    Fun on a bun
    James K.

    The food was amazing. The beef carpaccio that we had looks the same as the pictures here online. The drinks that we had were marvelous I think we also had the seafood carpaccio, which was not as good as the beef carpaccio but still amazing. I would have to say this might be the best beef carpaccio I've had in my life. The service was very good, even though it was packed. They did their best to accommodate us and the ambience of course is modern wonderful to just chill with friends, or a first or second date with. I will be returning. But make sure you bring your wallet lol

    What a cute vibey spot. We came for a birthday party and they did a great job doing a set menu. The maitake mushrooms, kanpachi, and the grilled branzino were definitely the highlights. I had high hopes for the cioppino but it was too tart sour for my liking. The fried chicken was pretty tasty but since it was last to come out, we were way too full. The drinks were great! I enjoyed the peachy blinders. The panna cotta was nice too. Our server was attentive and helpful with taking photos. The entrance to this restaurant is so fun and makes a great photo. Oh and they had a tv so I could sneak peeks at the World Cup game. Recommended for a night out with friends.

    Lamb ribs

    I had dinner service for the first time last night & it was an excellent experience. Reservations are strongly recommended as they are very popular and busy but the long bar area is first come first serve. I was able to make reservations a few weeks in advance for 7 PM on a Saturday. The entrance walkway is beautifully decorated with wood accents and soft lighting. The main dining room is up a few steps and is beautiful, has high ceilings with sky lights, low profile furniture & soft lighting with candles on the dining tables. There is an outdoor deck but I am not sure if they have any heaters but everyone who was sitting outside was wearing their jackets. I reserved a table inside. Service is amazing! We were warmly greeted by our server, who was helpful guiding us through the menu. We like to share plates & this food menu is designed for that. Cocktails feature many ingredients made in house & I had the What the Fig cocktail (honeydew & cucumber infused vodka, Dolin vermouth, falernum) and later had the Ai Papaya (clarifed papaya infused pisco, dairy, lemon, simple syrup). Both cocktail were unique & very tasty. For food, we had: Fried Maitake Mushrooms - we were warned in advanced that this is a big portion, but we were very hungry and ate the whole thing. It was not greasy although it was fried, and had a mild dipping sauce on the side. Shrimp Cocktail - big juicy shrimp was super fresh. Kanpachi Crudo - delicately prepared & plated & was delicious. Octopus - I personally thought that it was just ok & thought that it was on the drier side than other octopus that I have had. Lamb Ribs - our server warned us that most people expect lamb chops, but these are lamb ribs, which are fattier and richer than lamb chops and to be prepared. I'm glad that she set our expectations. I agree that it's faster, but the flavors were delicious and the meat was very tender. Panna Cotta - vanilla panna cotta with mango & passion fruit topping was light & not too sweet, the perfect ending to a great meal. It was a great experience & I will be back soon.

    I love this spot! There are very few places in SF that have this look and feel, while offering good food and drinks. The fried chicken here is one of my favorite dishes, along with the maitake mushrooms tempura. All the cocktails are a lot of fun too and aren't outrageously expensive. This is the perfect restaurant for a birthday dinner, special occasion or a big group looking for a nice night out.

    Ryan's service exceeded our expectations. He was attentive, provided excellent food and drink recommendations, and was very accommodating when modifying a drink for my friend. His hospitality truly stood out and made our experience memorable. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a great vibe and energy. Combined with the outstanding service, it made for a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely be returning. We were also delighted by the personalized menu created for the birthday girl. It was such a thoughtful touch that made the celebration feel extra special and memorable.

    With a mesmerizing floral archway, Equal Parts draws customers in to experience delicious coastal cuisine. The restaurant has a beautifully decorated interior as well as a cozy tree-lined outdoor seating area. The greatest surprise was meeting Coco and Marco, the restaurant owner's cats, who would often wander table to table or cozy next to a diner. Standout main dishes were the braised pork shank and roasted octopus. Both were so tender, generous portions, and worth the price. The only dish that fell short for us was the dark chocolate mousse, which was a frozen swirl of chocolate with a side of toasted bread (the same bread given for the cioppino). The dish was not like any traditional mousse and the bread felt too heavy to be dessert. Despite our disappointment with the dessert, the appetizers and mains were overall amazing. I would recommend everyone come try this place.

    Cocktail, small bites

    What a fun event! I loved the presentation along with the snacks, complimentary cocktail, and delicious whiskey. I enjoyed the crispy mushroom, French fries, potato circles, and steak. The tempura was crispy and satisfying, while the steak slices were cooked well and shared between my friend and I. The whiskey shots were strong, smoky, and pure. I generally enjoyed the experience surrounding Ardbeg Day. Beyond the excellent presentation of the food, I appreciated the presentation and storytelling about the whiskey, which made the event feel quite engaging and memorable as we shared our whiskey shots together.

    Needed an hour to kill ahead of a dinner reservation so we came by for a round of cocktails at the bar. As a walk-in, you could just grab a seat at the bar. Atmosphere is beautifully decorated and the entire vibe feels like you're in Tulum. - Ai Papaya - Clarified papaya infused pisco, dairy, lemon, simple, condensed air. A riff on a Pisco sour. Well, balanced and flavorful with a beautiful clean presentation. TBH, while the drink was tasty I actually liked the condensed air on top more than the drink itself. Whatever ingredients went into making is very well done. Given the elevated atmosphere of the space, I thought that drinks would cost $20 plus but they're actually decently priced at about $16 each. Will come back and try some more drinks.

    Equal Parts has a sexy, lively vibe with a bustling bar that sets the tone for a fun night out. The creative cocktails are excellent and worth the visit alone. It's the kind of place you'd choose to impress someone over dinner in North Beach. The menu is designed for sharing, with tapas-style plates. We ordered the Kona kampachi, the tomato and nectarine salad, and the fried chicken. The kampachi was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious, although the portion was just four perfect bites. The tomato and nectarine salad was the only disappointment. The tomatoes were soft and mealy, so the dish lacked the bright, summery flavors we were expecting. The fried chicken was yummy with two crispy, juicy pieces and packed with flavor. It was served with three dipping sauces in small tins, but no vegetables or sides, making it feel a bit incomplete as a dish and in the bone so not great to share with a group. Ryan, our server, was friendly, attentive, and experienced. He kept our drinks topped off and made us feel well taken care of throughout the meal. Overall, Equal Parts is a great choice if you're looking for inventive cocktails, a stylish atmosphere, and shareable plates. Just know that some dishes are small, and not every plate is a home run.

    Delicata squash appetizer

    Dinner tonight and it was ok. Was very much looking forward to this spot, and there was nothing bad, some ok, and some good. First off, we were seated and then no one came by for a really long time. Once they finally did we ordered some drinks and apps but had to ask about the best way to order. Turns out it's family style so now you know lol. For appetizers, the carpaccio was really good - good mix of flavors and textures. Shrimp cocktail - fine, basic. Dinner entrees - rough. Everything was tan and fatty - missing flavor, acid, veggies or something: branzino was the best of the bunch - pork and lamb rib were fatty and bland. Dessert was amazing and I don't have a sweet tooth. Panna cotta is super yummy and the chocolate mousse with the bread was phenomenal. All in all would go back with low service expectations for drinks and desserts - not a group dinner

    Birthday celebrations are still going strong I have two more after this lol Let me start with Equal Parts in SF. I was looking up what's new in SF when I came across a reel on IG, and it instantly gave me Tulum vibes. And yes, Cherlynn it's about the vibes Your review confirmed this was the spot. Reservation for 6, please. The atmosphere was vibrant, tropical, and full of boho-chic energy. We were seated on the patio, which felt like a cozy greenhouse with heaters that kept it warm enough to enjoy outdoor dining with just a light jacket. Our server was on point, and of course, we ordered the way we always do. We started with two bone marrows for the table, maitake mushrooms, little gem salad with shrimp, French fries, beef carpaccio, braised pork shank, and roasted octopus. Drinks were flowing, and dessert was extra special thanks to my precious friends who surprised me. Overall, expectations were met and everyone left satisfied. Definitely a fun spot to celebrate and kick off another birthday outing with a bang

    I've been wanting to try Equal Parts for a while now and finally found a time to go with a girlfriends for a girl's night out. The vibe and ambiance is great, the minute you walk in, it has a fun Tulum atmosphere with natural wood and gorgeous lighting. For food we got the little gem salad, cured trout, green cioppino, and fried chicken to share. It was definitely more than enough for 2 people to share but everything was really yummy. My favorite had to be the cured trout with crème fraîche, trout roe, and watercress which was a great app. The trout had a nice smokiness to it and it paired well with the simple gem salad. For entrees, the green cioppino was good with a sour tomatillo broth that was a bit more saucy that soupy. I think I still prefer a traditional cioppino as I missed the nice light seafoody flavor that I love. The fried chicken was the surprise of the night as it was really nicely fried with a nice crunchy exterior and really juicy inside. The red pepper salmorejo sauce was fantastic and with the chicken, the best bite of the meal. Definitely worth trying out and make sure you make a reservation in advance!

    Fancy burger with fries
    Natalie C.

    Equal Parts SF is one of those places you want to love. It's stylish, lively, and clearly aiming to be one of the city's new "it" spots. The cocktails are fun and creative, the staff is genuinely lovely, and the food is surprisingly great across the board -- the burger is juicy and well‑seasoned, the pork chilaquiles come drenched in just the right amount of excessive sauce, and the fries arrive with three dipping sauces (the white BBQ is the standout). But the elephant in the room -- or rather, the smell -- is impossible to ignore. There was a persistent bathroom/sewage odor throughout the space that completely undercut what should've been a really enjoyable brunch. It's hard to settle in and appreciate good food when the air smells like a toilet. If they can fix the odor issue, this place has real potential. The team is warm, the drinks are playful, and the food is legitimately delicious. But as it stands, the smell overshadowed everything else.

They've got solid classics too if you're not feeling adventurous. Walls are covered in cool local SF photos and art that make it feel proudly San Franciscan. Only street parking available but there's plenty of bus lines that drop you off in ths neighborhood & there's no food served onsite, but they brought in complimentary Golden Boy pizza for the game watch party which quickly went into my stomach after downing a few cocktails. Staff was friendly and on point, and it's great for locals or anyone wanting elevated drinks without the pretension. Perfect pre-dinner spot in North Beach or for a full night out.

    Memories. Oy the…read morenights we spent here back when it was the Washington Square Bar & Grill. And then Cobalt. It wasn't just pre-pandemic, it was when north beach was uber community oriented. *sigh* Those days may be gone, but petite lil's is filling that sense of community void rather nicely. As soon as we walked in, we perched ourselves at the bar, & we were made to feel nothing but welcome. I had H with me, & she & I tend to do that thing where we "don't know" what we should order, as if we've never been to a bar before, even though god knows, we have. We are many things, but ingénues are not one of them. No doubt it would be a tired game for a bartender lacking in prowess, personality, & patience. Fortunately for us, you won't find that kind of bartender here. Because we are not ingénues, our days of ordering silly things (fireball), "insider" things (green chartreuse, fernet), or just stupid things (fireball) are happily behind us. We are Napa Valley & wine lovers so of course we naturally default to wine. Another truth that makes that initial game of "what should we get" so ridiculous. After carefully perusing the impressive menu, we did order wine, but we noted the martini and Negroni options. Hungry? The menu is full of stellar options; caviar, oysters (both raw or broiled), steak frites, charcuterie...even French omelettes. They do a "booth steak," a 32oz tomahawk! $99 (limit only 2 per night). We had such a great time, instead of meeting up with my husband elsewhere when he got off work as planned, we had him join us here. I saw his face light up when he saw that tomahawk on the menu so needless to say it's now on the list. It's a huge space (always was), so it's perfect for a night out w all your peeps, & any game day/night. It was our first time, but we were treated like we've been here a hundred times. Everyone was. Incredible menu. Great vibe. We will be back for dinner and... everything. 5 stars

It was a giant fuss on an absolute cold March night and the owner just seems to make a sport out of embarrassing patrons who were trying to keep warm.

We did a little weekend day drinking at Legacy and when we saw customers sporting their Frisco gear, we knew we were in the right place! Sorry but it's Frisco, The Sco, or The City, it's NEVER San Fran. For those who disagree, tell that to Mac Dre, Too $hort, and the Hells Angels.
