They accommodated a last minute reschedule - which, let's be honest, in today's day and age is like finding a gold mine. Second. Did I mention food that is served in heaven? A group of five of us went to dinner and we ordered almost every vegetarian dish on the menu. The olives (which came out juicy and warm), the trio of dips and the flatbread (that melted us all), that charred lettuce with a rich nutty dressing, the burrata with kiwis, oh and oh, that cauliflower. Be still, my beating heart. That food, which clearly was meant for gods and accidentally made it to our table. The shakshouka and the couscous entrees following closely behind in rich glory with that delectable cornbread that showed up straight from the oven. I am not exaggerating, dear reader, each bite of food was a gastronomic delight. We wrapped the evening with a date cake that came topped with a rich vanilla ice cream and toasted pecans and the subtle competition of the warm cake and the cold ice cream on our palates made for a perfect culmination to our dinner. And third. The person mixing the drinks back at the bar knows his business well. The mocktails and the cocktails were brilliantly refreshing. The tamarinds and the citrus looking out from the glasses wide eyed, ready to amaze. Good food is one of the few untainted pleasures of humanity. And Aziza served us heaps of it. Do yourself a favor and go savor the flavors Aziza has to offer. You shall not be disappointed.

Service was not as good though: we quickly got the drinks and food orders in, but then no-one checked on us until check time and only then asked if we wanted a refill of coffee and iced tea (about time! ), and not particularly friendly either... Another bit of letdown is the restroom, which is outside of the restaurant and you also need a code to access it

By the time we got down stairs about ten ish the place was empty, Just as well. M chose a small table by the window and we made ourselves comfortable. The condiment caddy was taking up space so I moved it over to the empty table next to ours...I noticed the ketchup. Now those of you who know me and those of you who don't. My biggest pet peeve in a restaurant besides disgusting restrooms is a place that refills their ketchup bottles. Really? I won't go into the pit falls and biological implications, do you really think you're saving money by not buying virgin ketchup in the bottle? As I would say... "it goes to character your honor". What else is going on in the kitchen if marrying ketchup is condoned? and with that I rest my case. BTW the breakfast was great. foodguy-Martin

Wow! Their fresh…read morehomemade bread is fresh and hot from the oven. It's one of life's joy to enjoy fresh homemade bread still warm from the oven. Outerland delivers. We started with their asparagus appetizer with pickled onion and a very nice aioli with trout and finely chopped walnuts. We're off to a good start with this very well thought out and composed dish. Came on a night when they serve their smashed burgers in brioche bun. It's beefy and flavorful. Very satisfying. The fries are probably twice fried. Crunchy and still retained a semi tender center. It's voodoo magic good. Also tried their sour dough pappardelle. It has a pretty pronounced fresh asparagus note. It's a very satisfying dish. The place has a cool vibe with the reclaimed wood (or maybe just old?) walls and not too brightly lit dining room. Bathroom was clean. Wait staff was professional and helpful. I wish I have it in me to try their desserts but I was already quite full. (No photos since I made all the food disappeared before the thought of photos popped into my head.

Take your sweet time making coffee. Check. Take your sweet time drinking said coffee. Check. Take your sweet time getting ready. Check. Now what? Make breakfast or go out? Maybe grab some fresh pastries & breakfast sandwiches...? Wait. It's a beautiful day. How about a nice drive out along the great highway/ocean beach? Done! A drive out to ocean beach used to mean stopping by the Cliff House but that still isn't even close to being reopened, or "reimagined" yet. Sigh. How about Dutch pancakes? Dutch pancakes means that the first stop is Outerlands. We ordered Dutch pancakes online on the way. Easy breezy. Good thing too because there was still a line for a table even though they were closing in a half hour. The hostess was personable & sweet, despite the fact that it was packed, inside & out. We then headed to Ocean Beach to enjoy our breakfast in the sea air with an ocean view. Crispy on the outside, but custardy in the inside. Not too sweet which is a plus for me; you can always alter the sweetness by asking for extra syrup. I think next time I'll request extra powdered sugar. Don't let the wait & the line scare you away. There's nothing standing between you & a very good Dutch pancake except placing an online order. 4 stars.

I've dined here more than a handful of times and every visit was memorable. Sung and his team consistently delivered exceptional food, every dish was solid and clearly made with pride. You could taste the quality and it was consistent every single time. Beyond the food, what always stood out was the hospitality. Sung genuinely made an effort to connect with his guests, remembering faces, checking in at the table and ensuring everyone felt welcomed and valued. He made sure you had a good experience and you could tell he cared. One thing I've learned on my food journey is this: follow the chef. When you find someone who pours heart into their craft, you support them wherever they go next! Looking forward to whatever Sung does next. I already know it's for sure going to be just as good!

Kothai has been one of the Inner Sunset's most delicious and innovative spots for the past few…read moreyears, so it's truly bittersweet to be writing this farewell review as they head into their last day of service. Even before this most recent visit, I'd enjoyed intimate dinners here for its creative, Korean-Thai-inspired menu that always packed an impressive punch of flavor but, dare I say, the brunch might be even better. The steak sandwich was absolutely phenomenal, with the steak seasoned and cooked to perfection and pairing beautifully with the charred onion aioli, plus a side of expertly crisped smashed potatoes that were so addicting. The steamed mussels were sumptuous and packed with umami, and I loved the two large bricks of toasted sourdough focaccia that were perfect for sopping up every last bit of the delicious dashi broth. But the pièce de résistance was the custard French toast, which I can only describe as the love child of bread pudding and tres leches cake as it was crispy on the outside but uber moist on the inside, custardy, and simply divine. Kothai will be deeply missed in the neighborhood, but I'm excited to see what's next for chef/owner Sung Park and will be first in line for whatever future project comes next.

My bartender was Israel who was quick to give recommendations on both the meal and dessert, and also made a good sazerac. The porkchop and key lime pie were both delicious, and throughout the night I had the chance to meet Samantha, and co-owners Jessica & Liza. They welcomed me to the neighborhood, shared a little bit of the story of their place, and were beyond friendly and accommodating. The decor and feeling inside the restaurant are perfect for a casual dinner and cocktail, date night, or celebration with friends. After tonight, I promise to become a regular of Violet's as my favorite place on this side of the city.

WOW!!! We made reservations after a day in Golden Gate Park through the RESY app…read more We were hoping for a good easy dinner before heading back to Petaluma. We arrived 15 minutes before our reservation and were greeted and seated within 5 minutes. The menu is reasonable and had good offerings. Both my husband and I opted for the Price Fixe 4 course dinner which was more of a tasting menu, $55.00 per person and absolutely delicious it started with a generous salad, a cup of ginger carrot soup, choice of entree and chocolate chip cookies with tahitisn vanilla milk for desert. We both had the NY steak . Every bite was delicious. We were very content but I will add if you have a large appetite you might be better ordering off the main menu. Great service, delicious food and a cozy dining room with a fireplace. We both agreed we can't wait to go back!

First off, the actual restaurant and the fireplace were so cute, very romantic and love the dim lighting. The service was also incredible. The servers and host were fabulous and attentive, and I got to meet the owner, and he was so kind. Bonus that the owner seemed like he enjoys being on the ground working with the people; and loved that he complimented me and my date. Cocktails were fabulous and very creative; probably one of the few nice cocktail bars out in the Richmond district. The food was very flavorful. My date got the steak and that was cooked with very nicely, although I think it could have use a little more chimichurri. But I got the prime rib bolognese pasta (I think that's what it was called) and that tasted so good; not as heavy as I thought it was going to be. We shared their ahi tuna, which tasted so fresh, and the dessert we got was decent (I'm not totally big on super sweet desserts but this was fine). Overall, I highly recommend coming here, and I plan on coming back as well.

My husband and I were lucky…read moreenough to get reservations, it literally took both of us clicking on the computer to get our tock reservation when it first opened. This is a husband and wife owned restaurant with two other employees and they only serve 10 people twice per night and only open on some days of the week. The couple cooking and server were very friendly and it felt like we were at their home and they were serving us a meal. They said they initially did pop ups and served meals in their home and then branched out to open up their own restaurant. Appetizer courses were light and each dish actually had some incorporation of the ramen dish in it whether it was the tare, oil, or noodles. Highlights of the meal: the chilled ramen dish with yuzu broth was absolutely amazing! There was Hokkaido uni and prawns which paired really well with the ramen and broth. I could've eaten an entire bowl of this and entire tray of uni haha The chawanmushi was amazing with real crab shredded and pieces of Hokkaido scallop. This appetizer dish was also very delicious and a definite must try For the ramen dish: the chef said he has been trying a new ramen dish. This one is fish dashi broth but also has 30% oxtail broth mixed in. It is topped with A5 Wagyu that is sous vide and seared at the end and oh my melted like butter in my mouth. I loved the broth that had miso and a spicy gochujang sauce that made the spicy miso broth delicious. Dessert was light and refreshing and yoko made her specialty pastry with a dog imprinted on it to depict their toy poodle Toto who helped inspire their restaurant journey but passed a couple years ago. Overall, such a wonderful experience and really felt like home cooked family meal with delicious food. I would definitely recommend this place if you are lucky enough to get a reservation
