RT Bistro has been on our list since it opened, and it absolutely delivered. Rich Table's newest venture brings the same thoughtful, detail-oriented approach, and you can feel it in every single dish. The menu is a bit smaller than that of RT and has some of the best dishes from RT. First things first: the plateware. Every single dish arrived on custom-made ceramics designed specifically for RT Bistro. It sounds like a small thing, but it genuinely elevated the whole experience and made every plate feel like it was a moment. Now, for the food: The sweet potato tempura was a fantastic way to kick things off - crispy, light, and with just the right balance of sweet and savory. It is very similar to honey walnut shrimp (just substitute shrimp for sweet potato) The Dungeness crab appetizer was a must-order, and even more so when you pair it with the sourdough bread. Honestly, do not skip this combination - the bread soaks it all up perfectly! The braised pork cheek was rich and fall-apart tender. I'll be honest, it wasn't quite what I expected visually (for some reason I was expecting a whole piece of braised pork...odd me); it was like a comfort bowl of meat + mashed potatoes. The texture absolutely won me over. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection - one of those bites where everything just clicks! Really loved the fatty parts too :) The cocktail program deserves its own shoutout. We tried two and both were spot on (shiso fine, ruby "soha"); beautifully crafted and not overdone. A strong showing for a relatively new spot Oh yes, and the dessert; this time we got the chocolate cake - super moist, warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. All in all, this is the kind of place where every element feels considered - the food, the drinks, the dishes they're served on. Can't wait to come back and work through more of the menu! read more

being the sister of rich table, they managed to price their dishes higher than average. pretty casual vibe, but service was great. they also gave us a japanese black pine sapling (signifying everlasting love) as an anniversary gift which was really thoughtful! we ordered the: - aged beef dumpling ($5) - kanpachi crudo ($21) - dungeness crab thermidor ($31) - cali croque ($16) - rt bistro burger ($30) - chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream I liked the crudo and crab the best. the dumpling wrapper was a little hard, and the croque was a bit salty (I couldn't really taste the date butter, but if you love anything cheesy you'd like this). the burger was more rare to medium rare, but it wasn't mindblowing. overall the food tasted great but the prices are definitely on the higher end read more

Very disappointing. One memorable element, the salad. It was a seasonal special with snap peas (or english peas?) and was wonderful. The burger is vastly over-rated. (so perhaps suffers from high expectations). The candied sweet potatoes were so sweet with more of a dessert than a side dish. Hard to say on the ambiance; we were outside, it was quite rainy, and not all the heaters were working. The inside likely has much more ambiance. read more

Overall, I thought RT Bistro was just fine, definitively not as impressive as Rich Table but the prices are still high. First impressions were thrown off by a 35 minute wait past our reservation time to get seated. They did provide a glass of wine while we waited and gave us a dessert on the house which made up for it. The outdoor seating threw off my experience a bit because the food cooled too fast. Overall, everything was solid but nothing blew my mind away. Caviar porcini donuts were the best thing but you can get that at Rich Table. Burger and duck were probably my next two most liked dishes. Prices again were not cheap and I think I much prefer Rich Table over RT Bistro. Maybe will come try it again since the service was really nice and they tried to make up for the setback. read more

RT Bistro - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

TLDR - great service. Great food. Not so amazing prices. Came here for dinner last night with my husband. We had a fantastic dinner! Service was great and the food came quick. We ordered -bread and butter -endive pear -burger -duck Everything was absolutely delicious. Amongst the frenzy of smash burgers, this old school thick and juicy burger with a perfect sauce stands out as a classic, what Nopa's burger used to be. Truly delicious! The duck was also great as were the apps. My only complaint is it's a bit pricey for what you get. The bread and butter is $8 and you get literally one thick piece lol. The endive pear was ~$15 and was two small skewers of pear. OH AND the fries. Not good at all tbh. Most gigantic steak fries you've ever seen, very dry and grainy inside. Probably had an entire 2 potatoes on my plate. But it kept me from over stuffing myself :) All in all so worth it, though. Will be back read more

RT Bistro - Burger - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

4.25 STARS I was able to score same day rezzies at my AARP dinner time of 5:15 pm so baby, we celebrating Chinese New Year at RT Bistro! Don't mind me, I'm in my woo woo crazy girl energy era. In all seriousness, rezzies are hard to score at one-month young, RT Bistro unless you want to eat after 9 pm. IMO, OpenTable's priority notification is whacked (or it's my phone). You're better off checking after midnight or keep refreshing the app for cancellations. Outdoor parklet seating is in the works which will increase capacity. M E N U American Bistro Fare with French and AZN influences. The menu also features hits from their sister restos (Rich Table & Rich Table Rotisserie) like RT's sourdough bread, dried porcini donuts, and burger, and RTR's chicken fat rice. And, OFC their signature element of douglas fir makes several appearances. Beer, wine, and cocktails available. 6% SF surcharge. F O O D * Bread & Butter: RT Sourdough w/ wild fennel, cultured butter ($7): https://tinyurl.com/2bduseaj Warm, chewy crust and fluffy soft interior with a subtle tang. Served with a creamy, silky smooth butter. Wish the bread had more char to enhance the flavor. * Kanpachi Crudo w/ tawainese five flavor sauce, mandarin ($21): https://tinyurl.com/yeysb9x6 Fav app, there's a vibrant balance of sweet, sour, salty, spicy, and umami that elevated the mild amberjack. GET THIS! * Dungeness Crab Thermidor w/ shared cultures miso, pomelo, champignon de paris ($29): https://tinyurl.com/3uw3dtab A modern spin on a French classic - fresh chunks of crab meat is mixed with earthy mushrooms and miso infused sauce, placed back in its shell and broiled. Rich and indulgent with the pomelo doing little to lighten the dish. I wished we requested that the sourdough to be served with this. * SF Duck L'Orange w/ mandarin sweet & sour, chicory, orange honey, luna rice ($49): https://tinyurl.com/bdwnpybu A hapa baby, the seared duck breast was tender and meaty with a crispy, nicely rendered skin. Some pieces were overdone to medium well tho. The sauce is an ode to Chinatown's sweet & sour sauce, punchy and acidic with the chicory's slight bitterness rounding out the richness. Served in a claypot, RTR's chicken fat rice was bomb! Think hainan chicken rice infused with the scallion oil, deeply flavorful and aromatic. If a crispy rice crust formed in the earthenware, it would have taken it to the next level. * RT Bistro Burger w/ dill-pickled onion, ca cheddar, RT bistro sauce, triple cooked fries ($29): https://tinyurl.com/5jy9w5b3 No bistro menu is complete without a burger, so RT Bistro brought over RT's off-menu fav. Cooked on a wood-fired grill, the thicccc patty is incredibly juicy and beefy, nestled in a soft, housemade brioche bun. The melty cheddar adds a creamy sharpness...BUT the tang and acidity from the house burger sauce and pickled onions were muted, making each bite heavy. The triple-cooked fries in beef tallow were not my jam, they were like clunky bricks. Don't get me wrong, it's a delicious chef-driven burger, but didn't quite live up to the crazy hype. * Ice Box Pie w/ meyer lemon, graham cracker ($15): https://tinyurl.com/46jepzdz Creamy, citrusy lemon custard topped with airy whipped cream and crushed graham crackers for texture. To nitpick, I was hoping for more tartness but it was otherwise, a perfectly light and not too sweet dessert to refresh the palate. S E R V I C E Polished service with timely delivery of dishes. A M B I A N C E Cabin meets lively bistro with moody lighting, firewood cubbies, and antler skull. The dozen tables are packed SO close, making it hard to have a convo without overhearing everyone else's. Overall, we had an enjoyable meal, though some elements fell short of making certain dishes truly shine. One of the servers was hyping up the steak so I'm coming back for ya, moo moo raw! read more

Rich Table's new more casual restaurant lived up to all my expectations! The food was excellent, the ambiance was a vibe and the service was great. I made a reservation online a month or so ahead of time. We started with the bistro salad, it was solid but didn't blow me away. For our mains, we got the one layer lasagna, the duck, and the burger. All were excellent! The lasagna was cheesy and had great truffle flavor. The duck was tender and delicious with the citrus sauce. It also came with Japanese rice cooked in a claypot. The burger was also great! Very juicy and the fries were fantastic. Potato-y and perfectly crispy, covered in umami powder. We got the ice box pie for dessert. It was solid. Overall it was a great meal! I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I've been a big fan of their sister restaurants RT Rotisserie and Rich Table for years. So when I heard they were opening up a new restaurant just a block away from them, I couldn't wait to try it out. Food wise, my partner and I got 2 appetizers and 2 entrees, but we probably should've added 1-2 more dishes to feel full . Something unique I noticed was that nearly dish had some sort of fruit. So for the kampachi appetizer, it had some mandarins and an Asian zingy sauce which came together very well. The crab was like a delicious seafoody risotto topped with grapefruit. But the seafoody and creamy taste was a lot so I wish it came with chips. The trout entree was small but the pomegranates mixed with the tartar sauce was so unique and delicious. This establishment makes some of the best red meat / chicken / fries, which means that the burger and fries were absolutely stellar. Perfectly medium rare, small enough to hold in my hands without falling apart, and the bread was so soft. The fries were even better, delightfully umami flavored like their sister restaurant, R.T. Rotisserie, but in a crispy and crunchy wedge shape. The only reason why this place isn't a 5/5 is because while we were lucky enough to snag a reservation, we still had to wait an additional 20 minutes before we got seated. Moreover, that the seats next to us were extremely close so we could hear our neighbors conversation and see their food. I also had to remind the host twice for my boxed to-go food and coat. I hope they improve their ambiance soon! read more

New hot restaurant in the neighborhood, I had to book a few weeks out for an available table on a week day. Upon arrival at the restaurant at our reservation, there is a slightly longer than usual wait for our table to be ready (15min), but after that, everything from service to food, was great across the board. The sourdough bread with butter was on the house, yet it was so carefully made and super flavorful and toasted perfectly; the roasted cauliflower starter dish was quite pleasantly unique and offered almost a meaty taste in terms of its texture because it's a big chuck of cauliflower roasted whole. The RT bistro burger super juicy, but the real highlight would be the duck Lo'Range. This restaurant definitely has the potential to go for Michelin if it can improve its time management to seat guests more timely.

This is NOT the place for your pre-show dinner because our service was over 1.5 hours for no drinks, one app (that is raw), 2 entrees, and a dessert (also pre-made). The food was just ok. There were a mix of hits and misses. The biggest hit for me was the duck - perfectly seared and well-rendered skin. I thought the orange sauce was good, but a bit overpowering since it coated the entire plate and was in the claypot. There wasn't much crispy rice on the bottom of the donabe either. The lemon dessert was a great way to end the night. The lasagne was really great - the crispy edges and Point Reyes truffle toma really make this dish incredibly delicious. The miss was the beef tartare. I couldn't really taste the meat because it was overwhelmed by sesame oil. The bread was hard enough to crack a tooth. The service was by far the slowest ever. Each plate had a 30 minute interlude between. I don't know if the waitress had a personal vendetta against our table, but tables of 2 sat after us finished before we did. The restaurant was busy so it's somewhat understandable, but it was weird other tables got served before us when then sat after us. At this price tag, I expect better service. This is a cozy date spot, but not if you are pressed for time. read more

I didn't know I could love food as much as this Let me be honest the only exposure I and prior to this full dining was the famous "puffs" I had at Outsidelands. In that moment maybe because it had cooled down by the time I tried it but I was not impressed. It's important to always give things another chance and they delivered! Note to self: eat things immediately before it cools down. I was BLOWN AWAY. Everything was phenomenal!! Every dish hit! I honestly can't decide what to recommend more. I'm not duck person but even that was divine and with that rice?? So good! I am also not a rice person. The team was also phenomenal! It was Michelin level service. They cleaned the table and provided the utensils needed. Highly recommend coming here! read more

Arrived 20 minutes before our reservation and were seated right away--impressive, especially since it was the same day RT Bistro was featured in SF Gate (https://www.sfgate.com/food/article/sf-best-new-restaurant-21305023.php). (And I overheard the mayor was just here three days ago...the overhearing is a thing.) A M B I A N C E: The place was understandably packed. A walk-in ahead of us was quoted a 90‑minute wait, left for a bar, and as we were leaving, we're back in the entry way and they were told it'd be about 20 more minutes. This is definitely a reservations-are-your-friend kind of spot. F O O D: - The Kaluga caviar with dried porcini donuts was rich and indulgent. The doughnuts reminded me of the asian fried doughy sticks in ball form. - The SF Duck l'Orange entrée was my favorite! It was beautifully done and paired with rice cooked in a donabe (clay pot), which added those crispy, slightly "burnt" rice textures that make everything better. The clay pot was very cool (though very hot - ouch!) and reminded me of a palayok, which made the dish even more special. - We also split the burger, cooked perfectly medium rare and incredibly juicy. The fries get lots of love, but they didn't quite stand out for me. S E R V I C E: Service was excellent! Joel was amazing, attentive, friendly, and handled the busy night effortlessly. Plus a charmer! One star off only because the space is very intimate. Tables are very close. Even in the hustle and bustle and noise, you can definitely hear neighboring tables, which led to a few overheard moments - both from others and us, but honestly, it ultimately created a quirky, communal vibe rather than a negative one. Even though we were seated next to the door, the space was pretty warm/humid. Would happily return for the food and service....ill just be ready to dine a little closer to my neighbors next time. read more

The Rich Table team put together another banger with RT Bistro. It's such a cute space with a warm wooden interior that makes you feel like you're at a Tahoe cabin. Our server was nice and full of energy, with the whole team looking fully coordinated. There were some familiar dishes on the menu like the porcini donuts, and everything on the menu looked delicious. Tables are a bit tight inside and we shared a six-top with a couple next to us, but we still felt very comfortable. We started with the kaluga caviar and porcini donuts, shinko pear and kanpachi crudo. All were delicious, but the pear was a favorite. The crisp bite with creamy chèvre and salty pancetta was a lovely combination. We then had the one layer lasagna, light, creamy and plenty of crispy edges. For our entrees, I had the SF duck l'orange. The crispy wing along with the tender leg meat was on point. It came with lots of flavorful chicory and had a great savory sweet balance. The rice was prepared in a donabe that had some nice crispy rice pieces as well. I love a good "burnt" clay pot rice and would have loved more crispy pieces, but I get it that not everyone enjoys that. My companions enjoyed the bistro burger and the brassica 'scampi.' The burger looked amazing and I'll have to try it next time as everyone around me seemed to be ordering it. I appreciated that the server confirmed that the scampi had greens and broccoli and not shrimp, making it a nice vegetarian option. To finish we had the ice box lemon meyer pie, nicely sweet and small enough to be a palate cleanser for the three of us. All in all, I am excited for this new place and applaud the RT team for what looks to be a great gathering space, if only they were a little bigger. I'm sure the demand is going to be high to check out this warm and new inviting spot. read more

First of all, I love Rich Table but RT Bistro is a vibe. From the moment we walked in, Johnny greeted us and knew we were celebrating a birthday. The server Lorelei (I hope I got the name right) was friendly and she went over the menu highlights. She was not wrong on her recommendations. Each dish was well thought out, balanced, and each bite delicious. Would definitely go back for the RT burger! Oh and 2 homemade chocolate chip cookies for the birthday boy! Johnny was so friendly and took the time to chat with us after to make sure everything was good. It truly was. read more

As a staunch fan of RT Rotisserie, I was eager to see how RT Bistro would bridge the gap to Rich Table. Sadly it didn't stick the landing of a happy marriage between the fast casual magic of RTR and the loftier ambitions of Rich Table. The service was friendly and the dishes very photogenic, but the flavors lacked punch, the portions were miniature and the meal was disappointing. I was especially excited for the Spring Pea "Caesar" given its use of a vegetarian dressing, but for $21, I got a measly stack of bland peas. The RT Bistro Salad was more voluminous but lacked a hero flavor, merely an amalgam of roughage without a memorable component. Meanwhile, the Sweet Potato Tempura was a winner, but didn't rescue the foundering meal. RT Bistro simply doesn't make a case for itself as a worthwhile alternative to either of its siblings. Either its prices need to be adjusted for what they actually offer or the cuisine needs to level up. For my money, RTR is still the team to beat and overshadows this new kid on the block. read more

3.8 stars. overall a decent meal. in order of fave to least fave: fave was the caviar with porcini doughnuts. this combo was so good! we also enjoyed the duck - flavorful and tender, paired really well with the koshihkari rice. dungeness crab was good but kind of small for sharing. burger was super juicy but the bun was chewy and also soggy on the bottom - we loved the triple fried potatoes tho! the pear and sweet potato tempura were both dishes with sweet/salt flavors that didn't play well together IMO. the service was amazing, we had a great time, the food was good but nothing too special. worth a try as i'm sure their menu rotates! read more

I went to RT Bistro on a Friday night after having made a reservation. The food was delicious! The kanpachi crudo was tasty although the portion was a bit small, and the five spice didn't come through. The flavor was still good, though. The duck l'orange was cooked very well and super tasty, we loved that it came with rice as well. Our favorite dish was the burger! Everything worked so well together and the sauce was so addictive. The fries were also delicious and seasoned well, although a little bit thick for our liking. The service was excellent although the space was a bit crowded. read more

4 stars rounded down to 3 due to the slowest service ever. We had an 8:45pm reservation on a Monday, & the restaurant was still very busy. We ordered the beef tartare, lasanga, duck, & 1 dessert. The duck & crispy rice side that it comes with was very delicious! The bread that came with the tartare was a bit too hard in my opinion. The Meyer lemon dessert was very light & a good finisher. However, there was a consistent 20 minute wait inbetween each dish. When we first ordered, the waiter literally said "your food will be out swiftly", & it was in fact the opposite of swift. We consistently saw tables that were sat after us get served before us. Our total time in the restaurant was over 1.5 hours for 4 dishes ordered & no additional drinks. read more

I had such an incredible meal dining at Rich Table last year I was excited to try RT Bistro. RT Bistro is right next to Rich Table and it's presented as a bit more casual but it still has a great ambiance and many dishes that are from the Rich Table menu or variations on them. Service by Dana was excellent. She was very thorough and attentive to our table throughout our meal which was great. Some of the standout dishes for us were the small bites like Kaluga caviar w/ porcini donuts. A light airy bite of savory fried dough with a dollop of caviar. What's not to like? The bread and butter and black truffle hen egg were also excellent. We also really enjoyed the braised oxtail which comes out as one huge piece on a bed of pomme puree that is incredibly tender and delicious. I thought the burger was great and I'd recommend having it prepared medium rare as the kitchen recommends for maximum juiciness. All in all a great meal and I'm looking forward to my next visit to RT Bistro. read more

got dinner here with friends, general consensus is that it is fine. our cocktails were great, particularly liked shiso fine and squeeze the day. hamachi crudo did indeed have some five spice and strawberries were sweet, the sauce was overpowering imo. dungeness crab thermidor was interesting but i didn't notice the miso and don't think the pomelo was a particularly good pairing. one layer lasagna sounded interesting but really reminded me of a cheese 蛋饼(egg pancake)/omelette. had high hopes for the duck breast, it seemed to be crusted in rainbow peppercorn but there wasn't much flavor there. accompanying sweet sauce was too overwhelming and reminded me of american chinese food rather than duck l'orange. rice, though it comes with the duck breast, does nothing with it and is kind of oily (?) reminiscent of 锅巴 but not crisped enough. pork cheek was the best well rounded dish probably because the fusion touches aren't as apparent. i see that they're trying to play with asian flavors but none came off well to me. i am whelmed. our waiter was very nice, space is pretty small read more

RT Bistro is the less formal bistro restaurant from the folks at Rich Table. Chef De cuisine Bill Wang. It is located Next door to Rich Table and is the less fine dining brother. This is a hard reservation right now, we show up 10 minutes before they opened (on a Friday) and walked in. This is a small restaurant with about a dozen tables hence the difficulty in getting a rez. The place is loud and filled with folks in the 30-50's range. High 4.5 rating on Yelp and Google. Food is very good as is the service. We still like Rich Table next door more. Prices are about the same here. Narrow menu for those with dietary requirements so take a look at it. Vegetarians beware. Safety Pluses - Online menu. Food Review: Bee's Teas ($17) Yuzu-Cinnamon verus, Robos Chai himon is an expensive non alcohol cocktail. Nice honey flavor. 8/10 Bread & Butter ($7) House made RT Sourdough wild fennel with house cultured butter was fantastic. Grilled up bread with a big dolup of butter. Yum. They sell loaves of bread to go for $9. 10/10 Shiko Pear ($15) chevre House made pancetta, lemon thyme sounds simple but works well. Sweet, savory action along with perfect fruit. 10/10 Bistro Salad ($23) Sherry Vinaigrette, carrots, herbs is beautifully arranged and piled high. Lots of radicchio. Too much sour dressing though. 8/10 Mt Lassen Trout ($35) Pomegranate tartar sauce, little gems, dijon Vinaigrette was cooked just right and a solid portion size. The pomegranate sauce was a bit hit or miss. 8.5/10 SF Duck L'orange ($49) mandarin Sweet n Sour cherry orange honey, luna rice was the best entree that night. Several medium rare pieces of duck in a nice sauce. Koshihikari rice topped with cooked radicchio comes in a claypot. Frankly there was too much radicchio in the salad already! 9/10 Overall - Very Good Food - Very Good Decor - Very Good Service - Very Good Value - Good Would we come back - No read more

We had an early reservation and entered the cozy, yet empty dining room. In moments it was bustling and never let up. Everyone on the team was warm and attentive. The food was beyond! You must start with the bread & butter, just do it. We had a broad selection of dishes and each was incredible! Wine selection is narrow yet perfectly curated. This gem lives up to the hype and would say is every bit if not better than its "mother-ship" on the corner. read more

Excellent but expensive place. Everything was delicious, unexpected flavor combinations that work well, like in the one layer lasagna and the roasted asparagus with pistachios and basil. The desserts are amazing! The portions kind of on the smaller side. Very noisy place, so it is difficult to have a conversation. What prompted me to write the review is that while the food and the service are excellent and the ambiance very chic, be prepared to pay for it. It all comes with a hefty price -- our check was over $700 for 5 people - family style meal plus one hamburger, and NO wine or cocktails. I have had similarly excellent quality dinners in NYC, London and Tokyo in the past 3 months for a more reasonable price, so I will not be coming back to this lovely place, I tried it, it's excellent but it felt pricey to me. read more

Service was subpar for a restaurant this expensive. We entered and weren't seen by a host for 5 minutes, were seated 20 minutes after our reservation but was seated at a table that was available the entire time we were waiting. The host seemed maybe new at his job? Food runner tried to take our appetizer 2 minutes after it arrived even though we clearly weren't done. Seems like they're still working out the kinks. The food is pretty good but easily comparable to options in SF that have better service for the price. Some of the food seemed strangely under seasoned, which I honestly think might've just been the food staff that night as RT is known to have quite good food. Appetizers are better than the mains, front load on those and maybe split a main or get something small. read more

Sat outside in their patio. It was cramped, I had to constantly scoot my chair in so the server could pass through. You could also hear others' convos really easily. Service was good. Food took a long time, our entrees took maybe 30-40 min from the previous app. The man sitting next to us was there solo celebrating the evening before the start of his new job and ended up taking his order to go because of the wait. Food was disappointing. The bistro salad recommended by the server was bitter and lacked in flavor, overpowered by dill and lemon. The burger just tasted like beef, no flavor from any sauces or veggies really besides that. The fries were thick, almost like wedges but really dry like chalk. The one pan lasagna was decent, if you don't mind a little sweet w/ savory. Overall, can't say I'd recommend for the price. read more

I haven't eaten at Rich Table in a while but love it. I wondered what could be better/different about RTB, but it's just a completely different experience because of the atmosphere.

And the dessert, an inventive take on lemon custard with graham crackers and whipped cream, was perfect. The vibe is homey, too. Can't say enough great things about this new neighborhood gem. read more
