Our dinner prior the Hamilton show went well. Uccello is a few minutes away from Orpheus theater and the walk was a good 7 minutes. Our server was well aware of our Broadway show and suggested we order all our food at the same time. The food was good and service decent. The duck was prepared well. Calamari is ok and the tartare is wonderful. I saw a grand piano and it looks like shows happen here as well. I will definitely will be back.

Wandering into Uccello Lounge in San Francisco was a detour before diving into a symphony across the street. The place has a certain air, almost as if it knows it's a hidden gem in the city.I started the evening with a glass of Chablis. It was delightful and what I think every wannabe Chardonnay is trying to be. My wife opted for a gin martini that she now swears is the best in the city (Not pictured). The double smash burger we shared was a revelation. Not your typical ground beef patty, this was something more primal. I swear I caught glimpses of beef chunks on the plate, suggesting a preparation that respects the meat's integrity. It was juicy, flavorful, and very satisfying.Uccello Lounge is the kind of place that makes you linger, savoring each bite, each sip, and made me consider for the slightest moment to change our plans for the rest of the evening. In a city with no shortage of dining options, Uccello manages to stand out. Five stars, easily. I'm already plotting my return.

This is a very good restaurant to make a stop at before you go to the Symphony, Ballet, or City Hall for an event. It is on the ground floor of the Music of Conservatory building. I wish I had known that before it took me a bit to find it since the signage is not that obvious. It's relatively small but the food was big in flavor and presentation. Everything we ate was very good. The cocktails were beautiful and unique as well. Very impressed with the food, drinks and service.

My husband and I had an amazing time at Uccello Lounge! We came on a Friday at 7:30pm for dinner, which was perfect timing because the live music starts at 8pm!We ordered some apps, drinks, and entrees to share, but my favorites were the dungeness crab salad, calamari, and the black cod. The pear & walnut cake was to die for as well! The drinks are also pretty inventive--I loved their waxwing martini and 20th century cocktail, the latter being super creative with the creme de cacao. Hubby also liked his super shandy zero-proof cocktail with espresso and lemon.I know I said the food was good, but the live music was the highlight of our night! There aren't a lot of places where you can have a great dinner, strong drinks, and live music all in one. I also liked people watching from across the street of symphony hall too, ha! We will definitely be back for date night :) can't wait!

I'll recommend this place because the food was solid plus on certain nights they have live music playing. The atmosphere is chill and the bar looks nice. The staff and super friendly and attentive. However when we went, a vagrant from the street was able to enter the lounge and disrupted the vibe. He didn't cause a commotion but was a reminder that this lounge is in the Civic Center and isn't immune from that element coming in. Additionally I was over charged on my bill which is never fun...

No place I'd rather go after the Symphony is over. Uccello is staffed by Conservatory students, I understand. My friend and I had Hiyab, who was absolutely charming. Just a glass of EH Taylor and a Waxwing martini, with some carpaccio to wash it down. But the huge glass front facing Davies Hall, and high ceilings, made it feel so bright and open. There was an excellent three piece jazz ensemble, presumably students as well. I'll always stop by when the music stops.

I live in the area and have been looking forward to trying the new restaurant at the SF Conservatory of Music. They are only open for dinner service from Thursday through Saturday and they offer a higher end dining experience.My friend and I shared their steak tartare, fried Monterey bay squid, stone fruit and baby lettuce salad, Turkish manti dumplings, wagyu strip steak and apricot cake. Everything was excellent. The steak tartare is a must order - their preparation with the shiso leaves and puffed rice really makes for a unique bite. The calamari came out nice and crispy and I loved the black garlic aioli. The stone fruit and baby lettuce salad was a highlight for me (and I'm not a salad person) - the honey vinaigrette really went well with the stone fruit and the toasted quinoa added a great crunch element to the dish. The Turkish manti dumpling is a unique dish that really blends East and West and the wagyu strip steak was so tender. When we asked about dessert, our server recommended the apricot cake and it was a great choice. They have really good non-alcoholic beverages and I highly recommend the Adriatic Spritz. Service was very attentive and the venue is just spectacular. Towards the end of our meal, they had some students performing a few of their jazz pieces. With tax and tip, this was $125 per person but it was worth it given the great experience. They are really a fantastic dining option for theater, opera and symphony goers. Highly, highly recommended.

Had tickets for a show and Uccello looked like a nice place to have drinks and some bites beforehand. Totally was not disappointed. Staff were amazing. Seated us promptly and made excellent recs from the menu. The Uccello cappuccino was delicious and I savored every last drop. Nice, rich broth made of lobster and mushrooms and came with a nice buttery and crisp crouton. The potato batons were a treat too and I've never had a better goddess dressing/dip. Like an upscale tater tot on steroids lol. The tartar was nice as well as the swordfish. Save room for dessert. That's good too. Will have to come back for the live music.
