Service is phenomenal at bar crenn! It's an elevated experience where they want to make sure you enjoy everything and it lives up to their highest standards.One of the best dirty martinis I have had. Crisp and cool with the perfect dirty ratio. The onion turnover was delicious. Any excuse to try Chef Crenn food! The pastry was flaky and buttery with a rich onion flavor balanced with a light perfectly ripe apple.Highly recommend making a reservation because it is small and intimate.

Bar Crenn was everything I hoped it would be!Dominic Crenn has curated a space and cocktail menu inspired by San Francisco's rich history and her own culinary journey.The lounge can be found just next door to the famous Atelier Crenn. We found a spot at the bar and soaked in the vibes under dimly lit lights and ambient sounds of there vinyl collection. The space reminded me of cocktail bars in Tokyo or Kyoto. The service was unmatched.The drinks ranged between $17-$20 so I'd consider this a spot you'd go for a date night, special occasion, or if you're just tryna "treat yo self". I loved the experience and look forward to going back again soon.

Bar Crenn has amazing atmosphere and vibes! Love the decor, all of the staff were very attentive and so kind! The food was excellent. I will say that the "Greatest hits" was such a good way to try out all of the popular dishes. The onion turnover and cauliflower tartlet were absolutely amazing. All of the drinks were super good as well! I enjoyed both but really liked the M.I.A. It was a take on a paper plane! I would love to come back here and plan to do so!

The first time I visited Bar Crenn!!! It was a place where I could truly feel the elegance of a 3-star restaurant's bar!! The drinks, food, and staff were all amazing that night!!!

Took a late reservation at 9pm and the experience was exactly what I wanted. Two spots are the bar with velvet, comfortable stools. Excellent staff and drink recommendations for both alcohol and NA. The sound bar drives the atmosphere and Bar Crenn's chef and food speaks for itself. Sexy spot for a late date night tucked into the marina. Bonus: the bathroom has the black toilet I've been looking for my own home. Great vibes overall.

Nothing but praises for Bar crenn on my book and definitely a place that I hope to frequent. Drinks:Amazing cocktails... They do know their stuff... We first order specially cocktails from their menu, and you can't go wrong.. As much as I love my whiskey cocktails, I wanted something more spirit forward and traditional. It was recommended I try their old fashioned.. And it was the cleanest old fashioned I've ever had. Just wow!!Food:At first I thought id leave hungry... Dishes seemed similar to that of a tasting menu... Just enough.. But seeing all the food go around, I think we almost ordered the entire menu. Fine, I may be exaggerating. But probably at least half the menu... Service seemed quick for quality of food they brought out. One thing though, the seafood was fresh!!!! Oysters were perfect....Overall, this is a great place. One I wouldnt mind becoming a regular.. If only it weren't for the drive through SF.. Lol. Good food, amazing drinks... And perfect ambiance...

The ambiance is great, so is the service and the cocktails. Only ordered a couple of things to eat since we'd had dinner about an hour before our reservations. Next time we'll try more. In addition to a beautiful setting, they play vinyl which is a cool touch. I'm looking forward to going back soon.

Made a reservation here by mistake instead of their sister restaurant and what a happy accident it was! We were welcomed in immediately by the host and greeted with a moody, dim but warm ambiance. I sipped on a light and refreshing strawberry cocktail as the first dish arrived: the epi baguette! This came recommended as our server's favorite item so it was a must try for us and oh my goodness that anchovy spread was to die for! I don't even know what was in the crenn salad but I don't think I've ever loved a salad more than this one. A little bit bitter, sweet, and umami; you get all these yummy bites of garlic and wow, just chef's kiss!I would probably pass on the congee next time. It was good but not as spectacular as the rest and more on the too fishy side for me.The little piece of halibut though was worth every cent. It was incredibly soft, buttery, and the sauce they spooned over was the perfect amount of citrusy and savory. 10/10!

Since my last visit in 2019, Bar Crenn underwent an interior makeover and earned its first Michelin star. Bar Crenn now mostly operates as a pre fixe experience at the bar, known as Le Comptoir Crenn. They offer two seatings per evening. The menu presented 8 pescatarian and dairy free dishes. We opted for the wine pairing as well, which made this experience even more expensive. We saw a guest received a non-alcoholic option which was comprised of zero-proof cocktails. They do take walk-ins to enjoy a light snacks and drinks at the lounge seating. The service was excellent. Friendly, not stuffy and very conversational. That is what they are aiming with the bar seating experience. They encourage conversation and questions during service. The dishes on our menu included:+ Bleu Belle Farm tomato tar+ Beet, caviar and seed cracker (this was one of my favorites. The beets were fermented and paired beautifully with the caviar and the wine)+ Lobster mushroom bao bun+Crispy rice and poached uni+ King Crab and Abalone XO sauce + AbaloneDry aged trout+Paradise spritz for dessertChef Crenn's dedication to sustainably and ethically sourced ingredients means there is definitely of thought and consideration that goes into the menu.Overall, this was a lovely experience. The seamless service from the minute we walked through the very last dish was without a doubt 5-stars. The price point is where I'm a little dubious, namely for the wine pairing which was an additional $165 per person.
