We were very disappointed with this place. Beautiful to look at and great ambiance but there are so many other things wrong. The food was really not that great. We did really enjoy the fish but overall not impressed. I mean I didn't take photos so that tells you something right? First off absolutely no parking but this is not uncommon for the city. It is located in the middle of the tenderloin. The streets were filled with people in tents and smelled like pee. The salads were mediocre and the oysters were absolutely inedible. Maybe it was an off night? read more

Such a disappointing brunch experience. The food and drinks are great but the service needs to be improved. Came here after an event at noon and we were told the table would be ready in 5-10 minutes. We were waiting for over 45 minutes and asked the hostess three times about the status of the table, she apparently forgot about it and her demeanor wasn't friendly at all. When we were finally seated, our food order took an additional 30 minutes... The waiter was nowhere to be found and we had to ask repeatedly about the status of our food, which was already ready in the kitchen..... and cold when we received. Might come back one day for dinner but definitely not on a weekend. read more

Wouldn't ever come back here because of the service. Our server Stephanie, did not come to our table except to deliver drinks, after 10 minutes of empty glasses and having to wave her down for everything. Literally never came to check on us or anything, ask how we were doing, etc. Especially at the end. We had to wave her down for anything. We felt like an inconvenience to our busser as well, who gave super super very awkward attitude to us trying to order a drink we had ordered at the bar. We had an empty mini Absolut bottle on the table and the server was super rude about telling us we couldn't have it in the restaurant and said she "would be back to deal with us". We were here for a bachelorette party, the bride-to-be wearing her sash. ANYTHING to make it feel special, as it was our last night here, would've been nice. Even a nice Congrats would've been cool! We all work in the service industry in Las Vegas (I'm a bartender) and were ready to spend money and celebrate and we either received no service or rude service. Drinks? Great. Awesome. Bartenders making custom drinks, playlist based off Sublime hits. Stellar. The ambiance was fabbbbbb. Ordered a pork chop - almost completely all fat. We didn't want to say anything because of the service, but yeah. Our server did take it off though, which was nice! Also, told the bride there could only be one card, then us four, and then told us it couldn't be itemized until the end. I have worked with the same POS system and it's doable. And also dropped the check without telling us what the $59.50 charge listed on the bottom was until we had to wave her down and asked her. Us trying to separate everything at the end of the dinner was a huge downer. We didn't even know what some of the charges were - example, ordered a Mojito on our bill it was a "Baptiste".... like a bartender, it takes a few seconds to explain things correctly, especially since she left us alone to break it down. Portions are small and expensive, but that doesn't matter if the service is good. Our food was decent but wasn't enough to justify how terrible of a time we had. Worst dinner of our entire weekend. read more

Review is for dinner only! Beautifully decorated restaurant with vintage furniture, sexy lighting, and old records lining the walls. The 2 full bars and plush leather couches are enticing enough to make me want to come back at night when this place turns into a lounge. The outdoor patio and pool area is a major plus! Onto the food: -Kobe tri-tip: there was literally 4 pieces along with some pickled veggies. For the price, not worth it for 2 bites -Hamachi ceviche: we asked that they hold the spice on this dish but that might have ruined it for us. The hamachi was overly sour; it needed something else to balance it out. Our bad. -strip steak: Our server hyped it up so much but it ended up being pretty ordinary. Not enough sides or veggies to fill us up. For the price and portion sizes we were not impressed. We were still moderately hungry after our $75 meal here, which is unacceptable. 2 stars for the overpriced subpar food but a bonus star for decor and service in this otherwise sketchy neighborhood. I must add the restroom here was one of the worst. It was literally a creepy dark closet with a toilet in it (everything was painted black and the lighting was extremely dim in there! I wonder what they are trying to hide?!). Avoid this at all costs if possible!!! read more

This ranks at the top of my brunch selections, right next to Foreign Cinema in SF. This place reminds me of some of the LA establishment. One would have never guessed a poolside patio restaurant in the midst of tenderloin. The food was exceptional for brunch, deviating from the traditional eggs benedict, huevos rancheros, and omelets which become too repetitive from one place to another in this city. MUST-HAVES: soufflé pancake with apple chutney, membrillo, maple ice cream pork belly with two soft boiled eggs, caramelized onion, yukon potato, lolipop kale, gochujang, black garlic, cilantro SOLID: japanese omelet "tamago" with house-smoked chorizo, sweet potato, cana de oveja, scallions I also have the spicy cucumber cocktail with hangar one chipotle, lime, agave, cucumber. Good refreshing cocktail with a nice kick to it. ---------------- I also came to this place for dinner in sept 2014 and both my boyfriend and I had a case of bad diarrhea after the meal. We ordered the burger (pretty good), the hot stone tri-tip (probably the best dish with tender meat but probably the culprit for diarrhea) and side of brussel sprout leaves leaves (solid). I would skip the dinner here and stick with brunch. read more

Chambers is a really fun, unique spot in San Francisco. I came here on a Saturday for a friends birthday brunch. We did bottomless mimosas and family style food. They let her select the food ahead of time and had a good variety of options. You're able to choose three mains and three sides. We ordered: Mains: -albacore tuna poke bowl -soft scrambled eggs (comes with avocado, potatoes, side salad) -pork belly (comes with soft boiled eggs, potatoes) Sides: -crispy bacon -crispy Yukon gold potatoes -biscuits and gravy My favorite dishes were the pork belly and poke bowl. The biscuits and gravy were also a great deal as a "side" because the portions were huge! Everyone at the table had plenty of food and were sufficiently stuffed by the end. We also got to sit outside by the pool which was great because it was such a nice, sunny day. Only downside is price. When it was all said and done our tab was definitely higher than I expected, and a more than some other comparable brunch spots. However, I'd still do brunch again here. I'd like to try the non-family style options as well. read more

Finally, a good outdoor dinning spot in SF. Definitely a good spot during covid. Was there the other night, rainy and cold, but they have a great heated patio that's protected from all that. Highly recommend. Now the food. Cauliflower, burrata, Black Cod, tasty burger and fries. Great options for different needs. Had a gluten free person, a pescatarian, and a meat eater with us, and all were pretty impressed. Drinks were unique, but straightforward. Sometimes too many options make it hard to decide. And they are dog friendly!!! Will definitely be back! read more

This review is for the bar only. I thought the bartenders were very nice, attentive, and made great drinks! I had a old fashioned and it was very good. I usually don't order old fashioned because some bartenders make it too sugary. This one seemed on the smaller side, but it was tasty and hit the spot. Sometime size doesn't matter. =P I thought the drink prices were reasonable for San Francisco. I think the only downside was that the bar chairs are so big and heavy that they get in the way when you're trying to order a drink. I drove and I was able to find parking about a block and a half away. This place is in the Tenderloin but I grew up partying in the city so it was like a walk in a park for me. lol read more

Tucked away the TL, Chambers is a not-so-hidden SF gem. I thought I had been here before but I quickly realized I had confused it with another place. It was a rare nice day in SF and I wanted to have drinks and dinner outdoor by the pool. We shared a couple of appetizers - pork belly, asparagus salad, and the market fish. They were all ok (3-4 stars). The halibut was slightly overseasoned and definitely overcooked. The pork belly was good but I personally make a great pork belly dish so I'm a tough judge on that one. The drinks we got were quite good. After some discussions with the server, I got the Even Flow (Rum, tequila, pineapple, lime, toasted rice gum, coconut milk, served tall on the rocks), which I liked very much. Chambers is a cute date spot (if you're not afraid of the sketchy location). Brunch sounds solid; I may have to come back to check it out again. read more

Came here for brunch on a Saturday. Surprisingly there wasn't a wait. I'd say it was kind of empty. Idk why. The interior was super cute (I love all the records displayed) and the food is decently priced. I ordered the huevos rancheros without the huevos and the meal was still amazing. The waiter was also kind enough to put the cream and cheese on the side for me. I like how they offered a French press for our coffee order. Makes the brunch experience that much better. read more

Was here in March 2021, amazing cocktail, good food limited vegetarian option. Nice date spot, they have pool side seating too

We came here for dinner since we were staying at the hotel and wanted to grab a bite before our show at 7. Absolutely awful service. We sat at the bar where we were served and charged for drinks we didn't order (after the bar tender joked that the drinks were on her) and after we were finally able to get her to take our order (which was pretty tough to squeeze in between her over the top compliments about how "cute" we were as a family, a compliment that started as fun but after about the fifth time only became creepy.) We never received one of the entrees we ordered and when we followed up (the second time) with the bartender about where our food was she straight up told us she didn't put it in because "she could tell we would be too full." We were not too full. In fact I was extremely hungry for the entire play we had to rush to after our very disappointing meal. Do NOT come here - there are way too many good places in the city to waste your time with bad service. read more

I made 5pm outdoor dining reservations approx 2-weeks ago but today received a message via Yelp from restaurant stating a large party just booked the entire outdoor patio until 6:30 which means either my reservation would be pushed back until after 6:30 (not feasible since we have 7pm theater tickets) or my party would have to dine indoors. While I realize we're a much smaller party, I feel this is very poor customer relations and non-existent customer service. read more

Absolutely cannot recommend this place enough, we had our wedding reception here and the staff was out of this world, the food was amazing, I have a serious food allergy and they made me feel so safe, Auggie is so special and absolutely was the reason the reception ran so smoothly, I know he worked SO hard to make it all possible, his communication throughout the process of planning was stellar, the ambiance of the reception was an absolute dream, the venue was perfect for what we were looking for, and again Auggie was just magic. Absolutely the best vendor we had and could not be more grateful forever for him!!! The entire staff was so kind and thoughtful and attentive, Cannot stop raving about the beautiful location and memories we made, we will be going back for years and years and years to come!!! read more

Good brunch fare with no wait on a Saturday afternoon. I had the duck confit hash and it was filling, though I'd have liked my egg cooked more fully - just a personal preference. Others ordered the brunch burger, shakshuka, and ahi tuna poke. Nice ambience overall. Not too loud and a good place for our group of friends to catch up. read more

So I got invited to a birthday brunch here. I was running kind of late so my friend sent a picture of the menu to me. I thought to myself, "there's like barely any options." But I guess there's no need for a huge brunch menu when the food is good enough. Plus they are dog friendly! FIRST IMPRESSION: 4 Stars It was hard trying to figure out where the main door entrance was. I also wasn't thrilled that the location is in the tenderloin. Kinda scary to me. When I found the entrance, the inside of the restaurant looked pretty nice and clean. The host greeted us and lead us to the outside dining area. First thing I notice is a pool and a motel behind it. I was confused. We were seated at our table and that's when our journey begins. SERVICE: 4 Stars We were late so everyone was eating already and we were waiting for our food. But the server made sure to check up on us and tell us that our food was coming. I was happy she was reassuring. She gave our little Pomsky puppy some water. Very sweet of her. The people who serve here are really friendly. Especially when you have a cute pup! FOOD: 4 Stars So I've been here twice before. The first time I got eggs Benedict. It wasn't that great.. Honestly I've had way better. The flavor was just not there for me. But the pork belly with potatoes were soooooo gooooddd. Ever since I've tried the pork belly, I refuse to get anything else. It is my favorite! The soft boiled eggs compliment the pork belly and the potatoes so well. I don't know how they do it. I also had the fresh fruit. Now, normally when restaurants say fresh fruit they lie. I know what fresh fruit tastes like. I'm a fruit addict. Now when Chambers says fresh fruit, you better bet your sweet bottom you're gonna get fresh fruit! I was so surprised to see that the fruit was fresh. It looked and tasted like it was freshly picked and cut just for me lol. I was so happy. OVERALL EXPERIENCE AND REVIEW: 4 Stars I come here for brunch only. And since I've tasted the pork belly plate, I refuse to eat anything else lol it's just that good. Also, get the fruit if you're a fruit lover. You won't regret it. I also got apple juice from here. It comes in a cute little glass bottle. Loved it. I love bringing my puppy here. It's a great dog friendly spot. I wasn't a big fan of the hotel guests swimming at the pool and staring at us. It feels weird. So that's why I refuse the 5 Stars. Also, some of the workers look like they just got out of bed and not very presentable. Either than that I love this place. Food is great. People are great. My favorite brunch place so far in San Francisco! read more

Great food. Bad service. Really want to give the chefs 5 stars. The main courses were so good. The service was slow and didn't seem to care about us. They admitted to forgetting about us during our first discussion. After that the drinks took forever. And they kept trying to get us to order food before we had any drinks. It felt rushed. And it was my birthday. My wife told them and they seemed to not care. read more

Great little hidden spot. Funky vibe with great food. We ordered the ceviche, tri tip, short ribs, and burger. Everything was cooked well and the service was pleasant. Ceviche isn't your typical ceviche. It looked more like sashimi slices, but still tasty. The meat was seasoned perfectly and wasn't over cooked. Drool worthy. The portions are small though, so don't come starving. read more

We ordered the lamb burger, regular burger, and the pork with veggies. Burgers itself was ok, but buns were stale. The fries that came with the burgers were underdone and flaccid. read more

Great food, amazing drinks, wonderful service! Yes, the area isn't the best, but the interior is amazing. Highly recommend

I love the ambiance here. Dim lighting, great service, fancy furniture and vinyl records on the wall- this place feels like a hidden gem. I ordered the Japanese Style Croquette Burger. This was amazing. The brioche was toasted perfectly and there was just a dash of mayonnaise enough for taste. The Croquette itself was all meat and grilled to a medium rare. It was so tender. The house vinaigrette was a little too oily for my taste BUT the burger blew me away. My boyfriend ordered the Pork Belly. Although only a cube of Pork Belly came with the dish, everything on the plate was amazing. I have no idea what was on those Yukon potatoes but boy, were they out of this world!! I am coming back next time and ordering them just as a side of they're made the same way. The two soft boiled eggs were done perfectly- best I've ever had. Overall, I would love to return here. I want to try their drinks next time as well as get more of those potatoes. read more

I had to copy this from a previous yelp comment because it fits this place perfectly: "This place is a truly one of those, WHOA, where the hell did this place come from. A true rose between the concrete." You would not expect what the inside of this place is like by looking on the outside. Loved the ambiance, the decor, the service and the food! Not only were we immediately greeted and seated but we got there right as the kitchen was closing and they kept it open for us to order a couple different dishes. Stephanie was our bartender and she was fabulous! She had all the great recommendations and was super down to earth! The only thing I wasn't a fan of that I ordered on my own was the corn chowder. The broccoli (idk what they season these with but o.m.g!) the steak and the ravioli.. awesome! We also thought it was super neat that the steak comes on a hot rock for you to cook your steak to your liking, had never seen anything like it before. (it's the little things and creativity). Little pricey but expected. read more

Walking on Polk Street all the way down from Russian Hill and it was only until I got to the corner of Eddy and Polk that it felt a bit sketchy. Although I must say when you step inside the venue, it is beautifully decked out with shelves full of vinyl records in a romantic setting. My friend and I reserved a table through the website and during dinner caught up on 6 years worth of missed conversations. We went through two appetizers and the "Fish of the Day" entree and had several cocktails and wines in hand. I appreciated that music in the background didn't overpower our conversations. And when we talked, we talked so long that when we had to use the restroom, the only two unisex stalls were taken and waiting for 2 minutes seemed like an eternity. After leaving our table, we decided to scope out the bar area with the infamous "Be Amazing" sign in the background. The bartender was cool and let me taste the Prosecco before ordering a full glass. With our last beverages in hand, we went outside and sat right in front of the open fire pit, watched hotel members swam in the pool, and let the cold SF breeze take over the night. Chambers gave me a memorable night of catching up with old friends. I am so glad I discovered this place randomly on Yelp searching for cool spots to check out. It's exciting to know when you found a gem. read more

The decor at Chambers is very interesting, I quite enjoy the records library aesthetic. I came here for a drink and just some light bites before going to a museum event. The drink menu was interesting and I got the Why Go, which had bourbon, vermouth, yuzu carrot juice, lime juice, agave and egg whites. For me, the carrot and citrus flavors definitely came out and it was an interesting mix with bourbon. I tried a bit of my friend's patata bravas, and they tasted pretty good although it didn't blow me away. I ordered the fried oyster bao, as I was quite excited with the idea. The bao's texture was more dense than usual, and it tasted fine but also was not amazing. I didn't try much else, but if I was in the area for a good cocktail, I'd try Chambers again. read more

Great ambiance and service. Not extremely vegetarian friendly but there was a great chefs choice option for vegans/vegetarians. Cocktails choices are inventive and wine list has a great selection.

BEST BRUNCH PLACE EVER! My wife and I visited SF over a weekend. We did our homework and selected a few restaurants we wanted to visit. Chambers was one in our list, so we booked for Saturday brunch well in advance. Our first impression of the place was not good. We walked over from our hotel and had to cross through very sketchy areas to find it. When we finally did, we were confused because Chambers is adjacent to a 1950s motor lodge that reminded me of hippie videos I had seen in history class. We weren't sure where the restaurant was, but we soon found there's a separate door to the hotel to enter the restaurant. Once inside, Chambers is GORGEOUS!! It's an oasis in the middle of a depressed area of SF. Decoration is a little hipster, with walls covered by vinyl records, modern lighting, and a very cool vibe! Staff is very friendly and will not hesitate to share their advice on what to order. We absolutely followed their recommendations and boy were we in for a treat! There are no word to describe how ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS our brunch was. Pictures (although great) still are not enough to show how perfect everything was. Eggs poached to perfection, pork belly at its best, soufflé pancakes like you've never tried before... absolutely great! For anyone searching for an amazing brunch in SF, look no further: Chambers IS THE PACE! read more

Drink is not super memorable but the setting and vibe are very nice. Love the outdoor seating area.

A great place for groups and happy hour/dinner with friends, co-workers, and dates! It's not clearly advertised so I never knew this place existed after passing by it numerous times. Thanks to Yelp, I found a new cool spot for happy hour! Happy hour starts at 5:00, but dinner seating doesn't start until 6:00pm. I met up with my co-worker on a Friday, we sat at the bar and had 2 cocktails before we got seats for dinner. Happy hour cocktails are $5 vs $12 off the regular menu. Drinks were delicious. Try the "Sticky Fingers" its refreshing! Rock Cod $28 - Nori crusted masa, summer squash, abalone mushroom, corn, fava beans, serrano scallion oil. It's a little on the pricier side for a small portion, but it was delicous and beautifully presented! I really enjoyed the fresh and flakey cod plus I'm a big fan of mushrooms. The summer squash was shaved into a long thin strip and rolled into a rose. Beautiful plating. Hanger Steak $30 - Isreali Couscous, asparagus, baby carrot, onion soubise, dukkha spice, hazelnut, cilantro. My co-worker ordered this and I snuck a bite. The meat was cooked to perfection and the cous cous was well flavored. It's spacious, with interior decor decorated like a library and vinyl records. We had a great happy hour and dinner! The bartender was friendly and inviting, waiter was very nice, we had a great time! Will definitely be back. read more

Chambers is hot hot hot! Hot, literally, figuratively, & aesthetically! This place is gorgeous, packed, and has a diverse and pretty people crowd. Bf & my friends that have been here when it was Bambuddha said the place looks so much better & different now. My belated birthday celebration almost didn't happen here but so glad that it did! It was a little frustrating after calling three times & talking to two or three different people to find out that after I made it explicit that my party of thirteen plus was just going to have drinks and not eat, so I was wondering if it would be possible to reserve a table solely for that. The first person I talked to assured me it was. But then as the day got closer I got two reservation confirmation calls stating dinner reservations, so I called back & the girl told me that she found out from a manager that table reservations were only for dinner. I called back after a little bit & asked to speak to a manager, luckily Isabelle was a manager & she answered the phone. She reassured me that everything will be alright & that I will have a table for the next night. When I walked in with a couple friends & my bf, the hostess got Isabelle right away after seeing my reservation & she showed me around asking me what table/area I'd prefer. We decided on a big table by the walkway which across was the door to the pool outside. While the back lounge area is absolutely *AMAZING* (if you've been here you get it), it was way too crowded & stuffy. While we were waiting for the table to clear up she told us to go to the bar & got us 4 drinks on the house. I enjoyed my Pisco Punch though I asked for it to be a little more on the sweeter than the sour side. Just like Chambers, Pisco is so hot right now! One handful of friends that came in a little after us said that they tried to get in through the lounge exit but the bouncer said that they were at capacity & that some people were even trying to slip him some money. Just go through the front restaurant entrance & you'll have no problem getting in. As the night went on we kept seeing yummy food pass by us & luckily my friends that came later on indulged in some food, so I got to try some tasty truffle fries. I did underestimate how many people would show up, so next time lounge couch for sure! Did I go on an off night because, yes I know it's the TL, but I didn't really see any shady people on the streets! Loved Chambers, will be back to eat & drink again. This place is poppin but when I left around 1ish the lounge cleared out pretty drastically. read more

Made a reservation and there were pretty accommodating although my party was a little late. They say us near the pool, which was super refreshing!! And loved that they allowed dogs so our friend brought their puppy and there were lots of others around. Took awhile to order food and get it, but they were attentive in water levels and seeing if we needed anything else. My pork belly, poached eggs, and potatoes were to die for!! I would order them again in a heart beat :)) Friend loved her Cubano sandwich and drinks were not bad. Their soufflé with ice cream was a good dessert but the ice cream was actually the better part of the dish. It was a lot more like bread pudding than soufflé but maybe their similar. My friends and I agreed that to go back again to the other dishes !! Also did street parking for $3.25 an hour for 2 hours and that was sufficient. read more

Totally worth exploring! I am one of those people who has never...ever... looked to the Civic Center hood for a Saturday night itinerary. That is, until fate brought me to Chambers Eat + Drink (part of the Phoenix Hotel) for work-related cocktail party last weekend. I love when "work" and "cocktail" make their way into the same sentence. The Tenderloin motel exterior is pure deception, because the guts of this place are gorgeous! Think prep-school gone swanky. Lots of plaid and leather, old records lining the shelves, and a dark den-like atmosphere that begs for a stiff drink. While I'm usually a wine gal, the cocktail list was too intriguing to pass up. The Cuzco - rum, ginger beer, cinnamon bitters and lime - was a spicy delight. The French 75 = liquid classiness. Bartender Annabelle was a dream! She handled our party of 50-ish like a sweet, smiling champ. Thanks to the fantastic staff, swanky digs, and crafty drinks, our group had no problem making themselves at home at Chambers. PLUS, on rare sunny days you can take your drink out to the poolside lounge area. You really gotta see this place... read more

We just had our wedding ceremony and cocktail party at Chambers and the Phoenix Hotel. It was amazing! First let me say that Chambers is a great place for food and cocktails any night of the week. The atmosphere, lighting, music and rocker chic vibe make this a great place to hang and fabulous for hosting an event! An excellent space if you are looking for something a little different and beyond the normal wedding venue. It's glam, mid century modern deco style lets you have some fun with the space. There is a great selection of vinyl records (literally THOUSANDS!) throughout that add another level of cool. We decided to rent out the back lounge and patio area for our reception/cocktail party after our ceremony in the Phoenix courtyard. What a great experience! Chrissie Dieu, the Director of Events, was exceptional throughout the entire process and over a year of planning. She was able to take every detail we gave her from chair requests to lighting needs to menu planning and make them a reality. There was a great event menu to choose from for our vegetarian only tastes and all our guests raved about the food and cocktails. In addition to Chrissie, Chambers and the Phoenix are chock full of quality people. A special shout out goes to Patrick, Host Extraordinaire, who we met on a visit for dinner a couple weeks before the big day. Patrick was fantastic that evening, making us feel welcome and like we were regulars in the house, and on the day of the wedding, he constantly was looking out for our health and happiness, doing everything he could to make sure that we had food and -the tougher challenge- time to eat! Even the servers and bartenders got rave reviews from our guests! As a former bartender, my newly betrothed was very impressed with the preparation and consistency of our signature drink for the evening, the Toasted Almond. And we have been hearing raves about the bartenders, the food, and the drinks all night long...and even now, weeks later! We wanted something different and with a rock n roll vibe - Chambers was it. Perfect and truly unique! read more

I'm still just as impressed by Chambers Eat + Drink. I've seen this venue accommodate a wealth of different events now. On each occasion Chambers - not only delivered, but shined. Gloriously unique and hip - Chambers is a consistent brunch, dinner venue which captures this retro rock-n-roll city remarkably well. From a well planned deliciously decadent Chambers catered afternoon wedding, to a casual good-bye drink and appetizer spread, to a foodie friendly birthday dinner with friends, to a rave worthy brunch which boasts a souffle pancake with maple syrup (have your knees buckled yet?) - Chambers twinkles in the Tenderloin. Whether basking in the midday sun by the Phoenix pool, while bohemian hotel guests casually peer over their ray-bans at the city scene, or warming by modern fire pits in the early evening dusk while Karl rolls on over San Francisco - if you wanna court cool - come to Chambers.

My friend Shannon and I stumbled upon Chambers when we were going to go to Brenda's for brunch, but the line was CRAZY cause it was a Sunday for a 3 day weekend. But we were so happy with everything we got at Chambers! My friend got the French toast and she loved it! I got the pork belly with potatoes and two soft boiled eggs. My eggs were PERFECT, the entire yolk was completely runny, just the way I like it. I'm also not usually a fan of breakfast potatoes unless it's deep fried hash browns, but these potatoes are crispy and so flavorful! I think I also loved it because it's an Asian fusion so it's all the flavors I'm accustomed and am attracted to! The pork belly was good and crispy on each side, lots of fat of course. Most pork belly are pretty fatty. All in all it was so good! We also got mimosas with orange and pineapple juice, always a good addition to the brunch experience. The service was awesome, we were checked on multiple times and I felt like the servers made us fee really welcomed and comfortable! Would love to come back again to see the bar lit up! read more

I was really torn on this place...because while I had a great time and do plan on coming back again, I was really disappointed with the customer service. First, to clarify - this is not in relation to the restaurant itself (which I've heard has great food). This is strictly in regards to the bar area / outdoor area and the bartenders. I did my birthday here a few weeks back and brought over 50 guests. In addition to experiencing it myself, I had several friends tell me that the bartenders were rude and snotty. Disappointing to get that NYC Meatpacking / LA pretentious vibe in a city that is typically void of any of that BS. Summer Sunday parties were still dope though. 'Til next summer, I suppose. read more

My hubby and I went here for my brother-in-law's 30th birthday on a Saturday night. My sister made a reservation for about eight of us and we were promptly seated upon arrival. The exterior of the restaurant looked like a giant black, windowless box. Thankfully there was a sign next to the restaurant that read "Chambers" because we would have definitely missed the place without it. The interior, however, was much more decorative, with beautiful tables and chairs, low warm lighting, and a cozy atmosphere. We had a couple of people waiting on us and the service was alright, nothing special. There wasn't anything that particularly stood out. Because we had such a large party, we ordered double of the following appetizers: foie gras, kobe beef, pork belly, and house fries. The kobe beef was served on a heated stone that seared the raw meat whilst on the table so that was pretty cool. The pork belly was very tender and tasted great. The foie gras was served with unagi, an interesting flavor that strangely worked well. As for the fries, they came out as giant rectangular cubes that had actual pieces of potato in them. But we weren't too big of a fan of them since they were more on the bland side. Because we were pretty full already, my hubby and I decided to split the Chamber burger with extra avocado. The bun was thinner than we expected, but instead of being crispy, it just tasted like flat bread. The patty was cooked and flavored well though. The side of fries was typical, but we did like the fresh herbs in it. Then finally for dessert, we ordered the coffee cake. While I understand that typical coffee cake has a crumbly surface, the entire piece of cake was barely holding it together, eliciting a rough texture. It did, however, come with a side of ice cream and honey lavender meringue which softened the cake up just a tad. But the combination of the cake, meringue, and ice cream quickly transformed the dessert to a sickly sweet dish. So for the kind of food we got and for the amount, we have to say that Chambers is a little too pricey. We weren't too fond of the food and didn't like how there weren't that many options either. Most of our party just ordered the burger because there wasn't much else to choose from. While the place looks nice, we probably won't be back to a place where the food is mediocre. read more

One of two foodie adventures I actually had on this last visit of SF. And it was pretty eye opening. This place reminds me of the restaurants in Silverlake, Los Angeles. Trendy/hipsterish vibe in a somewhat sketchy looking neighborhood. Prices are definitely spendy for what you get. But the food and concept is brilliant. My favorite dish was the one I had ordered, the soft scrambled eggs with peas and szechuan style chili oil. What I was expecting was a ginormous scramble egg(it was $12), and a bit of greens on the side. But this dis had a very small portion of eggs, maybe 3 eggs? But felt more like 2. A bit disappointed on the egg front. But it was soft, still a bit running, exactly what I wanted that morning. But what I loved about this dish was the peas, mushroom, and other greens. It was perfectly seasoned, fresh, sweet, and just overall surprisingly delicious. The Szechuan style chili was unnecessary, but I think they had a theme going on, soooo sure why not. If you used the chili oil/sauce, it's not bad either. Try it out for yourself. It's very szechuan. Among all the other dishes my party ordered were the Hangover hash(love the name), and the pork belly entree. ++The hangover hash had the most amazing presentation, and the most disappointing small piece of pastrami ever. But it was so tender, so fatty and rich, and SO GOOD. I just want a plate full of that please. +The pork belly entree had very nice presentation as well. This had a Korean theme going on. Since it's served with gochujang, it's automatically Korean. And we did have a Korean at our table, he dared to say it was the best thing he's ever eaten. Not sure if he is exaggerating, but I thought it was not bad. Those were among the most memorable dishes I tried. Not sure if I would order the souffle pancake Marcus ordered, thought it was kinda pricey and I would much rather just have a souffle or just pancake. But that's just me. Oh yeah, $14 bottomless mimosas! Our server was very good about topping us off. That's always awesome. I had quite a good experience here. Definitely recommend if you want a nice relaxing brunch next to the pool. read more

Not a regular in the neighborhood and took some convincing to get hubby out here...only because it was still early and the sun was still out. Got parking right outside and walked in through the backdoor. Appear to a private event but it was only for half of the place. We walked toward to the front and got the chaise seats across from the fireplace - quite comfy. Our waiter, Pablo, was nice and helpful. Cocktails were $10 each. No drafts, all bottles so hubby opted on cocktails too. Hubby started with #9 whiskey drink - old overholt rye, benedictine, araku, peychauds bitter. It tasted mostly like whiskey - served martini style. #2 bramble - tanqueray, lemon, sugar, leopolds blackberry, mint. Hubby liked this better. I started with #8 pisco punch - pisco, lemon, lime, american honey liquer, pineaple juice, galliano - it was ok. #7 - cusco, aged brugal rum, lime, ginger beer, cinnamon bitters. Tasted mostly ginger beer. Shared some small plates: smoking salmon - $14 - salmon caviar, yuzu sake crème fraiche, chive oil. smoked salmon rolled above a mini grill w/ smoke for flavor only. It was more fun to look than to eat. sea salad - $13 - hirame sashimi, cucumber, seaweed, radicchio, daikon, popcorn shoots, smoky vin, puffed rice. Not bad. sizzling kobe tri-tip - $14 - summer vegetable salad, mushroom brandy reduction. SUPER yummy. If you like your beef medium rare, remove the tri-tip for the hot stone right away...or you'll end up with medium or well steak. Sauce is good but skip it and enjoy the essence of good beef. Love the ambiance. The fireplace was a nice touch. Very cool and interesting light fixtures. The albums decor is great - sure take you back seeing some of the covers. Music is mostly classic rock but a Dionne Warwick tune was in the mix... Good times - look forward to returning. read more
