Thanks for waiving the cover for my birthday weekend…read more Vibes are great here, there's a chiller side where you can just sit down, enjoy drinks and play with the board games they provide. The other side is for when you're ready hit the dance floor. Tried their p martini and it was too citrusy and not enough passionfruit flavor for me. Water is very accessible on both sides which is great. Would come again for sure!

I came to Rick & Roxy's with a 222 group after dinner at nearby Hinodeya. We finished dinner early,…read moreso we were the first ones to arrive, and it was super chill and very empty, which was actually nice not having to compete with a large crowd to order drinks. I was excited to see that the first cocktail listed on the menu was the Porn Star. I don't often see this drink offered, so it was a nice surprise. The version here is mixed with vodka but no bubbles. It's barely noticeable though because they made it into such a fruity concoction, I couldn't even taste the alcohol. My group threw some darts, mingled with and chatted up others as they arrived, and eventually migrated to the nightclub side of the bar. I thought the experience was pretty good at first, but after a while I got bored, so I went to join other friends at White Rabbit and continue the night. I definitely think this is a good bar to include in the rotation for bar hopping nights in the Marina.

We came here on a Wednesday evening for the Broadway Bar Sing-along and my goodness it was more fun…read morethan I anticipated. A friend of mine got tickets for us because we love musicals and karaoke and thought, what a great way to blend the two! Our MC was a lovely person by the name of Hummingbird Meadows and she really knew how to work the crowd. There was a mix of trivia, "auditions" for roles of Grease, and various sing-alongs, as well as karaoke of musicals. There was also themed drinks that you can get with your tickets. They aren't going to be around for much longer (August, i think?) so if you're looking for a fun thing to do and you like musicals, you should definitely check this out.

I visited twice for Holly Jolly bar popup (since tickets were nonrefundable). The first time, they…read morewere super unprepared with only one bartender stressfully working the entire bar and not enough materials, so the drinks were messy and inconsistent. The decor and vibe were also just typical, so it wasn't really worth the ticket cost over going to any other bar. The second time was much smoother, with more Christmas decor (like lights) and more consistent drinks. There are booths and standing tables which are first come first serve (not included with ticket). It's EXTREMELY loud in here and noise pierces heavily, so it's more fun for large groups.

One of my new favorite restaurants!…read more Elevated Chinese in a gorgeous setting with innovative dishes. It was a wonderful choice for my father's birthday dinner on a Saturday night, everyone had so much fun sharing all the yummy, beautiful dishes family style. My fave were the pumpkin puffs filled with duck, and everyone was obsessed with the black bean eggplant & silky tofu. The fried har gow is unique, and the pan fried bbq pork buns are sooo soft & addictive (still thinking about them). I was worried about the picky kids finding something to eat, but they sucked up all the dumplings quickly, were excited about the beautiful & unique dishes, and ate more than usual much to their parents' delight! Only thing I would love to see is the desserts leveling up to the savory food with more Chinese-inspired creative recipes (mango cake was a bit dry). Opened in 2022 - this place is Michelin level, and worth the time to review & spread the word. It's a bit pricey, but absolutely worth it for organic, sustainable food, and a truly lovely experience for the family. They also have a private room. I can't wait to go back to enjoy the patio on a warm day!

I've never expected to come to a Chinese restaurant in the Marina, but there's a first time for…read moreeverything. This place was very nice as the interior and exterior was exquisitely designed. Their patio is one of the best places in the city for a date night! Pork and Truffle XLB (5/5): Just wow! This XLB was packed with juicy flavor and the truffle definitely stole the show. Shrimp Pork Wonton (5/5): I really liked the peanut butter in this dish as it was unique compared to other wontons. It was earthy but also packed with umami flavor Mushroom spring roll (5/5): Definitely one of best eggroll I've ever had. The skin was flaky and not too crunchy. The mushroom created this unique flavor I've never had in an eggroll. Ahi Tuna tostada (5/5): This was my favorite because I love raw fish, but nontheless this was amazing. The fish was fresh and the avocado packed it with flavor. Szechuan chicken (5/5); This was great bite to share with the table. A lil kick with a big punch of flavor. Lettuce cup chicken (5/5): Nice balance of crunch and savory. I loved how the chicken wa spackled with flavor and lettuce was refreshing. Chilean Sea bass (5/5); Glazed with miso so it was perfectly sweet. I liked the texture of the fish as it had a nice chewiness. Stir fired beef (5/5): Very tender and packed with flavor. The smokiness reminds me of a steakhouse Sweet & tangy chicken (5/5): This comes with a half pineapple. It has a sweet glazed tangy flavor and the chicken had delicate texture. Roasted egg plant (5/5): I don't even like eggplant and I loved this dish. The eggplant was perfectly cooked as it wasn't too mushy and tofu was silky soft. I loved how it absorbs the rich sauce. Sautéed green beans (5/5); Perfectly delicate and simple. Can't go wrong with this. Mouthai Char Siu (5/5);This comes with Fiji apples to cleanse your palette. The pork jowl was flavorful and fatty. Just the way I like it. Fried rice (5/5): Very solid and comforting. Garlic Shrimp noodles (5/5); similar to Alfredo and I really liked how light it was. Overall I really enjoyed my experience and the food here. It's also affordable compared to other restaurants in the area.

If Paris had a secret bar hidden inside San Francisco, this would be it. Bar Crenn feels like a…read morecandlelit salon - intimate, old-world, and effortlessly elegant. And the service matches that energy perfectly: polished, warm, and present without hovering. And don't skip the cocktails. They're a core part of the experience. Their version of an Espresso Martini was my favorite of the night... and I'm not even a coffee drinker. Foodwise, everything was paced beautifully. We started with their playful "smoke break," a crunchy seaweed cigar stuffed with sweet Dungeness crab and caviar. The agnolotti was filled with ricotta and goat cheese, layered with Burgundy truffle and mushroom, and tied together with an aromatic onion porcini consommé. Warm malted pretzel bread came next with a silky Mornay sauce topped with caviar and mustard for dipping. The brandade of salted cod with light, airy whipped potatoes disappeared in a few spoonfuls, and the dry-aged kampachi mosaic, paired with truffle purée and finished with uni béarnaise and more truffle, was one of those bites you pause for. The highlight was the two-part course: matsutake chawanmushi with crab dashi and browned butter, paired with unbelievably tender abalone finished with a sauce made from its own liver. Closing: Bar Crenn isn't about big portions or spectacle. It's about intention, atmosphere, and a rare level of refinement that still feels welcoming. If you're looking for a special night that feels transportive from the moment you sit down, this is absolutely worth the reservation. 5 stars.

Space is beautiful, low lights, wood paneling, velvet seats, a very relaxing but elegant design. Drinks: Mizuwari - good, this is prebatched and carbonated upon service, nice light fruity flavors with a light sparkling effervescence, whisky definitely more in the background, didn't pick up much floral in this one either but enjoyed it Arlequin - good, nice creamy foamy texture from the egg white, nice acidity, with subtle berry notes, and a whisper of scotch in the finish, a very unique take on a whisky sour Baxter - boozy and on the sweeter side, with a strong cognac flavor in the finish, fruity upfront, a slow sipper Food: Nori Rolls: great, loved the fresh Dungeness crab within the crispy nori shell almost like a wafer texture with just a little bit of rice to hold it together, grab was sweet with a subtle saltiness, chives added a burst of light delicate onion flavor, came with two small pieces per order Scallop Tacos: good, thin slices of raw scallops topped with mildly spiced xo sauce, on a very crispy chip like textured shell, the citrus added a burst of freshness, good but was expecting more of a traditional taco with a tortilla, this was a canape sized bite Pretzel Bread with Mornay sauce - pretzel i believe was a buckwheat base so a bit more dense than i was expecting, nice salty crust, mornay sauce was very tart and acidic with a thin runny texture, mustard forward as well, had higher hopes for this wouldn't recommend if you are expecting a classic pretzel Lobster Roll - served in a brioche bun that was a bit dense and lacked the airiness I was expecting, lobster was also a tad tough and chewy, loaded with bearnaise which was creamy and rich with a subtle saltiness but overpowered by the hot sauce served ontop Paris Breast: highlight of the night, really light airy choux with a slight crisp exterior filled with a delicious lightly sweetened vanilla cream, passionfruit orange and guava in the curd and filling was also excellent and made for an exciting end to the meal. Service was solid fairly attentive, plates and serviceware and water refilled and refreshed throughout. Food was well paced. Drinks took a little time to order but understandable given there were only two bartenders for the evening. Overall Bar Crenn was a little disappointing, other than dessert nothing was particularly note worthy. Cocktails were good but not outstanding, small bites were pretty hit or miss with small portion sizes. Glad i got to try this spot but not likely to return.

Great cocktails and live jazz! Their menu changes seasonally every few months…read more I love their cocktails. Recently, they had a floral and fruit section. I thoroughly enjoyed my Pink Panther cocktail (peaches, fresh citrus, aperol, and vodka.) The ambiance is giving dark academia--love the bookshelves, elevated platforms, and lush leather couches. Every now and then, the lights tim (good for dates), but there's also plenty of girls' groups and guys' nights out here. There's a fun pool table in the back (need to pay to use.) It's nicer than the pool tables at most bars I've been to in SF. Service is pretty good, depending on who's there.

Absolutely DISGUSTING.

They offer a huge variety of New American fare with generous shareable portions or small plates. The layout was well thought out as every table is comfortable and offers visitors enough room to play musical chairs for those large group meetups. The Brixton gets busy fairly often, but again, the layout and spacing makes it such that you can hear everyone in your party without screaming. The food is great, and I've yet to find a dish that I wouldn't resoundingly recommend. The servers are knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. The Brixton is always on my recommendation list as a place to hang out in the Marina/Cow Hollow area.

But it was still hard to hear each other across the table. My husband had a drink at the bar. He ordered a second at the table and they brought him a third. We ordered wontons that never arrived. He ordered a salad with his hamburger and they brought him fries. The food was delicious. Dessert was disappointed. We ordered an apple pie but it was more like a pop tart. All pastry and only a tiny bit of apples. Our server was very helpful and accommodating. I understand that the kitchen was slammed. But I always wonder when the wait staff who takes your order is not the one delivering your food. That's where the mistakes happen. My scallops were delicious. All four tiny ones. Next time we'll come when it's hopefully quieter.
