A must visit. read more

This might just be the most Instagrammable restaurant. The ambiance, decor and presentations are dynamite. The service is fantastic they explain each cocktail and entrée as you get them, and the food itself is delicious. It's family owned but feels elevated, and is extremely fair priced. It was definitely a great birthday celebration dinner. Note we ate at their "Secret" location next door so these cocktails might only be available there. read more

While I haven't had a chance to visit the brick-and-mortar restaurant yet, I was able to try a couple of items from their food truck at the Japan Festival. I ordered the Unagi & Egg Salad Sando along with an ube drink topped with cream and shredded cheese. Although the sando was fried, it had an incredibly satisfying crunch that perfectly complemented the creamy egg salad and the generous piece of unagi on top. It was a delicious combination of textures and flavors. The ube drink was equally impressive--rich, flavorful, and fun to drink (and chew!) thanks to its unique toppings. Prices were very reasonable, and the service was friendly and efficient. Based on this experience alone, I'd definitely like to visit the restaurant in the future. read more

I brought my mom here for afternoon tea and prepaid ($138 including tip) on OpenTable. We had a 2:15 reservation & were hungry a little earlier & the restaurant accommodated us an hour early which was nice. The entrance area is narrow & crowded when the place is busy. However, the hostess did her best to seat us quickly in a nice corner table after the treats were set up on the cute three-tier serving tower. Our server came over & asked for our tea choices, then they were brought right over. The tea was good. The savory items on the tower were tasty. Three types of finger sandwiches, artichoke cheese bites, & crab tart. The fluffy strawberry scones were also really great. The sweet items were okay... honestly, too many sweets for me, but my mom enjoyed the lemon tart, raspberry macaron & all the things. The service was great. I appreciated their attentiveness. IMHO this tea was not worth the price for what we received, but it was a pleasant experience. It was not elevated & sophisticated though. The ambiance is a little tired as the many decorative flowers look like they have been around for a while & the furniture (tables & seats) is worn. The tables are also very close together. The rose on the table was beautiful though & they tried to make this experience special with the floral china, gold silverware & cute lil umbrella on the serving platter. Street parking. Two bathrooms. Large brunch menu... I might come back to try the brunch b/c the food I saw people enjoying looked really good. Mahalo! read more

The hostess lady with the ponytail gave us attitude ever since we walked in. The matcha was terrible (strawberry chunks that wouldn't mix properly with the powdery bitter matcha) and the basil bowl I had was too salty. While the decor is cute, the food and service was subpar. read more

came here for a girls weekend for some afternoon tea, specifically some Bridgerton Afternoon Tea! They have the cutest decor. Definitely recommend making a reservation beforehand. Service was attentive without feeling rushed, allowing us to truly enjoy the experience. Whether you're a tea enthusiast or simply looking for a nice brunch spot that feels a little more special than the usual café, this is a wonderful choice. Overall, this is the kind of place where you can easily spend a couple of hours enjoying good food, small bites, great tea, and even better company. Arrive early if you can, bring friends who appreciate the decor and tea- dining experience, and don't skip the scones and signature tea service. Highly recommended for brunch dates, girls' outings, birthdays, or anyone looking for a some fun way to spend an afternoon with your friends. read more

Came for a bachelorette party of like 15-20 girls! Of course, there was a reservation. I'd mostly say this was more of a 'pretty' place and I didn't know how much I'd love the food but it was actually quite good! Had a little bit of everything for everyone. Also Thai food? But the drinks were fine, service was fine, food was good, decorations were very pretty. Just remember that it's SF so there's no parking haha read more

Honestly pretty disappointing - aside from the cute decor, I don't think anyone from my group actually liked the food. Prices were pretty average for brunch - about $20+ per plate, but tell me why the cocktails were also $15-$20... Regardless, I had the Fried Chicken Benedict. The roasted potatoes it came with were decent and the egg was perfectly poached, but that was about the extent of it. The sauce it was served with was completely devoid of flavor and everything was sauced up so it all just ended up tasting kind of bland. My friends who ordered the Fried French Toast said it was overly sweet. Really wanted to like this place a lot more but honestly it seems to care way more about presentation than it does the actual quality... read more

Food was delicious. Despite being extra bust for a large wedding party, staff was friendly and attentive.

After attending an event at City Hall, we needed a place for a group lunch for about ten people. Son and Garden was a great place for that. It was close (within walking distance) and we were able to make reservations in advance. We visited around 11am on a Wednesday. The food was good, although we did see on the menu that its states "Substitutions or modifications are politely declined". We didn't try asking for any, but usually prefer restaurants that are more accommodating. Some of the menu offerings are a really creative twist on traditional dishes. The Bibimbap, for example, has a big piece of fried chicken. The grilled chicken salad is presented in a crispy shell made of fried parmesan cheese. Parking in this area is tight. If you visit, you should use rideshare. read more

I finally got the chance to check out Son and Garden after seeing it all over social media for the longest! We came in on a Monday with a group of 7 people. It wasn't busy and they were able to seat us right away! The restaurant is so pretty and filled with beautiful artificial flowers all over the walls and ceiling. There is even a cute photo op with a ring light for you to snap some pics! I'd say they have an extensive brunch menu which focuses on Asian-American fusion. Everyone in my group enjoyed their food and the service was wonderful. Our water glasses were filled right away and they checked in on us frequently, providing us with extra items that we needed. read more

Son & Garden is one of the most Instagrammable restaurants I've been to! Right as you walk in, you are greeted with a neon sign with flowers as the backdrop. Then, as you walk in, you can see that the ceilings and the decorations are all so vibrant and beautiful. We were there for the Alice in Wonderland afternoon tea experience. Besides the decoration, I feel like the food and the tea were quite average for the price we paid! We paid nearly $80 per person. We were full at the end but the desserts and the sandwiches were just average. My favorite was the warm scones. I like the berries in the scones and how fluffy they are. I think the afternoon tea expensive price doesn't justify the mediocre food quality. I have only been here for the afternoon tea experience. The food quality to price ratio might be different for their other brunch food. I did see that a lot of people were there for the afternoon tea experience. read more

Came for the Bridgerton tea with friends for a birthday and the pre experience over email was friendly and very communicative. We appreciated that very much. The service was smooth and we were there when it was fairly empty. The lower stars was mostly because there were several empty tables but as more parties came, they were all seated in the same area making the atmosphere feel cramped. Then it got really busy and with only 2 staff available, it felt like we were forgotten. The food was yummy and beautiful but definitely felt like there were waves of service where they were attentive and then there was no service. read more

Como les explico que teníamos este restaurante pendiente por visitar? Pero por una y otra cosa nunca se nos daba... HASTA QUE AL FIN PUDIMOS VENIR! Llegamos como a las 5:30 pm, no era momento para brunch sin embargo escogimos y los platillos estaban deliciosos! Mi esposo pidió el Salmón Curry y estaba riquísimo! Mi amiga pidió un Tom Yum Hot Pot Seafood y fue una delicia al paladar! El lugar es hermoso, hasta se me antojó celebrar mi cumpleaños. Gracias por el servicio!! Y el ambiente es muy cálido, muy ameno; un amor te muy agradable para compartir! Detalles a considerar: conseguir parking es complicado. Dimos varias vueltas hasta encontrar y la zona no es la mejor. Y mi amiga pidió unas Wings pero nunca llegaron, las cancelamos. No sabemos si la joven que nos atendió se le olvidó o no las apuntó en la orden. De resto, claro que regresamos y recomendamos este lindo lugar. read more

Not worth the hype and only good for cute decor. I went for brunch with two friends, so we each got a drink and then three plates to share. Our check totaled to $127 and personally, did not think it was worth it. Each of us got different drinks and didn't like them. I got the tiramisu latte which tasted nothing like tiramisu and was overall not good. The matcha wasn't very strong and the beet latte had espresso (which I guess usually isn't included). We ordered the volcano pancakes, the ube mochi pancakes, and the short rib omurice. I would say the volcano pancakes are the only worthwhile item to order. The liquid chocolate wasn't too sweet and the pancakes were well cooked. The ube pancakes were pretty starchy and didn't have a strong ube flavor. For the short rib omurice, we thought the meat was really flavorful and tender, however, the rice was just white rice instead of the usual seasoned fried rice. Maybe their afternoon tea is better since I saw multiple people getting that, but this is my second time visiting and I would not recommend it. read more

This is a little bit of a tough one. The food was pretty good and it was cute inside. The staff was friendly, too. It's absolutely not the best neighborhood, right in the middle of the tenderloin, but we knew that going in. Plus, we got to see a naked person walking around outside our window. Good times. That said, as long as you're OK with not being in the best neighborhood, it was a pretty enjoyable experience. We all tried different things from French toast to the garden omelette. We had a party at seven, and from the first person being served to the last person being served their food, it was at least 30 minutes. It was crowded because it was a New Year's, and it's tough to get a brunch reservation when a lot of the other restaurants are closed, but they really need to work on their timing. I got the garden omelette and it was OK, but this potatoes and scone that it came with were really delicious. My boyfriend got a crab omelette that looked pretty good but I did not have a bite. Everybody else seemed to like their food. The drinks were really pretty and served and adorable cups. I ordered a hot tea and it came in a darling tea pot with a matching teacup. It was very fun and instagrammable. The food was good, not amazing, but definitely good. I'm not sure if their reservation policy was just for New Year's Day or if it's always pretty strict, but it was a 48 hour cancellation with a credit card. I think it was $25 per person if you didn't show up. Kind of a bummer because we forgot we had free breakfast at our hotel and we had booked it 48 hours in advance so there was no chance to cancel it. It was still fun and enjoyable and yummy. read more

Food (5/5): One of my favorite brunch spots in SF! Love their Asian-themed dishes especially -- the Matcha Souffle Pancakes are my personal favorite, but everything we ordered was delicious! Seriously don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu Ambiance (5/5): A bit cramped and noisy for sure, but it's very unique! They curated a really fun and whimsical atmosphere with tons of different colors and fun decorations Value (4/5): The prices are very reasonable for what you get. Portions are pretty generous too, and quality is definitely there. Overall: This is definitely a brunch spot that I'd recommend to friends and will definitely be coming back to! read more

This is my first time at this location, I have been to other son & garden's before. Compared to the Menlo Park location, I was pleasantly surprised about this location. There were a few more "photo" spots. I also think the menu differed a bit . We came as a group and tried a variety of their alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. We were really impressed with how the drinks looked and tasted. We got a different variety of food including Benedict's, burgers, ube pancakes and we enjoyed all of them thoroughly. I will definitely be back to this location! read more

I came to Son and Garden for dinner to celebrate a special occasion. Because the location is at the edge of the Tenderloin, there's not much safe parking nearby so I got dropped off. Service was good, and seating was very comfortable with pretty florals decorating the entire restaurant. I ordered a warm ube latte and a Bear Belly Carbonara. The ube latte had nice milk foam and a strong ube flavor, which I enjoyed. The Carbonara was a bit on the heavier side, but I still enjoyed the bacon flavor and the pasta was cooked well. I didn't know there was garlic bread included, but that's a good thing! Food is pricey, but overall this is a good place for special occasions. read more

I went to the Menlo Park location for my 40th birthday and this SF location for my 42nd birthday. It all lives up to the hype!

Made a reservation for a Sunday morning and we were sat right away. I got the ricotta pancakes this time and they were delicious. Maybe I'll be back in 2 more years :) read more

Wanted to try this place a while ago but could finally made it on a... dinner. The interior decoration was lovely but the space was a bit dim. Yet the food was pretty impressive! The pork belly's sauce was quite spectacular (tangy & sweet), complimenting just an okay pork belly. Carbonara was quite okay (needs more protein portion) yet the sauce was balanced/plenty to dip with the bread. Prawn risotto was interesting but could become salty later if not finishing hot. Overall I would still come back for maybe brunch or afternoon tea! read more

Not only cool cocktails and beautiful food everything was fresh with amazing flavors. I loved the capers and dill in the crab Benedict and the sourdough toast it was on was the perfect accompaniment. The ricotta pancakes were light fluffy and delicious no need for syrup. Ocean panini was a good lunch option to add to our breakfast dishes to share. The atmosphere was beautiful and the family feel made it a place we loved dining at. Will definitely remember this place for future trips to SF read more

I don't understand the expensive craze for Tea time. The food offered was just average or below average for sandwiches. There were no flavors in the sandwiches, which were very bland. And the ambiance, even though it looks good on caemra/photos, is very rundown and old-looking. You don't really get the Bridgerton experience that you were looking for. I personally don't think it's worth the money. It's not the cozy environment that a High Tea customer would expect. Per person was prepaid with tax and tip at $78, which is not worth the food served. I wouldn't do it again. The service is great, and people are nice, but I wish the price and food lived up to it. read more

This place incredibly whimsical! If you're looking to maximize aesthetics while also eating good food, this is the place. The decor makes you feel transported to a new world, especially in contrast with the streets outside. We came here on a weekday afternoon for brunch/lunch. There were a few parties but it wasn't that busy. I got the country benedict and it was great - very large portions and tasty. The eggs were perfectly poached. While we were there, another party had the tea set and it looked so cute and dainty. And another couple was celebrating a birthday (which the staff help celebrate you with drums and sparklers), if that's your style. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend coming here if you're looking for a fun experience! read more

Okay finally came here after having it on my to go list for over a year. And I can't believe I've wasted all that time not visiting sooner. If you like brunch, this is your place. I can hear in a group of 4 on a Sunday at 1pm for brunch. We all shared a bunch of dishes so we could try as much as possible Ricotta pancakes- nice and fluffy. Sweet, but not overly so. Great with the fruit compote that came with it as an "end of meal" bite. Would recommend getting for the table! Korean Benedict- not exactly sure why it's called a Benedict as the only thing remotely like one is the poached eggs with hollandaise sauce. But this dish was exceptional. I loved the short rib and kimchi fried rice. Expect a ton of food with this entree! Bear Belly Panini- the sandwich was well put together. The bread was light and fluffy and all the flavors melded together well. But the star was hands down the bear belly. If you don't get this dish, at least ensure you order something with bear belly for the table. It's basically candied pork belly. Bibimbap- excellent. The fried chicken was moist but with a crunchy breading. And the fried rice underneath was full of veggies and flavor. It's a very filling and tasty brunch version of a typical bibimbop Hola! Omelet- I actually didn't get to try this by my friend who got it said it was delicious. I did get to try the blueberry scone and it was sweet, savory, and fluffy. I'd be willing to just buy the scone! Smoked Salmon Benedict- has a small bite and the poached egg was well cooked and the smoked salmon flavor really shines through. The lemon hollandaise sauce really paired well. They also have high tea- I plan to check that out as well in the future. But I'll definitely be back for the brunch. read more

The ambiance when you walk is so adorable! It's a great place for an afternoon tea. The table next to us had a gorgeous tea pastry tower. I hope to try it next time. The service is as great, attentive but not overbearing. We had the fried chicken and waffles which was delicious. We also ordered a side of bacon and breakfast potatoes. All the food was great and did a stellar job at bringing in Korean fusion flavors. I also had a Ube matcha with my meal which was to die for! Can't wait to return one day :) read more

Cheerful spot, they are all about presentation with a flower wall and a spot to take photos, food all very colorful and beautiful. I was expecting the quality of food to not match up to the presentation, but it surprisingly was very good! Parking on Mother's Day for lunch found easily around the corner. Service was great. They even let us keep the rubber ducky that came with one of our cocktails and gave us a second one since we had two kids. Total including tax/tip was $226.82 for lunch for 4 adults and 2 kids. Very reasonable. Drinks * Under The Sea - 4 stars. More for presentation. Drink was just kind of sweet. * Sweet Memories (mother's day special) - 3.5 stars. Beautiful (served with dried ice under a dome so they let the vapor come out all at once), pretty tasty, a bit strong. Food * Matcha Mochi Pancakes - 4 stars. Moist and tasty. * Fried Chicken Benedict - 4 stars. * Bibimbap - 4 stars. * Mickey Mouse Pancake - 4 stars. Bonus for the ears and face on the pancake! * Kids Cheeseburger - 3.5 stars. * Loco Moco - 3.5 stars. A big heavy meal, less gravy than other loco moco's I've had, but that might be the Asian influence. read more

As soon as you walk in, it's like stepping into a fairyland dream come true. I visited for my daughter's preschool promotion, and she absolutely loved it. They seated us at a cozy booth where It said , "Hello, gorgeous." From the delicious food to the cotton candy drink, it truly felt like a dream to dine here. For our meal, I enjoyed the eggs Benedict, my son had the French toast, and my daughter was thrilled with her chocolate chip Mickey Mouse pancakes. Everything was fantastic, and we will definitely be returning. I was a bit skeptical about the location at first, but once you step inside, it's like a whole different world a magical experience worth repeating. read more
