- IivarsSan Francisco Bay Area •18 reviews4.0Dined todayExcellent service to move most customers, who were attending the opera or symphony in time to make their performance. Food was good to excellent especially the paella. What we did not like was the $5 pp surcharge to fund who knows what? I don’t want to seem “cheap” but I did not tip on top of the junk fees and left 20% on the food only bill.More infoHayes Street GrillPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Civic Center / Hayes Valley / Van Ness•4.7
- SSpencerSan Francisco Bay Area •6 reviews5.0Dined 1 day ago10 out of 10, this place was AMAZING! The blended service of ordering items of the menu and Dim sum style with the carts was fantastic. Our server gave up great advise in only ordering a few things from the menu then waiting for the carts to come around. We went here for my wife's birthday and she was so happy we did. We will for sure be back for another special occasion.More infoState Bird ProvisionsPrice: Very Expensive• Californian• Western Addition•4.8
- RRuthvipSan Francisco Bay Area •156 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe love this reliably delicious restaurant. I just wish that this and other restaurants in the area were open later. We were able to go after the symphony this evening only because it was a short concert, but usually the opera and symphony conclude too late for us to have dinner here. I realize restaurants are reluctant to commit to later hours given concerns over demand, but I think the ones in this neighborhood would do better business if they did so. We love to eat in this area after a performance, and this is one of the better options. The food is decadently delicious, the atmosphere is cozy and elegant, and the service has never disappointed. They know what they're doing.More infoAbsinthe Brasserie and Bar - SFPrice: Expensive• French• Civic Center / Hayes Valley / Van Ness•4.8
- RRobinHawaii •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoWe really enjoyed our dinner at Nopa. Beginning with the bread and butter. All I can say is order it. Next we had the Tortelli which was excellent (not to be missed). We also had the Tagliatelle with the bolognese sauce which was very good. For dessert we had the key lime pie which was good but the ice cream that came for the birthday person was outstanding. Our server who was excellent said it was ginger snap but it didn’t taste like ginger. Best ice cream I’ve ever eaten. Can’t wait to go back for my birthday and have that ice cream.More infoNopa - San FranciscoPrice: Expensive• Californian• North Panhandle / USF•4.6
