    Went for brunch last Sunday with my family and a friend of us! Nothing really stood out, but it's a nice place close to Embarcadero for taking a walk after the brunch! It's also good they have a kids menu.

    Classic Caesar Salad and Side of Sweet Potato Fries
    Shannon P.

    Solid meal, great staff, easy parking/transit drink BART or Muni, relaxed ambience. This was a perfect meeting place for friends on a Sunday night as I live in SF but friends live in East Bay. Everything was great. All their other sandwiches and salads looked great. I didn't see any other main entrees ordered. Would recommend- this is an easy crowd pleaser place for families or picky eaters.

    I was in SF on a short trip. I thought I would give this place a try. I give the food 5 out of 5. I ordered the pot roast with mashed and brocolli w/ carrots. And the cornbread was sweet and tasty. I would have given 5 stars but service was really slow. I took over 25 minutes to have someone bring me water and take my order. Once the order was taken my food came out pretty fast but it just took so long for someone to take my order. I thought they forgot about me. I will be dining there again on future trips, because I really liked my meal. The ambiance of the place was also pleasant.

    Beautiful views, great service and good drinks. It's a more affordable place to dine around the area and the outside seating section faces the bridge. Definitely give it a try.

    After a carby lunch in Union Square and a 10k step walk around the area, a college buddy and I decided to grab....more carbs at Perry's. This time around it would be beers. The Dodgers were in town and the joint was filled with a few fans. My animosity toward the team from SoCal has waned over the decades. Yet, I still wanted to yell at fans, "Take off that hat!!!!". Just kidding. On the upside it was a classy joint and the service was good. Plus, the beers were cold. What more could a couple of old, ugly guys ask for. A tip of the cap to our server who quickly cleaned up a spilled beer when my buddy accident knocked over his half-filled pint glass. Add bonus, the server refilled the glass free-of-charge. Was that heaven or what? I think I found a new watering hole in the City. Perry's made us merry. Now for the pic.

    Perry's was a nice respite by the embarcadero, but there's not much else around, and their prices reflect that. Simply, it underwhelmed. I got a Manhattan, and a cheese quesadilla, while The Wife had the Mac and cheese and grilled artichoke. All of it tasted fine. But for the money, we could have had something more substantial and enjoyable somewhere else, and should have looked around a bit more. It's a heck of a setting though.

    Perry's on the Embarcadero is a waterfront extension of the original Perry's, which opened in 1969 on Union Street in San Francisco. Founded by Perry Butler, it aimed to bring the feel of New York's East Side bars and grills to the city. The Embarcadero location at 155 Steuart Street opened in November 2008 and offers classic American dishes. The setting features exposed brick walls and views of the Bay Bridge. As I mentioned in my original review a few years ago, this location is conveniently situated near my workplace, making it an ideal option for lunch, after-work drinks with friends and colleagues, or special occasions like farewell parties for departing coworkers. On this occasion, we gathered to bid farewell to a retiring colleague. We were set up at a great spot in the corner on Steuart Street that accommodated about thirty of us. We enjoyed a beer or two along with some delicious small bites. The service was excellent, as it always is at Perry's, and we all had a wonderful time. If you're looking to catch a game, I recommend sitting at the bar. There are a couple of large TVs that provide a good viewing experience, and the bartenders are always attentive, ensuring great service. On nice days, you might prefer sitting outside on the Embarcadero side. Otherwise, the dining area has plenty of comfortable tables that can accommodate groups of two to four people, and larger groups can make reservations in advance. The food is consistently good and made with fresh ingredients. I have always enjoyed my lunches at the bar while watching live soccer matches on TV.

    Grilled Artichoke - I didn't eat this but my other lunch companion said it was ok.

    Been here a few times. Most recently had lunch here with my former boss & colleagues. We enjoyed some standard American fare, great conversation and glad for an opportunity to catch up here. The food itself is kinda mid but the location is good. Right near the water. Also easy access to BART for folks living in the East Bay. Service was decent. Located on Steuart between Mission & Howard.

    The service was amazing by SEAN! He makes the best drinks, and they also look as beautiful as his bubbly personality! Perfect spot to come to after a giants game with the fans

    First time visiting. Lucky we found parting on the street. Made reservations but wasn't full. After we ordered our food it started getting packed. Service was great! Old fashioned was ok. Potato skins were great. Food was good. Our food took awhile it came out nice and hot. Restaurant was very nice. Spacious and nice bar. Warning bathroom is downstairs and I didn't see an elevator in case stairs are your enemy like me. I had to go down slowly. Check it out. Views are beautiful.

    French Onion Soup
    Julie B.

    I made reservations a couple months back for our first dinner in SF. Although it's a casual place, based on my research, it seemed like a popular neighborhood and tourist spot and I knew after driving up from OC we didn't want to wait to eat on a busy Friday evening. Upon arrival, it didn't seem too crowded. Busy but there were still plenty of open tables and spots at the bar. I initially requested patio seating but my husband and son didn't want to be outside as it was slightly balmy. We were seated close to the windows instead to enjoy the view of the Bay Bridge. We ordered the following: - French Onion Soup: very good. Nice and cheesy, could use maybe some more bread underneath but it was solid. - Buffalo Wings: these come sauced and were really tasty! Still had a nice crunch and bite to it even though they were very saucy. - Fish & Chips: great batter on the fish, which was very meaty and flaky. Standard fries, forgettable coleslaw (does anyone even eat the coleslaw?) - Chicken BLTA: husband said this was fine. Tastes as expected! - Kids' Chicken Tenders: not sure if these are the same tenders on the regular menu but my son ate it all up and had no complaints. - Apple Brown Betty: this was a cinnamon apple crumble pie w/ vanilla ice cream on top. Very rich and delicious! - Strawberry Cake: this was literally the same cake you can get at Ralph's/Safeway, etc. They must all get it from the same supplier! Still good but def not made in-house. Total for dinner (including 3 glasses of wine, a Shirley Temple, a coffee, and tax/tip) was $205. Service was very good. Our server came by often enough and was always pleasant. Note - we entered the restaurant through the Hotel Griffon on Steuart Street. I think there might be an entrance on the Embarcadero side, too.

    This is an amazing place to relax and have a good time. Great food and drinks. I will definitely come back here.

    We are a party of 4 for a quick dinner meet up in San Francisco. Great food with reasonable prices. I ordered the delicious daily special of blackened shrimp over a bed of risotto. The spaghetti and meat balls were a very generous serving. The meatballs were soft and lots of spices so very flavorful. It included a big slice of garlic bread. The 2 sandwiches were prepared properly and arrived hot. This is a very reasonable priced restaurant and located directly across the street from ferry terminal. It was a 5 minute walk if you have to catch the ferry back. We came here on a Tuesday night and not too crowded. I did note there is outdoor seating and this would be a great place to have breakfast on a sunny day in SF.

What originally started as a disappointment became a huge blessing once we found the board room. Feet aching, sweaty, and tired we made our way to this bar. Immediately you could tell it's a local favorite, the ambiance was nice and a great spot to people-watch. There was a cup flipping event which was super fun to spectate, along side the rotating pictures of the bar's beloved pooches . We ordered 2 western burgers, 12 count bone-in wings (half bbq, half Hawaiian), and an appetizer of corn dogs, tater tots, bacon Mac & cheese bites, and mozzarella sticks. Later we also added boneless buffalo wings which were so tangy, well-seasoned, and HOT. The western bacon burgers were so delicious, crispy bacon, crispy onion rings, and some bomb.com bbq sauce. The wings were drowned in sauce (just how we like them) , the bbq was to die for and the Hawaiian had the perfect little kick of spice for our picky eaters. The appetizer platter was also fried to perfection, with the perfect crunch on the tater tots & corn dogs. The Mac & cheese bites & mozzarella sticks were perfectly cheesed, with an amazing cheese pull on the mozzarella sticks. Along with the food, my boyfriend and I ordered some drinks. I got a margarita and he got a Guinness. Both drinks were good, very standard and well served. The couple behind the bar were very funny and super kind to us being dazed after all the walking.

Located in North…read moreBeach area with the entrance hiding in a small alley, the restaurant is bigger than we thought with both indoors & outdoors seating. The outdoor patio is definitely a blast for a summer day in SF, also converting to a free Tango class at 6:30 on Wednesday evening. We started with some special drinks as recommended by Ali, the most generous guy you've ever met. We got Japanese Artisan Gin Pomegranate Mint Martini and AB's Espresso Martini. They were so refreshing after we had to walk on some hills in 80degree weather in SF. After that, the appetizers we ordered came out with Caprese Salad & Mahmoud's Delicious Pork Ribs. The portion was huge for just appetizer. It's been a while for me to have that crispy baguette toasted with olive oil & vinegar, nothing could be better than that. The ribs were tender, the bonus point was definitely the sauce as it wasn't too sweet like the other places. You can't miss pizza in an Italian restaurant, so we ordered my favorite Crispy Prosciutto De Parma, Poached Pear. Prosciutto is my love so I'll just order it wherever I go if they have it on the menu. Super crispy, even though it's not as thin as I expected, I'd still order it again when we come back. It's served with a bowl of cheese powder and chili flakes so you can customize your pizza. The main entrees were definitely pasta and we just had our eyes bigger than our stomach. If you don't know what to order, ask Ali and he'll be more than happy to help you with all the recommendations, and even offer some alternatives for your pasta when the restaurant is not too crowded. My favorite was Pasta Dellacasa with Prawns added, mixing of all the sauces they have. It was so rich and I felt like no other pasta we had can be compared. They serve it hot and you can ask for as much cheese as you want for your pasta because they make it at the table for you. The place was really cool since the building was built over 100 years ago. Even the trees we were sitting next to are over 100 years old, which is pretty cool. You can even find the menu when the original place just opened, with pasta price ranged from $2-3.

Chief Sullivan's also the official Notre Dame Fighting Irish Supporters Club in SF. So join them for game day! See you there!

    randomly found this spot. was craving a burger and saw the chicken sandwich on the menu…read more started with n/a passionfruit drink (cool kids menu). SO so good. loved it. truly felt like a cool kid. the coconut mojito mocktail was also pretty good. for starter, got the crispy paella balls. they were pretty good. id get them again. for main, got the spanish fried chicken sandwich. I wasn't a fan of how the chicken itself was cooked. not like a regular chicken breast. not sure if it was dark or light meat. but flavors themselves were good. ambiance was really nice. they had indoor and outdoor seating. the service was also quick.

    This is a beautiful european restaurant full of color and character, and fairly busy on a Friday…read moreevening. Glad we made a reservation, as I heard the host tell another couple it would be a one hour wait. We were offered our choice of seating and opted for the heated patio which was covered and enclosed and in close proximity to the live music happening outside the venue. The band was talented and entertaining, performing funk and soul, including songs like Ain't No Sunshine (when she's gone) and Lovely Day. Awesome sounds on the trombone, keyboard, bass, guitar, and vocals, courtesy of Daryl Savage Music. The restaurant offers a nice variety of delicious tapas on their menu. We got the arugula salad, crispy paella balls, risotto funghi porchini, albondigas (beef & pork meatballs) which came with toasted baguette slices, and two glasses of sangria (red and white). The beverages were delightful and topped off with plenty of fresh fruit. Each of the dishes were amazing and made with quality ingredients we could really taste. I especially enjoyed the paella balls and risotto. Wow, such distinct flavors that had me addicted. Plating was lovely as well. Also, staff was attentive and professional, and we were pleased with the service we received here. The place is ideal for date night for sure, the setting offering a nice balance of casual and upscale.

    Must try if you are at the SF VERY VERY RECOMMEND…read moreI'm not the seafood person but I had the very good time with this place. Must try this place

    This place bills itself as having the best cioppino you've ever had, and it was literally the best…read morecioppino I've ever had (and I order cioppino a lot and even make my own!). Tucked into a row of tiny restaurants on a bustling street in Little Italy, I felt I was stepping into a restaurant in NYC. There's a long counter in the narrow space and a row of two-tops that servers can barely squeeze through until you get toward the back where there are a few four-top tables. The menu is only a single page, but I can't imagine you'd go wrong with any selection. In addition to the cioppino, we ordered the pasta diavalo with half of a crab and it was also delicious. Note: you do need to crack the crab yourself which is a little messy, but the portions were large and the crab was already notched so it wasn't difficult. We all ordered wine-- I tried the chianti for $12/glass and, omg, what a pour! Nothing to complain about there either. This is not a place where you're going to have an intimate conversation, but if you're looking for an energetic vibe, excellent seafood, pasta, and cioppino, and good service, you will not be disappointed. Make a reservation though! When we arrived for our reservation, they were quoting a 1 hour wait.
