    Market salad
    Sherrie K.

    We love to visit the battery when we are in San Francisco. It's a private club that has reciprocal locations in different parts of the world also... Why do we like the battery? There is always something fun going on... While we were there in March we were able to attend a free comedy show... Standing room only. After it was on to the secret room for drinks and dinner downstairs in the renovated dining room. The weather was stellar during our visit in March at 80°! So sitting outside at one of the garden tables was a must. The food here is excellent in the dining room and outside. The service is also top-notch.... The art changes, but my favorite is downstairs in the basement! ".... And then they came." how can you not love that?! Even the bathrooms are fun in this establishment! Dark, bohemian and somewhat sultry. We love the changing entertainment and always feel welcome here.

    Food was superb. I loved the cod, it just melted in my mouth. The champagne is spendy but very tasty. Everyone else really enjoyed the food as well. The banana tart was a good dessert. I also loved the ravioli and my gf enjoyed her lobster spaghetti.

    It has a sleek, modern interior and offers events like comedy shows or dj parties. Their cocktails are excellent, and each room has some really interesting and unique design features.

    See all

    Went to the battery without knowing much about it. Ordered the tuna salad. The tuna was good but way too much salt was added to the salad an

    Average price per dinner guest, not including drinks? Thinking about hosting a dinner here for a dozen or so people and want to quality + price compare. Thank you in-advance!

    Is there a dress code?

The space is stylish, modern, with lounges, work-friendly areas, meeting rooms, phone booths, lockers, a café/bar, and plenty of room to connect with people. It's a community space for entrepreneurs, founders, investors, creatives, and changemakers. They host events, talks, cultural programming, and networking opportunities; you can meet interesting people, get work done, or attend a curated event there.

The 3pm coffee break is not bad. But pretty much after that it's downhill - the sales team promises a community but really it's a Coworking space with uncomfortable sitting for working and member predominantly prefer not to interact much from 9-4pm - cafe doesn't really need to try because they have a captive audience as no outside food is allowed. Food is okay unless you are unlucky like me and get myself and my friend food poisoning from their strawberry matcha latte $13.50 each. We got our refund but no word of apology. - cafe staff is more likely not to know how to process your member credit. More than 50% of the time using your member credit is an uncomfortable experience and they just like to blame another team for why they are not trained. - the space is closed or partially closed whenever they can get it rented. Members just have to deal. - for $3000 a year shack15 is trying too hard to be cool but it just feels pretentious and almost unwelcoming. The events. You don't have to be a member to go to the events. À la carte payments work. Some events are good. If you are looking for Coworking space and want ergo set up this is not the place. If you want to meet people it's not great at facilitating a true community. It is a beautiful space that unfortunately doesn't deliver on its promise for me.

    Fisherman's Wharf, North Beach/Telegraph Hill

    Ahhh I think we found one of our new favorite hotels when in San Francisco and with our dog baby…read more This hotel is situated near so many great places like Pier39, and Fisherman's Wharf. Everything you would want and need is all within a 10 min walking distance. The parking is valet only and they charge $75-$100 a night so we parked around the corner at one of the many parking garages that are MUCH cheaper so I'd recommend that. The hotel was super nice, they even have cocktail hour with wine, beer, lemonade and apple cider which is a nice touch. No snacks though just drinks but still a nice gesture especially in this economy. They are dog friendly and do not charge extra for your dog staying. The aesthetics is nice, the restaurant attached to this hotel is also really nice. Overall I'd definitely recommend. Oh and upon checkout-we were assured by a lovely lady at the counter named Mary. She was so pleasant and sweet to talk to. We laughed about staycations and Napa Valley. She was such a sweetheart. Glad we chose this place. We will be back!

    I really wanted to love Kimpton Alton because I typically enjoy boutique hotels that pride…read morethemselves on hospitality. Unfortunately, this stay fell far short of the experience and it delivered like a Holiday Inn. The biggest disappointment was the front desk. We stood at the front desk for over 10 minutes on Monday waiting to be acknowledged -- both the AM and especially the PM staff didn't care to look above their monitors. We were not greeted. Not told, "We'll be right with you." Just completely ignored by the front desk staff while they went about their business. Hospitality starts with making guests feel seen, and this hotel failed at the most basic level. The owner of this location might as well hire AI robots to check guests in. It might attract more customers. If you're a CSR member, this hotel does not give any Edit benefits. It isn't worth staying at even with the "Select" IHG credit, IMO. I also have AX platinum and I noticed they provided early check in for those guests but their amenities are also not worth the booking for benefits. The room was equally underwhelming. It felt tired and dingy rather than stylish or boutique. The addition of a record player in the room plus a pet plant you can get at the front desk is a lame way to call an old building "boutique." To make matters worse, the motorized curtains repeatedly glitched in the middle of the night, opening on their own several times and waking us up. It's a small detail that became a big annoyance when all you want is a good night's sleep. The one bright spot was Dean, the concierge. He was genuinely warm, welcoming, and embodied the kind of hospitality I expected from the entire hotel. He was friendly, attentive, and made us feel like valued guests. Dean was the only reason this review isn't one star. A boutique hotel can have quirky décor or minor maintenance issues if the service is exceptional. But when you're ignored at check-in, given a room that feels worn, and then have your sleep interrupted by malfunctioning curtains, it's hard to justify the premium price. Kimpton Alton has potential, but until the front desk team understands that acknowledging guests is Hospitality 101, I won't be returning.

I luckily live walking distance so it's easy for me to get to. They charge $5 an hour for Wifi (or $25 a day), which I think is totally reasonable since there is unlimited coffee included, and I'd probably pay that or more at a coffee shop anyway. They have tons of outlets, and even offer chargers, mouse, keyboard, monitors if needed. If you are here during lunch time, there is a ton of great restaurants nearby to eat at or pick up food to eat while you work. I have a dog, and it's nice that they are super dog friendly! They even have an outdoor space in the back, but I typically sit inside with my dog. I am so happy that a place like Neon exists!!

After some Googling, I came across NEON and decided to call. Teddy answered and immediately scheduled a time to help me out. Even though I wasn't able to make it on the originally scheduled day, Teddy went above and beyond and came in on a day when the space was already booked for an event and very busy. He helped me get everything done quickly and efficiently. This was also around the holidays, so I'm especially grateful for the extra effort. NEON is a co-working space, but it has such a friendly, down-to-earth vibe. I really appreciate their flexible pricing model. You can pay for a day pass ($25) or by the hour ($5), which makes it affordable without feeling locked into a subscription you have to constantly justify. I'll definitely be coming back to do work here more often, meet people, and enjoy the amenities. There's even an outdoor space, which is a great bonus. Huge shoutout to Teddy and the NEON team for creating such a vibrant, cozy, and inviting space. Everyone is genuine, thoughtful, and happy to help with anything you might need. Highly recommend. Definitely check it out!
