    Pan Roasted Salmon at Heritage Restaurant & Bar in San Francisco.
    Jason F.

    There is something comforting and local when dining at Heritage Restaurant & Bar. Located on a busy section of Clement Street in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, Heritage Restaurant & Bar has been around for this close to a decade taking over from the Clement Street Bar & Grill. A slightly elevated interior that still resembled the interior of a boat, complete with wooden booths, an elevated bar area, and a private dining area that is open for the rest of the restaurant to see and hear from, Heritage Restaurant & Bar is the brainchild of owner an chef Cameron Lewark, who took his experience working for celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck in his restaurants in both Southern California and Hawaii into his own local establishment where singles and families alike can enjoy a nice drink or hearty meal. It was the latter that brought me and two friends here on a cold autumn evening, as Heritage Restaurant & Bar was participating in San Francisco Restaurant Week for fall of 2025, where local restaurants offer multi-course pre-fix menu items sold at affordable prices, in this case Heritage Restaurant & Bar was offering a four-course meal for 45 dollars a diner. With this many courses being sold at such an affordable price point, we were sold on visiting Heritage Restaurant & Bar for the very first time. Online reservations were easy to make, which wasn't necessarily needed as there was no host to greet us to or check if we had reservations, as their bartender instructed us to find an open table, in this case a booth, to sit at. Our booth would be inundated from the sounds from the private party dining in their not so private room, as a large party was clearly enjoying themselves with a night of merriment. It would take a considerable amount of time for our server to even make an appearance at our table as our table of three chalked it up to having so few employees on staff, as exemplified by the lack of a host upon our initial arrival. Thankfully their regular menu had their San Francisco Restaurant Week menu encompassed within in and they were already placed on each table. The pre-fixe San Francisco Restaurant Week menu had four courses with a salad, soup and dessert course with the option to choose from three courses for our entrée. Our first course was their Romaine Salad with Creamy Lemon Dressing which was served with pickled red onions, cherry tomatoes, sour dough croutons and topped with a creamy lemon Caesar dressing. Our second course was their Creamy Kabocha Pumpkin Soup which was a combination of sweet onions, cinnamon, clove, agave, and topped with cardamom honey cream. For our entrée, we had three options and I selected their Grilled New York Strip Steak which was served on a bed of bleu cheese mashed potatoes with baby turnips and celery root topped with bourbon mustard pepper corn sauce. Another diner in our party ordered their Pan Roasted Salmon which was served with butter nut squash, pearl onions, garlic spinach, Nueske's bacon, fingerling potatoes, and topped with fall spices and brown-butter white wine sauce. For our dessert course, we enjoyed their Chocolate Chip Banana Bread which was served with a half slice of a brown sugar caramelized banana and cinnamon spiced milk chocolate ganache. Of our vast meal, the first two courses were the best, as the salad and soup were so lovingly prepared it actually surprised all three of us diners. The salad was a nice combination of flavors that if it was a bigger salad, that would have been a big enough meal for me to enjoy. Their soup, although on the smaller side, was delicious combination of flavors and perfect for a chilly autumn evening. Then our entrées would be delivered to our table, and our steak entrée was beautifully plated in true California cuisine style, as perhaps we were expecting something a little more hearty. The bleu cheese in the mashed potatoes was a little overbearing but the sliced steak was nicely prepared if a little on the lukewarm side. Our dessert course too was beautifully plated and the star of this particular meal was their caramelized banana which blended so well with the small slice of banana bread. Obviously our total bill was on the more affordable side with 135 dollars before gratuity and tax were included as the meal was priced under their San Francisco Restaurant Week prices. Although they do have some service issues, as we were never acknowledged even as we left, I would still return to Heritage Restaurant & Bar for the affordability alone as no dish was over 39 dollars including our Grilled New York Strip Steak. At Heritage Restaurant & Bar they are serving quality dishes plated with a California cuisine sensibility, and in an area of the city where this entire aesthetic is sorely lacking, they are a welcome addition that hopefully will last as long as its predecessor.

    Garlic Fries
    Alex L.

    Great place to watch in the outer Richmond. The variety of food on the menu was great. There's service was ok as it seem like there was 1 waiter for the entire place that also works the bar. But they do check in on you. Got the steak as they said that was a popular item and it was worth it. The meat was tender and cooked to perfection with its veggies. The garlic fries were excellent and flavorful and crispy. The mocktail was eh was not a fan. I would come back for the entrees and appetizers as they were delicious and good portions to leave you full. The plating of the steak was great.

    Fried Brussels Sprouts with lemon aioli
    Al L.

    I remember this dining at this location when it was the Clement St Bar & Grill. A friend was hosting his birthday dinner and I was looking forward to dining at Heritage, which is the current restaurant at the location. Reviewing Yelp reviews and the current menu online, I had an idea what I was going to order. Our party of 12 was sat in a private room in the back left but since it had glass walls, it did not feel secluded since you could still see into the dining room. We perused the menu and I noticed that it was an updated from the online menu and the menu posted by the entry. I was happy with this menu. Our host ordered appetizers for the table, which consisted of: Sweet Corn "Ribs" with chili aioli, powdered fermented hot sauce and cotija cheese. This corn was cut into wedges or "ribs" lengthwise. This was their take on Mexican street corn. You take a rib and bite of the kernels. Corn was sweet and I love the salty tangy cotija cheese. Garlic Fries with confit garlic, paprika and parsley with ketchup on the side. Nicely seasoned medium sized fries. Fried Brussels Sprouts with Lemon Aioli. Fried crispy, but didn't care for the lemon aioli. Corn Bread with raspberry butter and Meyer lemon honey strips. Bread came out warm so I spread the raspberry butter over the top to lead it melt onto it and cut the bread into slices. Corn bread was moist and the slightly tart butter was a nice complement. I was so happy when I saw the Heritage Pork Chop was on the menu after reading Yelpers review on it and hearing our waiter saying it was his favorite entrée. Yes, I was glad I ordered it as the tender and moist pork chop came with herb polenta, green beans, sweet soy, plum wine reduction and apricot chutney. I would order this again. So entrees ordered by others around me were the Prime Beef Bolognese, Grilled Top Sirloin and the large Bone-In Ribeye for Two. They were all happy with their entrees. Our two birthday honorees were served Heritage Milk and Cookies with a birthday candle. Nice gesture. Our server did a great job being the only person waiting on us, from taking the orders, bringing the food, clearing the plates and serving the two desserts. Glad I was able to try Heritage. The food was delicious and service was friendly. I will be back again. A neighborhood gem.

    Some friends picked this neighborhood restaurant and bar to celebrate their joint birthdays on an early Saturday evening. My friend made a reservation a week or so in advance so we had a private room in the rear left corner of the restaurant. Our party of thirteen was seated on a long table with one of the guest of honors seated at the head of the table. After getting our menus and some discussion, we ordered our meals after the host put in several starters to share. Here's what I tried: Appetizers, all shared 1. Sweet corn "ribs" (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=x925uBxX9UE9oZhcI3GeDQ) - 1st of the season sweet corn, chili aioli, powdered fermented hot sauce, cojita cheese. Perfect seasonal ingredient with corn in full bloom. It was tasty and sweet but difficult to eat as the "ribs" were on the long side. I used my knife to saw the cob into smaller portions to make them easier to eat. 2. Garlic fries (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=EafEVQXtXcc9wb-3jU3tuw) - confit garlic, paprika, onion, parsley. These were tasty and still warm as I dipped them in the provided ketchup, medium cuts. 3. Fried Brussels w/ apricot sauce (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=tb5UIqE7n-l32l3ZSofpMg) - onion powder, garlic powder, paprika. Though cooked well, the flavors didn't shine here as the seasonings were light. 4. Corn bread with raspberry butter and Meyer lemon honey (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=tqcAY-3R0XqBdRPAsWu6VA) - One of the hosts sliced those for us to share. Not reading the menu description, I neglected to dip it in the lemon honey. I spend a little of the raspberry butter but again the raspberry flavor was slight so I couldn't identify it. Individual starter 5. Summer tomato soup (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=5jM1YTKjQd1BrV1s79m6mg) - basil olive oil, black pepper, parmigiano reggiano. This is one of several seasonal menu items that I enjoyed on a typical foggy Richmond District evening. Served warm, the bowl is a generous portion. I enjoyed the mix of textures and flavors as they were obvious here and meshed well with the in season vibrant tomato flavor. Main, shared 6. Bone in ribeye for two, medium rare (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=oFbzPUdaU1QpWG26O3AqIQ) - Bacon-blue cheese layered potato, garden asparagus, bourbon mustard sauce. I apportioned half on my share dish (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=RL798PMKDcqOaSJ1NYQx2w) for my main meal. The beef was cooked to the requested wellness and the flavor has a sweet meat flavor. Not being a blue cheese fan, I found the potato okay. The asparagus was sliced into small spears, tender but lacked the crunch that I usually expect from asparagus. I dipped a few bites into the bourbon mustard sauce but the flavors were not easily identified by my taste buds. Desserts 7. Heritage milk & cookies - chocolate chip cookies, Tahitian vanilla milk. Sorry, no photos as they were presented to both of the birthday recipients. The cookies were warm and the chocolate oozing from the cookie as we picked chunks to munch on. The dining area is in the center, between our private room and the bar, guessing about 4-5 tables. Our waiter Christopher was helpful and friendly in providing recommendations. It seemed a bit difficult for him to handle our dinner party on his own as he served all of our food alone and refilled our table glass water bottles when requested as removing our bowls and plates. There was a minor technical problem when serving the two desserts with birthday candles but otherwise everything went smoothly. One of the hosts commented that it is too bad that they don't serve lunch but, given the dining climate and their likely image of being more of a bat than restaurant, I understand why. Thank you, Chris, especially for your recommendation of the grilled pork chop. After trying a few bites of my friend's (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=TmZ_YPlAlHCwlU0uoPCL1Q), I would get that if it's available next visit. *** Credit to Al L. (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8qpFUPR1wd3uz8N1QaWj_A&select=gGHeWkFZfIJUEL7qkzkoCg) for sharing his photo of the menu here for this meal as I forgot to take a photo of it.

    Margarita
    Xochi A.

    I was looking for a place to drop in an grab a quick drink and bite before my daughter's game. I came in shortly after opening, was greeted and seated well. I ordered a margarita and it was good. The burger I had cooked medium and it was perfect, the bun was perfect. The we're having a kid friendly night which I thought was a great option for people and had a section off in the back that seemed designated. The bartenders were friendly.

    Yulfo L.

    The ambiance was great! I bet at night it would look sexy. There's a private room of tables for a private party and full bar. The food had a twist of Indonesian which sparked me! The owner is so kind and have excellent service made us feel at home. The food is top notch! I am coming back to try more! These chefs have a pallet like no other. Nice play with flavors!

    Mailards special
    Taesung K.

    Came to this place around 5:20 on a Tuesday during the Mailards pop up (every Tuesday 5-9!) the line was probably about 7 people ahead of me at the time, but by the time I got seated there was a line out the door! The line for Mailards is separate for just sitting at the bar. On Tuesday nights only food from Mailards is pumping out of their kitchen too. Anyway, it was $13 for this special Thai curry smash burger and maybe I was just out of this world, but this burger is probably easily the best burger I've had in sf. The crispy shallots along with the Thai curry sauce was such a good touch to their double burger. The fries are fried in beef tallow and cost an extra $5, but this was a lot of food and I couldn't finish even half the fries. Big fan of this burger!

    GRILLED NEW YORK STRIP STEAK
    Sara W.

    Came here for SF restaurant week and was not disappointed. The salad was amazing, reminded me of a Cesar but with a bit of a different flare. The second course was the soup which tasted like fall in a cup. Amazing! The third course was what my optional choice was- naturally chose the steak. The staff was super attentive and even got to meet the owner/head chef Cameron who was so kind enough to share a recipe with us. Topped off the meal with chocolate chip banana bread. All for $45 a person. Do yourself a favor and GO NOW!

    Offensive sign
    Nola M.

    Last time we were at Heritage, we came in and saw this sign. We found it incredibly offensive due to the fact that it's a blatant racial stereotype. I don't know whose idea it was to make that sign but we did not find it funny at all. It's really upsetting that management approved this sign.

    Amy W.

    The bartenders are rude and ignore you even at a half empty bar. Then they come back bc they forgot your order. DO come here for the Tuesday Pop up of Maillards burgers.

    Came here for dinner with family and didn't order drinks as I was on a diet. Despite it being a bar, it has more of classy family friendly restaurant vibe with bar service. I saw other families with small children eating and even playing in a mock play area. Also had couples just chatting and enjoying their meals. Service was quick and friendly. We opted for family style to share and they pulled it off without a hitch. I ordered two appetizers followed by three entrees. Steaks, roast salmon and a pasta dish. All were flavorful and had unique and interesting sides. I thought every thing tasted perfect but the rest of my party thought it was a touch too salty so keep that in mind.

    The craft cocktails are fantastic and designed to mimmic Asian dishes…read more Korean Cold Noodles ($19) Probably the most unique cocktail, and equally as delicious. Pandan Vieux Carré ($22) By far my favorite cocktail of the night - very well balanced, spirit forward but also bright and silky. A5 Wagyu & Black Truffle Old Fashioned ($25) This was also fantastic, rich and buttery old fashioned with truffle accents. The A5 Wagyu is sourced from the Niku Steakhouse local butcher shop! Ube Cheesecake ($19) Wonderful dessert cocktail to finish the night. We didn't have time to try the Escape Room connected to the Speakeasy, but we'll be back! There are two rooms, one in the front with a puzzle theme, and another in the back with a Middle Earth (Lord of the Rings) vibe. Staff was friendly and took time to explain the clever menu to us!

    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.

I was craving a refreshing craft cocktail and got one with the Green Emmanuelle. I liked the cardamom in the Beauty Mark as well that my partner ordered. We ordered shishito peppers and mushroom bahn mi sliders. The mushroom bahn mi sliders were amazing - the quality fillings and taste of the soft bun - I was unexpectedly hit with a bite of spice from maybe jalapeño seeds left but didn't sour my experience. 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.

    The food is very good - we've been here twice and had great food all around…read more Our first visit we had some trouble with the service, feeling rushed thru for what is a pretty expensive dinner, but the team there contacted us after (we had a reservation so they had our email) and they made it right by inviting us back as guest of Rob, the Bev Mgr. The 2nd visit the service was impeccable, everything went exactly as we had hoped. We will be back. We can recommend the scallops and the Salmon, the chicken was very tasty. Also, for the food, I recommend the dips and the fresh pitas, so good. We'll be back just for that. Reminds me of the old Berkeley restaurant years ago, Holy Land (IYKYK). Mmmm. Thanks!

    We each ordered the sunrise sandwich - one with bacon and one with sausage. The sausage was super…read morethin and dry. The bacon was fine. The sandwich comes with a small dressed salad and three tomato halves. It was nice. The potatoes served with the sandwich were roasted but served cold and dry. Like they were left over from the night before. Randy enjoyed his mocha. We shared a very dry, flavorless except for the two small bits of jam in them, "cheese" danish. Definitely skip this $7 item that you could get at a circle k for $1.50 and it would taste fresher. You order when you walk in and someone delivers your order and then you're left to fend for yourself. We were able to locate some ketchup for the potatoes on our own. Nobody ever checked on us. This is the second place on this visit that's charging an extra 5% fee so that their employees can have a living wage and health insurance, which absolutely, every employee should have. With the prices they charge, they should already be able to do that, though. I read an article about this fee with many different names and I would rather pay a bit higher of a price and know the employees were taken care of than be surprised by this fee later. Two sandwich breakfasts, a mocha and a danish on top of tax and their healthy sf fee was $63. Steep for the quality we got. Won't be back.

They play Cuban music that immediately gets everyone in the mood, and you can tell it's a spot people genuinely love coming back to. Heads up though: it's a small space, so it can get pretty packed. Only downside was the drink service was slow, especially with how busy it gets. We were patient because the drinks themselves were great once they arrived; well worth the wait, just budget extra time if you're in a group. Perfect spot for a celebration with friends if you don't mind a cozy, lively crowd and don't need drinks in a hurry. We had such a great night!

    My family and I recently visited Cavaña in SF on Sunday 6/21 at 5:30pm, expecting to enjoy what we…read moreunderstood to be a rooftop restaurant and bar. Unfortunately, our experience started off on the wrong foot before we even made it upstairs. When we arrived, the doorman, a tall, heavyset gentleman, was eating and did not acknowledge us as we approached. I politely asked if the restaurant was open, and instead of simply answering the question, he responded that it wasn't a restaurant but a rooftop bar, adding, "I don't know where you got that misconception." I found the comment unnecessarily dismissive and somewhat condescending. As an educated woman visiting with my husband and our minor daughter, I felt there were more professional ways to clarify the venue's concept. Rather than engage further, I chose to ignore the remark. He then pointed us toward the line, despite there being no one else waiting, and pressed the elevator button with an attitude that made us feel like we were inconveniencing him simply by being there. First impressions matter, and unfortunately this interaction left us feeling unwelcome before we even had the opportunity to experience the venue itself. Hospitality begins at the door, and I hope management provides additional customer service training to ensure future guests are greeted with courtesy and respect.

I went in before the game the place was somewhat Vibing they had a balcony, fireplace, different seating areas and a bar, and they serve food. It wasn't that busy so the bartender came right over. I think his name was Dominic and he got me an IPA. The first time I went I also tried the deviled eggs (3) and they were cool. I have to say my buddies tried the chips and salsa so it came with some guac salsa and a bowl of chips. It was pretty good too. a , but after the game we came back in the place was still a vibe. It was cool and we are went back a few days later for another game with another buddy and sure enough it was cool this time I had a margarita and the expert Cadillac and he floated something like some triple sec in it and when we inquired about the Grand Marnier with him, he got a little attitude although the female bartender said that when she made Cadillac margaritas, she used grandma Marnie, so that was interesting but other than that, I would recommend a spot.

My martini ($13) was really good, I especially loved the olives they use here. I like the lounge style seating, there were couches, nooks, and chairs arranged in a very comfortable fashion. There were a decent amount of people inside for a Thursday night, mostly small groups of friends or people on dates. It's a really nice atmosphere, very relaxed and inviting to hangout in. Everyone in the bar was weirdly attractive and dressed well for San Francisco and that added to the vibes for sure too lol. Friendly bartender and good cocktail menu, they also have a kitchen for small bites. I am definitely coming back!

After a park day at the Presidio, we wanted to move the party and we decided on Bar Darling. It was a Saturday afternoon and it was jam packed. Luckily we were able to get some space in the alley way for us to order drinks from our server. We've been on a Friday around 5pm on another day, it wasn't as busy, so definitely a great place to start and maybe end the night. In a time where craft cocktails have gotten really expensive, Bar Darling offers craft cocktails (their signature cocktails) all for $14 each. If you know Peacekeeper, you know there's a lot of thought and imagination that goes into their drinks and it definitely shows here. My favorites were the Mama J (tequila based) and the Jaji (mezcal based). The aesthetic and vibes of this place is 10/10. Definitely great for a group of friends and/or date night!

    Wanted to love it, really did, but I found the drinks underwhelming. Given the smashing success and…read moremy love for Peacekeeper, I had high expectations for Bar Darling and they sadly weren't lived up to. Drinks had almost a "watered down" flavor to them, not sure if the bartender was just having an off night or if they got too busy to maintain standards or what happened, but it wasn't a good beverage and certainly not worth the price. Even at 7pm it was packed and could definitely tell people had been there for awhile as there were multiple 20 something year old guys and gals stumbling around, so I guess they found the drinks to their liking (or more likely had so many they really couldn't ascertain the difference). Better drinks and better crowd control and Darling will be just fine. But as I mentioned, they were already packed stem to stern at 7pm so my guess is they're doing just fine already.
