Listen, the Parc 55 is not a hotel that I would ever describe as cozy. It's a true corporate hotel where the biggest challenge is avoiding the toe-smashing roller luggage of indifferent company lackeys on expense accounts. Without any clear rationale, I stepped in here and dropped by their bar for a little holiday libation. As it so happened, they were offering their Sips That Sleigh menu. Without hesitation, I ordered the $20 Peppermint Mocha Espresso Martini. Definitely on the pricier side, it was a somewhat decadent mix of Tito's vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso, and chocolate peppermint (Photo 2). It was a bit much for a mid-afternoon libation. No complaints about the service, just the suits who bellied up to the bar. People could be nicer, especially during the holidays. COCKTAIL - 3 stars...a bit sweet and rather pricey AMBIANCE - 3 stars...hotel bar straight up SERVICE - 3.5 stars...cordial enough TOTAL - 3 stars...a sip that didn't quite slay RELATED - Exploring the Tenderloin?

This is located inside the Parc55 Hotel. For a hotel restaurant, it's not bad; probably better than some others. However, it is rather expensive which was a surprise. We spent more money here than any of the numerous restaurants we visited in SF during our stay. The food was good, I'll give them that much, and our service was quick. It was very much a casual dining experience. It's one of the restaurants I'll only recommend if there's no other option. read more

Starting off, their servers are understaffed. Major props to Gerry there who was working almost the entire floor working through so many tables ordering and delivering their meals. And props to the staff at the bar area who were very nice to answer my questions while I was there. The dining options are pleasant, meets expectations for a premium hotel restaurant. I was recommended by friends to skip the chicken as it was a bit dry, choose more of the appetizers, and other options were better. The breakfast options are grab and go from a separated area or there is a morning buffet; neither stood out particularly so if you have the mandatory Destination Charge credit that you'd like to use in the morning, some of the grab and go options are easier. The lunch and dinner menus are the same. The Braised Beef Short Rib Slider and 6 Sticky Fingers Chicken Wings were delicious options. The short rib sliders were a set of 2, decent sized, with soft buns and a well seasoned beef that pulls apart easily. The horseradish cream paired nicely with the sweetness of the buns and the meat. The chicken wings had a soy ginger glaze, scallions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. This is a better chicken option, nice and moist, a good bounce to the meat, and the right amount of glaze on top that was not dry nor dripping. The general ambiance is upscale and quiet, the tables are spread a comfortable distance apart, and it's a nice place to unwind or refresh. read more

We had a really pleasant experience here. I did not have high expectations for a hotel restaurant and bar, but the service was great, the food was solid, and the atmosphere had a contemporary vibe. We came for an early dinner before a concert and sat at a table by the bar. We were in a hurry, so we ordered our entrees straight away. My partner chose the burger, which was piled high with caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato, and dripping with horseradish aioli. The presentation was nice. The fries were crispy and well-seasoned. My partner was happy with his meal, and I enjoyed snacking on a few of his fries. Yum! I opted for the salmon in a green curry sauce with mushrooms, spinach, and a side of jasmine rice. The salmon was cooked to my liking, and the green curry sauce was flavorful. The dish was tasty -no complaints. The real surprise was the service. Because we were there so early, the bartender was also our server. For that reason, I expected the service to be lacking, but it was actually very attentive and added to the experience. If you happen to be staying at the Parc 55, Cable 55 is a solid option of you want a no hassle, convenient, but really decent dining experience. read more

I tried the Cable 55 buffet breakfast, market, and lunch during my stay here. The food is good for a hotel restaurant but the prices are outrageous. If I didn't have the hotel daily food credit, I would try other nearby restaurants. Buffet breakfast - $36 but with tax and tip, more like $45. I expected the variety to be more for that price but food was tasty. I really liked the eggs, cauliflower salad, and chia. The broccoli was overcooked and croissants a bit dry. Fruit was good. Service was okay. Market - quick option if you don't want the buffet. $36 for a breakfast wrap, croissant, and chia cup. Lunch - had the vegetarian pasta $25 (before tax and tip). Tasty but a slightly too oily for me. read more

We tried the brunch buffet which is $36/person and thought that the food and service were great. The staff was hospitable, professional, and courteous, especially our server Lloyd. The food stations were neat and clean, and had a variety of breakfast foods to choose from including hot foods, salads, pastries, breads, fruit, and cereals. We were seated by the windows looking out onto Market Street so we could see the bustling city streets that morning. Definitely a nice place to check-out if you're staying at the hotel and want to enjoy a restful breakfast. read more

Waaaay overpriced drinks. 25 for a Buffalo Trace. Crazy to charge that for that level of bourbon.

I recently dined at Cable 55 Restaurant located in the Parc 55 Hotel, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! Our server, Pat, truly made our visit memorable. With a servant's heart, he was incredibly attentive and kind, ensuring that all our needs were met without ever making us feel rushed. His smooth and professional demeanor created a welcoming atmosphere that enhanced our meal. Now, let's talk about the food! I ordered the pepperoni flatbread, and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked with just the right amount of toppings. Everything was fresh and flavorful, making for a fantastic dining experience. If you're looking for great food and exceptional service, I highly recommend visiting Cable 55 Restaurant. Thank you, Pat, for your outstanding service! I can't wait to come back for another wonderful meal! read more

Cable 55 is the restaurant inside the Parc 55 hotel. They offer items a la carte and also have a breakfast buffet for $36/person. The hotel charges a $35 fee/day for some reservations that can be applied to purchases made at the hotel, so the buffet is a great place to use it. However, I wouldn't say the buffet is worth $36. We were a little disappointed. It's basically all the standard breakfast items. You can order omelets, which we took advantage of. Our waitress didn't ever offer us water, which was strange. They also didn't have water available at the buffet, just juice. Their chia pudding is really good. They have fresh fruit and pastries. It's a convenient spot, but we ended up going somewhere else for breakfast our second morning at the hotel. read more

I loved the selection of everything , and a great view while you eat. It's pretty busy in the morning , so be patient with your waiters. Although I wish they would have told us mimosas and buffet only means 1 mimosa . I ordered thinking it was bottomless hahah I had 3 and that was an extra 40$ I wasn't expecting to pay. read more

We came here twice when we were staying here at Parc 55 Hilton, mainly to use the food and beverage credit that we got for our Hilton Honors Gold perk, but we truly enjoyed ourselves both visits. First we came here the first night of our stay to get a little dinner. Husband got sliders and enjoyed those, as well as East Brothers Oatmeal Stout which he especially liked. I got a grilled cheese plate with salad and we also split a side of very tasty fries. I enjoyed all the food a lot. It was very basic food but very well executed! The service was friendly and fast and the ambiance was adorable. The hotel was decorated for Christmas but the Cable 55 bar area was over-the-top decorated (in a very cute way) kind of like a Christmas pop-up. It also had a special Christmas drink menu. That's what we sampled on our second visit: we tried the Christmas drinks. Well I did anyway -- my husband actually liked the stout from the day before so much that he got it again. I ordered the Mexican hot chocolate drink with tequila. It was a perfect balance of chocolatey milky warm goodness and tequila bite. And the whipped cream was absolutely decadent. We totally came here -- twice -- out of pure convenience and using our free credit but it was a really fun time both times, such that I would come here again even if I had to pay for it haha. It was lovely; much nicer than you expect from the typical hotel bar where you're just a captive audience. read more

Check your receipts! Service was not great, they say seat yourself and rarely come by. But they automatically charge you 20% service yet have boxes indicating you should tip 15%, 20% as if you hadn't already been charged tip. I by luck realized they added additional $$$ to the 20% on their own when I looked at my credit card bill - my copy of the receipt shows differently than what they charged. read more

Stopped in for a quick late night snack with my partner. We were super spoiled by our server, Katie. Although we came 30 minutes before close, she made our night. The smoked gouda mashed potatoes were amaze paired with the house-made potato chips, as recommended by Katie. read more

Why not take advantage of your hotel bar/restaurant? Especially when your hotel gives you a $35 voucher per day that can only be applied there. The positive is that the food is pretty decent, there's a good variety of drinks, and the overall ambiance is really nice. The negative is that almost everything here is almost 2x the usual price. I visited on a few occasions, one to order lunch (I got a burger as pictured and it was pretty tasty, although nothing super special), another to get appetizers (a charcuterie board and some sliders which were a lot smaller than expected), and another to grab drinks (which were pretty good but pricey). The service can be a bit slow depending on the time you visit, but if you're a hotel customer it's probably worth checking out at least once. I definitely wouldn't revisit if I didn't stay at the connecting hotel, but it was a decent experience. read more

Cable55 - Burger - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

I friggin love when hotels have bars. It is so easy just to walk back to your room if you get tipsy or too full. I especially liked this bar because it was also a restaurant and had an abundance of space. We only had drinks here but the food looked really good from what we saw. They have a breakfast buffet, which I was really sad we didn't get to because we were working. There are so many tables to sit down to dine and receive table service, as well as seating to lounge and sip some cocktails. You can also sit at the bar. We were unable to sit at the bar because it was full but we did order at the bar and sat in one of the outer areas. We went here twice and both times the place was packed. I ordered wine both times and hubs ordered beers. The prices were overpriced, but of course expected. Everywhere seemed clean and staff was regularly cleaning up. There are several televisions around so you can watch games or the news, which both were on. They had later than average hours, I think maybe 10 or 11pm they closed. If you are staying at the hotel, this place is a comfortable choice. read more

I ate at Cable 55 during a recent 4 night stay at the Parc 55 hotel. As a Hilton member, I got a food and beverage credit at the hotel, which was only usable at their restaurant, Cable 55. Overall, the food was fairly decent but very expensive. However, with the food and beverage credit, it made the price point a bit more palatable. During my stay, I had the following food items: - Mulligatawny soup - decently spiced, packed with various vegetables and lentils - Fish tacos - decently flavored, but wished that the fish were fried instead of seared - Turkey Reuben sandwich - not enough Reuben sauce so sandwich was quite dry. Turkey meat was very dry - I imagine since it might have been heated up too long. - Beet salad - this was actually quite tasty, but the portions were very small despite being $15. - Schnitzel salad - pretty tasty salad! Schnitzel was more prepared like a katsu since breading was a bit thick. The schnitzel did not include any dipping sauce or a lemon, which is a more traditional accompaniment in a European schnitzel. And lastly - I had the breakfast buffet for one of the days that I was there. The buffet was $35. In years past, Cable 55 also offered items like dimsum, but this was not available. The breakfast buffet included typical items like scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, yogurt, fresh fruit, a selection of bread and pastries. You can also have eggs made your way (e.g. over easy, sunny side up, omelet, etc). Based on the offerings provided, I didn't think it was worth $35 since there wasn't much variety to be had for that price point. I'd recommend you save your money and go elsewhere for your breakfast, which would much cheaper! In sum, I wouldn't have eaten here unless I had this food and beverage credit to spend. If you are staying at the hotel and don't know what to eat, this place might be an ok option for you. But if you're a foodie (or on a budget), I'd skip this place. Save your money and go elsewhere for your eats. read more

I am staying at the hotel, and I like the service and convenience. The food is decent as well. For dinner, my favorite dish is the Crispy Rice Salad and I add salmon to it. The house vinaigrette is quite good and goes well with the salad. The breakfast buffet is okay but a little overpriced for $36. I have definitely been to better breakfast buffets. It gets pretty crowded too, since most people apply the room credit to the breakfast buffet. It definitely feels like a rushed experience. I rate this restaurant 3.5 stars but I'm rounding up to 4 stars. read more

Located next to check in, they offer Breakfast buffets in the morning for $35/pp. There is a decent amount of options there but standard hotel breakfast buffet fare. With that said, their fruit is delicious and all of them is sweet which is surprising cos I find hotel bfast fruits to typically be not ripe enough. Staff there is friendly and attentive as well. read more

Decent -- worth a visit! I generally have a rule that I don't eat in hotels. This visit, I went to 3 restaurants and had to leave (closed, smelled like dirty dish towel, bar was too tight), so I decided to settle for the hotel. Tony was my server and he was excellent. I asked if I could taste the rose, and he brought me that sample and a sample of frozè. They were both far beyond expectation! Tony told me the frozè also includes vodka. I got the frozè. I had appetizer crispy chicken sliders and an order of fries. I know they're both fairy east, but they were quite good! I'll definitely be back. read more

It's in a very convenient location of "downtown" San Fran so you're near a lot of key places and main transport hubs. With that said it's a hotel restaurant and you'd think it would be bare minimum food/drinks and it's not! They have a cute floral canopy area and nice window views. But the food - man - maybe because my expectations were low - but it slaps! Ordered pepperoni and pesto Flatbreads and rigatoni pasta and pork with mashed potatoes and broccoli. All of the food came out moderately fast and the food was all delicious. My only draw back on all of this is really the prices. Ordering the food - no drinks - is well over 120$ - not including the tip. Which - given the area you are in - you could spend the same amount or even less in a non-hotel restaurant lol. But they upcharge because of convenience. read more

Jerry, your service was impeccable. Thank you for not judging what I ordered. Haha. His hustle with handling multiple tables at one time is remarkable. The aesthetics of their spring Bloom55 is really appealing and decor is beautiful. I managed to get some good shots while enjoying my light meal and just sitting down observing. Lol the inner kid in me really indulged in the Ice Cream Sundae. Can't wait to come here again. read more

I stayed at Parc 55 and had credit to try the food at Cable 55. Overall service was excellent, but the food was sub par for the price point. For dinner I had a pumpkin soup and salad. For $18, I thought this was wayyy too pricey. It was good, but not that good. For breakfast, I had the classic eggs, sausage and potatoes. The potatoes weren't that crispy and the egg was very bland. I had to use a lot of hot sauce just to get some flavor. I loved the Christmas decorations and drinks, but the food could improve. read more

Neat fresh food and strong service with a small number of intimate tables and about half-dozen bar seats. I flew in late and had the broccoli salad and hummus one night, and the fish tacos another night- both excellent! read more

The buffet breakfast is way...WAY over priced. It's $35 for a continental breakfast. They use to offer meats & cheese, which made the price more tolerable. The bacon is baked and limp, eggs boring, waffles hard, cereal packs, dry muffins...not worth it. They took things off the menu, yet raised the price. read more

Had a late dinner on a Wednesday night. We were staying at the hotel so it was convenient. This restaurant doesn't have great reviews, so I was a bit skeptical, overall it wasn't bad. We were seated promptly and had a gorgeous view of Union Square. We tried to order beer, and everything except Bud Light was sold out, so had iced tea and waters. For appetizers we tried: -flatbread pizza, delicious -buffalo cauliflower, dry and tasteless, skip Entrees: - braised short rib, tender and flavorful, mashed potatoes were delicious - hamburger, good flavor, fries were delicious - pasta, very "non saucy" and bland, had to order extra sauce, didn't actually make the dish better, would not order again There was only one server, who was attentive and doing his best once h had about 6 tables. Overall the food was OK and expensive. Unless you're eating here for convenience, I wouldn't eat here. read more

I rarely write bad reviews. The one star is solely based on the unwelcoming attitude and dismissiveness of bar staff on the night of July 11th. Our receipt says our server was "William", but can't be sure as he was not wearing his badge. We got there at 10:30PM after coming back from a Giants-Dodgers Game. My wife and I wanted a drink before we went upstairs so we walked up to the bar, again it was 1030!!! A male told us the bar was closed...I said the sign and the Parc 55 website says the bar is open until 11PM. He then proceeded to tell me that the bar closes at 11PM, but that LAST CALL is at 10:30...He also said that's why the entrance has a rope across the entrance. The rope was next to the sign that says the bar is open until 11PM. I walked away and then came back and said, NO, the sign says 11PM, so I am asking to be served. He reluctantly came back with our drinks, but we took our chances drinking it since he was obviously angry. The price was outrageously high, but we would have been OK paying if the service was welcoming. The male server also proceeded to continue cleaning the bar where there were guest, turned off ALL of the TVs while there were guests still watching. We had eaten there earlier and had drinks and it was nothing like what we experienced in the evening. Parc 55, you are lucky that there are no other bars that are close, but next time, I'll bring my own whiskey. Great hotel, but this one bad apple left a very bad taste in our mouth! read more
