Best Casual Restaurants in Cow Hollow

Perry’s is our favorite restaurant in SF. I would describe it as a European casual-neighborhood vibe. A great location for lunch or dinner. Service is always good. Staff is super nice. And the menu has entree size (big) salads! Never had a bad meal here & we eat here often. Perry’s has become our “go to” restaurant. Outdoor “sidewalk cafe” has a nice vibe & easy parking in a parking garage (right next door).

It was great for the family, we had a large group of ten with four kids. Everyone left happy!

We went to The Brixton for a Valentine’s Day dinner, and while we have seen this place in the neighborhood for a few years, and longer, this was our first time dining here. They gave my wife a rose, which was a VERY nice touch and this place was packed and everyone was also here for a Valentine’s Day dinner, as to be expected. Being packed, I think, absolutely affected the food quality. It wasn’t bad, and it wasn’t great either. We ordered cocktails that showed up quickly and we’re very tasty. Our appetizers were a spinach and artichoke dip, which was very tasty. The kale caesar salad with lima beans was good. My wife ordered the baked chicken which was lovely. I ordered the filet mignon - medium rare. It came out medium well. Despite sitting literally next to the kitchen, I saw how backed up it was and didn’t have the heart to send it back. The back-of-house resembled an episode from “The Bear”, because it was that busy. I just wish I got a steak knife and our server was so swamped, I couldn’t catch her to get one. I would like to point out that our server was as sweet as can be, along with the other staff handling our food. I think the biggest miss of the night was when we ordered dessert, and it was the sundae. I think it took us anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour to get it. I mean we didn’t mind because it allowed us to stretch out our date, yet didn’t The Brixton want to turn over our table? They could have easily asked us if we wanted more cocktails while we waited, and we would have absolutely ordered more, because why not?. This would have resulted in ordering something with higher profit margins and they could have then comp’d us on the sundae for the long wait, which would have changed the trajectory of this review, and of the immediate possibility of giving this place another try. Would I go back to The Brixton? Maybe. I’ll give them a little grace for being busy. Just a few miscues altered my overall impression & experience.

I am not vegan but wanted an experience for my vegan friend during our visit in SF from the east coast. This place is a delight. I had the pasta a la vodka and she had the squash pizza. Delicious! The vibe is airy, relaxed and sophisticated. So glad we tried this place!

Everything about this restaurant was outstanding! This was my first time here and it definitely won't be the last. Exceptional customer service began when I booked my reservation thru OpenTable and then had to make an adjustment to my arrival time - no problem; they accommodated my request without any issue at all at this very popular location. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and seated right away. It was my birthday, and on our table was a birthday card signed by all the staff. Because we were so excited about trying this restaurant, we already knew what we wanted to eat and we were *not disappointed! The food was truly delicious and was presented so beautifully. I'd go as far as saying the food was prepared with love - you can literally sense it. Service to our table was fantastic, with most staff coming by to check on us - each of them with warm and friendly dispositions. The atmosphere was very lively for brunch, which made it very enjoyable. I'm a chicken and waffles fan, and will order it if it's on the menu ... let's just say 6 Tables' chicken and waffles is hands down the best I've ever had! Not to mention their Red Velvet latte - oh my gosh - order one!! I honestly can't wait to return to this restaurant the next time I'm in the City!
