I've been forgetting to check in last week as I've eaten here a couple of times while staying at the Hilton Doubletree. It gets very busy and crowded here in the evening. Lots of travelers coming and going. Parking can be limited in the evening. Service is great and the wait is not too long for pick up. I've eaten twice at the restaurant (once with hubby) and the rest were room service/pick up. The restaurant has plenty of seating and a bar to sit at with the TV on. Waiters were attentive and some were nice. They seem a little overwhelmed. Bistro chicken sandwich- My mother and I loved this sandwich, it has a balsamic glaze and parmesan aioli that makes that chicken cluck. The steak sandwich- My favorite sandwich here! Hubby also loved it. The crispy onions gives that nice texture to the grilled flank and the horseradish just takes it over the top on a ciabatta roll. *Must try Grilled chicken caesar salad- Hubby's favorite, the grilled chicken with plenty of greens and Parmesan cheese. He said it is very good. Kale & quinoa salad- This salad had equal portions of salad and quinoa (tender) with tiny bites of tart, savory, and sweet. California fish tacos- My mother and I LOVED the fish tacos. I have to say it's probably the best I had because the fish was grilled, not fried. The avocado and chipotle aioli is on point. Crispy chicken wings- Best appetizer here!! We tried the Korean chili sauce wings and they were big, CRISPY, wings. Hubby loved eating these wings. I will have to try the spicy buffalo sauce wings next. Linguine prawns- Both hubby and I agree that the lemon thyme sauce makes this dish amazingly good. It came with only 3 prawns and they were huge. I feel like 6 prawns would be equal to the amount of pasta there is to eat. read more

Would give a zero if I could. Ordered French Onion soup. Menu said sour dough bread bowl. I received a regular bowl, hardly any onions, and no cheese. $11 it was pathetic. I asked the waiter about the bread bowl he said oh that's $5 extra. OOOK. I would have paid it but he didn't give me an option. I had no napkin and would've ordered another drink but he quickly gave me the bill. read more

Stopped in last night for dinner at WhiteCaps. I almost didn't because of the reviews...but glad I did. Service was great! I had an avocado & bacon chopped salad that was amazing! Of course because it's a hotel restaurant the prices were a little higher, but the food quality and service made up for it. read more

My mom and I stopped in for a nice dinner on Friday night. The main dining area was closed but the bar area was open. Whitecaps is open for breakfast from 6AM - 10AM and then reopens in the evening from 5PM - 10PM. While we would have preferred to sit in the dining area, because the booths and chairs are more comfortable to us than the high bar stools, we sat at the bar. There were a few tables in the bar area but they were occupied by other patrons when we arrived around 8PM. The bartender and main waitress were very friendly. I ordered a Mai Tai, made with bacardi silver, amaretto, orange juice, pineapple juice, and grenadine. I wasn't a huge fan; it was pretty strong and if you enjoy strong citrus flavors they you would enjoy this. The orange juice was a little more tart for my liking as I prefer sweet, fruity drinks. My mother's drink was absolutely delicious. She ordered a strawberry lemonade, made with blooms london gin, strawberry syrup, fresh basil, lemonade, and a splash of club soda. I highly recommend this drink. The gin added a nice pine flavor that complimented the strawberry and basil nicely. For our entrees I ordered the classic caesar salad with a side of french fries and my mom had the teriyaki beef skewers, served with a side of slaw consisting of grilled pineapples, jicama, and napa cabbage. I will say, despite the fact that the bar area was not packed and had started to clear out the longer we were there, our food did take a little bit to come out. The salad was good, which it should've been since it's hard to mess up a caesar salad. The dressing was flavorful and the grated cheese to crouton ratio was perfect. The fries were hot and already salted, served with a small container of ketchup. They came out at the same time as my salad. My mom really enjoyed the slaw that was served with her skewers, however she said that the skewers were chewy and slightly overdone. She said that the flavor of the meat was excellent and there was a tiny hint of spice, however the meat was not tender enough for her. The skewers were more well done than medium or medium well. She rated her meal a 3.5 out of 5. For a Friday night, the bar got a decent amount of service but was not overwhelming or overcrowded. For a bar, I thought that the menu was incredibly diverse with many different flavor profiles. Although we didn't order them, another guest ordered the california fish tacos and they looked delicious. With this being a hotel, I expected the restaurant prices to be inflated, however I would not classify this as a happy hour. The prices are too high, there weren't any deals on alcohol as the cocktails were full priced, and the food options were simply entrees instead of finger foods. Whitecaps doesn't have a separate happy hour menu that differs from their regular menu. If you're in the Brisbane area and want to stop in for a quick drink at the bar then I would suggest Whitecaps, however if you're looking for a traditional happy hour, I wouldn't. read more

We tried out WhiteCaps and Drinks + Eats, located inside the DoubleTree Hotel Lobby. The place looks clean and nice. We had our children with us and asked if we could eat with them since we obviously wouldn't be sitting at the bar. They reassured us that we could, so we dined there. Service was great--the server was kind and attentive. My husband and I got drinks; mine was a bit strong, but I drank it anyway as it was the evening and I needed to relax a bit. Had the drink not been so strong, I probably would have had two. I really couldn't taste the other flavors, but I didn't want it to go to waste. Just a heads-up! The food was okay. I ordered the flank steak with chimichurri. The chimichurri was great, but the steak needed more flavor--not just salt. It wasn't terrible, but it could have been better. I did eat my whole meal as I'm not really a "send it back" person. My kids loved their meals, which included a burger with fries and chicken tenders with fries. My husband had a burger, which he said was good. I'm not convinced he was wowed, but we all ate our food. Would I recommend it? Yes, I would. I would try it again and maybe ask more questions or try something else. It is conveniently located inside the hotel, and the pricing is standard, similar to eating at a different restaurant. It was clean and quaint, and I would give it another try next time I'm in the area. read more

I wouldn't really suggest the Whitecap if you're looking for a decent meal. It has a limited menu and sub sized portions for the average bear. I ordered the Steak Frites which is literally a few pieces of meat and some Sysco bagged fries topped off with mayonnaise and some ketchup for dipping. I would compare this to get a steak at a concert or the ball game. $40 and its yours! Going going gone...to anywhere else. read more

This restaurant used to be a passable place for someone staying at the very isolated Doubletree to get dinner. Sure, the food wasn't great and it was little overpriced, but the sandwiches were edible and a few dishes were pretty good (thinking of the fish tacos and the steak sandwich). Late last year the managers of the hotel (not Hilton corporate - a company called Stonebridge) said they were working on a new, more attractive menu. Sounded promising. But it appears it was really an excuse to convert the whole menu to cheap Sysco (or similar) ingredients at a casual restaurant price. The new hamburger is flimsy and so covered in sweet, fatty goop that you can't taste the beef anyway. The chicken sandwich is mostly fat and starch (there might be chicken, or chicken grist, in there too). The baby kale salad was actually ok - if simple and little too sweet - but $13 is steep for a tiny bit of greens and some fruit and nuts (thinking back, might have been spinach the night I had it!). Adding salmon to the salad made it an ok light meal, but for over $30 incl. tax and tip you could get something nice in the real world. Hilton offers its elite members $18/day to spend in the hotel. The new menu feels designed to extract as much cash as they can from these visitors while minimizing outlay on ingredients and creativity. Oh well, the beer and wine are still ok I'm sure, but if you're hungry you're better off spending that $18 on a $12 sandwich or a $10 frozen burrito in the "gift shop". read more

I had the Chicken Medallions that comes over a bed of sautéed vegetables & roasted potatoes. In addition it's served in this lemon butter sauce that you will want to drink. It was great. I am deducting a star because of price. I know it's in a hotel but it would taste even better if it was just a little cheaper. If you are looking for a well balance meal that has a protein, starch & veggie; here it is. read more

Nice hotel bar at the doubletree Hilton. We had a great bartender, Enrique. We started with cocktails which were well made. Because we arrived and were still on east coast time, we just wanted a quick bite to eat. Bf got the burger and fries. I had the Turkey panini and side salad. Both were good choices!!! Nice choice for quick food before zzzzz. read more

Who knew hotel food at a bar would be better than a lot of other 5 star rating places I've been to? I've tried their chicken picatta, Asian chili wings, salmon Niçoise salad the grilled New York steak. My least favorite was their ahi poke but everything else over exceeded my expectations. The food was flavorful, well cooked and the salmon was probably one of the best cooked salmons I've had in a long long time. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside but it was still juicy and not over cooked or dry. Along w/ the chicken picatta tender and juicy breast and the New York steak that came w/ the Parmesan peppercorn butter was to die for. If you're around the area, definitely give this place a try even if it's for an appetizer like those very tasty Asian wings, you're not going to be disappointed. They have HH but the bartenders are very dry. I need someone whose up beat and seems like they enjoy working there. read more

Great employees here ... always there to help and make sure everything needed is in order thanks Diane and Eric

One Saturday, I was organizing an event at Genentech and realized that at least 20 people would be going out to lunch with us afterwards. I wanted to research and be prepared with some sort of reservation. WhiteCaps was the only decent option that was open in the area, so I called to ask about reserving a table for 20 people. The guy who picked up was super sweet and assured me that they would have plenty of room. Once the event was over, we drove to the San Francisco Airport DoubleTree, which is where WhiteCaps is located. It's in the middle of a deserted area, though the view of the water is gorgeous. It was quite difficult to find parking because of other hotel guests and event attendees. I assumed that the view of the water from inside the restaurant was beautiful, but we couldn't see from where we were sitting, even though it was against the glass wall. Service was so-so, and the food prices were high, as expected from most hotel restaurants. I ordered their Shrimp and Citrus Salad which had greens, fennel, oranges, almonds, and citrus honey dressing. It was okay. Not filling at all. I still wanted more after this tiny salad but decided I would wait until I got home. I'm not compelled to come back again, though almost everyone else seemed happy, so I was satisfied with my selection and organization, and that's all that matters to me about this place. read more

While I'm not big on this place, located at the Doubletree Hotel in a sea of nothingness called Brisbane, it has the best offerings of a little something-something in the whole area. Nicely laid out bar and restaurant off a modern lobby, it has a small menu of nibbles, salads, and entrees -- about 15 in all. Several draft beers can make the night pass. I grabbed an order of the BBQ chicken wings [$10, 4.0 stars] and a draft brew [$6] enabled one of the longer 60 mins of my life. read more

This is BY FAR THE WORST HOTEL BAR I've ever been too and I've been to hotel bars all over the United States. First night we were here we had some complimentary drinks offered by the hotel. And when we went I ordered a strawberry mojito, simple enough. The waiter came back 3 times to ask again what I wanted and each time it was the same thing, a strawberry mojito. When it finally arrived it definitely wasen't a strawberry mojito. So I told the person and he at first tried to explain it off that its a strawberry mojito. When I said no it wasen't he then went to the bartender blaming the bartender for the error. Instead of making a new drink he just pumped some strawberry syrup into the existing drink and brought it back!!! I was done after that, got up and just left. So because of other hotel room mixups, they gave each of us (5 in total) a free drink and a free appetizer and a nonalcoholic drink. So we came back to redeem our free drinks/food. We first made sure it was a different bartender because the first one was absolutely terrible. And it wasen't so we decided to avail ourselves of the free drinks and food. I first ordered a peach tea and then some hot wings which were highly recommended by the staff there. Food took over 45 minutes to come out!!! And all we ordered was hot wings!!! There were 6 wings only, and it took SO LONG to come out. Don't know if they had to go and find a chicken, then butcher it, bleed it, defeather it and then cook it up. But it was just rediculous! Wings were drowned in a lot of hot sauce. Leaving the wing just tasting spicy and not in a good way either. Just in your face hot!! Only able to finish 2 of them before my acid reflux started acting up. Also ordered a strawberry lemonade (alcoholic of course). Drinks were good, heavy handed on the liquor. But man!!! Over 45 minutes for an appetizer. That was unacceptable. Bartender who also worked as the waiter had a good 20 people he was serving, and there were some tables he never even came around to. And they just ended up leaving. If it wasen't for the sole fact that the meal was going to be free I was going to just leave as well. Adjectives that come up to mind as I'm finishing up my 2nd drink in the hotel room is slow, incompetent, subpar, weak, terrible, mind numbing, and frustrating. At first we were talking about eating here and watching the early football games on sunday before the Broncos game. But after the past 2 experiences I WILL NOT be coming back, ever!!! read more

Decided to give a try to this restaurant which is inside the Double Tree Hotel during our 3 day stay in San Francisco. We ordered the famous fried calamari based of reviews, the chicken wings and the whiteCap burger. The calamari was really salty, the wings were cooked good but the sauce lacked flavor, and the burger was cocked well but had some extra flavors going on that detracted from it, however the fries were good. read more

Not too shabby for a hotel bar. Reasonable price for food and drinks. Server Dez was also very nice and professional. He was nice enough to turn up the volume for us to enjoy the warrior game. We got HH grapefruit mule for $9 and all their beers were $7. Buffalo wings and fries was standard but didn't disappoint. I'd recommend this spot if ur in the area and killing time read more

Closed since Covid. Nothing to see, nothing to eat. Too bad, so sad. There is little on the peninsula to eat. Go to 7 mike bar & grill. Kind of a dive bar but fun, good eats & drinks. read more

4 stars for a lovely, well made salmon dinner, and great service. Minus one for a salad that was just okay, not quite as fresh, but main entree more than made up for it. Great green beans, neither salmon nor veggies overdone. Lovely service as well. Worth a visit f you live local or are traveling on business. Enrique's welcoming smile and solid manning of the bar is a winner. Comfy padded seats. read more

We got in at 8:30pm, and came down to the restaurant. Very clean, staff is very friendly. Food was good. They obviously put a lot of thought and effort in to the menu. I had the WhiteCap Burger. Never thought Bri Cheese would go, but it was great! The bacon and beef were great! My Daughter had the Chicken Alfredo. She loves it! I tested the Grilled chicken in it, and it was legit! Wife and Father in Law had the Caprese Salad. Great blend of greens and Red tomatoes with a Chimchuri sauce. They were disappointed, because there was no Balsamic Glaze! Mother in-law got a Grilled Chicken Salad. It was huge!! She loved it! read more

For me It's the people that make the restaurant, for they are the mechanics behind it all... With that in mind I would like to give a special thank you to Lauren and Hossam in the restaurant. You could not ask for more helpful, polite, happier members of the team. From the off they cared, and it was clear passionate about there job's, Both are an asset to the restaurant and hotel and for me made all the difference, so I thank them... The above is based on my experience... and I am a happy customer... read more

Meh. We ordered the room service and it came reasonably quickly. They had a hard time hearing or understanding my order. Chicken Medallions were flavorless. Potatoes were overdone. Coke was watered down. WhiteCaps burger was nothing to get excited about. read more

The bar/restaurant was clean and organized. The employees were friendly and provided prompt service. Enrique, the bartender, made an excellent gin martini. He was also accommodating when asked to put on the Yankees game. I do not rate it a 5 star because their chicken wings portion is not very filling with six small pieces of wings. However, every other plate that I ordered was a good serving size. In addition, Happy Hour prices did not apply to many items on the menu. You only get $1-$2 off regular price. The food was tasty though and worth the money. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for the food, cleanliness and service. read more

Hotel food. Yuk. Not here though. Nothing is better to help home sickness pains that a great meal... and what a great meal. I had the Chicken Marsala and it was loaded with perfectly cooked asparagus, fresh green beans, fresh baby carrots and a generous variety of mushrooms. The chicken breast was moist and flavorful. This was all tied together by a light Marsala that allowed each of the individual flavors to come through while adding its own. Absolutely delicious. Hotel food? For this dish, I will be back and likely driving past many of San Francisco's great restaurants to get here. read more

My brother in his wife were in town sightseeing with my dad in SF and wanted to meet us somewhere for dinner close to where we live. It was Memorial Day weekend and at first we were going to go to Original Joe's, but they were super crowded. Whitecaps has a lovely location inside what looks like a very nice hotel (they have a real time departure board and shuttles to SFO). The 5 of us were seated at a wonderful round table towards the center. We ordered 4 soups of the day and 1 clam chowder. 2 different main dish salads, the chicken banh mi, the chicken picata, and a burger. The soups were both delicious and the highlight of the meal. The amount of protein in the main dishes was generous. Food was above average but not mind blowing. My boyfriend really enjoyed his burger. Overall I would go again, but couldn't see me going there regularly. read more

Well well well. Not gonna lie. I think this is perfect for happy hour and breakfast. But definitely not a quality of a Cracker Barrel quality but it will do fine. Especially if you are visiting the office park and need to chill somewhere before the meetings. read more

Very Expensive drinks with very lite pours. Avoid the calamari, it was too salty to enjoy. The burger was decent and all the desserts are good. The clam chowder has been very inconsistent over the last 3-4 months. All food items are overpriced. read more

The older bartender Enrique would not stop hitting on me and I could barely understand what he was saying. The food was great, but the cocktails were not the Bay Area standard I'm used to. I felt like I was drinking at a Margeritaville in some random tourist bar in Las Vegas, than an actual Hilton hotel. The prices were also ridiculous, they want to charge people $12 for a Bailey's, not even legit bars in San Francisco charged this much for a cheap liqueur, they think they are the Four Seasons or something. If you're stuck in South San Francisco, at least the hotel itself is spacious and well updated. The food is tasty, but the bar service sucks. read more

My brother and I were looking for a place to eat when we stumbled upon Whitecaps that is uniquely within a hotel. It was a good find, no doubt and happy that we even bothered to check them out. At first glance, it's quaint and probably deceiving; in a good way. Its simple décor was no lead up to the food. We opted to try the shrimp, fried calamari, the chicken wings and something that was recommended was the white cap burger. Out of everything, I have to say that the chicken wings were crispy but juicy on the inside and the fried calamari was also perfection. It was seasoned beautifully and kept me wanting more. The white cap burger on the other hand left more to be desired but it was still good! We loved it and staff here is so friendly! read more

Great service and very attentive employees. The food was great. The women server was the best. I would recommend this for groups.

Pretty decent place. Came here from across the way since we were staying at the Marriott which doesn't have an on site restaurant. The WhiteCaps Drinks has your standard bar food, plus pretty average entrees and a selection of cocktails. Since we were really only coming here for a late lunch, we didn't really get much. We came here in the middle of the day, so it wasn't busy at all. My friend and I ordered the side salad, hummus and veggies, and she got the chicken salad. Our server was somewhat slow considering the place wasn't just at all, and he barely spoke any English, but he was nice and our food came out within a decent time from when we ordered. The food was good for the pricing, so we definitely can't complain there, and was good for the vicinity. I can't really comment on any of the cocktails though since we didn't order any, but we got our food in a timely manner and it did the job! read more

After a long day of touristing and practically no eateries that serve food past 9 pm. We decided to go back to our hotel The Double Tree Airport and eat at their restaurant White Caps. It was 9:30 pm and we were almost the only ones in the dining area so we were seated promptly and was treated to great burgers (White Cap Burger with perfect fries!)and great service while watching the GSW lose to the Rockets! Too bad for the warriors but the meal was just what we needed! read more

Crowded, but clean. Staff served me within a minute after sitting down. Several televisions to watch the game of the night. I just missed Happy Hour, which goes from 4-6pm, so the Bill was fairly expensive. Would probably give this place a 3.6 if 5.0 grade, so will round up to 4 stars. Good food and service, but nothing earth shaking. A bit too expensive for bar food. read more

They really make this place look cool in photos but it's really just a hotel restaurant. They raised the prices from their menu online, the food was bland, and the service was non-existent. We came for lunch and I got the crab avocado salad: it was a good portion of crab but so bland I couldn't eat it. I would have returned it had a server come by to ask how our meal was. My husband got the burger and said it was good but the fries came out room temperature, not hot. Should have listened to the bad reviews because it was not worth it read more

Expensive. Food was very subpar and not worth a 20 dollar bill for breakfast even though we SHOULD'VE been included...Double Tree, I am massively disappointed in my stay strictly because breakfast wasn't included in my stay. This is a very bad stay because of the restaurant. I will not be returning to the Double Tree by Hilton. read more

I travel west every couple of months and happened in based solely on hotel I was staying and it did not disappoint. It was like being home, everyone was welcoming, food was outstanding, fresh, clean, simple good food but I must admit to being a bit of bar snob and they won me over there too, I could drink the Brisbane Mule all afternoon but my east coast heart was won over by the Manhattan I highly, highly recommend the adult grilled cheese, my guests couldn't stop raving about it. I naturally am a pain with allergies and the manager came out and handled everything without complaint and didn't make me feel bad needing the extra care. I will make a point to return again and again. read more
