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.

Hokkaido scallops with mushrooms, apple, bacon.
Jodie S.

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.

Gorgeous Ceiling Sculpture in Dining Room! (August, 2024)
Jennifer Y.

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!

Jordan T.

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.

Annie G.

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.

The crispy chicken was recommended by the server and it truly did not disappoint. The chicken was crisp and juicy and the noodles were cooked perfectly. For drinks we got the Thai iced tea, butterfly lychee fizz, and the coconut milk latte. I got the Thai ice tea less sweet and it was perfect for me ( I usually don't like it super sweet). The butterfly lychee fizz was very refreshing (could be less sweet for me) and the coffee was also very good! Would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area or looking for brunch food that isn't your typical American brunch!

In my opinion Lapisara ranks in the middle due to the other excellent options available. Seated immediately--had a reso but on a Wednesday morning not really necessary. It took a long time for the single employee to get to us but we weren't in a hurry. Cappuccino was very good in a cute "bear mug" and very reasonably priced. We shared a pacific omlet--not much crab, lots of shrimp, and nice swiss cheese/scallions but tasted kind of fishy--potatoes were only avg. Son said huevos rancheros were average. Price point good for SF and portions adequate to share. Location convenient so we will try dinner there tonight before a comedy show nearby. Dinner-5++ stars; 4 of us Had dinner last night-6pm-reso but not needed. only one other group dining. Single Waitress was great-we let her know we needed to leave in about an hour for a show and she timed everything perfectly--we even had time for dessert. we ordered so many items that she brought over an extra table--we shared everything family style. Most Yelp reviews only mention brunch but the dinner was awesome--service; food: taste/quality, presentation, portions, prices we phenomenally low for SF ($200 with a bottle of wine for 4 people). We started with the garlic butter clams-small but tasty. Tuna tartar was excellent quality and enough to share. Samosas were more like empanadas--very good with peanut sauce so good it rivaled my own home made. We continued our culinary adventure with crab fried rice-delicious, a large portion and my son who lives in SF and has tried dozens of crab fried rice ranked it in the top tier. The pacific catch rice noodles with crab was also excellent-big portion, lots of crab, tasty. Final entree was their specialty-Mussaman Curry. Wow, tender meat/potatoe "stew" with a very unique flavor from the star anise/cinnamon and peanut--to die for. Creme Brulee was very good with lots of fresh fruit accompaniment My only complaint was a very limited wine selection. Lapisaia will become one of our regular spots for dinner!!!

They had a nice crisp on the outside and were soft on the inside. I also got a regular coffee, and they do unlimited refills. The place was busy for brunch, and I liked the bear theme. Some of the coffees came in bear-shaped glasses, and some of the lattes had a decorative bear made out of ice.

The lemon ricotta pancakes are the star for good reason. They were light, fluffy, and not too sweet. The crispy potatoes were excellent too, just be warned they come out scorching hot (I burned the roof of my mouth going in too eager). Give them a minute to cool. Upside of parking on the top of that steep hill is that you'll burn off your breakfast calories getting back to your car.
