Located on the second floor of the old building. I was hungry and when I found out that there was a…read morecafeteria I decided to check it out. After COVID, it's only take out. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Menu changes daily. Make sure to check the hours of operation. I went on a Wednesday for dinner and they had Mongolian beef or veggies with tofu. The sides that were available were jasmine rice or string beans. I chose the Mongolian beef for 3.75$, tofu veggie for 2.75$ and veggie sides for 1.xx$ the taste was decent for hospital cafeteria food. Exceeded my expectation. I will go back for lunch and breakfast to see what they offer. In my opinion, it's good value when you are stuck at the hospital.

Love the SFGH Cafeteria! For hospital food, it is one of the best! Most affordable, nutritious, and…read moretasty meals you will find in San Francisco! For example, yesterday I had a cup of West African peanut soup with collard greens, sweet potatoes, and carrots, a cup of brown rice, and stir fry tofu with red and green bell peppers, onions, and broccoli for under $8. I had plenty of leftovers for two meals. Definitely hit this place up if you are visiting a friend or loved one in the hospital.

I recently had the chance to attend a special James Beard-related event at Saluhall, located inside…read morethe IKEA San Francisco building on Market Street, and it turned out to be such a fun and unexpected experience. I had actually never visited Saluhall before, so walking in for the event was my first impression of the space--and it's beautiful. The whole place has a modern Scandinavian feel with lots of warm wood tones, clean lines, and an open layout that makes it feel both stylish and welcoming. For the event, tables were set up throughout the space with different James Beard-recognized chefs and restaurants serving small bites, and it felt like walking through a tasting tour of incredible Bay Area talent. The room buzzed with energy, great food, and even a few familiar faces in the crowd. There were so many standout bites, but a few really stuck with me: From Kristina Costa -- Babka Bread pudding with labneh creme anglaise and citrus supremes, which was rich and comforting in the best way. From David and Serena Fisher -- a super creative porcini meringue with cold-pressed venison tartare with a spring onion veil bite....I may have had 4. From Sana Rival -- cashew dacquoise with chamomile white rum buttercream was just a flavor explosion and the best way to end the night. There were also amazing vendors pouring and sampling, but if I'm being completely honest... the caviar was one of my favorite bites of the entire night. Simple, elegant, and one of those moments where you just pause and enjoy the indulgence. Helpful tip: If Saluhall hosts ticketed events like this again, grab tickets early. The space works really well for tasting-style events and it's a great way to experience multiple Bay Area chefs in one place. Between the beautiful Scandinavian design, the incredible food, and the energy of a room full of chefs and food lovers, it was one of those nights where you walk out thinking, wow, that was special. And now I definitely want to come back and experience Saluhall on a normal day too.

I mean, I am stuck here until 3, and I had both breakfast and lunch here at this federal building…read morecafeteria, so I may as well write a review. Either that, or more youtube. The breakfast was not bad. They had an egg and cheese sandwich on their menu (no picture), and it was relatively inexpensive. When I asked is it scrambled, the cook said she could cook it anyway I wanted. She quickly scrambled some eggs, toasted the muffin, and breakfast was had. Simple, inexpensive, to the point....not bad. Lunch was a double cheeseburger. The same cooks, but now more of them due to the "lunch rush." Again, the cooks are very friendly. They are prompt, take special orders, and run it with the efficiency of a busy greasy spoon. The double cheeseburger was basic, I could say "nothing special," but again for a Federal Building cafeteria, the burgers actually tasted like.....beef (rare for quick service places, so credit on them). The fries were thinner (I prefer thick), but each order of fries is literally fried to order, so they were hot and crispy. Overall, the prices, considering we're in San Francisco and stranded here due to whatever brings us here, are fairly reasonable. The cashier at lunch ahd a little attitude, but the breakfast cashier was very sweet. If you are stranded here or don't want to go through the ID and x-ray check line again, then it is not bad for breakfast/lunch to hang around.

I wanted to love this innovative San Francisco restaurant - but I found myself in like, with a few…read moremoments of absolute love. The gimmick here is that the menu changes completely every few months, with new themes and immersive experiences. This was "Feast of Moss Woods," heavily featuring mushrooms (including a startlingly good opening sip of mushroom tea). Because of rain, we started at the bar, then moved to the main dining room (wonderful ambiance, where the theme comes alive), and wrapped up at desserts. I loved the food in the main dining room - the mushroom taco was a standout, along with a tamal and the chawanmushi - but the true standout was a tiny vegan burger (no way to describe it other than to just say it was mind-blowing). The desserts were served in the entry room, and those I was less impressed with. Service is pretty solid. I'd have given the place five stars, but the constantly-evolving menu means that some dishes just aren't fully formed yet. I am thrilled they do vegetarian nights and gluten-free nights, and I understand how difficult it is to accommodate dietary restrictions, but I ended up taking five lactaids during the meal, which is never ideal. Overall: wonderful experience, except the desserts.

SPOILER ALERT I wish…read moreI could give this 10 stars. That's how blown away I was. This was a surprise dinner, I walked in completely in the dark and somehow it just kept surprising me all night. It wasn't just dinner. It was a full on whimsical, immersive experience where every corner had something clever waiting for you. Our table looked like a forest exploded in the best possible way. Moss, little details everywhere, this elaborate fairy setup that had us literally "foraging" for parts of the meal. At one point a tiny fairy door opened and revealed a sweet treat to take home. I'm not kidding. It felt like being inside a storybook but with seriously good food and drink (I did the NA pairing, excellent). And the food? Every bite and every sip perfect. Everything beautifully curated and actually delicious, not just pretty for the gimmick. Sometimes immersive spots lean hard on the theme and forget the flavor. Not here. They nailed both. ~ $400 per person which is not small change. But this isn't a casual Saturday night out. It's a once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience. The kind you talk about for years. We caught the very last day of their mushroom theme and next up is Alice in Wonderland. If I can't make it back, I'll be stalking photos because I can only imagine how over-the-top they're going to take that concept. Highly, highly recommend. If you're on the fence, do it. Some dinners are meals. This one's a memory.

My salsiccia pizza was visually delicious and tasted even better! My pet peeve of a pizza is a soggy crust but this was thin and can uphold itself. I was amazed. Because it has decent amount of sauce and toppings. The tomato sauce they used tasted bright and fresh. I liked the addition of peppers with onions on top! Unfortunately I was too stuffed to try my friend's margherita pizza but she also found it really delicious!

They have only two hot entrees but often also two soups or stew. The first day I went they had a Guinness stew which both my daughters really liked.
