Espresso martini and prosecco
Lillian J.

Always consistently a good service and vibe and Demi agrees ! Been coming for like 10 years

House-Made Mozzarella Sticks
Jason S.

Stopped by the Brixton on a Sunday afternoon for a couple drinks and snacks and had a great time. We grabbed seats at the bar and were greeted right away, which is always a good start. I knew I wanted a beer, while my wife took a look at the menu and ended up ordering the Berry Brixton. I went with a Space Dust--super happy to see it back! Last time we came after they re-opened, they didn't have it and the beer selection leaned lighter, so this was a nice surprise. We also ordered the house-made mozzarella sticks and I forgot how massive they are. Definitely worth it, especially since they come with both ranch and marinara for dipping. Service at the bar was awesome! The best part? When the check came, we realized both the beers and mozzarella sticks were on happy hour. Even better.

I had high expectations. But I also knew it was a Saturday night and moreover Valentine's Day. It was extraordinarily loud. We asked for a quiet table and they found us one. But it was still hard to hear each other across the table. My husband had a drink at the bar. He ordered a second at the table and they brought him a third. We ordered wontons that never arrived. He ordered a salad with his hamburger and they brought him fries. The food was delicious. Dessert was disappointed. We ordered an apple pie but it was more like a pop tart. All pastry and only a tiny bit of apples. Our server was very helpful and accommodating. I understand that the kitchen was slammed. But I always wonder when the wait staff who takes your order is not the one delivering your food. That's where the mistakes happen. My scallops were delicious. All four tiny ones. Next time we'll come when it's hopefully quieter.

Back again at Brixton for party of 7 with no reservation. Zero wait time. Excellent service. Love the ambiance here! One of my solid favorites on Union. Had appetizers and cocktails~ recommend!

Ribs, lager and margarita!
Martin W.

Awesome place, great food, great music, World Cup football and staff are incredibly helpful and super nice! Highly recommend, we discovered The Brixton for the first time three days ago and have been back everyday since!

This is a good, solid restaurant. We've been a few times and every time has been fairly good. I can usually get a table without a long wait, the happy hour prices are fair and I love that they have outdoor seating.

BLTA with smoked salmon
Natalie C.

Perfect brunch spot. They recently redid the inside and it's beautiful and sleek. The staff was incredibly nice and very helpful. But you're coming here for the food and every bite is worth it. The recommendations: First and foremost, all dishes are quite large, so be mindful Highly recommend brunch cocktails. They do a fantastic job. Fair warning - if you do the spicy margarita, it IS spicy. They infuse their tequila with jalapeño and habanero so it definitely packs a punch. Frittata- large, full of little extras either great flavor. French toast - massive portion. Highly recommend splitting this as a sweet option for the table. Burger - sloppy and fantastic. It did get a little soggy at one point, but the flavor made up for any of the drips. BLTA - I added smoked salmon to this one which I highly recommend. The bread is fantastic and the overall sandwich is very hardy. Awesome spot. Will definitely go back!

YALL CRUSHED IT FOR UNION FEST!! The atmosphere was amazing inside and outside. Came in for a quick drink and left with a full meal.

I arrived early for my reservation and a seemingly random man wandered up to the host stand and greeted me. I think he might be the owner or a manager. He was nice enough. I wasn't seated where I requested and it wasn't busy, but my table was still fine. The server was friendly and checked in frequently without being overbearing. The ambiance was casual and quiet. The food was pretty mediocre. The BLTA was fine. Nothing remarkable. I also had the Crème Brûlée, which was also just fine. It had a random shortbread cookie on top that really doesn't make sense with the dish. I could have done without it. Everything was just...fine.

Smash burger.
amy T.

There are many places to eat on Union Street and this is just one that's not as memorable. I used to love Brixton and their awesome happy hours. The former owner made the place fun and edgy with cool music venue posters from days past. Then there was a closure and redo. It's over priced and just has a different attitude. There's a fireplace in front by the open doors so it's not really cozy. The staff are nice. The drinks are good. The dessert is yummy. We had the best salad and the smash burger with fries. It was fine.

Chilaquiles

This was a wonderful breakfast outing, on a perfect sunny day in SF. We decided on The Brixton on Union in the Marina. The service was fantastic...prompt, never an empty water glass and plates removed when the meal was consumed. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Menu variety made it hard to choose just one! (We'll have to go back!) Indoor and outdoor seating.

Kelley S.

One of the more underwhelming restaurants in the Marina in terms of food. The vibe and then aesthetics at the Brixton are always lively and fun but the food just fails to amaze me. It's by no means bad but for the price it's not where it should be. The service was great as our waitress was super attentive and sweet. Would come here for drinks before a night out but would skip dinner.

Caesar Salad, Hamburger, 1/2 Sweet Potato and 1/2 reg fries, and Allagash White. Yum!!!  :0)
Aaa T.

They used to have great burgers, fries and service. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. Went here for lunch recently and they downgraded my Wagyu hamburger to the Smashburger and tried to charge me the higher price. I had to ask a 2nd server to confirm that the hamburger served was a mistake and they offered to make the correct, more expensive burger. By that time, I didn't trust the staff so suffered and ate that miserable "smashburger" flat, thin, tasteless wannabe burger. I can't recommend this place anymore and won't ever return. Terrible, unwelcoming staff and horrible food. Don't get ripped off, there are tons of other great options on Union St.

Dear Val and The Patio Restaurant Team,…read more We wanted to extend our sincere thanks to you and the entire Patio Restaurant staff for making our wedding brunch celebration such a memorable experience. From the very beginning, Val was incredibly kind, responsive, and organized. She answered every question we had and guided us through the planning process with patience and professionalism. Her recommendations on the food portions were spot on, ensuring that everyone had plenty to enjoy without overordering. Our family and friends had a wonderful time, and everyone complimented the food, drinks, and beautiful venue. The patio space created such a warm, welcoming, and intimate atmosphere that was perfect for celebrating with our loved ones. The brunch menu was outstanding. Every dish was delicious, from the mac & cheese, fried chicken sandwiches, and meatballs to the calamari mixto, French toast, fruit and berries, charcuterie selection, sommelier's cheese selection, little gem salad, avocado toast, and scrambled eggs with potatoes. There was something for everyone, and every plate was enjoyed. We also want to recognize the bartender for crafting amazing drinks throughout the event and the servers for being so friendly, attentive, and professional. They made sure our guests were well taken care of and contributed to the relaxed and joyful atmosphere. The entire team went above and beyond to ensure everything was set up perfectly, allowing us to simply enjoy the celebration with our family and friends. We will always cherish the memories we made that day, and Patio Restaurant will forever be a special place for us. Thank you, Val, and thank you to everyone on your team for providing such exceptional service and hospitality. We truly appreciate everything you did and look forward to visiting again in the future. With gratitude, Jihong & Yurie

It was kind of strange but I overlooked it. So we got a proper table and our menus and yet, even though there was only one other couple sitting in the back, it took forever for our server to help us. When he finally came back to take our order, we ended up giving him our entire order for drinks, apps and food cause we were starving (he didn't come to take our order until 30-40 min after we sat down). Then when the food came, it didn't come coursed out at all. The mains came before the shared appetizers. The oysters came out midway through our meal. It was all just kind of a mess. I ordered a burger medium and it was mostly pink through the entire burger and had little to no salt in it - there was no flavor! The fries I asked for crispy and they were just not soggy but hardly crisped. All around, the food was lackluster and the service was disappointing.

My friend chose cocktails but I forgot which one. We shared the burrata, which was presented with sliced apples & blood orange & regular orange sections with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar & served with toasted baguette slices. It was delicious! I had the mushroom eggs Benedict with a side of bacon with potatoes & it was also delicious! The spinach & variety of mushrooms made it a healthy choice to offset the crispy bacon (4 generous slices too). Service is friendly & helpful. They have a back patio which is uncovered & front parklet for outdoor dining but we opted to sit inside because it was chilly today. The main dining room is sleek & modern with a wall of wine bottles as decor but it also served.

The food itself was fine, but the service completely ruined the evening for us. The blonde woman bartending was especially rude and dismissive. Every interaction felt like we were bothering her just by asking a question or trying to order. There was very little warmth or basic hospitality, and her attitude made us feel unwelcome from the start. One of the male servers was just as frustrating. His responses came across extremely snarky and unnecessarily sassy, even when we were being polite and simply asking normal questions. Instead of feeling taken care of, we felt like we were being talked down to. Having multiple staff members interact with us this way made it hard to brush off as just one bad moment. We weren't expecting over-the-top service, just basic friendliness and professionalism. Unfortunately, the attitude from the staff overshadowed everything else. It's hard to enjoy a meal when the service makes you feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. I've had such a positive experience at the Sausalito location, which made this even more disappointing. I really hope management addresses the service here because the restaurant itself has potential, but based on this experience, I wouldn't be eager to return.

It's definitely on the expensive side, and the portions are on the smaller side, but every dish is incredibly creative, fresh, and packed with flavor. If you're looking for a place that feels clean and healthy without sacrificing taste, this is one of my favorites. I find myself craving it, especially for dinner. One thing that can be a little confusing is the hours. They often leave the door open, and because there's so much foot traffic, it's hard to tell whether they're actually open. I've definitely been the person peeking in to ask. They serve lunch on certain days, but they seem to be primarily a dinner spot. The biggest downside is the service. Unfortunately, it's been consistently underwhelming across all three visits, even with different servers. I've found the staff to be pretty dismissive, which makes me think it's more of the standard experience than just a one off. Because of that, I don't really dine in anymore. Instead, I usually order takeout and enjoy it outside. The food is absolutely worth it, even if the service isn't. If the quality of the food weren't this exceptional, I probably wouldn't have returned after my first visit. But it's honestly that good, and that's why I keep coming back.
