    we went to Sens during Tuesday lunch and ordered the pita spread, calamari and the clams linguine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]overall, the restaurant has the aesthetics but everything else is ok.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] our server was ok and wasn't too nice. the pita spread is decent and the calamari is decent. it wasn't amazing but it also wasn't bad. it was a little pricey for the portion. the clams linguine was a little bit below average because the portion was a lot smaller than i expected and didn't really fill me up even with the apps. most importantly, the clams had a grainy taste to it and it seems like it wasn't cleaned well because it almost tasted like there were still sand in it. at the end of the meal, there was so much butter on my plate that i was a little surprised by the amount of butter that was added

    Went to Sens on a Friday night. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was semi-busy, but we were seated promptly and had a great view of the Ferry Building.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience was lovely, and I appreciated that they offered multiple non-alcoholic beverage options which was a nice touch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the setting. The hummus on the Mediterranean plate tasted off and very bland. The pita bread was nice. Even the aioli that came with my kiddo's fries seemed separated and overly oily, so we chose not to eat it. The lamb ragu pasta was lacking salt and also quite oily. The paella was just okay and leaned heavily on chorizo, not what I'd expect for a $49 dish. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, we left feeling unsatisfied with the food and service while the ambience and view being the highlights[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I came here for a team lunch and I had the Sens burger and the Mediterranean spreads. The burger had a delicious buttery brioche bun, and the fries were yummy! The spreads were all delicious and the pita was warm and fluffy. Service was good, we had our waters get continually topped up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant comes with a beautiful view of the Ferry building.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely come here again.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very awesome restaurant, with great ambience, comfort, great food and excellent service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sens has been a SF stable for nearly 20 years. The restaurant is tucked away near the Hyatt Regency / walking‐bridge area in San Francisco. at the 4 Embarcadero Center, Promenade Level above ground, and is a local / business area favorite. Service is always on point, professional, knowledgeable and prompt. Food is always fresh and great tasting. For a business lunch, they also offer a 2-course at $38 and 3-course at $42. Great restaurant with great food!

    Charcuterie board
    May W.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good spot for a corporate happy hour, but the bar gets pretty loud and there isn't that much seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Location can't be beat since it's right on the Embarcadero and they also have an outdoor patio overlooking the bay.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a happy hour menu 3:30-6pm. We ordered the following: - Charcuterie board $22 - good, but nothing unique - fries $9 - ok - Mushroom and Pepperoni pizza - both $22 were delicious - hummus platter $19 - ok - arancini $12 - comes with 4 and delicious Also had the sangria and it was a pretty generous pour. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, good vibe, and atmosphere for quick happy hours.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Note: the bathroom is a bit hard to find, but in the middle of the restaurant with blue lights above.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Brussel sprouts
    Lois R.

    Ate here on a recent trip to San Francisco. The service was excellent and [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the view of the Bay Bridge.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My friend and I shared both the black cod and the pork chop. The latter was good but not easy to share. My cousin had the Brussel sprouts and paella, which was large enough to take some home. She also started the meal with the arancini and let us taste. I'd never had it before but it was delicious, with great texture outside and in, and I will try again next time I have the opportunity. She didn't like the espresso and only had one sip, but I didn't ask for details. She did like the soft serve dessert, which was a very large serving, and every time she thought she was done, she would continue to go back for more bites.

    Dips and pita
    Andres N.

    Came here for HH after work. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Was able to sit outside and enjoy the air and nice views of the ferry building, water, and surrounding area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside of the restaurant itself is quite charming too but I really enjoyed being out on their patio as they are up on the 3rd floor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Got the sangria and a couple of bites. To me their sangria tasted watered down and not as flavorful as others I have tried. Their pita was served warm and well seasoned. I liked all the dips. They tasted fresh but could have used a bit more seasoning. We ordered the Lamb skewers since the menu said they had a pomegranate sauce which sounded great but when we got them the sauce was nowhere to be found nor could we taste it. A side of it would have been nice to have. Service was great and our server was friendly. Overall, nice views and atmosphere but both food and drinks could use more flavor. Maybe I'd try something different next time.

    This is a first ...chicken paella no shrimp or seafood at all.  Weird.

    Chicken paella? Really ? No warning whatso ever. Came out with straight up chicken and rice.

    This space is really beautiful but every time I come in, it's always without reservations and all their tables are usually booked so I would recommend making a reservation. They have a lot of work events at this spot. It's a little tricky to find this place, but you have to go up to the second or third floor and it's right next to the hotel. The food is pretty good, but I've only ordered things on the happy hour menu so I need to try more.

    Jalapeño corn bread
    Stephanie D.

    This place I will forever hold close to my heart. A couple of years ago, my now husband reunited here after so many years. We recently went back, and I think we ordered the same thing. The jalapeño corn bread and the friend chicken. We initially just wanted to stop by for drinks but after talking for so long, we decided to order and early dinner. The ambiance is always amazing since you have an amazing view of Embarcadero and also playing great music w a DJ!

    Happy hour menu
    Itzak H.

    Sens was perfectly fine. We went as a group of six for happy hour just to get a couple of drinks. Sitting outside was nice as you could get the mix of the cold air as well as the nice warm glow from the heaters. The service was a bit slow but I suppose for happy hour it made sense. There was a big reunion happening at the same time so a lot of attention was being paid there as well. The drinks aren't nothing to rave about and they are quite privy. Even the non alcoholic mixed drinks for some reason are always very expensive which just doesn't sit very well with me. Overall, a nice place to sit and look out onto the Embarcadero but nothing worth going out of the way for.

    Roasted Free Range Chicken Bar Menu Dinner
    Sandy L.

    Sens is yummy! We stopped by for a team happy hour and it was a beautiful ambiance. Keep in mind the happy hour menu portions are very tiny and I would double servings if you're coming here with a large group. The lamb skewers and burger were really good! Everything else was good as well but didnt stand out to me. Service is great and accommodating, they were packed when we went but I felt like they gave us adequate attention especially as a large group. I

    Pasta
    Amanda S.

    We came for a large group dinner and the menu selected included appetizer of dips (trio) and chicken meatballs. The main courses were served family style with options for steak, salmon and tomato pasta. One will expect that the food would take a while to be served due to the size of the group. The pace was a bit slow which allowed for plenty of drinks. They had a nice wine selection and the servers kept our glasses filled. Cheers!

We also tried the sangria which was great- not too sweet and decently strong (not watered down bad wine). For dessert, the lemon cake was tasty but odd that dried cranberries were sprinkled into the whipped cream. I appreciated the variety offered on the menu- not just typical Greek food you find everywhere else that touts "Mediterranean food". The service was super nice and efficient, and I like that it has been family owned and run (sadly an increasingly rare San Francisco characteristic these days)- you can tell the difference in the quality and thought put into the experience.

There was complimentary bread which was insanely good and fluffy and warm plus tahini and an onion tomato sauce I think along with radishes and olives. We are not olive ppl sadly but I tried one and it was pretty okay. The service was great and all the servers were super attentive and accommodating. The Stuffed falafel was so good and huge 1 is enough for 2 people. The mosabaha was very refreshing and so good. The meat combo was good overall and everything was very herbally spiced, I wasn't impressed by the lamb tho but the kebab, hummus, and chicken were great! I haven't had Mousakhan before so not sure how it should taste but to me it was sweet and savory with really well cooked chicken. I honestly felt pretty healthy overall cause I was eating hella veggies and everything tasted so fresh. The kunafa was good we got it crispy and was yummy imo but was a lil oily (I think this is normal tho). Arab food isn't really spicy but it is spiced and very herbal which I felt in the food here, I appreciate that chili sauce is provided for the spice lovers. Overall, would highly recommend. It was about $100ish for everything and they recently increased their prices but tbh the portion sizes are huge and I feel like it is so worth it we had hella leftovers.

Unfortunately, the food wasn't as good as the ambiance and waitstaff. ***OUR PICKS*** BEEF SHAWERMA ENTREE ~ the beef was overly salted, saffron rice was ok, hummus was really thick, like peanut butter. My guy ordered this and thought it was average. 3/5 LAMB SHISH KEBAB WRAP ~ this was my dish. I ate one half of the wrap and it only held two cubes of lamb meat. The lettuce and tomatoes made the wrap bland. The meat was seasoned, but everything was plain, so it needed more seasoning. Honestly, this was missing flavor! I'll have to add something to it when I eat the rest of this wrap at home. 2.5/5 HALF ROASTED CHICKEN AND RICE ~ Our friend ordered this dish. It needed more sumac. This tasted like plain roasted chicken. Maybe it needs more seasoning while marinating. It wasn't dry, so that's a relief. Rice was ok and it wasn't dry or soggy. 3.5 We've been spoiled and have had better food in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Nothing stood out for any of us. Prices are a bit high for what you get. Sadly, probably won't be back.

A plate of zucchini, grape tomatoes, Moroccan mint leaves, and a pair of Bulgarian cheese; complimentary for my first visit here. Persian noodle soup, filled with beans, chickpeas, and lentils; loved the floral notes in every spoonful. Main course, veggie kabob on a bed of basmati rice drenched in saffron and spices, along with some onions and mushrooms, and of course, a large Lavash bread at the bottom to fill the whole plate.

The problem was that they didn't have any flavor. The Baklava Crumbles and Syrup was okay. The Frozen Yogurt was okay and the Baklava that went with it was very meh in terms of taste and texture. This was definitely the worst Baklava tasting thing that I have tasted before and wish that there was the Pilo Dough to give it some texture instead of being mushy.

    I drove over 55 minutes to try Freekeh and honestly left disappointed. I had a reservation and was…read morethe only customer there, but there was almost zero hospitality. No warm welcome, no smile, and nobody checked on us after the food arrived. Especially the girl working there -- she looked annoyed and unwelcoming, like she really didn't want to be at work. That attitude completely affects the whole experience. For a Middle Eastern concept, hospitality should be a big part of the experience. Instead, it felt like showing up at someone's house without calling first. The food portions were also very small for the price. I don't mind paying premium prices, but the service and experience need to match. Good food alone isn't enough. The team really needs hospitality training.
