested it, especially for another group outing.

The short rib was a touch overcooked, though the mashed potatoes it sat upon were lovely. The mac and cheese had a delicious blend of cheeses, but the pasta was too ordinary. The fried chicken that sat upon it was also plain. Service was the bright spot. Our server was warm, gracious, and patient with our large group. For a big dinner group where seating and service matter most, the restaurant has its advantages. But overall I wouldn't give it a recommendation.
