    The burger
    Jamie M.

    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.

    Brunch Buffet
    Venessa M.

    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.

    Items from the breakfast buffet

    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.

    Expensive coffee
    Nicole G.

    Staff is friendly and attentive. The food prices are expensive. Parfait and black coffee from the grab and go was $20.00. Buffet breakfast available for a fee. When they bring the floral arrangements out, great spot for pictures. Moët Chandon vending machine was the highlight.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Conveniently located in the hotel lobby. The service was quick and server was friendly. I didn't realize fries were extra, otherwise I don't think I would have ordered it (too much food!). Drinks were also delish!!

    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.

    Breakfast buffet options
    Audrey C.

    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.

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

    Super cute bar in SF! Went here at night with friends. The decor is kinda crazy but fits with the…read morename of the restaurant. Was really impressed with the design of the menu! There's plenty of tables and seats inside! All the drinks were great and strong. We tried the Sacred Valley which was fun! Definitely had a fruity taste, followed by a strong vodka aftertaste. They provided water and lemonade for those of us who didn't want to drink. They also had special branded cups, which was a nice touch!

This is a gorgeous spot; the detail from the welcoming greens sign, to the cozy lighting, tasteful religious kitsch, and well thought out style, we had a wonderful visit. The decor made us explore the bar before we sat down; they have tables and different seating areas around, but it seemed like the bar was the place to be. They have a full selection of liquor, plus a cocktail menu, and killer tap list of mostly local draft beer. I absolutely loved their glassware too! The bartender was very friendly; I failed to notice the tap list above the bar was different from the menu so I was glad that was pointed out for my second beer. Prices are reasonable for the experience of being here. The other clientele at the bar were also friendly, it has a neighborhood vibe but is welcoming to all.

    We stumbled upon Third Rail after watching a basketball game at Chase Center, and it ended up being…read moresuch a gem! The atmosphere was great. It was busy on a Saturday night without feeling overwhelming and the whole place had a really fun relaxed energy to it. The staff was also fantastic and super helpful with all of our questions. We tried an Old Fashioned and the Third Rail cocktail, which was similar to a sour, and both were phenomenal. Seriously some amazing drinks. We didn't get a chance to try any of their jerky this time around, but we'll definitely be back for it!

Needed a kick - The jerk jerky: goddam this was spicy! From someone with a medium spice tolerance! Good thing I had the cocktail to wash it down haha. 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

    A friend of mine told me about this place so she reserved a table for us. The place has a cool vibe…read morewith the music playing in the background and the inside is nice. They have seating inside and in the patio area which is heated. We arrived on time but had to wait a little bit before getting a table. We sat in the patio area and they had to turn off the heat because it was too hot. Better to be too hot than cold. We ordered a couple drinks to start and they brought us waters as well. For our appetizers and entrees which we shared were french fries, UNI AMAEBI DONBURI, PORK JOWL, and the SHOJI BURGER. The fries came out first and were cooked perfect crunchy, and the sauces that came with it was a nice addition. The Uni Amaebi Donburi came second and it was really good, light, fresh, and overall delicious. Too bad it was a small dish with a big price. The Burger came out afterwards and it was delicious. The burger was cooked perfect, and the cheese flavor was very tasty. It was a great burger. We didn't order desserts so that will have to be next time. The service was really good because they were really busy. I would recommend reservations. The price is a little high so be prepared. i'd still come back to try other dishes because the food and service was excellent.

    I have been wanting to try Shoji for a while now, but haven't had a chance to as the buzz when they…read morefirst opened was crazy with long lines. I finally got to try it and walked in on a Saturday right at opening for a party of 2. We waited probably about 15 minutes and were sat in the back patio. The interior space was beautifully done and looked very elevated. The back patio also looked nice, but definitely gave off a different vibe. The service was great, no complaints there. Everybody was super nice and attentive. The food also came out fairly quickly. What we ordered: - Donburi ($53) - 5/5 - Pork Jowl ($28) - 4/5 - Akazu Fries ($10) - 3/5 - NA Cold noodle mocktail ($18) - 4/5 - NA Dashi Apple mocktail ($15) - 5/5 - Shoji Burger ($28) - 4/5 - Ceviche ($25) - 4/5 Total after tax/tip - $236.50 Objectively, the food and drinks were pretty good. Our favorites were the donburi (of course) and the dashi apple mocktail. Some cons: - how expensive it was for the amount of food. Some reviews mentioned the donburi was tiny (which it was) - no bigger than my hand. - Almost all the dishes we got were finger foods but kind of hard to eat. The ceviche with the nori chips would fall apart. The dark nori seasoning got all over our hands and was difficult to get off with just the cloth napkin. The shoji burger was covered in cheese which we assumed was finger food since they didn't offer any knives. The donburi was filled to the top in this bowl which was small so you have to be very careful scooping out. In addition, the seasoning from the seaweed was a bit oily as well. Maybe offering a wet wipe or napkin at the end of the meal would be a nice touch. I guess it was a bit confusing given the elevated / upscale vibe it was giving off but could improve in the small details. Not sure if I can say I recommend or not but would be willing to give it another chance. Perhaps try the experience inside instead.
