This lounge is easily accessible on the right after you go through security. It is very close to…read morethe lower D gates. This is a "temporary location" and supposedly a new and fancy lounge will be christened in 2027. This current iteration of the lounge is open: 5am-11pm. I was granted access without difficulty about three hours before my flight. Typical breakfast options were being served including assorted fruit, oatmeal, grits, & lots of breakfast pastries. The hot food consisted of egg white frittatas, biscuits & gravy, chicken apple sausage, mini pancakes, bacon & vegan sausage. Items were being replenished quickly and there were a number of employees clearing plates & assisting patrons. At 11am, the staff announced last call for breakfast, & they indicated that they would be setting up for lunch. The bar is fully stocked & the coffee machines are humming. I had a 2% latte that was pleasant. On the other side of the lounge is a fully stocked tea & drip coffee station. There is also a water / water bottle refill station that is not exactly intuitive. You have to hold down the little button at the base of the faucet. Anyhoo... The space itself is nothing special or spectacular, and it was quite busy the whole time I sat here. It was more pleasant than sitting at the gate though, that is for sure! The bathrooms are adequate. L'Occitane Verveine soap is stocked, but there is no lotion. (When I went back into the bathroom before I left the lounge, the lotion had been restocked.) Shower facilities are available upon request. Overall, this is an adequate lounge that does the job, but it is not a showstopper or particularly memorable - nor does it really scream "Centurion", premium, luxury, or anything similar to that. Peace.

Had breakfast here with my family before our morning flight. It was not crowded at 5:45am and we…read morewent in right away. Check in staff was friendly. Breakfast options were the following: Biscuits & gravy- just okay. This was a little dense and heavy for my liking. Bacon- always a solid choice and perfectly cooked Sausage- tasted fine. Herbed potatoes- I enjoyed this and the veggies Egg white omelettes- Did not try this but looked fine. Pancakes- Did not try any but looked fine. Green smoothie- I enjoyed these. Oatmeal- This was fine and texture was perfect. Yogurt- Did not try this Various fruit- Pineapple, honeydew, cantaloupe, blueberries. Fresh and pineapple and melons were sweet. Pastry items: croissants, danish, cinnamon roll- just okay Staff were attentive and area was clean. I am not a breakfast person, but needed something since I was flying to the east coast.

For my first lounge experience, I have to say it was pretty nice. They had a lot of space, but it…read morewas very busy, so it was hard to find a seat. When I walked up to the buffet-style breakfast, there were no plates--only bowls. That made it a lot harder to grab what I actually wanted. I eventually found a seat and tried to eat, but it was so crowded that there weren't any seats with tables available. I ended up finding another spot with a ledge, so that worked. The eggs were good, but there was no cream cheese for the bagels. After toasting one and realizing there wasn't any cream cheese, I had to eat it dry. I'd suggest adding that to the spread--no pun intended. I tried the strawberry-infused water, and it wasn't very good, but the orange juice was pretty good. They also had a robot moving around, though I'm not sure what its purpose was. There were people collecting trash and plates, which helped keep everything clean. Overall, I think I would go back if I had the chance.

The experience here is quite underwhelming especially for an airport with the caliber of SFO…read more But the selection of decent lounges in terminal A is quite limited which is a disappointment. Food & beverage selection is mediocre at best, and this is being generous. The upside is that staff is quite friendly for the most part. The vibe is somewhat dead and not very inviting especially with the fluorescent lighting reminiscent of the backrooms movie feel. Not sure if I'd come back here again.

This lounge is just mediocre to me because it's a little small and the food selection is limited. They do offer Asian style food options if your taste is for Asian food. The food we had was tasty. It will definitely get you by until your in-flight meal on an international flight. Service was good and they come by to clear plates and cups frequently. Personally I like the Virgin Atlantic Lounge better, but their hours and acceptance of Priority Pass is more limited than China Airlines Lounge. Not sure if this lounge has showers, but the Virgin Atlantic one does. Overall, it's a nice place to pass your time while waiting for your flight.

Hubby & I dropped in a couple of weeks ago…read more There's a very inviting bar with a great mixologist. He was very personable and knew a lot about San Francisco where we reside. Food wise - more offerings than the other United lounges. There's a sit down restaurant onsite also. I heard the hostess ask for proof of your boarding pass. I wonder why. You already had to show it up at the front desk. It was our first experience in the Polaris lounge. If we're flying Polaris again we'll have to try the sit down restaurant onsite.

Nice to see some local drinks on the menu!

This is the only Delta Sky Club we've been to that happened to serve congee during our visit…read more Pretty cool. Then again, this is San Francisco. This is the only Delta Sky Club at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). It's located next to Gate C3 in Harvey Milk Terminal 1. We visited around 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM on a Sunday. During this time, the buffet changed from breakfast to lunch, so we got to try both menus. The congee was served during breakfast. Overall, we thought the food was good for Sky Club standards. The oranges here were much better than the oranges we had the same day at the Delta Sky Club in Atlanta (near Gate A17). This lounge did get quite crowded at one point and service was non-existent/not the best compared to many Sky Clubs we've been to in recent months. However, I understand that SFO is not a Delta hub and, therefore, the airport does not have multiple Sky Clubs and just this one is not as big as, say, the ones in Atlanta, New York, and Los Angeles. Aesthetically, this lounge is modern and generally on par with Sky Clubs at other non-Delta-hub airports. It opened on September 16, 2015.

The check in is quick and the staff was very helpful in giving us a rundown of the lay out of the lounge. Food was great. They had a salad bar and also some hot options. There were 2 options of soup, pulled pork, black forbidden rice, and veggies. Flavor wise, everything was delicious. There's also a pancake machine available the whole day and desserts. There is a separate bar area offering some complimentary drinks and also the option for upgraded "premium" spirits. As well as a coffee bar area with a barista available to make lattes, cappuccinos and more. There is a lot of seating area, and it's spaced out so you're not crowded in one area. Great space for lounging!

Alaska Airlines Lounge -- SFO Terminal 1…read more Red-eye out of Honolulu. Three hours to kill before the next flight. Walking off a plane at that hour, you are not looking for much, just somewhere quiet to land. The Alaska Lounge was right across from our gate. First time in, and the staff made it feel like they were glad we showed up. Friendly, genuine, no airport-zombie energy. The space is impressive. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the tarmac and the hillside, plenty of natural light, and seating for every mood: work tables, soft chairs, window loungers, even a private booth if you need to take a call. I planted myself at a window seat and didn't move. The bar is well-stocked. What stood out was having an actual barista on-site. Oat milk latte and a bowl of steel cut oatmeal, exactly what I needed at that hour. One honest note: the food selection was thin and several items needed restocking when we came through. The staff were apologetic and moved quickly, which matters. But the variety just wasn't there. Solid lounge. Good people. Great space. The food program has room to grow into what the rest of the experience already delivers.
