TRACE

This W Hotel restaurant features warm service and well executed dishes. The price point is high, as you might expect from a downtown San Francisco hotel. butI enjoyed my lunch dishes, as well as my shashuka breakfast.

7/2/23 Day 2 at TRACE, today our server is Jane, the fabulous Alvin, our server yesterday, was so amazing with the attentiveness & service....and the food being delicious, my friends & I decided to return the next day. We're staying at The W, so this is also convenient. There's a myriad of options in this beautiful city but this makes the most sense due to the wonderful experience we've had. In short, check out the pictures posted of our food-just tasty, delicious with superb service from Jane. By far the most attentive of our servers this stay at the W at TRACE. Coffee is definitely more than decent & the detail of how the service made for a very delightful experience, I cannot express that enough. Everything at this establishment has been stellar except for one individual which I will mention for my review of The W San Francisco, stay tuned because, I will try not to leave a scathing review of his behavior. Will definitely return if were ever in this fair city.

While staying at the W hotel, I had $40 each day to spend at the property. I was able to enjoy a light fare and coffee at Trace. I got the twisted cinnamon roll, fruit bowl and a cup of coffee. I didn't realize that if you're staying at the W hotel, the coffee is waived until I got the check. I enjoyed everything that morning and the staffs were friendly and efficient. Would recommend if you're nearby or staying at the W.

Okay hear me out. This place is amazing. We had breakfast today and never imagined a service like this. The food was prepared quick yet had all the flavors of hours of manual labor. The staff was attentive and never let a glass go empty. The ambiance was relaxing while also classy. We have a few more breakfasts coming up this week, but if this is what it is like, I can't wait for the morning to come!

Nice place. French toast was really tasty with crispy texture I enjoyed. Would have liked to have known ahead of time that there would be cream on top for anyone lactose-intolerant. My friend had the cinnamon bun and enjoyed most of it though. Seemed very filling as she couldn't finish it. Good deal for $8 while the French toast was $26. Little steep on coffee being $6. Good combo with the $40 destination package.

Trace is a brunch eatery located in the lobby of W San Francisco. An included daily room credit brought our gang here for some morning fare. ATMOSPHERE:High ceilings, big windows, trendy decor and lighting. RESERVATIONS:Not needed as there were lots of open tables. PARKING:Hotel valet, street or the garage on Howard Street. BRUNCH MENU:Handful of continental and traditional breakfast selections, alcohol. BEVERAGE:Mimosa - $13.00Adequate, conventional offering. FOOD:Avocado Toast - $23.00I was hoping it'd be a light dish but it was very hearty. The single, oversized toast was blanketed with mashed avocado, two eggs and seasoned pea sprouts. Very good. SERVICE:Host service was immediate and professional. Our server was equally good. OVERALL:Slightly pricey with delectable offerings.

I had checked in early enough at the W that I was looking for a breakfast spot and after trying to find an entrance but found it was in the lobby of the hotel. I did that slow, 'looking for someone to help' walk since there wasn't anyone at the host stand and there were 2 tables occupied; had they closed down early because it was so quiet?Someone came up and asked me if I'm staying at the hotel and I said I had just checked in. She didn't seem to register that but I got seated adjacent to one of the occupied tables, a little weird since there was so much space in the place.I guess it ended up making sense, less space for our server to traverse. I looked at the menu and saw they had bagel and lox on the menu. I ordered that and since I found myself to be exceptionally hungry get 2 eggs and links as well. My server took my order came back, with curt efficiency and let me be. I wasn't expecting much from the bagel and it was thin but pretty tasty, not just bread with bagel seasoning on it. The lox though was pretty good as well, not overly salty or greasy. The eggs and sausage helped with that. My meal got assigned to my room.

Very good burgers. Everything on the menu is good. This is one of our go to breakfast amd brunch spots. Customer service is outstanding and staff is friendly.

We stumbled upon this place after the line for a place down the street was too long. It's inside the W, and you have to enter through the lobby. We got confused as there's a door with a menu and the name on the side, however the door is locked (and we weren't the only ones that had this issue). The inside was pretty, we got seated immediately. Good looking menu, but the food was just blah. Lacking flavor. After we paid, we ended up having to wait for someone to meet us so we tried to order another round of mimosas, however they never came. Our waiter was nice, very knowledgeable about allergies. Overall it was fine, convenient for where we were located, but wouldn't come here for the food.

Valentine touch was incredible, the hospitality was so lovely, we were pumped up.The dinner serving had an excellent palate selection. Will come again, decent bargain, beautiful ambiance you don't want it to end.
