    Pavlova
    Alisa P.

    We went to Dacha on a date with my husband and it was really nice. I loved the beautiful interior and spacious dining area. Tables for two are tiny though so from time to time we had hard times rotating the plates while sharing. Food: Syrniki were our favorite! Soft and juicy with a bit crunchy brûlée outside + raspberry sauce on the side. Top notch! Rustic Benedict was flavorful and full of texture thanks for crisp potato pancakes they used instead of muffins. The dessert - Pavlova cake was a bit bland though. Too much sweet cream and just a little of the fruit filling which supposed to make the taste more diverse. The other downside was the $9 for still water. Outside of that the place is nice and I'm planning to come back to try their borscht and golubci.

    We came here because the menu is very interesting. We had three dishes - pork belly, latkes, and cremebrulee as dessert, and everything is amazing.

    Eggplants rolls

    Very good experience on a Saturday night with my husband and our daughter! I booked a table for 6:15pm and the restaurant was not busy! We seated immediately and we ordered a few items to share: the eggplant roll, the mushroom Piroshki, the goulash and the trout. My favorite was the goulash! I don't eat meat anymore at home, but sometimes when I go out I still do, and the beef meat was perfectly cooked! Also the trout was good and my daughter ate almost the entire portion. The piroshki was ok, but there was something missing for me! My least favorite were the eggplants rolls...the bitterness of the eggplants covered everything! We shared a glass of wine and at the end the honey cake (it was delicious). Overall was a very good experience, and I'd love to try other plates and the brunch menu! The restaurant has a very nice decor and the service was pretty fast!

    We came here on July 4th. The interior and exterior are really well decorated, with nice ambiance and background music. The highlight of the meal were the eggplant rolls -- I wouldn't have expected avocado puree to go well with eggplant but it was delicious! Both the chicken cutlet and cabbage roll were tasty, though less notable compared to the eggplant roll. We loved the dessert as well - though we read a lot of good things about the honey cake, we went with the Pavlova and were glad we did - the meringue with berries tasted amazing, though we wish they used a bit less whipped cream. The pearl crescent felt like a premium boba drink with the right amount of sugar. To top it off, it was our waitress's first day on the job but she was superb!

    DACHA has now become my San Francisco, staple places to eat and recommend! Not only is their food exceptionally tasty in flavor and texture, but the owners here are so hospitable and really involved in the community! There's a bunch of private rooms, which I really appreciate the bar is stunning and huge! There is a lot they offer on their menu! I highly recommend the GOLUBCI and DACHA GOULASH!! And definitely get the infused vodka! You will not regret it! I can't wait to be back in town to try the rest of the menu!

    DACHA Goulash (beef)
    Yan L.

    Modern, Russian fusion cuisine at it's best. I got the privledge to enjoy the DACHA Goulash, the beef was very tender with the sauce covering it really added depth to the meat's flavor. The Lamb Chop Mangal definitely tasted gamey, if you like the taste of lamb you're gonna love the flavor of this dish, it doesn't get hidden. I would skip the pirogi, a small portion of 1 for $10 and nothing special you can't get at a Russian bakery. Tea was flavorful, lasted 3 of us throughout the dinner (with hot water refills). For dessert we had 3 options, but 1 was out, so we got the honey cake and settled for the pavlova. Honey cake was the definite favorite, dense and creamy, exactly how it should be. The service was intimate. We had the host, bartender, and server checking up on us frequently. To be fair we had the place to ourselves the first half of dinner (around opening 5pm, then people started crowding in around 6). A tip for this restaurant is to get the inkind rewards app to get $50 toward your next $150+ visit or you can also use the blackbird app here as well.

    STUNNING! We are visiting from out-of-town and our friends from Petaluma recommended this place because they had seen it on an episode of "Check, Please" (PBS) and they decided that since I am from New Orleans (and like to fancy myself a bit of a foodie) that I might enjoy this delightful restaurant. Well, they were absolutely correct. In fact Dacha is probably in the top three best restaurants I've ever been to. Ever. Run, don't walk, and come here to be blown away by the fantastically prepared and equally beautifully presented food. It was phenomenal! Additionally these are some of the best cocktails you will ever have. If Dacha isn't rated with a Michelin recognition at the least or given a starred rating in the very near future I will be shocked! By the way, the service is TOP NOTCH too!

    It's rare these days that I want to give a restaurant 5 freaking stars, but Dacha earned it! We went on Halloween and the place was fully decked out with decorations with a DJ cranking the beats out! For starters, the service was on point; our waitress was attentive and provided great recommendations. The food was masterful in preparation and presentation. The innovative takes on Eastern European dishes took me by surprise in every course. I was especially wowed by dessert! You'd be hard pressed to find pavlova on a Bay Area menu, and this one has to be the best I've had. It's not too sweet and the meringue shell and cream complement each other perfectly. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

    The ambiance of the place was very fancy with roomy ceiling and comfortable vibes. The waitress was kind and she explained the dishes and made recommendations, which we really appreciated. The food served tasted very clean and healthy, and the harmony of the ingredients tasted very appropriate.

    Herb Cake (sponge cake, cowberry mousse, strawberry jelly, walnuts. [V]) with Sea Buckthorn Tea for two (Honey Cake in the background)
    Mike V.

    This formerly unassuming corner in Lower Nob Hill has become a unique standout for exceptional Eurasian food, with Sofiya (Uzbek, Tajik, Kyrgyz) on the Northeast corner and now the incredibly fun and delicious Dacha on the southeast. Dacha's menu straddles brave takes on Eastern European standards with tried and true comfort foods that would make your baba proud. Flavor combinations are rich and well-structured and lead to a slow and deliberate meal you'll want to share with your best conversationalist friend or a fun date. Especially someone you don't mind sharing apps and entrees with (see below): Where to begin, the standouts: The DACHA stroganoff. My lord. Had to be shared, only fair to share, but a real standout and nothing like a stroganoff you've tried. Yes, their protein choices amount to a big swing which the chef knocked out of the park. Be brave. You will be rewarded. The Herb Cake (cut from the menu "Soft herb sponge cake served with delicate cowberry mousse, topped with a thin strawberry jelly and a sprinkle of crushed walnuts.") Though i also really enjoyed the Honey Cake. If you can find a way to portion out the rich chocolate honeycomb on top so you get a little chocolate in every honey cake bite, i think it's a balanced flavor combination. DO NOT pass on the Sea Buckthorn tea with dessert! We were already googling where to buy this hearty and beautiful shrub from Washington State nursery's after one sip. Also loved the Tarkhun (Tarragon Lemonade). Mushroom piroshki was very very good. Dacha knows their mushrooms. Looking forward to coming back with a larger group and trying the fried potatoes with oyster mushrooms next. Even with it being a uncharacteristically warm Saturday evening, the Slavic stew was delicious. There are many many unique flavors hidden within this one and whether it was the pork or the chicken or the vegetables we both had goosebumps on every fourth bite. Very excited for the salmon with beet puree and yellow bell pepper pineapple sauce and the scallops on our next visit (we're taking mom and dad). Parking can be a challenge in this area, though there are four parking garages within a block and a half in every direction in including the SFMTA Polk and Bush garage. Strongly recommend ride-share or garage over circling for street parking. PS our server Ivanna was delightful and a great guide through the menu.

    Fantastic food and service, everything was extremely flavorful. I am counting down the days until I'm able to make it back here! If you're a fan of Eastern European food this is a great place to check out. I would especially recommend the Golubci (and they're much more filling than they seem). It was a bit hard to find, but once you step inside there is an inviting atmosphere. Everyone was very friendly and I was seated and served very quickly.

    DACHA Project was founded by friends and co-owners Katya Skye, Suki Skye, Chef Katya Pervushina, and Tanya Ivanovich. They support community with core values of Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Dignity, and Empathy. What does Dacha mean? Seasonal or year-round second home centered around family, food, and gathering. Their guiding principle is "Feeding with love. Leading with peace." Indeed they are feeding and it's good. I went with a group to Queer Prom, one of many events hosted by Dacha. The theme was KISMET & KARMA. The event was fun and made possible with various fun vendors. *co-hosts were Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence *Music by U-Mee Dee *Tarot card by Sean Anoie *Fun pottery by Opravlo *Karaoke *Portion of proceeds went to Rainbow Railroad, who helps queer people escape countries where they aren't safe to be themselves. Dinner menu had special cocktails and treats. The food was outstanding. I've tried several entrees and they were beautifully done. Service is warm and welcoming. The eggplant rolls are my absolute favorite appetizer. I've had it twice and I'll be back for more. The salmon plate reinvented salmon for me. It was perfectly cooked with a crisp skin and laid on a colorful puree of beets and maybe carrots. I'm not sure but it was delicious! Suki and Katya, well done! Dacha is a gem.

    I love trying different brunch spots around SF and was excited to come to this Eastern European restaurant for their weekend brunch. We weren't feeling super hungry so ended up getting the Mama's Dacha Breakfast and Syrniki Brulee to share which ended up being a great sweet and savory pairing. The Mama's Dacha Breakfast reminded me of shashuka with fried eggs in a herby tomato sauce. Simple but really comforting and yummy. Our server asked if we wanted to add an egg as the dish comes with three eggs and we happily took her up on it. The Syrniki was what we came for and these cottage cheese pancakes lived up to expectations! Loved how firm they are outside but with a creamy center and the sour cream, berry compote, and thick greek yogurt on the side complimented it perfectly. It was a nice, less sweet version of pancakes which is just perfect! Service was great and really friendly. The neighborhood isn't the best but I was surprised by how few people were dining in. Definitely a spot to check out for a unique spin on the typical brunch dishes.

    Lore's Wonderland escape room was a fun and delightfully whimsical experience. **This review is…read moremainly for the escape room, as we did not order any additional drinks outside of the escape room.** THE SPACE // Lore Speakeasy and Escape Room has cool themed decor everywhere, from the dimly-lit speakeasy/bar room in front, to the Middle Earth/Lord of the Rings-themed board game room, to the individual bathrooms, and of course the escape room's multiple Alice in Wonderland-themed rooms. Clearly a lot of effort went into building these rooms and evoking a certain vibe for each. THE ESCAPE ROOM // The puzzles in the escape room varied in difficulty - some required us to think a bit more, some required our observational skills to work harder, and others required a light level of physical skill/movement. We were perplexed a few times but never got stuck for too long, as the White Rabbit (played by Phoenix, the live actor/puzzle master) would jump in occasionally to provide clues over the speaker or in person. It took us about 1 hr 20 min to finish the entire escape room; I thought the pacing was good. THE [ESCAPE ROOM] DRINKS // Lore's escape room experience comes with "a flight of themed cocktails or mocktails, including "potion"-style drinks that are integrated into the experience as you progress", per the website. We got to choose one cocktail/mocktail option (Korean Cold Noodles) from a list on the website, and the other two drinks are pre-selected to supposedly fit into the Wonderland theme, with the flavors described online as "berry" and "peach". You can get both cocktail and mocktails for your party, in case some people want alcohol and others don't. We all enjoyed the flavor of the Korean Cold Noodles cocktail, which was refreshing and surprisingly a bit minty in the mocktail version. However, we didn't like the two other two pre-selected themed drinks as much. The "berry" drink gave us cherry cough syrup vibes, and the cocktail version of it was quite strong. The "peach" mocktail drink reminded me of canned fruit syrup; we also were missing the two cocktail versions, though we decided not to ask for them as the mocktail version already was less than impressive. One other missed expectation here was the size of the drinks that we received in the escape room. We were expecting full-sized cocktails, like what they serve in the speakeasy in front. Instead, we found out that the drinks are served in small "vials". Given the size of the drinks in the escape room, combined with us not even enjoying two out of the three drinks, I would preferred to go through the escape room without the drinks at all, and likely pay a bit less for the escape room then. OVERALL // I'd still recommend the escape room as a good one-time experience with a date/friends/family. Just don't expect too much from the included themed drinks! The speakeasy drinks on the main menu do sound unique/tasty, so I might come back again to try those sometime.

The shishito peppers ended up being extremely spicy as well, those are usually just a few spicy and not the majority. The roasted lemon and salt was a wonderful combo but just too spicy to eat. However, the server very kindly removed it from our bill without us asking. We order the crostini because we were still hungry and that was an absolute hit. Delicious med-soft crostini with luscious berries and sweet honey. I didn't care my hands got sticky as it was soooo good! Great experience, I would be weary if the peppers as I'm a bit spice-intolerant but everything else was spot-on.

    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!

    I've been coming to Third Rail regularly for over two years and have always enjoyed the cocktails…read moreand atmosphere. Under the previous ownership, the staff was incredibly accommodating. When they removed my favorite Polar Bear-style drink from the menu, they were happy to let me bring over a fresh shot of espresso from the neighboring café so they could recreate it. Yesterday, under the new ownership, I was told I "technically can't" bring in an outside shot of espresso and that they couldn't make the drink. I understand businesses can change their policies, and that's their prerogative. What disappointed me was the way it was communicated. As a longtime, loyal customer, the interaction felt unnecessarily rigid and unwelcoming rather than customer-focused. It's unfortunate because I've recommended this bar to many people over the years, but after today's experience, it doesn't feel like the same place.

    Be sure to make a reservation! On a random Wednesday evening this place was VERY busy. Luckily I…read morewas able to make a reservation on Open Table for later in the day. We started dinner with oysters. They were fresh, clean and the beet chili jam sauce was very vibrant. It was a great combination of flavors. It's topped with fried shallots which adds a nice crunch to end off the bite. For dinner I had the uni amaebi donburi. It comes with ikura, sweet raw shrimp and uni. There was also a layer of what seemed to be finely processed mushrooms under the ikura which added a nice texture. The egg yolk added a richness and creaminess throughout the dish. It is a very rich dish so I didn't mind that it was what others described as a smaller portion. I'd definitely stop in again for dinner with friends.

I've been here several times since their first opening and through their numerous cup changes. I can say the matcha is consistently good, and glad the cup size is bigger :) Matcha einspanner is great, the latte is not sweet and you can taste the matcha quality, milk proportions are just right. Einspanner cream is delicious too and a sweet treat paired with the latte, and topped with matcha powder.
