    Caramel Latte
    Josh Y.

    Very cool menu with incredible hospitality from every single staff member. I was blown away by the kindness of each member of their team. French Toast was fluffy and phenomenal. Bacon was a thick perfectly cooked cut. Latte wasn't too sweet either a cool design. Highly recommend if you're in the area. Truly good service, actual real hospitality, is hard to come these days, so give them a shot and support local people doing amazing things.

    Came here with my friend after the Golden Gate 5K for a breakfast of champions. We luckily got seated very quickly, as we completed our race before the half marathoners. Service was great! We got our food quickly and it was delicious. I got an ice vanilla matcha latte and sausage and eggs. LOVED the potatoes! Would definitely recommend this place.

    French Toast, Bagel Fix-Up
    Mansi A.

    Had a ball at this brunch spot! I had this place was bookmarked for the longesttt time and finally got around to trying it out. My friend and I got the French toast with berries and a bagel fix-up (strawberry + blueberry on one side and eggs on the other). I was obsessed with how the eggs were made! It was so simple and comforting. If it was closer, I'd definitely stop by often to grab a bagel with just that spread! But am glad they allow you to try two flavors/spreads! The French toast was good as well, loved it with the berries. Would definitely recommend this place!!

    Came here randomly on a Sunday got welcomed and seated right away! Staff were super friendly, prices were a bit pricy but great portions, and the food was so good along with their black coffee! Everything was wonderful. We got an omelette and berry waffle but would definitely try the banana French toast next time (seemed to be a popular dish and looked yummy!)

    Avocado toast 3 ways
    Chelsea R.

    The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful but the food was incredibly mid, especially at the price point. I was really hopeful for more. The avocado on the toast was very bland - could use more salt, lemon, anything to add more flavor.

    11am, Thursday, March 20, 2025: Arrived at the end of breakfast rush. Super friendly service. $34 with tip for the Avocado Toast trio. Individual toppings were bacon, egg, & balsamic drizzled over some kind of square white cheese. Mozzarella? Wow, that's a lot of food, including a side fruit cup. A real diner experience for the tourists & locals, nothing like nearby Fisherman's Wharf. That's a good thing. I have a feeling I ordered the wrong meal, a diner is best for classic bacon & eggs. Let's get my pet peeve out of the way. The seeded pre-sliced sandwich bread was not toasted, not even I bit. Call it open faced sandwich, but not a toast. So there I was getting crabby as I ripped apart the soggy bread with a butter knife. The avocado was a runny spread. The bacon was delicious. I asked for over medium egg & it arrived easy, sunny side up. I didn't have an appetite left for the balsamic. Besides, it came on a large slice of beefsteak tomato. Hate that tasteless refrigerated filler item. The fruit cup was classic, you know, probably canned pineapple (which was tasty), 5 blueberries, one raspberry,perfectly ripe banana, ok strawberry slices, & cubes of rock hard cantaloupe & honeydew melon. Why? Just why? Kinda dark in here & on a typical chilly day the metal, backless stools were really cold & uncomfortable. Four sidewalk tables for the hearty. I'm giving this meal a 3 star, which should not be a deterrent if you're in the hood. Just know ahead of time what to expect. Others might love the generous portions & not care if they can' t eat the "toast" with their hands. I'm not sure if Eight AM is locally owned, but it deserves support from the neighborhood.

    If you're looking for great service, good food and conveniently located to the wharf, Eight Am is the place. We arrived at 8:30am on a Sunday and were seated right away, but within 15 minutes there was a long wait outside. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but we were comfortable and there is option for patio seating, we opted for indoors. The average cost per plate starts at around 25.00, the portions are good and the food is fresh. Gratuity is included in the bill here and after we had a few plates, a few juices, our bill was just under 100.00 for two. Service is quick, our waiter was friendly and attentive. We highly recommend a stop for breakfast here and we will definitely return when visiting San Francisco. Enjoy!

    Cute little restaurant on our walk towards the Piers. We sat outside and were greeted by friendly wait staff. I had their open-faced bagel and opted for a sweet and a savory option. One half of the bagel had avocado, deli ham and an over easy egg. The other half with cream cheese, strawberries and honey, served with a large side of ripe fruit. My friend had an egg dish which she loved. The food was served hot and quickly with big portion sizes

    The bagel plate, split in two and different topping options, was outstanding! Opted for avocado/ham/egg and cream cheese/strawberries/blueberries toppings! Delicious!!! Also comes with a generous side of fruits!

    Frittata with fruit and potatoes. Added hot sauce
    Amanda H.

    Tried this place for the first time today. The street construction outside is a little bummer but hopefully it's short lived. The patio out front is lovely. The food is tasty. The service was quick and friendly. My frittata was just a little bland but some hot sauce and salt/pepper fixed it right up. Love that the fruit is good fruit and not just melons

    5star! Blown away! Jeffery was immaculate at seating us, serving us, and getting us exactly what we wanted. Ordered the 8am & NoValley frittata. Amazing. Fresh squeezed OJ and Lattee was amazing. 5 star! Come here now.

    What a fabulous place. We were in SFO for 3 nights and went for BF to this joint each morning. The staff is very very polite, the place is crowded and immensely popular so be prepared to wait. Trust me the food is totally worth the wait. I will be coming back to this one on my next visit. Loved it!

    What's the parking situation?

    There are stree parking around the area, if your hotel is near by, might be easier to walk vs drive.

    Are they pretty quick in bringing the food out?

    Yes. Food comes within minutes of ordering. The only crazy wait is to be seated ( no reservations, you have to put your name down once you arrive, and wait for a table. Could be from 5 to 30 min)

    Dogs allowed on outdoor dining?

    Yes

    Do they take Apple Pay?

    They take apple and google pay

    Gluten free food available?

    Well... they have eggs, fruit, avocado etc. so I'm sure you could get creative. If someone has posted a picture of the menu maybe it will state specific dishes but you won't starve if you utilize all the delicious gluten free items and make a… 

    Do they have mimosas and marys?

    They don't:/

    Do u take reservations?

    they did not take reservations...

    Any vegan or dairy free options?

    The menu is extensive and the chef will be happy to accommodate a request not on the menus. He did for us. I'm pretty sure you could find food that fits your need.

This review is…read morelong overdue as I had an amazing experience at Trestle for a birthday dinner a whole year ago. By sheer luck, my birthday coincided with the 4-course for $45 promotion they were running for their 10-year anniversary. I had to jump at the opportunity, especially since the menu was built from the all time favorite items at the restaurant since their opening. I really couldn't think of a better way to experience a restaurant for the first time. While some set course meals have a few misses, this one was just hit after hit the entire way through. I really felt as if every course was complimentary, but different enough in their own way to stand on their own and make an impact. Tldr: the food was amazing! The icing on the cake (figuratively and literally) was just how far they went out of their way to make my birthday night special. Exceptional service, bringing out a complimentary dessert with a candle, and even leaving a personalized card elevated this experience to the next level. Would highly recommend paying Trestle a visit, and I can't wait for the next time I'm able to try their new menus myself!

    Can no longer recommend for special night…read more My husband and I came here a number of times probably 8-10 years ago. We always had a really great dining experience but after moving further away and having kids, we never found our way back until recently. Having nostalgia and taking advantage of being child free, we came here for my birthday. While we were greated with great friendliness by the female hostess and even handed a nice little happy birthday card/note, the mood was pretty quickly killed. Our waiter (an Asian male) literally dropped off the menu and asked for our water order with zero conversation. I took regular still water and my husband asked for sparkling water. We waited quite a while watching him exchange pleasantries with the table next to us (a group of 4) and even the other table of two on our other side. I could see the dining room from my seat and noticed that the tables of people who arrived before and after us all has their drinks - some with cokes and other with wine. My husband after maybe 5-10 minutes still had no water. When the waiter finally came back to us, he said in the most curt tone I have experience at a restaurant - tell me your whole order now. I interjected saying, excuse me my husband has not even received his water yet. He seemed annoyed at my response and just said, your water will come out with your food. What kind of response was that? It was not apologetic and almost accusatory that I dated ask. I told him that I'm seeing everyone else served their drinks, water seems like a bare minimum request after all our wait. He continued to be pretty rude. Never explained the menu or made any recommendations. Just "ok". It was a really unpleasant birthday dinner. We told ourselves maybe he has some spectrum qualities, but based on his interactions with the table next to us that didn't seem like a plausible excuse. Service aside, the food pacing was so fast. It felt like there was no time to enjoy the meal because once they took one plate away it seemed like the next course was immediately served. Overall the meal was satisfactory, but I don't think we'll ever be coming back at this point with so many other options in the city. We felt really unwelcomed by the service for whatever reason.

Good wine and cocktail selection from the bar. I would pass on their burgers though which are mediocre. What makes this place 5-stars is the service and ambiance. Some of their staff have been there for several years, which is a testament to how well the restaurant is run. Since it's along the Embarcadero and close to Fisherman's Wharf, a lot of tourists tend to wander in. And this is probably why their website says there's a strict dress code. But I feel comfortable coming here in shorts and a t-shirt. The staff is always welcoming. I also go to the Los Altos Grill which is the same restaurant as Hillstone.

The atmosphere is inviting, and the staff was attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. We started with the artichoke dip, which was enjoyable but fairly standard. For $24 artichoke dip was far from with it. The steak was ok and had good flavor. However, considering the price, the portion and overall value didn't quite align with expectations, it didn't feel like the meal justified the premium cost. Overall, Hillstone is a nice restaurant with excellent service and a great location. Although the food was ok, I felt the value could be stronger given the pricing.

From changes in the menu to headcount, she was so receptive and gave great recommendations. Everyone was thrilled with the venue and food selection. Everything served was delicious and well appreciated. My personal favorite were the raw items- the beef tartare, sushi, and oysters were divine. The beef tartare had such a thoughtful presentation, as it was served with Asian pear upon a delicate rice cracker. I also loved the french fries and housemade potato chips that were ordered! The truffled ham and cheese croquettes had a delightful creamy spice to them due to the harissa inside them, it was so savory with a layered flavor to them. I also loved the chicken tsukune, everything was amazing to lay our eyes on and to eat. I think my very minor issue would be that I ordered non-alcoholic beverage packages for my entire party and alcoholic beverages for a few, and I would say that the selection could be a bit more expansive and also elaborate upon what beverages there are to choose from. An inclusive cocktail package would be fantastic. I would recommend this location for anyone looking to host a corporate event nearby Fidi.

The dishes were very vegetable heavy, which we loved, since it didn't leave us feeling heavy at the end of the meal. The pork belly was our favorite dish, as it was so incredibly tender and packed with flavor. The steak was cooked perfectly and we really enjoyed the pepitas seeds mixed in. In retrospect, I think we definitely should have ordered the glassy potato, which we were advised was a menu standout, but we didn't listen!! Everything was delicious though, I just will definitely have to come back to try this dish! I do wish their outdoor patio was better heated, I was super cold throughout the meal and had to use my partner's coat to cover my legs. I also wish they gave people the option to book covered patio vs. indoor as I definitely would have preferred to sit inside the main part of the restaurant. Still recommend though!
