    Went with a big group for the Drag Brunch today. We had an amazing time and performers were stellar. It was a nearly perfect experience. First the drinks were delicious with a good assortment of options, I opted for the Amaro Spritzer. We ordered a bunch of plates for the table to share and I can say that each dish was great in terms of flavor. Table favorites were the French Toast and the Crab Benny. Two small areas for improvement, and or things to be aware of if you are planning to dine here during the brunch. 1) Once the show started it became almost the hunger games to get another round. We were there from 11:30 to 2:30 and I only had two Amaro Spritzes as a result. 2) Despite being a a full priced appetizer the chicken wings come with 3 wings on a plate. Still an amazing time and we will be back.

    The show was great! I think the kitchen, bar, and wait staff were understaffed. It took over an hour to get the drinks we'd ordered and then they were wrong. We had been warned that the kitchen had a backlog, and it took an hour and a half to get our meals after we ordered. The wait staff was trying hard to keep up, but there just didn't seem to be enough of them. The bathroom was not easy to find without help, but once pointed in the right direction, it was easy.

    Cute spot with a large balcony and plenty of seating. I stopped here for a little martini before dinner by myself and enjoyed the calm up there. The espresso martini was OK, but I'd love to come back to try other things! It's definitely a place I'd take my girls out to.

    5 stars for the drag show 4 stars for the massive rooftop/patio - but in the TL 3 stars for the food but that's not why you're here anyway Can't speak for drinks or night scene - haven't been here besides drag brunch in probably a decade!

    If you're looking for a brunch that's way more than eggs and mimosas, 620 Jones in San Francisco is it. This spot isn't just a restaurant, it's an experience. We went for a Halloween themed drag show to celebrate a friend's 40th, and it was absolute perfection. The food, Delicious. The drinks, Strong, fun, and fairly priced. The menu isn't massive, but it's perfectly curated, something for everyone. I ordered the burger, and while it was juicy and cooked just right, the real winners were the fries. Imagine thick, slightly curled steak fries with that golden crunch outside and pillowy softness inside. Unreal. Everything happens outdoors, so layer up, it's San Francisco, after all. Bring cash for tipping and exchanging bills (trust me, you'll want to support these performers). Just know that tabs can add up fast, so pace yourself between sips and sequins. The staff is warm, the vibes are high, and while service can move a bit slow, that's just the rhythm of the crowd since most tables fill and empty around the showtime. The performance itself runs about two hours, giving you plenty of time to eat, drink, laugh, cheer, and fall a little in love with every queen on stage. 620 Jones is an absolute must for anyone craving good food, better company, and a show that leaves your cheeks sore from smiling.

    Tucked away, but such a vibe. Came here for a work happy hour and was disappointed to see there weren't more people on a sunny day. The food was good and the drinks were delicious . Highly recommend punch bowls for large groups, they come with individual cups instead of straws, and honestly, it was the perfect move

    Grabbed dinner and drinks at 620 Jones with friends recently. The outdoor patio is beautifully designed with great lighting and greenery, honestly one of the nicest outdoor spaces I've seen. The Double Pepperoni Pizza was excellent perfectly crispy crust, generous toppings, just really solid. The Crispy Cauliflower was more forgettable, though the hot honey helped. The major issue? The Tenderloin location. I spotted a rat running through the patio during our meal, which pretty much killed the vibe. It's not the restaurant's fault, but it's hard to ignore. The food and ambiance are there, but the neighborhood is a real problem. I'd consider going back for takeout or indoor seating, but probably won't be returning to that patio.

    We were in San Francisco for a friends birthday weekend on a Sunday. There were 13 of us so we made a reservation. We had read the service can be slow so we were mentally prepared. We were sat immediately with some stragglers joining a few minutes later. Our server did come to get our drink order pretty soon after we were sat and provided water. We ordered mimosas by the pitcher as there were so many of us. For some reason the drinks took forever to come out every time even though we were seated right outside of the bar. They may want to add another bar tender to keep up during peak brunch hours on the weekend. A friend and I ordered a pitcher of fries and well that took even longer but was very tasty once it was out, a little on the sweet side for me but I would order it again, out hit the spot on this warm and sunny day. The outdoor seating area is pretty large and nice, definitely a vibe. They took our food orders and everything came out correctly though we were disappointed that everything came out at crazily different times even though we'd all ordered together, like some entres came out 30 minutes later than others. I ordered the shrimp and grits which was really flavorful after mixing g in the miso butter. The shrimp were succulent and perfectly cooked though for the price point I think 5 shrimp would be more appropriate and they could double the amount of grits. It was basically an appetizer or tapa sized portion. I ended up ordering a second entree. The grits were more soupy than I'm used to, I feel grits are usually served light and fluffy when it comes to shrimp and grits but they were tasty. My second entree came out pretty quickly, it was biscuits and gravy so not very complicated. They were able to accommodate my request for a scrambled egg, but again for the price point 2 eggs doesn't seem like a big ask. The biscuits, wow, were they the star of the show! They were made with cream cheese and jalapeños and a slice of heaven. I will be dreaming of these biscuits for a very long time. The gravy was good, not great but it hit the spot. For the price point I think adding 2 sausage links or 2 slices of bacon would make it seem more of a value. The egg did come out perfectly scrambled. Most people liked their entree selections. A few more people had to order second entrees for themselves or to share to be full. My friend who ordered the crab cake Benedict was disappointed as the dish did not come with English muffins as a base, definitely a first and quite strange given our friend ordered a different Benedict and that came with English muffins. It didn't state this on the menu so she was confused and ended up having to order an English muffin on the side. Our friend's who ordered the breakfast burrito (2) were disappointed in both the size and amount of bacon in their burritos. One even asked the server if they had forgotten the meat. Again for the price point it might behoove them to double the amount of bacon or also add a second meat like sausage crumbles/chorizo/ham to bulk it up. Everyone else really liked their entrees. Now for the important parts the drag performance! The MC was amazing, so funny and absolutely fabulous at crowd interaction. Her performance and acrobatic abilities especially in high helmed boots was beyond impressive! The other 2 performers were wonderful as well. Every outfit was just fab! I'm hoping the excessive food pricing goes towards paying the performers lol! There was a gentleman walking around selling $1's which was so helpful, a much appreciate detail. He ended up running food and drinks too, very hard working guy. Our server was far from attentive, it was even hard to get her attention to flag her down and order additional items. In her defense I think they have too many tables per server and a slow bar. The table next to us seemed to not know where they were, a drag brunch lol! They were just kinda there and absorbed in their food but once they caught on (pretty sure they were foreign tourists that happened to wander in) they got into the action and started tipping g and dancing along to the show as well which was fun to watch. All and all a really cool patio with tasty food and wonderful drag performers. Definitely rely check them out! It looks like they have agregar happy hour and pics of their dinner selections looked really tasty.

    Smash burger and fries.
    Greg H.

    Stopped in for the drag brunch and was pleasantly surprised by the great food. The limited was small and limited but everything we had was full of flavor and very tasty. I had the smash burger and have to say the fried cheese skirt and sesame seed bun were superb. The fries were also unlike most French fries but also equally yum. Wife had the jalapeño biscuits with sausage gravy. If you are a fan of rosemary you will love this dish. She certainly did. The breakfast burrito my son had was also cooked perfectly and played perfectly. It too was served with a side of fries. The drag brunch itself was entertaining but felt being nestled in the corner the view was limited. I wish they would have raised the umbrellas in the middle as it may have improved our visibility to the fun and show.

    I would say everytime I come to 620, it isn't for the food (first time was for drag and second was for love island) but there food surprises me every time in the best way because it's really really good and flavorful. their brunch portion size last time I went (although 3 years ago) was great for the price and the fries were well seasoned. I got chicken tenders and wow! they killed it and sauce on side was nice balance. whatever season they use for their food works. their drinks were okay but fun love island themed!

    Popped in for a drink and a bite to eat on a sunny day- we wanted to be outside drinking cocktails to make the most of the sunny day and 620 Jones was the answer- nice big open patio area with plenty of seats in the sun. It was a mid afternoon on a saturday and was pretty quiet, so got our pick of seating. Nice ambiance with music playing in the background and the service friendly, engaging in small talk and quick at serving food and drinks. Got a margarita pizza to share and it was actually really delicious- nice and light and crispy with a good cheese ratio, nice and melty ricotta on top. Drinks are pretty stellar also! And a good selection of cocktails to choose from. Very nice place to spend an afternoon and grab some food and top notch cocktails in the sunshine!

    smoked salmon
    Steffanie T.

    Came here for the wicked drag brunch and it was a fun time! Service staff were super nice and attentive even with all the people and activities going on. Drag show was amazing and i would def go again for those vibes. I got the smoked salmon dish and that was the most disappointing dish ever. That deserves like a 0/5 There was barely any salmon, it didn't taste like it was smoked at all. There was a general lack of any type of seasoning. I would never get this dish ever again. I was still hungry after eating this because it was all bread (not even toasted/no one asked if i wanted it toasted) and barely anything else.

    Drag brunch is so fun here!!!! I can't stress that enough. The drinks are also incredible and reasonably priced especially for their punch bowls. The entertainment is so great it more than makes up for some minor delays in service that are likely caused by the non stop party that is the show they put on. The food is a little basic for a brunch spot and I wouldn't order the smoked salmon again but I suppose that's not why you go to a drag brunch. I recommend this place and remember to bring some cash for the queens!

    Where can I find the happy hour menu?

    just posted a pic of the HH menu!

    Do you have to be 21? For drag brunch?

    Hi Sarah, Thank you for your question.… 

    What times are the drag shows on Saturday and Sunday?

    12 pm

    Are Solo diners welcomed?

    I would say so, there is bar seating available if you want or tables indoor and outdoor.

    Are there any specials during brunch? How much is the bottomless mimosas?

    Are bottomless mimosas still available for brunch?

    Hi there! Unfortunately we’ve had to pause our bottomless service due to new city restrictions.

    Do you need to make reservations for Sunday brunch?

    Not at all! But for large parties, it does tend to make getting a table set-up a smoother process :)

    How do you book reservations for brunch?

    Hi there! Email private@620-Jones and we’ll get back to you ASAP!

    How do you make a reservation for 2 for lunch? They have private bookings on website. I tried calling and the message says they don't monitor the phones. Was referred to…

    So sorry to hear that! Our reservations are in fact handled online, so for future reservations, please feel free to email private@620-jones.com directly.

    Do they have bottomless mimosas?

    We absolutely do! They go for $16 each, but keep in mind, we stop pouring refills around 3pm.

    Does anyone know if you can bring a baby in a stroller? My friend is having a birthday party there but I see it's not kid friendly. Thanks!

    We have seen kids there so you should be fine.

    Can underage go to the rooftop and order a soft drink?

    It's a restaurant so I don't see why you won't be able too since it's not just a bar.

    Is this place 21+?

    Hi there! Jones is 21+ on Fridays and Saturdays after 10pm. We welcome families at any other time!

    Are minors allowed?

    yes, depends if its a drinks night or just a typical restaurant food night. Minors can order food, not drinks.

    We were in the city visiting, found ourselves near Diamond Heights around dinner time, found this…read moreplace Ingredients on Yelp. High ratings, few reviews, but we were adventurous and decided to try it, glad we did. Ingredients is on a corner, looked relatively new from the outside LED "Open" sign prominent in the window. Once we walked in, however, we entered a different world from what we were expecting. Luxurious mustard seats, lots of tables for four, seating with high gray bench banquettes, reminding me of a 70s tune ("Diamonds in the back..."); retro vibe elegantly done with modern lighting and sconces. Not cheesy by any stretch, but in a neighborhood place you could wear sweats or a suit to eat at. Our waiter was Jackie, an enthusiastic young man who seemed like he wasn't just there to wait on tables. Throughout the evening he was easy to chat with while being knowledgeable about his food he served without being condescending. He made someone unfamiliar with the menu feel new-to-us dishes weren't going to be an experiment. We ordered the beet salad, the 8 ounce hamburger with fries, the mushroom risotto, and on Jackie's recommendation the Nepal BBQ ribs. In the meantime they served us house made brioche buns-warm, soft, delicate and chewy, flaky; reminded me of Texas Roadhouse buns, but far better. Served with a little olive oil and balsamic in a separated dish, you could eat them plain and enjoy the craftsmanship of baked excellence. We wanted more but in retrospect we would've been filled up with brioche and not enjoyed the meal. Tough choice. The roasted beet salad, served with shaved fennel, a beet balsamic jus, and an apple-citrus slaw that was fresh, sweet with hints of citrus offset by the fennel so it wasn't cloyingly sweet. The textures were enjoyable-the softness of the beets with the crunch of the fennel slaw, we anxiously cleaned the plate! Next came the risotto and the burger. What was enjoyable was the mushroom risotto-a refreshing presentation of toothsome Arborio, creamy yet firm, interplaying with a variety of mushrooms that immediately became one of the better risotto we've had, texturally excellent, not one note like most risotto, it came out hot but not searing; deft hands created a concoction that kept us going back for more. The burger was simple, cooked medium, but one of the best we've had in a very long time. We should qualify the burger as a cheeseburger as we were given a choice- bleu cheese or cheddar, we chose the bleu cheese and it was a good choice, just the right amount complimenting the veggies that came with burger. Oh, the fries-skinny, perfectly fried they stayed equally crunchy from first to last, served in a mini fry basket that was cute but it also showed they meant business, these fries were better than that Irish fast food place, and aren't they the iconic standard of French fries? IMO Ingredients is now the new standard. They were served with house made ketchup, excellent with or without. The ribs came last originally accompanied by a Mac and cheese but since we ordered risotto they served the ribs separately with a slaw. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone, but a little more savory than sweet , served with just enough sauce to accompany the ribs without being messy, easy enough to eat using knife and fork, the kicker was a hint of five spice, subtle enough if it's in your background, but not an annoyance if it's not. Flavorful, hearty, filling, delicious, We ended our meal with a homemade "apple pie," a creation made of thinly sliced apples, perhaps poached, with cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, along with fresh fruit, and a yummy scoop of "creamy"mango sorbet. Lots of surprising good vibes-no crust, all apple, not heavy; the mix of spices played well with each other; mango sorbet wasn't icy like sorbets tend to be, the fresh fruits added a touch of freshness to the dish that could have been sweet-centric, but not. A delicate yet satisfying end to a delicious meal. We met the chef, Sok, at the end of our meal, who had his culinary training n Kathmandu and expanded his repertoire in his world travels. He definitely knows how to elevate a good meal, and his Nepal and French influences add an understated flair to what he cooks. Sok takes tremendous pride in what he presents to the diner, evidenced by who he hires, and how each dish is presented. Dining in Ingredients is gratifying, from the dining room to the staff to the dishes themselves. More people should give Ingredients a try, a gem of a neighborhood find, a rarity in SF! Thank you so much, we have a new favorite restaurant!

We just made it in time to try out their corn-themed menu! The best part about Trestle was coming with my partner, as the 2 of us were able to order everything on the menu to try! Our dinner consisted of: -Corn soup: one of my favorites from this menu! The corn soup tasted very light and very sweet. Could have licked the bowl on this one. -Caesar salad with cornbread croutons (I repeat - CORNBREAD CROUTONS!!!) -Corn risotto with shrimp: tasted like jambalaya to me -Cornflake-crusted salmon -Pork chop with elote: my second favorite. I usually do not like eating pork, but the way Trestle cooked this pork was insane. I imagined that they used a sous vide, because the meat was so juicy and tender. -Olive oil cake with corn cream -Rich brownie and caramel corn cluster - topped with a birthday candle, so I could make a wish!

A charming little bistro inspired by the Marlowe cows, I'm assuming, managed to stun us with several memorable dishes. The warm deviled eggs were an excellent start.

You give me a Calabrian chili sauce and it's guaranteed to make me happy and this shrimp with sweet corn was no exception. Again, light but a punchy flavor that was enjoyable.

The sweetness from the peaches somehow managed to enhance the flavor of the chorizo. This dish gives you a bold, savory and sweet bite all together but still won't have you feeling super heavy. The portion size is perfect. Im hoping to return soon for another exquisite meal.

    Nopa was one of those dinners that felt thoughtful from start to finish--strong execution, great…read moreservice, and a few dishes that really stood out. Came with a few friends later in the evening on Sunday as a walk-in and was seated within about 30 minutes. We started with the duck egg shakshuka, which was excellent. Rich without feeling heavy, with great texture throughout. The bread was perfect for scooping everything up, and our server brought us more after we finished the first round--a small but appreciated touch. The Yaya's fried chicken had great flavor, but at $33, it felt a little underwhelming for what you get. Well-seasoned and enjoyable, just not as memorable as the rest of the meal. The pork chop was the standout and easily one of the best I've had recently. Corn was in season, and the pairing worked beautifully. The pork was cooked perfectly and consistently flavorful throughout. The meal reminded me a bit of Liholiho, so I naturally compared the two. Based on my most recent visits, Nopa takes the win right now. Similar energy and style of food, but Nopa felt more consistent overall, with phenomenal service to match. Would absolutely come back, especially for the pork chop and shakshuka

    FYI: definitely make a reservation and if you're looking for a more quiet dining experience, maybe…read moremake it for one of their outside tables this place was recommended to us by a bunch of bay area natives so we figured we should try it out at least once. WHAT WE GOT: duck egg shakshuka, salmon crudo, bread & butter, tagliatelle, grilled broccoli, apricot tart PROS: good lord the flavor of some of these dishes was insanely good and you could really taste the freshness of the ingredients. my favorite of the night was probably the shakshuka, but that's just cause i'm a tomato gal and i love a good dippable dish. the grilled broccoli was also super lemony which balanced out the heaviness of the tagliatelle nicely and complimented it nicely. service was top notch, our table was literally never dirty because of how often they came by to clear things away or wipe things down. overall good experience. CONS: now ok...once again i know this is san francisco but if i'm paying $21 for a shakshuka, i'm expecting it to be at least enough food to feed maybe 4 people. imagine my surprise when this dish came out and the shakshuka was sitting in a bowl that was about the size of a candle jar lid....and like 2 pieces of bread. i'm sorry for $21????? that's criminal. as good as all the food was, NOPA felt like a one time deal for me because i quite literally can't justify the price to portion size ratio. also it was so incredibly loud in there, i could barely hear my husband talk from across the table. those tables are packed TIGHT.

The waitress finally brought by water and then left. At around 10:15 my fiancee went back inside to let them know we wanted to order food, the waitress still never came, the bartender decided to come out and take our order herself and you could tell she was not happy. We also had 4 drinks all together 2 for me 2 for my fiancee and the bartender tried telling him we couldn't order more than 3 drinks in an hour, 2 drinks with dinner seems pretty normal. The waitress then came back around 10:20 to tell us they were closing soon. Overall an okay experience. If they could get better servers and bartenders it would be a great location, amazing food and views. I also won't forget to mention the host was very very nice and even offered us blankets when it got windy.

Avocado Toast can be pretty boring, but honestly, it's not hard when they do it right. Their eggs were well made, their sourdough was perfectly crispy and the true star were the perfectly whipp'd avocados (yes, the avocados were perfect). We also shared the chicken and waffles, and honestly, the chicken was so juicy and went great with the slightly sweet and surprisingly (and pleasantly) not strong sauce. The service and food came at a perfect pace made the experience even better. Not too fast and not too slow. The rooftop was nice too. Service and Food just right. 10/10 honestly.

Daniel took care of us and recommended a pasta that ended up being one of the best dishes we had. His thoughtful recommendations, genuine hospitality, and warm personality elevated the entire evening and made it a truly memorable experience.

Highly recommend Wildseed for both the amazing food and exceptional hospitality. A special shout-out to Daniel for always going above and beyond!

We loved the mushroom taco, an incredible blend of flavors and textures. The beetroot appetizer was a brilliant, tasty idea. Sitting outdoors in the great weather was a bonus, though the indoor ambiance looks wonderful too. Unfortunately, our waitress was completely uninterested and slow. It felt like she didn't care about any tables in her section, to the point where I actually had to walk up to the reception just to get a water refill. Big kudos to the chefs for carrying the restaurant! I'd definitely give this spot another shot (or at least try their other locations and hope they have friendly staff)
