    Oeuffs mayonnaise and gin martini w/ Caviar
    Sean L.

    We were pleasantly surprised! Our friend chose this restaurant, and at first glance, the menu was small and everything sounded just okay. But once the food came out, it completely exceeded our expectations. Everything we ordered was so good. We had the mussels and fries, the Oeufs Mayonnaise, Pain Maison & House Cultured Butter, triple cream cheese, and Caesar salad. The martini with caviar was also delicious. The service was just okay, although our server was nice. We knew we were going to eat somewhere else later, so we didn't order too much, but we'll definitely have to come back to try the mains.

    Wow our family came here on a weekday for brunch. We happened to be just passing by and happened upon this place. The tables were already reserved so we got seated outside. The server and employees were wonderful! When the sun started to shine in our face, they helped set up the parasols to help with the glare. The food was amazing!! Everything was just perfect and the portion sizes were nice. I didn't feel overstuffed. The ambiance, interior design and music were nice. Will definitely highly recommend and will be back!

    I went here for brunch and I have to say that Bon Délire is a vibe. I love the bar setup and how there was a DJ, which really added to the experience. I ordered the burger, which was quite good, but felt a little over priced since you have to order fries separately. I also got a kir royale that was delicious.

    Ham and cheese sandwhich

    I will preface this by saying - French food is not a cuisine i eat often... and that i did essentially just order a ham and cheese sandwhich... but yeah i would not pay that much for a fancy sandwhich again. The steak tartare was OK.. but honestly there are better options for me in FiDi! Many other people have said very positive things - this just isnt right for my palatte... Service was great! They have cute decor and i loved the look of the bar in the middle. They are right on the water in SF, so its a great location too. I almost considered them for a corporate event! I dont think the food was bad - just overpriced for me and not my favorite.

    Business lunch at Bon Delire, first time here. It's a small space with lots of character. Our group shared orders of the steak tartar, leek gribiche and oeufs mayonnaise (eggs covered in mayo sauce). The steak tartar with a yolk on top served with crisp potato chips was a fav, and the leek dish a close second, everyone agreed it was surprisingly good (never had leeks prepared this way before). The egg dish was a bit too rich for me. Entrées included the steak frites, croque madame and a the special of the day. The steak was prepared with a sauce poivre, and was delicious. My colleagues also throughly enjoyed their selections. Service was quick and friendly, for me the music was a bit loud for the Space, but overall a wonderful experience and I will definitely be back.

    beef special

    Cosy vibes, good food, and great service. Perfect spot for a nice date :) Went here for Valentine's day so everything we ordered was part of their specials for the day. We ordered a beef special and a scallop special. Both were cooked perfectly and paired with great sauces. I enjoyed the sauce for the scallops more, but the tender beef was the star of the show for me.

    AMAZING SERVICE. I went here for my birthday and it was such a treat. Small cute place near the pier and the menu is limited but all great choices. Our server was so attentive, when I cheers my drink and it spilled a bit on my plate- as soon as I went to wipe it up with my napkin he came to the table to clean it. The steak was so soft and juicy, very easy to cut. The bread and butter was fresh and the butter spread was honestly, the best butter I've ever had. The duck was crispy and the meat was tender. To finish our meal, the server gave me a soft serve vanilla and olive oil and it was perfect! He even put a candle in it. I would love to come here again and try the other plates! 10/10 service. 10/10 meal.

    Quiche Lorraine
    Mari C.

    I came here for brunch over the weekend and it was buzzing. The space is cozy with big windows that let in tons of light, and I loved the bar setup. The food was good. They have a madeleine basket with a few sauces and I was obsessed. The madeleines had a bright lemon zest flavor that made them extra special. I ordered the quiche Lorraine, which was delicious, while the salad was just okay. Definitely coming back to try more dishes. Our server was polite and attentive, and overall it was a fun experience.

    Great spot for mingling at the bar. Went on a Friday and there was a DJ playing. The bartender was attentive. We got a few cocktails and the Oeufs Mayonnaise and the croquettes. Everything was delicious!

    10:10 the steak is cooked to perfection. The sauce is amazing Cat the bartender is 10:10 with her martini . This place reminds me of Paris each time I go in.

    Bon Delire delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The ambiance was intimate and charming, with classic bistro touches and soft lighting. The dishes were rich in flavor--perfectly seared steak frites, delicate escargots, and the indulgent sauces that tasted authentically French. The poulet was outstanding. The chicken was perfectly seared on the outside and juicy inside, and the sauce had that signature French depth--creamy, aromatic, and balanced with just the right amount of white wine and herbs. Every bite felt comforting and refined. Our server was knowledgeable, welcoming and perfectly timed with everything. It's rare to experience service this smooth and genuine. A wonderful place for a romantic dinner or special occasion. Located on Embarcadero street. Parking lots or street parking with some walking.

    Oh Hell Yes.... Everyone should go here and sit at the bar and Fuq with Irvin. When I go back, imma have to holla at Irvan from the booth. LMFAO. I made reservations and when we arrived, my friend and I were seated at the bar. In my mind, I was like damn I made reservations to sit at the bar on a stool with no back support. Annoying. When I asked if we could be moved to a table the hostess was like they are reserved. I am looking at her telling myself don't go in on her, she is too young and clueless. Why? Because I had a reservation too. Of course, I had to keep asking to get clarification because it was obvious that she wasn't going to give one. She kept saying shit that didn't making sense to me, as a reservations holder....maybe you, not me... So please note: the SOLE reason for the rating of this restaurant is the service that was provided by Irvan. He welcomed us to the bar with a couple of glasses of champagne. I mean he provided amazing service, he was social and engaging, he knew the restaurants best plates, as well as what to recommend at the right time.. My girl and I decided to roll with what Irvan was giving at the bar. However, I kept looking around at the seating situation. The hostess saw that I was watching and eventually came over to offer a low top table outside. Thank you but no thank you..... I don't eat outside with dogs, flies, and strays. She tried? Did she?......the verdict is still out on that one. The moral of the story within this review is that you will need the table's DNA to request an indoor table besides sitting at the bar, If it's your first time like it was for me, you're fuqed. Back to the food, absolutely delicious! Everything was so French, buttery, and riche. A chefs kiss for sure to the food and drinks. I also have an honorable mention, Irvan presented us with the menu for SF Restaurant Week a week before SF Restaurant Week. Talk about making us feel like we were a part of the "IN CROWD". Need I say more ? He had me at the free glass of champagne and backed it up with a clutch made Bloody Mary. Mic drop. Bon Appetite!

    Pain Perdu

    Stopped by around 1pm on a Saturday. It looks like the seats/booths are held for reservations. It's definitely a smaller restaurant as most tables seem to seat 3 people max and there is one large table at the back (maybe 5-6 people max). Without reservations, you can either sit at the bar or the outside (which seemed to have heaters). They are playing music inside so it's a nice vibe! Service was good as well, although our dessert did take awhile to come out, but it was totally worth it. Caesar salad - simple and clean. I love how the Parmesan and croutons are shaved over - it makes it easy to spread out over the romaine. The sauce is not overly creamy or heavy as well. Steak frites with truffle fries - very tender steak (requested medium rare). Better than most steak frites that I've had in Paris. Sauce was creamy and peppery but not overly rich or thick. Truffle fries were very crispy and the truffle aioli had a darker truffle taste to it. Pain Perdu - amazing dessert! Caramelized top without being bitter or burnt. Soft inside. The crème on the side is airy and light but pairs well with the sweetness of the soft serve. I wish there was a bigger piece of toast as we finished this quickly.

    Which area is best, standard, bar or outdoor?

    Really up to your preference and what the weather is like. Bar is good for two people and if you like to be seated at a bar. Standard/tables if you're more than 2 people.… 

    Does the dinner burger come with fries?

    No, but you can add them.

    Is this a good restaurant to dress up in a button down shirt? Or no?:(?

    Yes, I've gone here both dressed up and business casual either way you'll fit right in

    STOP. DROP. EAT…read more This place is an absolute gem. Food: We started with the clams and mussels, and they were phenomenal. Do yourself a favor and soak every last bit of that broth up with the bread--you won't regret it. Don also surprised us with complimentary scallops, and wow... next-level fresh. Some of the best seafood I've had. Drinks: Hands down the best margaritas I've had in California so far. I also watched Don make a Bloody Mary, and it was like watching someone craft a work of art. Every ingredient was intentional, and you could tell it was made with genuine care. Service: This deserves to be at the top because it's what made the experience unforgettable. Halfway through our meal, I realized my incredible bartender was actually the owner. Don is one of the most humble, genuine, and welcoming people you'll ever meet. His sons and daughter all work in the restaurant, and there's even a photo on the wall of his great-grandfather smoking a cigar while cooking crabs. This isn't just a restaurant--it's generations of family, tradition, and passion served on every plate. You can feel the heart behind this place the moment you walk in. Thank you, Don, for the outstanding hospitality, the amazing conversation, and a meal we'll be talking about for a long time. We'll definitely be back.

    (3/5) I've been coming to this restaurant for many years,…read moreand this was the first visit that left me disappointed. Overall, the food was good, and the service was okay. However, the clam chowder tasted much more like potato chowder than clam chowder, with very little clam flavor. The bread was served warm, but it quickly became chewy, which made it seem like it had been heated in a microwave rather than baked fresh. What stood out the most was the condition of the restaurant. It looked run-down, dated, and, unfortunately, not very clean. After many years of enjoying this place, this was the first time I noticed how much it seems to have declined. I hope management takes the time to refresh the restaurant and improve the overall cleanliness because it has always been one of my go-to spots, and I'd like to see it return to the quality it once had.

I had the clam chowder twice, and it was just perfect--creamy, with lots of clams and potatoes. And then there is the **Boudin sourdough bread**, with that wonderful, distinctive "sour" flavor that seems to be missing from so many sourdough breads these days. One evening, we shared the **Mixed Seafood Grill**, which was amazing: wild-caught shrimp and three kinds of fresh fish--black cod, halibut, and salmon--served with salad and fresh vegetables. We started with the organic beet salad, with both red and gold beets. On another visit, I had the **Dungeness crab cake appetizer with a bowl of clam chowder**, which made a delicious and surprisingly hearty dinner. I was lucky enough to have **Tom as our waiter twice**, and he won my heart with a small act of kindness. At the end of dinner, I asked if he could wrap up my two remaining pieces of sourdough bread. When I opened the package later, I discovered he had tucked in a few extra pieces for me. I brought them home and was able to enjoy a little taste of San Francisco for several more days. Thank you, Tom! I also love that Scoma's hasn't tried to turn itself into another sleek, modern restaurant. The **old-school, vintage 1960s-1970s atmosphere** is part of its charm: waiters in white jackets, dark wood paneling, brown leather or vinyl seating, brass details, warm amber-glass lighting, wrought-iron dividers, and crisp white tablecloths. Walking into Scoma's feels a little like stepping back in time. For me, it was even more special because it brought back memories of **California days with my family when I was growing up**. Wonderful seafood, warm hospitality, sourdough that actually tastes sour, and an atmosphere with a real sense of history. There is a reason we came back three times.
