    Espresso martini
    StaciLei T.

    When you're first stop is at Wilder, you know you're in for a good night. Came in with a crew for espresso martinis and light apps. We were rolling deep with 9 of us, so luckily we were able to reserve a table for all of us ahead of time. I love an espresso martini and they really know how to do it up here! Topped with gold dusted espresso beans and the perfect amount of depth and sweetness. I flew into San Fran earlier this day and the caffeine boost was exactly what I needed to start off the night strong. For bites we got the baked goat cheese and oysters. These bites were definitely made to share -- it was so easy to put the plates in the middle of the table and have everyone grab what they wanted. I'm still getting over an oyster aversion but loved the goat cheese with some yummy bread. Overall, really loved the vibe of the whole place and even checked out the very clean bathrooms before heading out.

    We stopped in for drinks and light bites with a group of nine. This spot was welcoming, bright and the decorations were fun as well. Definitely a cool spot for a drink. Most of us ordered espresso martinis and they were delicious. A great coffee flavor, and no too sweet. I also liked the gold dusted espresso beans they topped the drink with- a very cute touch. The bites were also tasty, and easily shareable. We ended up with the baked goat cheese and some oysters. I'd love to see what this spot looks like later in the evening, but I loved the vibes early on a Tuesday evening. Still bright, not too loud, and we had a perfect large table where we could all talk together.

    Wildest Burger w/side caesar salad.

    Went for dinner on a Friday around 7 PM and were seated right away, no wait for a table of three. We had originally planned to go elsewhere, but with an hour-long wait there, we ended up at Wilder--and I'm glad we did. I ordered the Wildest Burger, and it was incredible. The combination of the burger patty, mortadella, braised pork belly, and American cheese was spot on. Instead of fries, I opted for a side Caesar salad, which had just the right amount of dressing but could have been a little colder. Service was great, too. Overall, a fantastic experience and will be back!

    Good vibes and really friendly staff. They let me and a friend hang out at the bar for nearly 3 hours to get wine buzzed. I'll definitely be back!

    Wilder has cute decor and a fun atmosphere! The service was great and the food came quickly. For lunch I had the Chicken Caesar Wrap and it was one of the best I've had in San Francisco! If you're in the area I definitely recommend stopping by.

    STEAMED PORK BELLY BUNS, spritz tower, and French Fries
    Mary Bryan O.

    Great place for a weekend happy hour! We got the spritz tower (5 spritz for 45 dollars!). The steamed pork belly buns, fries and wings are great! My friend got their chicken Caesar salad which seemed reliable. I hope they decide to bring back tini Thursdays again- that was an unbeatable deal!

    French Fries and a dirty martini
    Alyssa D.

    I love coming here for a crisp martini that is accompanied by a side car so you're truly getting bang for your buck. They are fantastic every time, no matter which bartending is crafting them. Now to the food, honestly, I'm not impressed. The French fries were good, don't get me wrong but if you are looking to go somewhere for a meal there are better options in the area. I felt like the food was lacking flavors, we got wings, burrata, ahi taco and more. I wouldn't go back for any of these items, only for the martini.

    Crab avocado toast
    Christine W.

    Came here with a friend for brunch before shopping around the Marina! The food was great in my opinion. My friend and I got the crab avocado toast and the blueberry ricotta pancakes to share! The crab avocado toast was delicious and definitely a highlight for me - a 10/10. The blueberry ricotta pancakes were a bit on the sweeter side, but I still enjoyed it. The fruit was also very fresh - a 8/10. My friend and I also both each got froses, which come in the cutest bear cups! It was a bit more alcoholic than I expected, but still very good! The ambiance is also nice, and the bathrooms as well as the interior are all decorated very beautifully! I really liked the style. The service was also very good as the servers were attentive and checked up on us periodically :) Overall, I would definitely come back again for brunch!

    CALAMARI AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS
    Susan T.

    Oh boy !!! What an amazing experience here !!! Came here to celebrate our friend 35TH birthday and omg !!! The service was beyond incredible!!!Riley was honestly so sweet ! She walked us there the menu, let us know what type of drinks they had! We got the steaks and pork chops ! RECOMMENDING THE STEAK !! It's sooooo good !!! Their appetizers was amazing as well! Definitely the calamari's was our tables favorite !! It was very cozy inside, making the dinner very intimate with our friends ! Definitely would come back !!

    Great menu and hands-down the best vibe on Fillmore Street. The craft cocktails are top-notch, and the espresso martinis are still the best in the city. Food is always amazing. It's usually crowded when I'm there--which probably says it all. Fun atmosphere and awesome ambiance. Love this spot!

    Amy G.

    This is the best place for outdoor drinks because it's not nearly as crowded as Balboa, but has better service and vibes. Their happy hour deals are phenomenal! Highly recommend checking the times and menus and coming with a group of friends. Brunch food was okay, definitely not amazing but the prices are fantastic and the servings are hefty. Not a ton of flavor but can all be elevated with some hot sauce that you can ask for on the side! $5 mimosas (multiple flavors to choose from!) and frose on the weekends from 10a-12p are the best way to kick off a beautiful day - especially the frosé which comes with gummy bears on top.

    Busy but fun night vibe. We didn't have any food, but we had a few cocktails. We had lemon drop martinis. $12 each. Very yummy

    September drink of the month
    Shelby S.

    TL;DR Cute spot; great for happy hour My friend found this place on TikTok and recommended that we go. I got there a little early so I went to the bar and got the cocktail of the month. It was happy hour (I think it goes until 6:30 PM on weekends) so the drink was only $9! Talk about throwback pricing The drink was good and the bartender was super nice. During September, it's this gin/passionfruit/piña colada/ginger beer esque drink that's not too sweet but also not too tart. Once my friend got there, we ordered espresso martinis. It was a good martini to me, included the 3 beans, and wasn't too sweet or overly espresso tasting. I wasn't that hungry so I got the happy hour croquet. I didn't know what to except but it was tasty and exceeded my expectations. Id definitely get this again during happy hour! My friend enjoyed her burger Service was great. Playlist was interesting in a good way. I think I overheard that they were using a Spotify playlist but some of the songs were skipped which kind of threw the vibe off at times (but in a very minor way). I walked here but my friend was able to find street parking not too far away. There are great views from this restaurant if you want to see the sunset.

    This is such a cute restaurant. I went here with a group of 4 for some pre-dinner drinks and apps…read more We were adventurous with our drink selection: -Succotash: weird but in an expected way. The menu is very clear about what you're in for. - Lavender Sgroppino: basically a fancy alcoholic frozen lemonade, everything I wanted it to be! - Irish Coffee and Parmesan: this was... interesting. The base drink, basically a frozen espresso martini, was good, but the topper cheese was SOOO salty. If that's your vibe, try it! We switched out for a brut, which was lovely. The apps were excellent! We got the smoked salmon sliders and the 100 layer, both of which were well-designed and very tasty. Our waiter was excellent. Super attentive without being invasive, very fast service. And the vibe of the place is so cute. Will DEFINITELY be coming back for the full dinner!

That's why you rarely see me lurking about on Chestnut St. However, here I was looking for a bite to eat before heading home to the tenements. I had heard of this spot because I heard the double smashburger was pretty tasty. There were a lot of people out on the patio but not a single diner inside. Guess where I sat. Not in a burger mood, I first went with an indulgent treat, the $11 Brioche French Toast Bites, five of them dusted with powdered sugar and accompanied by maple syrup (Photo 8). Quite tasty and gone in seconds. I followed this up with a surprisingly healthy choice, the $18 Dirty Girl Castelfranco Salad, an exceptional mix of sugar snap peas, sunchokes, cara cara, and sunflower seeds tossed in citrus vinaigrette (Photo 9). Did I turn into a Marina man? Uh, not quite.

The decor was minimal and nice, and definitely felt like a more upscale lunch spot. A majority of the group ordered the chicken sandwich which everyone said was delicious! The duck and steak frites were also a highlight for the group. I got the BLT croissant sandwich, which was tasty but I honestly didn't love their fries. The portions were huge and overall we were happy with our lunch! Service was phenomenal and they navigated serving a large party well. Even on a random Wednesday there were a ton of customers. I definitely want to come back for dinner and to try more of their menu items.

    Less than 1 star - Won't be back, and we just bought a house two blocks away…read more I made a reservation for two and specifically requested inside seating. When we arrived, the host -- a blonde woman with a serious attitude problem -- tried to seat us at a cramped makeshift table outside in direct sunlight where there was heavy foot traffic. When we reminded her of our indoor reservation, she was annoyed and told us to wait as "you can see it's packed". Others who asked and didn't have reservations were treated kindly and told "ok don't worry". I was with my mom who was visiting and she is sensitive to direct sunlight which is why we requested an indoor reservation. While we stood there waiting, we noticed a white couple who had clearly finished their meal being (checked paid just sitting) allowed to linger indefinitely, while the table right next to them was being rushed out and asked to bag their leftovers "overthere" because the restaurant was busy. That contrast was not lost on us. When we were finally seated inside (also cramped -- tables are packed very tight), my mom nudged our table slightly to create a little breathing room from the couple next to us. Or at least make it equidistant between table. The same host walked over and told her not to move the tables. No warmth, no apology for the wait -- just another reminder that we were an inconvenience. I was confused about the treatment received. Can someone explain? And then the food. The omelette was runny and greasy. The chicken in my sandwich was so overcooked and dry it was actually painful to swallow -- I'm not exaggerating. I was so excited to find a neighborhood spot after moving nearby. This was supposed to be a lovely Saturday brunch on May 23. Instead, the host managed to ruin the entire experience before we even sat down. The food finished the job. We won't be returning.
