Xebec

Amazing fusion delicacies, lovely service and cute space. The only complaint was the size of the table which was a tad small for four. Our server was knowledgeable and the staff was very attentive.My favorite appetizer was the shrimp ravioli and the eggplant roll, so delicious. The beef lamb burger was really delicious and whatever they put on the potatoes should be bottled and sold. Alas, the dessert was hit and miss, apparently you are into it or not. I loved the honey pistachio rose flavors, but the actual delicacy's texture was a no for me.I recommend going with a group of people to taste a variety of dishes.

We went to the Valentine's prix fixe; the food was good but the service was very poor. We were seated quickly but did not see a server for 20 minutes; it was 45 minutes before our first dish came out. Of the five dishes on the menu, the first three then came within 10 minutes of each other (out of order, and we had to grab a waiter to let them know we were missing a dish). Then there was another drought of about 45 minutes until our last two dishes arrived. Our waiter/server never checked in with us, and honestly we barely saw him on the floor the entire night.Foodwise, everything but the dessert was very tasty. The grilled sea bass and miso short ribs were particularly good. Service was terrible, though, especially for a night like Valentine's when you are hoping for something a little nicer.

My friend and I came in for drinks the other night. This is a new Japanese/Mediterranean fusion spot in Hayes. Right off the bat I noticed the beautiful interior decor. Appreciate the thought that was put into it. Such a cozy and chic vibe. We ordered the flowers not fists and the return of the sumac for our cocktails. Shoutout to our amazing bartender, Amir, who did not disappoint with making our cocktails. They were amazing! We also ordered the ceviche which was delicious. We really liked the Japanese crackers that came with it. I will definitely have to come back and try more of their food items next time.

Feeling generous and rounding up to 4 stars. Nice new Mediterranean fusion place in busy Hayes Valley that makes you feel like you're in someone's cozy home. Service was warm and bartenders were friendly and on top of it.The food had some hits and misses. It started out strong with the Italian Eggplant Parcel appetizer, which was a warm appetizer and was very delicious! I'd definitely order again. For the main course, we tried the lamb/beef burger that came with choice of salad or potato bravas and the pasta with miso cream. The burger was quite tasty, very juicy and good portion. The potato bravas was a standout and you can order that on the appetizer menu too. Now, the pasta on the other hand might have been THE worst and most tasteless pasta I have ever had, including what I make myself! You couldn't taste the miso or cream and it was rather watery. There was also no flavor or salt. The only thing I can think of is that there are a lot of older patrons dining here before/after opera and symphony that they have this no-sodium option? I don't know, I'm trying to think of why it could be this tasteless. You know it's bad when the bartender brings you salt/pepper when they bring you the dish! Anyways, wish the waiter would have warned us and now consider yourself warned. Dinner for 2 with 2 drinks will run to $150-$200. Not sure I'll be looking to come back anytime soon.

Delicious food, very interesting flavors. I love how attentive the service is. The ambience is great too, absolutely lovely living room feel, cosy and chic space. We liked the eggplant, the burger with potato, the ceviche, not quite into the cauliflower.

Rounding up from a 3.5~I came here with a few friends on a thursday night and it was super busy! We arrived a few minutes before our reservation but had to wait about 15-20 minutes before we could be seated. I think my favorite part about the restaurant was the modern chic interior and the vibe! We ordered a few dishes to try and though presentation was great, we felt the flavors were just okay and not necessarily impressive.

We had tons of small plates and really yummy drinks! I would definitely recommend this spot, it's small and has a modern but cozy vibe to it!

I dined at Xebec SF with friends, and it's clear this new spot is already making waves in the SF dining scene. The ambiance is chic and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a memorable night out. We started with the patatas bravas, which were perfectly crispy, and the prawn ravioli, which was elevated by a warm dashi ponzu sauce. Unfortunately, the uni arancini didn't quite hit the mark; the subtle uni flavor got lost among the other ingredients.For mains, the seafood linguine was a standout, featuring a spicy tomato broth and fresh seafood that really delivered. The skirt steak was also impressive, cooked medium well, it was tender and flavorful without feeling too heavy. Both dishes had just the right portion sizes, making the meal satisfying without overdoing it.Service was a highlight, thanks to our server Paulette, who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Her attentive and friendly demeanor truly added to the evening. Overall, Xebec SF is off to a strong start and definitely worth checking out. I'm already planning my next visit!

Xebec was a great restaurant find! My friend and I came here for Friday dinner and we were both very impressed by the food and the service. We went with our waiter's recommendations - Xeviche, mussels, roasted cauliflower and Uni Arancini as appetizers, split lamb burgers with patatas bravas and sea bass as our entrees and the halawet el-jiben as our dessert. The sea bass was just outstanding and was the highlight of the meal for me. The halawet was a very unique dessert and i highly recommend that as well. The restaurant is nice and modern. With tax and tip, this was around $110 per person which is tremendous value for what we got. Highly, highly recommended!!!

Great find for the middle of the week! A twist of modern Japanese. Tastes were exquisitely surprising. Small portions that fill you up just right. Service is nice and friendly. Our server made the right suggestions for us. So many to choose from so we def have to come back. The feel of the place is very cozy with a home feel but classy. Loved it! What an amazing experience.
