Little Red Window

Great service, delicious cocktails, and live music. Didn't get a chance to eat but the food looked great. Would definitely go back.

Such a cute Jewish deli! We only stopped by for drinks on Sunday (while killing time before brunch), but I would absolutely return for food. We ordered at the take-out/outdoor table side (literally a little red window) and grabbed a picnic table to sit at. There aren't many tables here, but they can easily fit a larger party. Our three drinks were ready very quickly, and came in plastic to-go cups with paper straws. My friend and I got the Passion Fruit Spritz (not bad but a little too sweet for me) and our other friend chose the Manishewitz Shpritz (I actually liked this one more! Almost similar to sangria). There are 7 different Spritzes on the menu though, so I would happily try some more. Will be back!

Pros: great food and atmosphere. Cons: long waits, relatively high prices, limited space. My partner and I spent the day walking through the city, and stumbled across a restaurant labeled "WINDOW." It's immediately striking to look at, with bright colors and wood accents throughout the inside, and huge windows and colored lights on the outside. We came near closing time, so we were able to get a seat. The menu was different from the photos on Yelp; we expected sandwiches or burgers, but we discovered that it was mostly smaller plates. I am gluten sensitive, and I was pleased to find that almost everything on the menu was either already gluten-free or optionally available. We ordered 2 smaller dishes and 2 larger dishes: patatas bravas and blooming mushrooms as starters with spiced cauliflower and chicken paillaird as entrees. While we had to wait about half an hour for them, the starters were both amazing-- the mushrooms were flavorful and crispy, with a smoky taste. The patatas bravas were probably one of the most impressive potato dishes I've ever eaten. They were crispy and flaky, and were complimented well by the sauces in the dish. The entrees were also both great. The chicken had a slightly sweet sauce, and was cooked perfectly. The cauliflower had a rich flavor, though it came paired with very plain beans. For dessert, we ordered gluten-free churros, which tasted as close to the real thing as I've ever had! For 2 starters, 2 entrees, 1 drink, and a dessert, our total came out to just short of $100. All in all, I was very pleased with the dinner and would be happy to return if we are in the area.

I highly recommend eating here if you want to pay a lot of money and then get the wrong order. I ordered two double burgers with cheese. What did I get? Two single burgers with cheese. I usually let theses types of the things go because I hate to cause trouble, I just couldn't because the double patty costs $5 more. They quickly remedied the situation, but I just don't know what's up with the gal at the window. I enjoyed my drink, but the food isn't worth what it costs.

Little Red Window is a very cute spot on a corner in North Beach giving patrons the option of dining in or ordering from said red window and chilling outside while you eat and drink. We wanted something boozy before dinner and walked by this place. We decided to get a Lemon Drop Spritz and a beer. We knew it was going to be steep but it's SF so assumed as much. It was $20 before tip for both drinks but the spritz was a 16-20oz cup and very strong. In fact, I wish it had more of a lemon kick because all I tasted was the vodka and Prosecco but had a nice buzz going afterwards. The burgers and fries the table next to us received looked very good, so I'd check out the food if you're hungry.

Little Red Window serves big chicken sandwiches! I tried the Cluck It Like It's Hot and the fried chicken was literally twice the size of the bun. The flavor and crisp was good and there was a nice zing from the pickled jalapeño and kale slaw (the variation from a normal pickle/cabbage slaw made for a more adult/classy version of your normal hot chicken sandwich). It did take a long time for someone to actually come take our order/receive it but it's a solid meal to pick up when you want elevated comfort takeout.

There are two separate parts to this restaurant: the table service side and the take-out/outdoor table side. I am going to focus the Red Window outdoor side. Here's the thing about this restaurant, the concept is very good and the food is okay but the people that work here are horrible! HORRIBLE !!! They really do not understand their job nor do they do their job with any level of proficiency. If they had a competent staff who understood their job this would be a fun place to eat. But, they do not. To describe the process on the Red Window side of this restaurant, what you do is walk up to the window and place your order. You can then sit at the outdoor benches or take your food to-go. All good. Again, the problem is the staff. All you have to do to understand the problem with this restaurant is to get in line to order and you will immediately experience the problem. Just see how long it's gonna take for the staff to take one simple order. Then, when you finally get up to the window you will experience that the staff does not know the menu, understand how to properly use the equipment, and how to take a credit card. The other problem is, the staff apparently knows many of the local customers. I have stood in line watching the staff members and customers talk for upwards of ten minutes. This is just the wrong way to operate a restaurant!Moreover, why would they mess up such an easy order as two double burgers and waffle fries? How hard is it??? But, that was exactly what happened with my most recent experience. I reported the problem but to get them to figure out what they did wrong the staff member had to call up three other staff members just to get it right. Are you kidding me?Combine this with the fact that they did not give me any napkins when they finIly got my order right. I had to go back and ask for napkins for two people. What the staff member gave me was one napkin. When I got back to the table I realized this. Thus, I had to go back up to the window and stand in line behind other customers whose orders were being taken (very slowly) and most likely incorrectly, just to get the napkins that we should have been provided with in association with the burgers in the first place. Owners, get a clue! You have a great concept but hire some reliable and well trained staff.

Dinner is definitely a lot better than breakfast here but it is decently priced for breakfast. I ordered a bunch of things for dinner w friends and everything we got was good. It was awhile back so can't recall all the dishes. However, came to breakfast recently and the pancakes aren't worth it but the pork hash is! The pork hash was yummy and the meat was nicely crispy on the outer but still almost like pulled pork on the inside but in bite sizes!! If you're looking for tapas style for breakfast, get the pinxtos. I thought the biscuit and gravy was okay but it's fun to share small dishes w friends. 3/5 breakfast and 4/5 for dinner!

Tried my first Rueben ever here and I have to admit, I liked it a lot more than I thought I would! It doesn't look or smell good but it was dank!!! Would definitely come back!!

I'm an empanada fan, but I'm also a real picky one. In fact, I'm more often disappointed​ than not. But man, these were amazing! Really loved the dough! It's not thick and doughy. It's on the thinner side, yet substantial enough to contain all that delicious filling. The filling to dough ratio is also on point too. They're not large, but honestly, I don't like those massive overstuffed ones with the filling to dough ratio all off. My favorite was the beef, but the pork and peppers and chicken ones are also great. They're all super tasty without being overly salted. Literally,​ keep your eyes​ out for a little red window. That's where they're taking orders and operating inside a small kiosk. No tables or seating. Just strictly take out from a little red window. So cute! They're not exactly inexpensive at $6.00 each, but they really are good, and some of the best in the Bay!TIP: Frozen empanadas are also available to take and bake at home. I wish I had picked some up!
