    Sens burger
    Maggie W.

    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. This restaurant comes with a beautiful view of the Ferry building. I would definitely come here again.

    Brussel sprouts
    Lois R.

    Ate here on a recent trip to San Francisco. The service was excellent and I loved the view of the Bay Bridge. 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.

    Very awesome restaurant, with great ambience, comfort, great food and excellent service. 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.

    Good spot for a corporate happy hour, but the bar gets pretty loud and there isn't that much seating. Location can't be beat since it's right on the Embarcadero and they also have an outdoor patio overlooking the bay. 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. Overall, good vibe, and atmosphere for quick happy hours. Note: the bathroom is a bit hard to find, but in the middle of the restaurant with blue lights above.

    Dips and pita
    Andres N.

    Came here for HH after work. Was able to sit outside and enjoy the air and nice views of the ferry building, water, and surrounding area. 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. 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.

    Inside

    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!

    Steak
    Travis W.

    Fantastic restaurant with a world class view! I had the Mediterranean appetizer (hummus etc.) and the steak. Both were delicious. Seated at the window with a nice view of the Embarcadero and Ferry Building. Wine was great. Service was perfect. The Hyatt next door has a bridge connecting to the restaurant entrance.

    Had the pleasure of dining here on a Tuesday night around 7 pm for a team dinner! Great location at the Embarcadero center with a great view of the city. Tight interior though when you have a large party, but we were sat immediately and service was smooth and attentive. We ordered family style for appetizers and ordered individual entrees. Appetizers: - Pita Bread: soft, fluffy, and crunchy - Crab Dip: creamy dip with soft crab cakes - Rib Skewers: delicious cuts of meat, great char My main: Steak with Fries - Fries were the best side of the table with it being crunch, salty, and delicious - The steak was satisfactory, but it was really under flavored because of a lack of seasoning. Needed more salt Great dinner experience with the team

    Fries
    Serena L.

    Came here with some coworkers for happy hour on a Friday around 5pm. Lots of people were inside and it was already super loud, but outside seating was empty and quiet. A lot more people began coming as time passed. Fries - 4/5, yum! Well fried and very crispy. Came with mayo (?) and ketchup, but honestly really good without sauce. Chicken - 4/5, also crispy and well fried. Came with honey and what I'm guessing is buffalo sauce. Drinks - delicious and quite strong.

    See all
