Mykonos Meze

★★★★★ 4.5 (819) • $$

"Overall, it was a fantastic experience. The restaurant staff welcomed our large party warmly and even allowed us to order drinks before everyone had arrived. During the appetizer phase, we were treated to a delicious variety of both hot and cold appetizers. The pacing was spot-on, allowing us to sample everything without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.For the entrée, I had the Branzino with a side of pilaf rice, and it was absolutely amazing, the fish was cooked to perfection. For dessert, I ordered the baklava ice cream. While I wasn't a huge fan of it (the ratio of baklava to ice cream felt a bit off), it was still a sweet and enjoyable way to end the meal.Definitely a great restaurant, and I'll be sure to visit again when I'm in the area!"

LaLe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (697) • $$

"10am Saturday. Determined to see Flower Piano in Golden Gate Park, I skipped breakfast in order to find a parking space near the Botanical Garden in Golden Gate Park. Taking a day off from my perfect Avocado Toast quest I found LaLe, an easy walk. .Nice! They have a parklet, should it ever get warm enough. Inside, comforting dim lights, warm wood arched plank ceiling, like 1/2 a fancy giant wine barrel. Clever solution for a too high ceiling I'm guessing. Definitely a classy casual vibe, country-ish rock music, you can still have conversation. This is no laptop village, people are talking to each other! Wallpaper is enlarged French newspapers with giant tulips incorporated.Ordered a la carte 2 fried eggs, 4 strips bacon, muffin. Bummer the eggs not medium well as ordered, rather runny, more than made up for it with the homemade jam & muffin.By 10:30 folks were streaming in. MUNI N Judah on the corner.Destination worthy.Support Local!"

Okoze Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.1 (718) • $$$

"For me, Okoze is the most exceptionally well balanced sushi restaurant in SF. No hype, just great sushi, good atmosphere, and fair prices. This is one of a handful of sushi restaurants I've visited where I feel the food is equal to what I experienced in Japan. The nigiri is consistent and never disappoints. Highly recommended."

Bota Tapas & Paella Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (581) • $$$

"Fantastic experience at Bota Tapas & Paella Bar for my birthday celebration.We ordered Sangria, Pinot Noir & marinated olives mixed appetizer to start.Comfortable seating, clean, beautiful interior.Easy to make reservations online ahead of time.Entrees grilled Octopus & Lamb Chops.

It was so delightful. Made my celebration so memorable!Highly reccommed the grilled Octopus!Enjoy!"

Etcetera Wine Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (480) • $$

"This wine bar has great quality wines and really excellent service. Service is always kind and helpful.. My only complaint is that seats at the indoor tables are really low and for tall people and it can be difficult getting out of the booths. It's are however still a 5 star review for the quality of wine, food and service."

Kothai Republic

★★★★★ 4.6 (369)

"Inventive flavors, welcoming service, cozy ambiance as you watch the world go by through the tall glass walls on the corner of 9th & Judah. All but one of the tables was full when I entered sans reservation and it only became so when a couple offered to split their 4-top. We had a lively conversation about food and San Francisco places.I ordered Yellowtail Carpaccio ($23) that was delicate yet deeply flavored with ginger miso aioli, chili oil and a nori chip.The meltingly tender pork chop over miso parsnip purée ($39) was punctuated with a grilled fresno pepper to balance the sweetness of the glaze but whose scoville rating I didn't fully appreciate until the first bite (that'll teach me!) I really appreciated the cooking method of the pork chop as it was medium yet the fat was perfectly rendered. I ate every bite even though I intended to take half of it home.With a slightly peppery Russian River Pinot Noir, it was the perfect meal.Service was on point, every step felt ideally timed and unhurried.I like their menu very much and photos of certain brunch items look very tempting. I'll be back."

Gilberths Latin Fusion

"This is one of my regular spots for both pick up and dine in. The food is always delicious, they are very timely, and they do very well with any special request. My favorites include the burrito, puerco pibil, and I really enjoy their Palmito salad. The ambience is also pretty cool, great spot. Very pleased with their service."

"Love this place - my favorite neighborhood bar for drinks and great food :)Love their quesadillas and they do serve an amazing guacamole. Drinks are great and diverse ."

Iberia Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (378) • $$$

"If you're looking for some authentic, Spanish cuisine in the SF Peninsula, I recommend this place! From the moment you get there, the exterior looks very European! Once inside you feel transported to a small Spanish town. The interior is very cozy and intimate. We ordered several typical tapas. Patata bravas, croquetas and pa amb tomaquet to start. The food came out and looked so delicious. Tasting them also was another level. The food tasted fresh, full of flavour and an authentic. The food tastes as if you're at a family dinner, full of good seasoning and flavours. We ordered the paella to share, and of course you have to order it sacarrat style which is with crispy edges. The desserts were amazing and súper good! The service was great, with our hostess checking in with us throughout the dinner. I've driven by this place hundreds of times and finally got to try it. Parking is along the street. I also highly recommend making reservations as this place is on the smaller side. It's a must try!"

Savor

★★★★★ 4.7 (257) • $$

"I'm not vegan or vegetarian but I'd convert if I ate food from here everyday. On a whim my friend and I decided to catch-up and try something healthy, we found savor and it looked amazing. Parking in the area can be a bit difficult but it wasn't too bad. We got seated right away and the guy helping us gave us great recs we had 3 things that we shared and it was enough for us. We had the hot and cold asparagus which was amazing! I love asparagus and it wasn't overcooked , it was still crisp and it had a great sauce that went with it. We also had this dish with tofu and caramleized onions and some greens on the bottom. It was super flavorful and tasty, we devoured this so fast. The mushroom knaffe was so crispy with a bunch of savory mushrooms inside. We loved this as well. We ended dinner with their bread pudding and it was also super soft and not too sweet. Could taste some jam on top and cinnamon, was the perfect way to end the meal.Will definitely be coming back when i stop by in the area. Love this place and can't get enough of it! Total for 2 w/ tax & tip: $70"

"Overall good vibes even on a Monday night! We got the hot toddy and liquid sunshine with the shroom Tartine.. followed by kali mojo and padrino which were decent for a second round"

MKT Restaurant and Bar

★★★★☆ 3.8 (228) • $$$

"And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been -- Rainer Maria Rilke A last minute reservation for NYE resulted in a lovely dinner at MKT. A 6 course second seating with music and DJ to ring in 2025. The food was excellent...particularly the tuna amuse bouche, caviar course, truffle pasta and wagyu tenderloin. View of SF was pretty and we got a deal on a half bottle of Ridge 2015 Montebello when my first choice (the cheaper choice) was sold out. The DJ was heavy on 60's - 70's almost novelty hits, could have used some more funk or Prince. Service was outstanding. A great dinner at the last moment :-) Highly recommended! At least on NYE :-)!"

Corner Table

★★★★☆ 4.4 (139) • $$

"AMAZING - this place is truly a gem! There is actually a Sushi restaurant next door and they share a patio, so you can easily order from either, which was ideal for our picky group. We sat outside - who knew the middle of February would have a blast of warm sunshine.Food - 1/2 our group ordered from Corner Table, the other half ordered from the Sushi place. Loco Moco - 10/10 - my brother may as well have licked his plate! he said it was delicious and very flavorful.Kids Burger 10/10 - my nephew loved it, it was a nice size and cooked well - fresh bun.Grilled Cheese 8/10 - my son enjoyed it, but wished he would have ordered his cousin's burger instead, next time he will!Avocado Toast 10/10 - HUGE portion, lots of great Avocado and a nice big salad, my SIL said it was really tasty.It was awesome, we had such a lovely time and the friendliness of everyone there truly made this a 5 out of 5 experience! We are already figuring out our next brunch date as a family!"

Yasijang

★★★★★ 4.7 (79)

"Yasijang does bar-style Korean food right! We came on Sunday ready to order Korean food, and it worked out perfectly because their sushi chef doesn't work Sundays. I really liked the dark interior and neon lights. My friend told me she'd been there several times already, and she had a bottle on the wall with her name on it to measure the bottle caps she had accumulated! Only one person was working front of house that night so service wasn't quick, but he was super friendly, and I was enjoying my time there. We got 3 dishes shared between 3 people:Pork fried rice daily special - The classic was done well!Dooboo kimchi daily special - Pretty straightforward concept with slices of tofu paired with marinated pork cooked with kimchi. Solid little dish I've never had beforeNagasaki Champon - I guess we didn't only get Korean food, but to me, this was the best! I happily polished off the eclectic ramen of seafood, noodles, and loads of veggies.I'll probably go back, since it's so easy to get to next to the 49 bus stop."

Zenpo Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.4 (77)

"Sushi spot before a show at the SF Symphony. It was packed and only had to wait a little bit. Service was quick and friendly and they even had tvs with basketball on. Price is about standard for sushi in SF. Quality was so-so. It is really impressive that there is a robot that will deliver the plates to you moving on its own! Salad and seaweed salad were highlights for me and good portions. Ambiance is small sushi shop!"

Fire Hibachi

★★★★☆ 3.5 (11)

"Highly recommend this place. I personally would rate it, four out of five however, my husband gives it a five out of five. To me what makes the food amazing is the sauces. I feel like they have to add more seasoning to their food. The service is great. The ambiance is okay, it's a food truck so be prepared to wait a while and there's no chairs for customer to sit. Other than that I highly recommend this place."

State Bird Provisions

★★★★☆ 4.2 • $$$$

"We have been wanting to try this restaurant for so long and finally glad we made it happen! I really love the concept and dim sum style where they walk around and offer different dishes. It's super unique and all the dishes were delicious! Lots of veggie options which was great for us! The staff were all super friendly and helpful while we decided what to try. Will definitely be coming back another time!"

Lolinda

★★★★☆ 4.2 • $$$

"I really enjoy this food because of the atmosphere and delicious food.I've been here quite a few times for birthday dinners, date nights and when friends are visiting from out of town.They have a great selection on the menus.Great to share family style/Tapas. You get more bang for the buck and the ability to try more of the menu. The drinks are delicious as well.Sometimes it can be quite busy so I would recommend making a reservation."

New England Lobster Market & Eatery

★★★★☆ 4.3 • $$

"Wasn't sure about the location of this spot, but decided to try it since it was walkable from our hotel. Service was fast. Food was delicious! Even my husband who's not a fan of seafood enjoyed his hotdog. Great patio with umbrellas."

Coqueta

★★★★☆ 4 • $$$

"Came out for lunch and enjoyed just about everything. I missed out on photos of the menu and the first 4 dishes or so but overall dishes were great my favorite were the Paella de tinta black paella. The seafood was cooked perfectly and the rice had wonderful flavoring which was both rich and tasty.The drinks were great! even the non-alcholic ones. Atmostphere was a bit crowded, but it is a small restaurant so I understand the need to fit as many people in as possible. However, with the price you're paying I do wish we had a little more breathing room. All in all, I would definetly come back."
