    Cheeseburger
    Robert M.

    Really satisfying burger in cool sports vibe location. Staff always friendly and pretty efficient. Kind of bummed burger comes with fries now instead of chips.

    California Benedict ($18), sub fruit for potatoes

    3.5 Stars The good: -This spot is located right on the embarcadero. If you sit on the patio you have gorgeous views of the bay and the bridge. -The prices are super fair - so hard to find in the city. The okay: -The food is, decent. I had the California Benedict ($18) with added bacon ($2). It was really good - my only nits are the eggs were not poached runny - the yolks were hard, and the avocado was also not ripe. The hollandaise was great though, and the portions were good as well. Service wasn't anything standout but was fine!

    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.

    If you're a fan of Yacht Rock and enjoy stiff drinks with skilled bartenders, Perry's on the Embarcadero in San Francisco is a must-visit. We stopped by for a quick drink while waiting for our ferry ride. We arrived just before the dinner crowd, around 4 p.m., and the restaurant was still relatively empty. The staff was incredibly accommodating and eager to assist us. Although we had just finished lunch, we couldn't resist having a drink in the bar. Our bartender was exceptionally friendly and personable, and his cocktails were fantastic. We were so captivated by him and our conversation that we almost missed our ferry. I'm already looking forward to returning to Perry's to try their food. The overall experience was truly pleasant, and I particularly enjoyed the yacht rock playlist that was playing throughout the restaurant. It perfectly complemented our cocktails. I highly recommend Perry's to anyone who appreciates Yacht Rock and wants to enjoy a great drink with a friendly bartender.

    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.
    Lisa X.

    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.

    Challah French Toast and the Eggs Benedict (ordered California Benedict but gave us the wrong one with ham instead)

    Went for Sunday brunch. The Challah French toast was yummy, and the potatoes that came with the California Benedict were really well-seasoned and cooked. The California Benedict itself sounds great with avocado, tomato, and spinach, but the kitchen messed up. First off, they brought us the wrong order--a benedict with ham and no spinach or avocado. Neither me nor my friend eat ham, and on top of that, the yolk was completely hard. We let the waiter know and they brought us a replacement. Unfortunately, the new California Benedict still had a hard yolk. When we pointed this out, the waiter told us the yolk is typically hard for their benedict and that we have to specify. Not only does a hard yolk completely defeat the point of eggs benedict, but we did specify when we re-ordered... By this point, we didn't want to send it back a second time because we were already tired of waiting. It was a busy time for the restaurant so the initial wait was long, and having to wait even longer because of their mistake just dragged the whole meal down. The waiter did hook us up with soda on the house because of the mess-up, which was a nice gesture, but the experience just wasn't worth it. Atmosphere is pretty nice with a view of the water, but don't come here for the food.

    Old fashioned
    Roxanna R.

    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.

    What a hip, chill relaxing restaurant. Very cozy on a chic…read moreboulevard. The staff very friendly. The French dip was delicious with excellent fresh fries. The chicken Parmesan was tasty, huge portions. I wish we had this type of restaurant vibe in our hood.

    TLDR: Super lively spot for dinner in the heart of North…read moreBeach. Portions are large and everything is great to share. Awesome spot for big groups and comfort food. Decor is more old school and it can get loud, so be prepared to shout over dinner. ------ FOOD 1. VEAL PARMIGIANA (4/5) Tender veal with a light breading that paired very well with the cheese and tomato sauce. Large portion that was easy to cut and share. Wish the edges were a tad crispier. Appreciated that it came with a side (we chose the ravioli). Wasn't life changing, but it was solid. 2. SPICY VODKA RIGATONI (4/5) Pasta was perfectly al dente. They poured a very healthy amount of sauce on the rigatoni such that the pasta was well coated and there were small pools of sauce in each piece of pasta. Sauce has a pretty strong kick to it. It's not overwhelming, but I think it was enough for me to only have a few pieces before I called it a night. 3. TRUFFLE FRIES (4/5) For the most part these are excellent. It's a mountain of very thin, crispy fries (what McDonald's dreams it could be). The truffle flavor is very prominent, and the two different sauces this comes with are excellent (one is a traditional mayo and the other was slightly sweet). However, some of those fries were so salty as to be inedible. Remember to drink lots of water. 4. BREAD SERVICE (3.5/5) Of course, hard to hate on a free bread service. They came out with a big basket of thick sourdough bread slices and a small butter keeper. Since the bread was room temp, it wasn't very special and it was tough to pull apart. But the flavor was there, and the softened butter was appreciated, despite the small butter portion relative to our bread portion. 5. JOE'S RAVIOLI (2.5/5) Unfortunately the only big let down of the night. The ravioli had so little filling that I actually could barely taste it even though I could see it. The outer layer of pasta was relatively thick too, so it overpowered what little filling there was. The ravioli also stuck to each other, so I ended up just biting through multiple pieces of ravioli at a time and scoping up tomato sauce from the container so that I could add flavor to the taste of the pasta dough. Large portion though! ------ ENVIRONMENT / AMBIANCE * Old-school decor featuring red leather booths, ornate wooden banisters, and lots of separate rooms throughout the restaurant. Lots of tables and always packed * Darker ambient mood lighting. Definitely more casual feeling than their sister Little Original Joe's location in the Marina * The restaurant is in the heart of North Beach right next to Washington Square Park, Tony's Pizza, and Flour + Water Pizzaria ------ SERVICE * You really need a reservation to dine here. You could probably walk in and get a seat by the kitchen in the back, but it's super crowded back there, waiters and customers are constantly weaving back and forth behind you, and it's overall not nearly as nice as sitting at a table (not always the case at restaurants!) * Our waiter was fine. He did the trick but wasn't particularly warm or helpful. Was attentive with filling our waters throughout the night

    This is definitely one of those hidden gem in SF when you're craving Italian. 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.

Pulled up and saw the Valet($18) sign. We know parking it hard to find in that area so we just parked. The sign is for American Bites and the restaurant next to it. Walked in which is totally hidden. I would have never known it was there. We are greater instantly and told to choose any seat. They have indoor and outdoor dining. We chose indoor. Looked over the menu and order a Tequila Sunrise with Don Julio Anejo. Quite tasty Went for the clam chowder appetizer... definitely 5 stars. Flavorful and creamy. I would come back just for that. Daughter ordered the Seafood Linguini with a cream sauce. The waiter kinda questioned it but made it anyway.. They added Parmesan cheese and cracked black pepper at the table. Everything came with a nice crusty bread I order the Ciopinno!! It was one of the best I ever had.. Added Parmesan and cracked pepper of course. Everything was 5star including the service we received. Left there and recommended the place to several friends.. I'll be back soon.
