Very expensive & im used to overpriced stuff but this was ridiculous & not great service. Took 20 min to get someone to take our order then got our food before drinks. Rude waiter too. Skip it read more

I love rooftop bars and hunt them down like 5 point bucks. Here's the thing... Charmaine's is a good experience if you come in knowing it's flaws and it's charms. The pros? The ambiance here is fantastic, both indoors and out. The views are lovely and the fire pits add a drama that it both cool and romantic. The cocktails are hilariously named after cats and they taste strong and delicious. Our server was hilarious and really personable. This isn't exactly a pro but we ordered champagne and he opened it in front of us and my BF got sprayed down. Wasn't the experience we were looking for but our server was super apologetic and we got more champagne for the trouble. Cons? Ridiculously over-priced food that was eh. The minimum spend on specific nights is ridiculous and stupid. The trip up (especially during COVID) is annoying to say the least. Do not, not make a reservation. We saw two groups (one of them just a couple of girls) get denied on a Friday night. And last but not least, it's in the Tenderloin. If you can manage these things, you'll have an awesome night and a great experience. read more

After ID check, you take an elevator to the main entrance of Charmaine's. The view is beautiful, but the furniture looks dingy and needs refreshing. We had nice outdoor seating, but two of the four seats were inconveniently placed under some plant bushes. The service was nice. We ordered three appetizers: the charcuterie, pretzel bread, and an babaganoush platter. They were average but overpriced. I had a tonic with lime, and my friend ordered a mocktail that tasted like Sanka with soda water, so we returned it. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, crediting us for the drink. The other two cocktails were fine, as was my tonic with lime. The total bill was just under $200 with tip, which we felt was definitely overpriced. Despite the great service, we had high expectations but left disappointed. read more

Love Charmaine's! The food and service were effortless. Stunning city views, cozy fire pits, and a warm atmosphere. Taylor took amazing care of me and gave excellent recommendations. I'll definitely be back -- perfect spot for a night out in San Francisco. read more

Celebrated my birthday at Charmaine's and it was perfect! Such a beautiful, vibey spot with amazing views of the city. The food was delicious, cocktails were awesome, and the atmosphere was just right for a fun night out. Huge shoutout to Taylor for taking such great care of us -- he made the night even better! Can't wait to come back! read more

I usually never write reviews but I was blown away by the front host at Charmaine's. His name was Taylor and he was SO sweet and accommodating. I can't mention enough how lovely he was and made our experience so wonderful. Also, the food, drinks and views were amazing! read more

Charmaine's should be a go-to to treat your guests that are visiting San Francisco. We live work in San Francisco and it was great to find a rooftop place that had a table on Mothers Day. Yes it was busy but their staff was great and accommodated us. If you're a SF resident you should know it gets windy and the weather can change in an instant. Yup it's $$$ but worth it to treat you and guests. One-The View is amazing, You'll feel the SF vibe for sure! Two-All the Staff were awesome. The general area location may be misleading but the hotel does a great job to keep things in check. Three-Food and Drinks were spot on! A blend of Asian with comfy foods Will Make You Come Back! Four-Interiors, again you'll feel the SF vibe, hip techie design provides luxury. Will be back and will try the main floor bar cafe! read more

Charmaine's does have an amazing view of San Fran. However, food and drinks can be hit or miss. I ordered the fish tacos and seeing a bruised, brown slice of avocado in my taco really turned me off. I will say the pork belly skewers were delicious as well as the potato skins appetizer. The service staff does need better training on product knowledge, which includes bar glassware. My boyfriend ordered a neat grand marnier and requested it in a snifter. However, the server never heard of a snifter and served the grand ma in a sherry glass. It does not feel that the pros outweigh the cons. read more

Been here many times for parties and drinks but our most recent experience finally inspired me to write a review. My wife and I were taking our new baby on our first family date and I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent service we received. Big shout out to the hostess Rachel who immediately found us a spot by a firepit and then checked in with us to move us inside once the other group's reservation was over - it was a typical chilly SF night so this was very appreciated esp with the baby. In addition Jose our server was really kind and sweet to our baby and took great care of us. We will definitely coming back! read more

We came to Charmaine's for the rose and paella event they've been having. The views of this place is spectacular. It was a nice sunny day in SF and they had a DJ. The paella itself was pretty good. It had a lot of seafood in it, which was definitely a plus. Watching them make and serve the paella in front you was an added bonus. Our only issue is we made the reservation for 2pm online, but it wasn't until we arrived that we were told last call is at 2:30pm. Our entire experienced felt rushed. The server that we had to was not friendly. We felt pressure to order quickly from the other menu. We had to ask multiple times to for just a one time refill on water. So just some advice don't book a 2pm reservation. I think the company should remove this as an option, especially since last call is at 2:30pm. read more

Amazing rooftop bar with gorgeous views of San Francisco particularly at sunset. Make sure to come out here. The neighborhood is very sketchy and the staff is very nice here but the drinks although they are stiff and a little over priced reasonably priced for San Francisco again, the music is always wonderful chill ambience, The only thing this place leaves you wanting more of is a varied menu, the menu has been the same since they open with no variety, no improvements, no additions to my knowledge, the Japanese chicken skewers meatballs are delicious, but they've been playing them since they open the lettuce wraps with pork are perfectly Glazed again something they've had on the menu for many years since he open and one thing I had never tried until today was the coup d'état with a lovely, perfectly made, honey walnut sauce, and a perfect pumpkin purée to dip pita breads, definitely a great pairing for any wine or beverage. The wine selection is very varied if you're looking at bottles but not if you're only looking for a glass and they don't make exceptions at least they have them for me. The many times I've been here. Another pitfall to be aware of here is in order to make a reservation. They charge $65 per person for minimum consumption which is very steep, but this place is an experience with great ambience. read more

The ambiance and environment were splendid! Beautiful day in September to enjoy the rooftop area! The downstairs entrance is quite misleading as to how nicely laid out the chic rooftop area is. The service was very nice. All employees were welcoming, and the waiter was attentive and kind. I ordered champagne while my friends ordered various appetizers and desserts (fries, olives, creme brûlée, pretzel balls, etc.) . Each person in my party enjoyed their food and drinks. However, I did not order food due to the very limited selections. It's best to have dinner before arriving and focus on enjoying the drinks and views; with the option to add a finger bite throughout your visit (limited healthy options). read more

Nice experience here! The vibes are immaculate. It's super upscale, cozy, and aesthetic. They're pretty strict about their waitlist and reservations, but we were able to make it in without a res. Unfortunately, food here was actually awful, except the fries. The apple cake tart dessert we ordered was horrible. Our service was really great and we had a very kind waiter. The drinks were ok. I think you really pay for the view and the vibes, because the food and drinks are not it. Although, I'd give this place another shot and see if they improve! read more

This was a "I wanna be on a rooftop" find. I remember looking this up last year when they were closed and bookmarked it. Cheers to thinking ahead. Last week there was one night in the city and surprisingly it wasn't cold. I tried calling before coming down to SF, but they didn't answer. It was pretty busy, so here is my number one tip. MAKE A RESERVATION IN ADVANCE, not the day of. I've checked a few times and they often don't have times available to book on the same day. Anyway, I got lucky. There was one table left, but it wasn't fireside. It wasn't cold, so we took it, but were told if there was a cancellation we could probably get a fireside table. Thank the heavens where the reservation cancellation goes reside. Someone canceled and we got a spot fireside. It was much warmer, and I kind of sat away from it like everyone else. We ordered two cocktails - Fifi the Flea and Mr. Jinx. They're both spicy, and if you've ever had a spicy drink before you know the taste - jalapeño. They do serve the drinks regular though. Next was the food. We ordered the crispy fish tacos. I'd give it a 3.5/5 stars. They didn't come from one of my go to restaurants, so I wasn't expecting to get all the delicious flavors of lime and cilantro lime sauce at a level 10, but they were alright. I got what I expected. Miso Braised Beef Rice Balls - meh. 2/5. I blame this on my taste buds and not liking anything that looks close to mayonnaise. Huitlacoche Stuffed Potatoes - 4/5. Pretty good, and I liked the guacamole topping. I didn't really come for the food, but def came for the drinks and experience, hence the five star rating. The service was good and swift. The drinks were strong. That's all I could have asked for. read more

A great spot for drinks with friends while enjoying San Francisco's views. Charmaine's is a lovely rooftop bar that offers a wide array of drinks. Wines, cocktails, beer...they have it all! Their food menu (dinner) is quite limited and the portions for some dishes are really small. I wish they offered more. Reservations are fairly easy to make and the staff is very helpful with answering questions. Note that they have a minimum spending limit of $75 of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Plan accordingly! read more

A friend and I went to Charmaine's for dinner and drinks before a show at the Orpheum. I've had Charmaine's on my list of restaurants to visit for a while and was excited when I saw that it was walking distance to the theatre. We were both really excited to try it. The menu look delicious and so did the cocktails. When we arrived, they really do a good job with welcoming their guests and ushering them up to the rooftop. The space they have created is great. The decor definitely adds to the ambiance that they are going for. We got lucky and the weather was perfect. It was so clear and not very cold. We got to sit outside at a fire pit and got to enjoy the gorgeous view. The fire pits are open and the seats are pretty close to them. A bit of my hair did get a little singed and I didn't think I was sitting very close. Everything was ordered was good. I wasn't swooning over any of the dishes though. We ordered the pork belly skewers and I expected them to be hot but they weren't. The sauce on them was definitely the star of that dish. We also got the burrata and pears. The combo of the flavours was really good. I felt the pears were very hard and would have enjoyed it more if they were either roasted more or riper. Lastly, we got the lettuce wraps which were my favourite. The sauce, again, was the star of this dish too. Truthfully, it didn't feel like anything was prepared fresh. It all felt prepped ahead of time and then sat somewhere waiting to be served. It did seem pricey for food prepared that way. I don't think I would eat dinner here again. My biggest complaint about eating here was that we were constantly shuffling plates around the tiny little tables that they gave us to eat off of. I would go back to get drinks again. We ordered the lovecat, fifi the flea, and on the moon. Neither of us enjoyed the on the moon. We didn't feel like there was any flavour to it. I loved the fifi the flea. It was fruity and super easy to drink. Our favourite was the lovecat though. I'm always skeptical about drinks with mezcal being too smokey but they made this cocktail very well. It was just the right about of smokiness. I would say some cocktails were worth the price tags and other definitely are not. Lastly, when I made the reservation, I had to pay $5 per person for an "experience" on open table. That is ridiculous. This alone cost them a whole star in my opinion. I would recommend Charmaine's for a carefully chosen cocktail, the view, and because it's aesthetically pleasing. Make sure to call to make a reservation so you aren't charged an extra fee or just try to go without a reservation. They weren't terribly busy when we went at 5pm. read more

The appetizers were very tasty, the service was great and the ambiance amazing. The drinks were just okay.

What's not to love? Great vibe. Great waiter, Ross. Nice & pretty drinks - I don't think you can go wrong there. I tried to different ones and each was well done! We made reservations on Open Table, which was necessary, given we saw other walk-ins turned away and asked to make online reservations. Would definitely come back and try the food, too! One weird thing was we heard a loud explosive sound, but never really found out what it was to be honest. *thinking emoji* So yeah ambiance is an easy +3 stars, drinks +1, Ross +1. read more

Charmaine's is a great place to visit for drinks and conversation so date nights and big groups work well here. I've had a birthday here on the roof some years ago and we had a really good time. The fire pits keep you warm on the roof in the city but I'd definitely suggest layers and a jacket because not only is it cold, but the moist foggy air makes it feel worse! Charmaine's does an awesome job at accommodating their guests though and they will bring you a blanket to keep warm! The surrounding area isn't so great. I hate that such a nice place is near an area that isn't safe. It's best to uber here unless you want to pay a $50 valet fee. read more

I stayed at the Proper Hotel after my wedding for a staycation, and I pleasantly found out that the room service and roof garden are all served by Charmaine's kitchen. The food is delicious. We ordered the breakfast porridge and croissant for room service. It was warm and comforting after a night of festivities. I loved the Asian flavors and the heartiness of the portions. For the rooftop brunch, I ordered the overnight oats and my new husband ordered the pork dish. We also had bloody Mary's and coffee. The view and the brunch were splendid. The personal fireplaces were a nice touch. TIP - you can ask the waiter to put a plank over the fireplace to turn it into a table. I wish we had known! read more

Charmaines has a beautiful view of the city and great for pictures! Their drinks are addictive as well as the atmosphere. Located at the top of the proper hotel you get seated on some small benches and eat near the fire place. The fire place warms up quickly but the cool San Francisco breeze will take care of that. They are on the higher side ($$$) so keep that in mind It's wonderful for celebrating anniversaries or birthdays! We ordered the charcuterie board and burger as well as Two drinks. Hard to get parking around the area :( unless you valet! read more

Great rooftop bar in the city! This restaurant is located at the Proper Hotel, however, there is a separate entrance on McAllister (there's a roped off entrance to signal the entrance). The location itself is in the Tenderloin aka not the BEST area, however, there's a good amount of security around the hotel and entrance to feel safe. I arrived here with my friend on a Monday at 5pm (right when they open), and we were able to get in without reservations. We had to take an elevator up to the top floor, and the views were amazing! We seated ourselves at the bar (it seems like no reservations are seated inside in the lounge or the bar, while reservations can sit outside with fire pits in each section to bask in that rooftop view!). For drinks, I ordered the Kissin' in the California Sun (I asked the bartender which one was their sweetest cocktail and he recommended this one!). The cocktail is indeed sweet and delicious! For food, my friend and I split the: - Pretzel rolls: delicious and was crisp on the outside, soft on the inside - Pork Belly Skewers: they ran out of the chicken meatballs so we ordered this instead. Typical pork belly where it's fatty, but the flavors were delicious - Crispy fish tacos: the fish was indeed crispy and the sauce had a little kick to it! My tortilla fell apart, but everything still tasted good deconstructed! Definitely my favorite of the bunch! - Pork Lettuce cups: pork was on skewers and had a sauce that had a tinge of sweetness, with some pickled daikon and carrots. The rolls were fun to eat and delicious! The staff and bartenders are friendly and helpful! The views are also nice, and the atmosphere is very trendy but relaxed. Overall, great rooftop bar in downtown SF! read more

Best espresso martini ever! Plus the place is cozy and charming. Staff is friendly and view is great.

Rooftops vibes. Our waiter was outstanding but the views and the vibes were better. A bit on the pricier side so expect to pay $20 per cocktail. Took my cousin here to celebrate his birthday as he flew in from Atlanta and it was perfect. Make sure you bring a coat. We both tried 3 different cocktails and a cheese plate and just talked and caught up with each other. Service was good, The aesthetic was great, customer service was outstanding. I would def come back. We also came on a Monday afternoon there were a lot ppl even families, I'm sure on the weekend and a bit later it's giving a Sexier vibe but I could be wrong. Valet was a bit confusing, so confusing we didn't even get to valet because no one came out to valet so we found street parking. read more

Upscale rooftop bar-restaurant with fantastic city views. Charmaine's comfortably perches atop the Proper Hotel, hugged by a balcony with tables arranged around fire pits. One of the hottest spots before the pandemic hit. Recently reopened with an updated booking policy--$75 per person minimum with an automatic 20% gratuity. Seats are limited so best to reserve online. My friend and I were able to walk in on an early Friday evening with no wait. They take their COVID protocols very seriously which included taking our temperatures when we walked in. Vegan options include the chopped salad, tempeh bahn mi, and Impossible burger. The tempeh bahn mi was delicious. The herbed tempeh was probably one of the best prepared tempeh I've ever had. The sandwich also came with a tasty vegan aioli that paired nicely with spice from the jalapenos. Note: since it is San Francisco, wear layers as it can suddenly turn windy and cool. Blankets are available by request. read more

Service was wonderful but what in the stale bread and expensive drinks is happening at this establishment!? $20 overly iced cocktails and excessively dry pretzels and measly 6 chips to go with the liquified egg plant dip were just too much to handle. Sure the ambiance one expects of a rooftop bar was aesthetically pleasing, but not for the price. I suppose this place is meant to cater to the pinky's up crowd, but if that's true, why are you located in tenderloin? It's a no for me read more

I don't usually post really negative reviews reviews as I often comment on flavor, ambience, service and attitude. We were at a corporate type of event and drinks were paid for. I asked the bartender about the Clase Azul and prices for each. I wanted to buy a client something special. The Clase Azul was $90 per shot. I was ordering 5. The bartender said to me after I was asking too many questions, "I am really busy here... can you order something quickly?" I was about to order $450 of drinks that were in addition to the contract and frankly,it wasn't that busy. So the drinks and view were great, but the attitude was poor. Additionally, I ordered the same combo at another bar and the price was 1/2. They lost my business that day and in the future. Bad attitudes aren't worth returning for. read more

Beautiful views on a clear day. Can't deny that. Also really enjoyed the cocktails. Creative and different. It is quite pricey though. $20 for a cocktail is steep even in SF. Would recommend for a fancy happy hour for a drink or two. read more

I am glad that they are still able to operate during Covid! It was super convenient as I was already a guest of the hotel. I read that it was reservations only during this time, and made a reservation as precautions and to help follow all the new guidelines, but they were super accommodating and I'm not sure a reservation was exactly needed. The roof top was a great view of the city, and it felt as a mini getaway. Because they aren't set up for a "restaurant" they are limited in tables, but have plenty of socially distanced seating. I had come for breakfast, and they didn't have anything more than side tables. As soon as a table freed up, they were ever so kind and offered to bring it to me so I can better enjoy my breakfast. I had ordered the Proper Breakfast Two Eggs, Chicken Sausage, Bacon, Smashed Fingerling Potato, Delicata Squash, Shiitake Mushrooms, Pomegranate, Grilled Sourdough which is priced at $24 and an iced coffee. The breakfast was most definitely yummy! Although slightly over priced for what you are ordering, but you do expect that when staying in a hotel. The service was beyond amazing, each and every staff member was super nice and accommodating ! I will most definitely be back! read more

My friend was visiting the city so I wanted to spend quality time with her. We originally were going to another roof top bar, but it got bought out and we needed another place last minute - thus finding Charmaines. Its an interesting luxurious experience. // LOCATION Charmaine is located in the Tenderloin district. I was luckily able to find parking a block away, but felt unsafe in the area as a woman walking by herself. The streets are dirty, and there's unpleasant interactions where I'll get catcalled. Charmaine is located next door to a hotel in a block that's shaped like a triangle. When you're there, you'll be greeted outside and taken up an elevator. The staff at the front that day were friendly! // SERVICE & DRINKS Since my friend got there before me, she was able to get a table quickly. From my understanding, apparently to sit by a heater, it costs $65 (not sure if per person or entire table). If you sit inside, there's no cost. It feels like a lounge and is elegant. The seating is comfortable. We were served quickly and checked up frequently. We were given a menu booklet to order. I got a Kiss in the California sun. It's a pretty pink drink, and smooth taste made out of absolut. 1/3 of it was ice though and ended up being $25 once the bill was paid. read more

Great views, delicious drinks, and amazing staff!! You will most likely need a reservation, unless you're staying at the hotel. read more

Such a great spot at the top of Prosper hotel. Access is from the McAllister side by the heating lamps. You'll take an elevator up that they give you access to. Beautiful area with indoor bar and lounge seating plus outdoor rooftop seating all with fire pits. They even offer you blankets if you're cold. Table areas are a bit small but they bring you an additional side table if necessary. We loved the flow of food in terms of how it came out. Our server was great at ensuring that everything didn't come out at once. We ordered a lot and shared everything. Pretzel rolls with an amazing smoked pimento cheese, burrata, fish tacos, pork belly skewers, French fries, and roasted pork lettuce cups. The staff are very friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. We'd come back again too. read more

In reality this is more of a 3.5 stars. Upscale rooftop bar in SF, parking is extremely difficult in the area so Uber if you can, absolutely make reservations if possible. First off, I would like to commend them on their COVID efforts. I did indeed feel safe the entire time and this was our first restaurant outing! Only one party is allowed the the elevator at a time and each individual gets their temperature taken before going inside the building. There is also an abundance of hand sanitizer and guests are safely distanced. Now, the rooftop is quite beautiful with tasteful decorations. I would come here again for the ambiance but nothing more. The food is good, but extremely overpriced for what you're getting. Drinks are average, but again overpriced. We shared the pork belly skewers appetizer, potato waffle appetizer, olives, steak & potatoes, and white chocolate mousse dessert. Overall, I wish we would've just gotten 5 orders of the pork belly skewers.... Potato waffle appetizer was absolutely smothered is wasabi sauce and in turn left us with a soggy waffle underneath. The olives were old? Once we ate the top few, the rest were all soft, had brown marks and dents. The steak was tender with amazing flavor but had tons of fat that did not dissolve in your mouth. The dessert was yummy but next time I'd save my money for dessert on the way home. read more

Charmaine's deserves all the hype!! The service and hospitality is top notch and the food is absolutely phenomenal. The meatballs were the stars of the show, it was extremely juicy and sooo flavorful it almost melted in my mouth. Also the proper cup was one of the freshest cocktails i've ever had, i could drink a pitcher of it... definitely recommend for a date night or night out with the girls because the ambiance and views of the city are top tier! grilled japanese chicken meatballs (10/10) pretzel rolls (7/10) crispy fish tacos (10/10) apple tart (9/10) chocolate cheesecake (8/10) proper cup (10/10) read more

Came here to start off an early birthday celebration and was pleasantly pleased with the experience! I ended up making a reservation a couple weeks in advance which is highly recommended because a lot of people will do it super early! When we came up, we were greeted and seated outside to the side of the rooftop bar. The landscape and views were so pretty, and I highly recommend coming here during sunset for the golden hour vibes. I believe one of the owners came to our table, and he was so kind and inviting, and he made us feel really welcomed during our experience here. If you sit outside by the rooftop, you essentially sit around a stove table with fire igniting to keep you warm and cozy. My friends and I all wanted to get different drinks so we got the Proper Cup, Salem Saberhagen, Fifi the Flea, and Kissin' in the California Sun. All of them were really good and aesthetic to the eye. I thought my least favorite was Fifi the Flea just because it was pretty strong, but that's just me. I really enjoyed the other drinks though. We also some food as well. We got the potatoes and also the pork belly skewers. Not gonna lie, the potatoes just tasted like... ordinary potatoes. I thought it was really expensive for what it was and there wasn't nothing in particular that made it worth $14 for just three potatoes. But the Pork Skewers were surprisingly delicious. I didn't think a fruit sauce would pair so well with the fattiness of the pork but it just worked so well. It was so good that we ended up getting another pair of skewers. Overall, this is a really good place to get a good view of the downtown city in SF. The service was really good, accommodating and the vibes of the city were really pretty. I would definitely come back again for another rooftop experience! read more

Lovely rooftop! We didn't have a rez on a random Thursday night, but we were placed on a waitlist around 820pm and 30 minutes later we were. I tidied that a communal spot opened up. Once we got upstairs, we asked to sit by the fire pits. They said we could sit for about an hour until the 10pm rez came thru, but they never did so we got to enjoy the outdoors for a minute. We even got blankets which was nice! Windy and slightly cold by the end but the blankets and fire helped. I didn't actually have anything to drink but the views were stunning. Nothing negative to share ! read more

I've been here a few times and you'll have to queue out front which then they call upstairs to let them know how many is in your party and you get escorted to the elevator and a few minutes later you are at the top floor, at the lounge. The ambiance is great. The views are amazing and it's a great place for a first date. Nice heaters for the outdoor seating but there is a minimum per person if you want to sit outside and if you come fri and sat. The service is a tad bit slow and the drinks are a little pricey but the vibe is good. One of the better rooftop bars in the city. Definitely will continue to come back. read more

Since contacting management doesn't seem to work, consider this post a last resort. My husband and I have reached out to Charmaine's management multiple times to discuss an incident that occurred on 5/4. We asked guests to meet us at Charmaine's following our wedding at city hall. Guests knew and were expected to pay for any drinks/food during this portion of the night. As we departed, I was CHASED down by our server and told there was a tab to be paid for all 60 guests. I paid it and tried not to be too upset given the nature of the day. Guess I was an easy target given the white dress. After talking to guests weeks later, a similar story and theme began to surface. When guests ordered, they tried to put a card down or pay and were told that there was a tab open for the party. This was a lie. There was never an arrangement with the bar to put down a card or any conversation confirming this. We've been calling for weeks trying to understand why our server lied to our guests and footed us with the entire bill. We are disappointed and angry to be taken advantage of on our wedding day to boot. This is a lovely lovely place but expect to be taken advantage of here and ignored when you try to talk to someone. read more
