    Happy Hour Messels
    Yuri H.

    Cool happy hour spot featuring craft cocktails and tasty bites. The happy hour menu cocktails and food offerings are extensive with something for everyone. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and kept the drinks and food flowing. There was never a long wait for anything. The decor is crisp minimalist and modern. If your in lower Nob Hill SF pop in you will not be disappointed.

    After surviving our first autonomous vehicle ride, my sister and I stopped into Aliment for happy hour! We sat outside in a pleasant covered patio and had wine, chickpea balls, tacos, and the most DELIGHTFUL Brussel sprouts! Service was so friendly and helpful. Check it out!

    We came here specifically for the $1 oyster promotion and made a reservation because of it. Unfortunately, the experience ended up being really disappointing because the promotion was misleading and the situation wasn't handled well. When we arrived, the menu posted outside said the $1 oysters were available with the purchase of a food item or drink per person. That was exactly what we planned to do. Once we sat down, we were handed a separate oyster menu that instead said there was a $15 minimum spend per person. We each ordered a beer and two dozen oysters, which already came out to more than $30 before tax and tip. No one mentioned that the $15 minimum was in addition to the oysters, either while we were ordering, during the meal, or when we asked for the check. It wasn't until the bill came that we were told we didn't qualify for the promotion and had to spend another $30 between the two of us. We weren't trying to avoid spending money. Had someone explained the promotion when we ordered, we would have happily added another appetizer. Instead, we had to leave for another event and were left paying for a promotion that wasn't clearly explained. The oysters themselves were also disappointing. Quite a few still had small pieces of shell on them, many weren't fully detached from the shell, and several tasted partially frozen. I'm not sure if that was a shucking issue or a supplier issue, but it definitely wasn't the quality we expected. The most frustrating part was how the manager handled the situation. Our server called him over, and instead of listening to why we were confused, he immediately became defensive. He asked us for feedback on the oysters and then almost immediately said he couldn't talk because the restaurant was full and they had staff to pay. That wasn't the issue. Our concern was the inconsistent promotion and the fact that no one clarified it before we ordered. He also at point said hey we just started having oysters and then said they had oysters for 5 weeks now and no one has complained about they quality which directly conflicts - either it's new and you're testing or it's supposedly good because no one has given feedback. Overall, this could have been avoided with better communication. If you're coming for the oyster special, I'd recommend asking exactly what qualifies before ordering. Between the conflicting menus and how the situation was handled, it left a really poor impression, and I wouldn't come back again.

    Wings with mango habanero sauce
    X M.

    If you come here, you have to get the wings with mango habanero sauce. They are the absolute star of the menu, perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with a serious kick. Consider this your warning: these wings are really spicy. The chicken sandwich is pretty good too. Fries are crunchy and arrived hot.

    Herb mocktail and sour monkey beer
    Iris P.

    Our first stop in San Francisco was a hidden gem that completely set the tone for the trip Lunch at Aliment was everything we could have hoped for and more. From the moment we walked in, the service was INCREDIBLE. The staff was so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind, making us feel right at home while we explored the city. The ambiance was also beyond adorable--cozy, inviting, and the perfect spot to relax after arriving in San Francisco. For lunch, we dove into the Buffalo chicken sliders, crispy fries, and black shrimp prawns, and every single bite was packed with flavor. The quality of the food truly stood out, and it was clear that everything was made with care. I paired my meal with a refreshing mocktail while my man enjoyed a Sour Monkey beer that he absolutely loved . And then came dessert... warm ricotta donuts dusted with powdered sugar and served with both caramel and chocolate dipping sauces. Let's just say they disappeared VERY quickly . Great food is one thing, but when you combine delicious dishes, exceptional service, and a charming atmosphere, that's what makes a restaurant memorable. Aliment delivered on all of it and gave us the perfect welcome to San Francisco. If this was our first meal in the city, we knew we were in for an amazing trip ahead

    Super cute restaurant! Love that they featured art that you could buy on the walls! Highly recommend the brussel sprouts, they were SO good! We also got the fettuccini and the risotto; all things were delicious! The servers were great, kind, good energy and cracking jokes. Overall great vibes

    Ash J.

    The food is generally good but definitely on the expensive side. I got the mushroom pasta with chickpea meatballs, and that was $32 for a pretty regular size portion. Also got the lentil soup. I really liked the mushroom pasta but felt the lentil soup was too heavy on the coconut milk. The drinks were the standout here. We tried the the passionfruit sour and the dorda smash. The dorda drink was like an alcoholic chocolate milk basically, 10/10. The passion fruit sour was also a great drink with a perfect balance of sweet and sour. Good service and nice bar and table seating. Overall a good spot especially for drinks, just on the pricey side for food!

    Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Brussel Sprouts, Truffle Fries
    Elaine Y.

    Came to Aliment for dinner before a show at the Masonic and found it pretty tasty! We ordered the fried chicken plate, brussel sprouts, and truffle fries to share. It was just enough to hold us over and ensure that we weren't in a food coma during the show. My favorite was the brussel sprouts. The carmelized fish sauce and furikake combo was sooo good! I'm going to need to reverse engineer this for home cooking! The chicken was next. I really enjoyed the crispiness of the panko and the bacon mac and cheese was also solid! The greens also added a nice bitterness to the dish to balance it all out. Bringing up the back was the truffle fries. The flavor was good but the fries were limp and that's just unacceptable for fries. Service was also a bit of a hit and miss. Maybe it was because we were upstairs but it was almost impossible to flag down staff unless they were actually present on the floor. We had originally wanted some coffee to end the meal but by the time staff came around we absolutely had to leave to catch the show. Still, the experience was certainly good enough that I'll keep it in mind for future events nearby.

    I always pass by this place and was so glad I finally stopped to try it! I came here for a little girls night and the server was super sweet, his wife also worked there and they were just the cutest couple. The drinks were delicious and the outdoor seating was surprisingly comfortable. The food was so good, the curry risotto at first felt like too interesting of a choice but I was so pleasantly surprised - probably my favorite dish. The steak was cooked to perfect and cut so easily. I will definitely be back!

    Brussels sprouts, chicken wings, and spicy margaritas
    Michael L.

    My wife and I had a really good experience eating lunch here. We found Aliment on Yelp. We were looking for something that was walking distance from our hotel. My wife made a reservation, but I believe they also welcome walk in as well. We came in and were kindly greeted by our server Christine (who we later found out was the owner). We originally had our reservation for indoor, but asked if we can dine outdoors, to enjoy the nice weather. The menu is very simple but offers plenty of food and drinks options to choose from. We ordered some items from the lunch menu specials, which include most of their menu items, but for half the portion and price. We got a bunch of different items to try. Everything was good and delicious (the brussels sprouts and chicken wings are a must) The spicy margaritas was one of the best we ever had (thanks to our bartender Alan). Overall Aliment was a very good restaurant to come and have a quick bite in The City. The entire staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The food was good and delicious. We're definitely looking forward to coming back to try other menu items.

    Kabocha Curry Risotto
    Lauren P.

    Aliment is a modern, two-story restaurant serving up New American fare. I was glad I made an indoor reservation for a Friday night because some walk-ins were getting turned away at the door. We started with the brussels sprouts appetizer. They were crispy and crunchy with good flavor. For our mains, we opted to share the grilled salmon and the Kabocha curry risotto. The mango salsa really carried the salmon dish. The last two inches of the asparagus were inedible and stringy. The flavors of the curry part of the risotto were complex and savory. The dish felt a little like they ladled a curry on top of risotto rice. I wished the two parts of the dish married better. Based on other reviews, it seems like we should've gone with the steak or the pork chop. I feel that for the price, everything was just okay.

    Wild Mushroom Fettuccine
    Kristi M.

    Small restaurant with big windows and tall ceilings. We were in the even cozier upstairs area, with a bathroom very close by. Our cocktails were pretty and tasty. 4 stars only because there weren't any salt or pepper shakers on the table, we weren't offered any fresh ground pepper for the Alfredo, and my picky phobic husband asked for no pickles but got pickles. You can take the pickle off the bun but you can't take the juice out of the bun.

    Yup! Family friendly place :)

    Is there a dress code?

    I don't thinks so, I was in there with joggers and a hoodie.

    What time does happy hour start and when does it end?

    Their website states Monday-Saturday 5-7pm! Definitely a good place to check out for HH!

    I don't think so. All the beers they had were the usual bunch and I don't recall seeing a gluten free beer on the menu (unless they recently added it or I missed it). Hope this helps!

Friendly, great banter, helpful throughout the escape. The escape game is split across multiple rooms with a good diversity of puzzles. Don't want to spoil too much here but they were good challenges. Drinks we incorporated throughout and presented like test tubes that were drinkable in a gulp, kind of like a cocktail shot. Personally, I found the first two drinks to be a bit too sweet, but I liked the third, which was coconut forward. The price is definitely a bit more costly. It was $100/person for a party of five. I understand that it was an escape room + the staff + the cocktails. If you max out the party size, it's about $85-ish per person which I think is pretty solid. Still very unique and fun and glad I got to try it

The parts that weren't tongue burning spicy were so flavorful though - The red eye: the espresso rub was subtle but a fun contrast - The thicc Jim: better than any slim Jim or chomp stick you'll ever eat. Fresh pork and that hot honey garlic essence Logistics: - Indoor and outdoor seating - Limited street parking nearby but right next to the light rail and buses along third street and the bay bike trail - Non alcoholic options available

    Cool place for drinks! I wish I had dressed better since the decor is so classy. It was a little…read morewarmer than anticipated inside but it may have been just that day. Service was really friendly and explained everything they brought out. I would probably only do drinks here next time, or food with a smaller group. The burger is definitely worth trying!

    I made a reservation online and I actually wanted to sit inside but they made us sit outside which…read morewasn't the worst thing. I was worried about the temperature but the thing that was not convenient about us was you're extremely close to the next table that we could hear them loudly even if they were just talking in a normal tone + volume. We were just extremely close and it was our first date. It was extra awkward because of us hearing the conversations surrounding us as we were sandwiched in the middle of 2 tables. The food was pretty good. The donburi was very fresh. The ceviche was also so good. The aged sashimi was just okay. It was not great so even if I'd like to go back to check out the other dishes, I will not order that again. I personally think the dishes were a little expensive and the sea urchin substitution was worth trying but if I'd order the donburi again, no need to upgrade. Hopefully, I could go back to try it again as we couldn't properly enjoy the food because of where we were seated. Maybe we need to try the other dishes and be lucky enough to sit inside. The vibe might change for the better.
