    The floral ambience makes this such a dreamy brunch spot. The food looks just as good as it tastes. I also enjoyed the Thai bites, which added something different to the menu. The drinks, though, were a bit mid. Overall, it's a spot I'd recommend for brunch, especially if you're looking for a beautiful setting and Instagram-worthy food. - Pomegranate Iced Tea - Spiced Almond Lavender - Coconut Matcha Latte - Crispy Spring Rolls - Pimped Up Ramyun - Angus Beef Noodle Soup - Chicken & Waffle

    Lovely little spot right on Chestnut with indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is exquisite with its Thai fusion options and everything we ordered was delicious! I fear I did not get any photos of the food because we devoured it too quickly. We ordered the Moco Benedict, Tom Yum Shakshuka, Pad See Ew, BW scramble, and Souflegg. Portions are generous, food is colorful & flavorful. Service was great and their cocktails were also a delight. Great spot!

    Finally made it over to Blackwood in the SF Marina! It's been on my bookmarks for years, but I rarely make it out this way because... let's be real... the parking is horrible. Since it's Gemini season, we came for brunch to celebrate a friend's birthday. Definitely make reservations, y'all! There was already a line when we arrived, so I'm glad I planned ahead. I ordered the Brekkie Tacos, while the table shared the soufflé eggs (one vegetarian and one with shrimp & beef), their famous Million Dollar Bacon, and a side of the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. Everything was so good! I practically inhaled my food since I skipped breakfast and had only coffee beforehand. If you're in the Marina area, I definitely recommend checking this spot out. Great food, great vibes, and most importantly... everyone left happy especially the birthday girl!

    Unfortunately, we were a little disappointed with the food and experience. We were able to easily make a reservation through Yelp for Saturday brunch. The restaurant was full so it ended being a good idea. The restaurant has a bit of a fancy vibe with pendant lighting and flowers along the walls. We got the Moco Benedict and the Kai Gata w/ Rainbow Potatoes. The rainbow potatoes were crunchy and fluffy on the inside, but unfortunately, some of the pieces were super salty. The poached egg on the benedict was overcooked. Parking is tough to find on the street and expensive so overall, it doesn't seem worth it for us to come back just for this.

    Solid food and drinks! The pad Thai was flavorful and i appreciated the amount of chicken, tofu and eggs. We also had the pad see you which was delightful! They didn't skimp on the meat for either dish. I will mention that the male staff who sat us wasn't very friendly and a bit standoff-ish. Other than that, i really enjoyed sitting outside, having a drink and a bite to eat while people watching.

    Literally everything I ordered was amazing! The spring rolls, beef wraps, and popcorn chicken were all so good. Then came the spicy prawns and vegetables served with perfectly steamed white rice--absolutely delicious. The Blue Wave rum cocktail, beautifully presented in a crystal fish glass, was perfection. The service was on point: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and creates such a great atmosphere. This place is an absolute must-visit!

    Poke
    Heidi L.

    Food was amazing! Had the poke and eggs Benedict and both were great. We also all partook in the bottomless mimosas and they were great at keeping our cups filled. I'd love to return and try more of their Thai lunch options!

    I came back for brunch with a larger group of friends and tried the Marina jook which was great as I needed something warm and comforting. The texture of the congee was luscious with a good amount of sesame oil and chili oil for fragrance. The bacon added a nice crunch and flavor as well. It's definitely a hearty dish and I took half of it home for later but really hit the spot. Our server was great taking different modifications and everything turned out pretty good. I tried a bit of the stone bowl rice and souffle omelet and both were yummy. Overall solid spot for brunch in the Marina but of course with Marina prices.

    We walked in and it was packed. The service was decent but the food took a while to arrive. The food presentation was great. But the egg soufflé was a little bland and we could not taste the basil nor spiciness. The food was decent but not sure if it was worth the $$.

    Make a reservation if you can, the wait time can be really long. It's kind of small inside but there is a small area for outdoor seating. The portion sizes are pretty decent. I had the Thai Shakshuka it came out hot(how I like it) and they mixed it for me.

    Menu

    Blackwood had very standard thai dishes. Nothing that tasted bad, but I felt like there wasn't anything here that stood out in particular. I would need to order some other menu items to find out about their other types of cuisines, but based on the one I had it felt very average.

    I was so excited to try this place. My husband brought back a to go order of a French toast combo. And it would have been good, except they used old/bad bananas. They should have said they didn't have them --- it's extra for the banana and walnut addition and these bananas are gross (see pictures). I had to scrape them off the French toast. I looked at other pictures of the French toast with bananas and this is definitely not their standard, so I'm confused as why they would allow this to go out. What a disappointment. The eggs and bacon were good.

    Panang Curry w/ Pork
    Kellie C.

    We tried the Panang curry with pork, the popcorn chicken, the marina strips, and the 24 hour beef noodle soup. Popcorn chicken: I honestly felt like we could have went without this. It wasn't awful, but the chicken was a little bit dry and I felt like it was mostly breading. Marina Strips: I thought the marina ships were not bad. The beef was very tender, but the flavors were a little too strong. They use Sriracha as one of the main sauces, and it was a bit much for me. Panang Curry: I've got the Panang curry was really good. I opted with pork and everything was cooked perfectly and the flavor was fantastic. It was really good to eat with rice. 24 hour beef noodle soup: I tried a little bit of the 24 hour beef noodle soup. The soup base was very flavorful and the beef was very tender. No complaints. I came for dinner on a Saturday night around 7 PM and didn't have to wait at all. The restaurant itself is very beautiful and decorated with flowers on the walls. The staff were really nice. I would love to come back here for brunch, which is what they are known for.

    How is the parking situation there?

    Think average SF street parking- not too vast in terms of options but you may get lucky. Parking blocks away is the standard.

    Any low sodium options for someone with high blood pressure?

    I don't think so

    Vaccination card required?

    Not anymore

    It states on their website that they provide delivery, but they are always "unavailable/closed" on their platforms/apps. What's going on?

    Is this place dog friendly?

    They have outdoor seating in front of the restaurant that is dog friendly!

    As bomb as it looks, is there bottomless mimosas?

    Yes!!!! But mimosas were average at best although I am picky!

Every bite and sip was delicious. We ordered family style and shared everything. The service was also fantastic, even though we got there late and didn't realize until the food was beginning to come out that it was last call, our server and all the other workers that came by were all so friendly and made us feel welcome. We ate quickly and boxed the rest so they could get home. What we ordered: Tom Kha soup - coconutty, creamy, a lil sour and a lil spice. Delicious. Fresh rolls - crisp and springy with lots of greens and tofu and a good peanut sauce to dip. Crispy pork belly sweet basil - the CRISP and flavor of this pork belly was to die for. Chicken larb - this was my favorite dish of the night. Heavy basil/herbs, just a little kick from the chilies, full on flavor explosion. I will be thinking of this dish for a long time haha. Beef Pad See Ew - chewy in the most delicious and favor packed way. Love pad see ew and this one was great! Pad cha scallop - Came out sizzling on a cast iron! This dish was fun and the scallops while small, were fresh and had lots of flavor. And finally, for dessert we ordered the black rice durian. It was all three of us' first time trying Durian and we loved it! Creamy and a little funky but the black rice and sauce emphasized its natural sweetness. Thank you to everyone at Saap Ver for adding to my besties birthday happiness! Can't wait to come back.

The inside of the restaurant was quite lively, even though it was pretty early in the evening. The decorations were very colorful, and the atmosphere felt lively. Service was fine, but the food did take awhile to get to us. We ended up ordering crispy pork, duck curry, pad thai, and fried rice (sorry don't remember which fried rice in particular). I think the pad thai and fried rice were a bit light in flavor, but the curry and crispy pork were really yummy! The duck curry kinda took me by surprise because of the lychee haha I wish the portions were bigger, but great taste.

The interior is well decorated with Thai culture and with the darker tones of the design, it makes the restaurant feel quite fancy. 4.5/5 - Crispy Pork (Moo Krop) Fried Rice - Very savory fried rice dish. Spiced well and very filling. We didn't expect the pork to be cut so large and mixed into the rice, but it was very tender and easy to still eat. We would've expected the pork to be sliced maybe in half or fourths to make the dish feel like a "pork fried rice" than a fried rice + pork mix, but it still worked well and if you love pork, this will definitely be your fix! 5/5 - Pad Thai - We thought the restaurant nailed this classic noodle dish. Filling portions and did not overcook their noodles. You can taste each component of the dish, which speaks to everything not being under or overcooked. We ordered nuts on the side but you would be quite satisfied ordering this if you like pad thai! 4.5/5 - Pad Gra Prow - Appropriate veggie to beef proportion and very flavorful. Minced well and great to complement with your carb dishes (noodle or rice). We thought the dish was slightly oily but it feels well absorbed when eaten with our pad thai. If you have tried the dish before and would like it, this will be satisfactory!

It was around 8 PM, and it wasn't busy at all, so we were able to get a table right away. The restaurant itself is mid-sized for the city, with enough seating to accommodate a few large parties as well as plenty of smaller groups. During our visit, we shared three dishes: the Thai coconut hot cakes from their specials menu (which they highly recommended), the beef salad for some protein, and the drunken noodles. The Thai coconut hot cakes were warm, gooey, and filled with coconut milk. I really enjoyed the contrast between the crispy bottoms of the cakes and the chunks of pumpkin and corn throughout. The beef salad and drunken noodles were both good, but I will say they didn't necessarily stand out compared to similar dishes I've had at other Thai restaurants. Overall, if you're looking for simple Thai dishes that aren't overly spicy, this would be a solid spot to check out.
