Sens burger
Maggie W.

I came here for a team lunch and I had the Sens burger and the Mediterranean spreads. The burger had a delicious buttery brioche bun, and the fries were yummy! The spreads were all delicious and the pita was warm and fluffy. Service was good, we had our waters get continually topped up. This restaurant comes with a beautiful view of the Ferry building. I would definitely come here again.

Brussel sprouts
Lois R.

Ate here on a recent trip to San Francisco. The service was excellent and I loved the view of the Bay Bridge. My friend and I shared both the black cod and the pork chop. The latter was good but not easy to share. My cousin had the Brussel sprouts and paella, which was large enough to take some home. She also started the meal with the arancini and let us taste. I'd never had it before but it was delicious, with great texture outside and in, and I will try again next time I have the opportunity. She didn't like the espresso and only had one sip, but I didn't ask for details. She did like the soft serve dessert, which was a very large serving, and every time she thought she was done, she would continue to go back for more bites.

Very awesome restaurant, with great ambience, comfort, great food and excellent service. Sens has been a SF stable for nearly 20 years. The restaurant is tucked away near the Hyatt Regency / walking‐bridge area in San Francisco. at the 4 Embarcadero Center, Promenade Level above ground, and is a local / business area favorite. Service is always on point, professional, knowledgeable and prompt. Food is always fresh and great tasting. For a business lunch, they also offer a 2-course at $38 and 3-course at $42. Great restaurant with great food!

Charcuterie board
May W.

Good spot for a corporate happy hour, but the bar gets pretty loud and there isn't that much seating. Location can't be beat since it's right on the Embarcadero and they also have an outdoor patio overlooking the bay. They have a happy hour menu 3:30-6pm. We ordered the following: - Charcuterie board $22 - good, but nothing unique - fries $9 - ok - Mushroom and Pepperoni pizza - both $22 were delicious - hummus platter $19 - ok - arancini $12 - comes with 4 and delicious Also had the sangria and it was a pretty generous pour. Overall, good vibe, and atmosphere for quick happy hours. Note: the bathroom is a bit hard to find, but in the middle of the restaurant with blue lights above.

Dips and pita
Andres N.

Came here for HH after work. Was able to sit outside and enjoy the air and nice views of the ferry building, water, and surrounding area. The inside of the restaurant itself is quite charming too but I really enjoyed being out on their patio as they are up on the 3rd floor. Got the sangria and a couple of bites. To me their sangria tasted watered down and not as flavorful as others I have tried. Their pita was served warm and well seasoned. I liked all the dips. They tasted fresh but could have used a bit more seasoning. We ordered the Lamb skewers since the menu said they had a pomegranate sauce which sounded great but when we got them the sauce was nowhere to be found nor could we taste it. A side of it would have been nice to have. Service was great and our server was friendly. Overall, nice views and atmosphere but both food and drinks could use more flavor. Maybe I'd try something different next time.

Inside
Claudine R.

This space is really beautiful but every time I come in, it's always without reservations and all their tables are usually booked so I would recommend making a reservation. They have a lot of work events at this spot. It's a little tricky to find this place, but you have to go up to the second or third floor and it's right next to the hotel. The food is pretty good, but I've only ordered things on the happy hour menu so I need to try more.

Jalapeño corn bread
Stephanie D.

This place I will forever hold close to my heart. A couple of years ago, my now husband reunited here after so many years. We recently went back, and I think we ordered the same thing. The jalapeño corn bread and the friend chicken. We initially just wanted to stop by for drinks but after talking for so long, we decided to order and early dinner. The ambiance is always amazing since you have an amazing view of Embarcadero and also playing great music w a DJ!

Happy hour menu
Itzak H.

Sens was perfectly fine. We went as a group of six for happy hour just to get a couple of drinks. Sitting outside was nice as you could get the mix of the cold air as well as the nice warm glow from the heaters. The service was a bit slow but I suppose for happy hour it made sense. There was a big reunion happening at the same time so a lot of attention was being paid there as well. The drinks aren't nothing to rave about and they are quite privy. Even the non alcoholic mixed drinks for some reason are always very expensive which just doesn't sit very well with me. Overall, a nice place to sit and look out onto the Embarcadero but nothing worth going out of the way for.

Roasted Free Range Chicken Bar Menu Dinner
Sandy L.

Sens is yummy! We stopped by for a team happy hour and it was a beautiful ambiance. Keep in mind the happy hour menu portions are very tiny and I would double servings if you're coming here with a large group. The lamb skewers and burger were really good! Everything else was good as well but didnt stand out to me. Service is great and accommodating, they were packed when we went but I felt like they gave us adequate attention especially as a large group. I

Pasta
Amanda S.

We came for a large group dinner and the menu selected included appetizer of dips (trio) and chicken meatballs. The main courses were served family style with options for steak, salmon and tomato pasta. One will expect that the food would take a while to be served due to the size of the group. The pace was a bit slow which allowed for plenty of drinks. They had a nice wine selection and the servers kept our glasses filled. Cheers!

Steak
Travis W.

Fantastic restaurant with a world class view! I had the Mediterranean appetizer (hummus etc.) and the steak. Both were delicious. Seated at the window with a nice view of the Embarcadero and Ferry Building. Wine was great. Service was perfect. The Hyatt next door has a bridge connecting to the restaurant entrance.

After a terrible experience at a previous restaurant and then searching for a lunch spot, we decided to go to Sens. Wow! This really made our afternoon. Service was wonderful. Food was delicious. The bartender Juan Carlos was so nice and hospitable. Our server An-Tuyen was so sweet and very attentive. We sat outside on a beautiful afternoon. We ordered the oysters (perfection), the Trio Spread, and chicken sliders. Thank you to all of you for making our day better! We will definitely be back

Marc T.

Had the pleasure of dining here on a Tuesday night around 7 pm for a team dinner! Great location at the Embarcadero center with a great view of the city. Tight interior though when you have a large party, but we were sat immediately and service was smooth and attentive. We ordered family style for appetizers and ordered individual entrees. Appetizers: - Pita Bread: soft, fluffy, and crunchy - Crab Dip: creamy dip with soft crab cakes - Rib Skewers: delicious cuts of meat, great char My main: Steak with Fries - Fries were the best side of the table with it being crunch, salty, and delicious - The steak was satisfactory, but it was really under flavored because of a lack of seasoning. Needed more salt Great dinner experience with the team

Casual is fine.

What time does Happy hour end?

They are open for everything now. Their hours are on their website.

Is this the best spot for New Year dinner? Pls share your thoughts. Thanks.

I think the view is good

Can I bring my puppy in to the outside patio area? :)

No. It's a restaurant and unless it's a registered service dog why would you want to?

One thing about me, I absolutely love to dance! The only thing is, the older I get, the less I find…read morespots where I can dance to great oldies, so when I found out about Battle of the decades every Friday at Monroe, I knew I had to try it out! Arrived at 5:30 and was surprised when I saw a small but decent amount of folks here. When I approached the bar and got my first drink, I understood why folks were there so early....the drinks were a buck! Such a steal and great way to get folks in. The concept of battle of the decades is great too! Each hour is a different decade of music,starting with the 60's. I spent a few hours dancing from 60's-80's music until about 8pm (perfect for an old millennial like me) until the place filled up. Totally great night at Monroe. Cheap drink specials, great music, and I was able to get in bed by 8:30pm. I'll definitely be back again.

Located on Broadway in North Beach, it's always high energy and popping, but I've never had any issues getting in. Also love that there's no cover charge for women, so I can just enjoy the night with my friends here without having to pay the equivalent price of a drink before I've even stepped inside. Even with the club frequently packed, especially the later in the night you go, I find the facilities pretty clean compared to many other similar lounges. It's also conveniently located near late night pizza and crêpe eateries that are still open after Monroe closes for the win, which makes it an all-around no brainer to choose going here versus other venues.

It was really nice to see the sunlight come through on the daytime with the open roof concept. The music was a lovely experience as well. I really enjoyed it. Given how packed it was, I stood the entire time, even though I had gotten there probably 15 minutes before the show started. There was a huge line for the coffee when I arrived that didn't let up until halfway through the show. They are doing this again in September and I would recommend if you are in the area. The only thing that would have made it better would have been less people given the amount of chatter and distraction of people walking by. I'm curious as to what this venue looks like in other set ups and at different times of the day because it is beautiful, what a nice spot in San Francisco.

Kimpton Alton is classified as on a 4-star hotel, but I give them 5 stars for going above and beyond. My partner booked through AMEX, and we checked in on a weekday evening. There was no room upgrade available; however, hotel staff knew that we were in town for a special occasion. Yveey at the front desk was a pleasure to work with, and she made my birthday stay one to remember! I was so delighted by the complimentary treats the team brought up to our room. We arrived just in time for social hour too, which includes complimentary beer/wine/cider from 5-6pm everyday! Kimpton Alton is located steps away from Fisherman's Wharf, and we walked and took streetcars to get around the city.

It has a great sound system, a mic + amp for speeches and announcements, a large bar space and kitchen, outdoor heaters, a spacious restroom, separate boardroom...more than we could've hoped. The layout, with large indoor and outdoor areas, was great for people who wanted a quieter refuge and for those who wanted to feel like part of the crowd. The space feels large but also intimate, and even with a small setup and cleanup crew, it was entirely manageable. Every one of our guests was impressed with the space and had a blast. I want to give special props to our contact Nathalia, who helped us with the entire process from booking to completion and follow-up. We were able to visit the space several times, and she showed us how all of its features worked. She made us feel welcome...like the space truly was ours for the day and not just a rental space.

He helped me get everything done quickly and efficiently. This was also around the holidays, so I'm especially grateful for the extra effort. NEON is a co-working space, but it has such a friendly, down-to-earth vibe. I really appreciate their flexible pricing model. You can pay for a day pass ($25) or by the hour ($5), which makes it affordable without feeling locked into a subscription you have to constantly justify. I'll definitely be coming back to do work here more often, meet people, and enjoy the amenities. There's even an outdoor space, which is a great bonus.
