    Chai earl grey gin cocktail
    Celia K.

    Trekked all the way to SFO to have dinner with my mom and it was worth it! I didn't realize the hotel at SFO had such a good restaurant! It was pretty pricey but food was good, i don't know if it was worth the price though. The sushi was actually so creamy and delish though

    The restaurant, located on the 3rd floor of Grand Hyatt SFO, is lovely designed and a great place for plane spotting at the International Terminal. We had dinner here a couple times, and on a recent stay we decided to skip the free food in Regency Club and dine here. Well same as before, food is fine, sushi is fresh, service is great, but price is high. Nothing really wrong with it, but going forward I think I would prefer to eat dinner at the bar upstairs on 4th floor, their all day menu is more appealing and price is definitely better. Breakfast however is absolutely wonderful and more reasonable. We had a great breakfast before taking a long flight out of International Terminal. Grand Hyatt SFO is the best airport hotel in the US in my opinion. We frequented often and will definitely be back here again for the wonderful breakfast.

    The house bread. Yummy

    Located in the Grand Hyatt at SFO this is their main dining room. There's also a bar/pub and 24 hour grab and go upstairs. This restaurant is very nicely appointed and comfortable. It doesn't feel stodgy, but still upscale. The menu isn't broad but has enough to satisfy most palates, with an emphasis on Asian fusion. They have a variety of sushi available as well. The drink menu is on a tablet to peruse. I decided on a 'woke dish' from the menu, the Shrimp Fried Rice. It was a nice portion with a mild taste, even with jalapeño (which seemed skimpy at best. I found one slice.) The shrimp were tasty and grilled nicely. We were offered complimentary house bread which was good. I washed it down with a 9oz Sauvignon Blanc. Service was top notch and attentive The bowls they use are earthenware and beautiful. It was a good meal. Pricey at $135 for two with tip but definitely good value.

    Level 3 of the Grand Hyatt. This was a nice place to unwind for the evening. Service excellent and not rushed. Small by the glass wine list. Hokkaido scallops were tasty, albeit too much diced bacon in it which overpowered all the other ingredients on the plate. They had 4-5 salads and pasta and meats on the menu. Would return!

    Fantastic place for dinner and breakfast. We stayed overnight at the Grand Hyatt SFO for a staycation and enjoyed two meals here. The crab cakes are really delicious and I enjoyed the tuna poke presentation with the glass top being removed at the table. Kid friendly is a plus as well as excellent and attentive service in a beautiful space. We went back for breakfast this morning and ordered 4 entrees. The only disappointing one was the avocado toast - we didn't like the mustard tang or lettuce on the toast. The eggs Benedict with crab cakes were yummy as was the breakfast sandwich made with French toast. The bagel for the salmon was okay, but everything else was really delicious. Appreciated our server's attentiveness and stellar service. Will definitely be back!

    My friend and I came here for a birthday celebration! Now you're wondering, out of all the places to eat in the Bay, why would I go to the the airport? Well this isn't located in the airport, it's located the Grand Hyatt at SFO. The best way to get here is just drive and they have valet parking for just 10.00 , as the restaurant has the three hour validation. You can pay in cash or by card. The restaurant is located on the third floor and you get views of the south side of the airport. You can easily make your reservation online using RESY. The host gave us a table by the window which was amazing because I love planes and I felt so close to the planes. The menu is on the table so make sure you see all their categories and pages. It ranges from sushi to full course meals. My friend and I opted to get the Thai crab cakes. Ahi tuna, ginger miso carrot soup, pan seared scallops and miso black cod. Our appetizers came out first and here are my thoughts Thai crab cakes 5/5 - stuffed with a lot of crab and the batter wasn't too thick. This was tasty Ginger Miso carrot soup- 3/5- a little bit spicy, it came with a cracker but the cracker was like a shrimp chop and was too oily Ahi tuna -4/5 - good but the chips were a little oily as well but it's good they made it in house Main course -seared scallops - 5/5 - cooked to perfection! This was cooked so well and the edges were gave it's crisp . Miso cod 5/5- this was so fresh and tender. I loved how they made this as it melted ok your mouth. The black rice that it came with was ok, I felt that it didn't need rice or maybe they can give me less if it. The cause paired really well with this Dessert - since it was my friends bday we got the yuzu coconut panna cotta. This was very fragrant and smooth. And it wasn't too sweet. I would def come back to this restaurant and try their other menu items. Our waitress was super super nice and she tried to give us suggestions and talk to us thinking we weren't local. When it comes to their menu, I heard it changes from time to time . They also have a bar in top of this restaurant if you want to just chill and watch more action from the airport

    Eggs Benedict with crab cakes
    Julie S.

    My parents and I tried Quail and Crane after staying a night at the Grand Hyatt SFO- the service was great and the eggs Benedict with crab cakes was amazing. The dining room had huge windows and nice ambiance.

    Great Morning Meeting Spot at SFO. Wonderful breakfast menu. Impeccable service. Amazing view of the runways and fantastic art installation hanging overhead. On this visit, I thoroughly enjoyed my delightfully light "Chicken & Waffles"; fresh eggs; naturally sweet berries; and, rich, robust, and piping hot French press coffee. CHEERS!

    I'm always skeptical of restaurants within hotels; however, in this case, Quail + Crane was one of the few outstanding ones I have been to. When I walked in, the front desk and servers greeted me with a smile and positive attitude. The food was impeccable. I had their salad, poke appetizer, and ribeye steak. The salad was a good portion with fresh greens and was refreshing to munch on after a long day of travel. The poke was good, nothing spectacular. The steak, though--my goodness, was it delicious. It was cooked a perfect medium rare (perfected better than even some steakhouses I have been to) and was incredibly juicy and flavorful. The prices were steep, but that's what you can expect at a hotel restaurant in SF (let alone connected to SFO). However, the service and quality of food made up for it. I'd dine here again if I have any future layovers at the Grand Hyatt SFO!

    Chicken and waffles || grains and greens || French press coffee
    Gillian A.

    Quality stuff here. Highly recommend the chicken and waffles. The chicken was amazingly flavorful (it's like the chefs threw in every single spice they had in the kitchen lol in magically a coherent manner). Super crispy as well. Waffle was buttery-scrumptious while not being greasy at all (didn't think it really needed the bacon pieces in it but it would make bacon fans rejoice). Perfectly poached eggs to the side. Loved the mixture of different textures in the grain and greens entree. Crispy veggies, soft quinoa, and the oozing of poached eggs. A little skimpy on the vinaigrette though with an unbalanced heavy taste of olive oil. Even the French press coffee was pretty good. Smooth. Tasted freshly brewed for sure. Service was friendly but not very attentive. After receiving the plates of food the server was nowhere to be seen until she was ready to clear all of the emptied plates. Restaurant is located inside of the Grand Hyatt at SFO. I dined during breakfast service (there's a different menu during dinner service). Overall rating: 4-ish stars rounded up

    Reena S.

    Beautiful upscale restaurant located inside the Grand Hyatt SFO. Nice place to get dinner or have a drink by the large floor to ceiling windows and enjoy the busy city view. Service is attentive. Recommend the Thorn and Petal drink; cocktails are well balanced and have beautiful presentation here.

    First time here with my friend because we wanna try something adventurous. It's by the SF International Airport inside the hotel. We've only ordered 3 dishes. And what can I say: I'm a bit disappointed. I wa looking forward for some good food, but they're very average. The seafood pasta was a bit spicy for my friend. The steak was overcooked. The only dish we both actually enjoyed was poke which is interesting. It came with a smoky taste which I like, and it's fun to watch how it was smoked. I've been here, done it and probably won't come back again.

    Crispy tofu
    Jovina B.

    Huge and spacious restaurant with excellent service. Food is amazingly delicious. We had the valentine dinner and it did not disappoint. I wanted to sub the beef Wellington with something plant based and chef David came to our table and explain the options. I had the beet Wellington and it was pretty tasty. The starter was crispy tofu for me and seared ahi tuna for my husband. Both will melt in your mouth. The dessert was also pretty tasty.

Been here a couple of times already and the service never failed. Even came here during the Cherry Blossom Festival and the staff were still friendly / accommodating. They even put a spicy sauce on the side of one of the katsu plates when we mentioned that my dad couldn't handle all that haha. This cozy spot mainly focuses on katsu plates, but I like how they had off menu or specials to choose from if you'd like another option. I will say though them katsu plates were just chef's kiss. The meat is pounded thin enough where it's still juicy and tender, but doesn't affect the exterior from being crunchy and a bit flaky. Nothing was dry here yallll! I also like how it already comes with miso soup and salad. Huge fan of that Hamachi Truffle special though. Think of a citrusy flavor from the ponzu, fresh fish, a bit of micro greens, and a thin slice of jalapeño that just ~works~ on a cute wooden spoon that you want to steal I could honestly eat like 5 spoons of this. I'd skip on the calamari as it was kind of skimpy to share with a large group. Only note was that their fried katsu curry was a bit underwhelming with having more slices of carrots than potato! Would love to come back if I am ever in the area.

The restaurant can be a little hidden, but it's pretty easy to find with the instructions they send before your reservation. It's located above Fermentation Lab. Just head up the stairs and you'll find it inside the old Ichi Pub space. The restaurant is small and intimate, with only 9 seats at the counter. When you arrive, walk through the Yuji curtain and check in directly with the chef since there is no host. My biggest concern with set menus is always whether I'll feel satisfied and full afterward, but that was definitely not an issue here. My husband and I were both very satisfied after the meal. Every dish was delicious, and you could really taste the quality of each ingredient. Highlights for me were the bluefin sashimi, which was so buttery and soft that it literally melted in your mouth. The skillfish was rich and decadent, and the citrus and ginger balanced the flavors. The fried fish was another favorite as it reminded me of the savory Japanese rice crackers I loved growing up. Since it's located in Japantown, parking can be challenging. We had to loop around several times looking for street parking and even had two cars take spots we were waiting for, so definitely give yourself extra time before your reservation. I would highly recommend this place! The chef changes the menu periodically based on what's in season, so it's a great excuse to come back and try something new in the future.

The location is unusual, as the restaurant is open to the mall, which is a bit disruptive. I came for the 8:30pm seating, but the previous guests were still finishing, so I had to wait until 8:45pm. The staff did not seem very concerned. Bad start. You could also hear the mall cleaning crew during dinner, which was not very pleasant. I ordered the 24-item Mizuho Menu, as did all the other guests. There were 5 guests in total (the restaurant can seat up to 8 people). Here is the menu I was served at the end of May: 1. starter: ama ebi cracker with caviar, pickled lotus root with shaved bonito, crab salad 2. nigiri 4x: isaki, iwana, myabi tai, kanpachi 3. sashimi: chutoro, hotate with caviar, umi masu, sawada 4. nigiri 8x: hirame, suzuki, inada, kurodai, shima aji, kamasu, otoro, aged A5 wagyu, kinmedai 5. hot dish: miso soup with inari and shrimp head, hokkaido uni with marinated ikura, black cod, umi masu with raw yellow egg and caviar 6. dessert: matcha ice cream with strawberry Frankly, the food was excellent. The starter was not very creative, but the nigiri were great. The sashimi selection was very nice, with some fish you do not see as often in omakase menus, such as isaki, iwana, and myabi tai, a kind of tai. Sawada was delicious and is always a good inclusion. We asked for some wasabi and received a small cup of kizami wasabi, a chopped wasabi with a slightly crunchy texture, which was a nice touch. For the nigiri, all the classics of a good omakase were present: otoro, kinmedai, shima aji, uni, hotate, and wagyu. Kamasu was also included, and it is one of my favorite fish. It is also worth noting that they age both their beef and their tuna, including the otoro that was served. A few pieces were torched, maybe a few too many. Overall, the service was not memorable, although chef Ron Au was friendly and nice. The place itself felt a bit questionable, and my expectations were not very high after the beginning of the meal. But the food was truly excellent, and for that reason I think it deserves 5 stars.
