    Nuggets
    Yikhwan D.

    I had an ok experience at the Morris. The service was overall great! Very attentive and knowledgeable, but two of us arrived earlier than one of our friends. We wanted to get something light while we waited but they told we had to order everything at the same time. Wasnt mad about it.... I just wanted some carbs. The food was interesting. The duck was great. I loved the sauce on the truffle gnocchi... but i swear i didn't see the gnocchi or tasted it in my mouth. Our party definitely debated whether we were just uncultured or if there really wasn't any gnocchi. The salad and chicken nuggets were good.

    Came into The Morris and went straight for the duck -- no regrets. Super clean plate overall. The duck was the standout: rich, perfectly cooked, not greasy, just solid flavor all the way through. Paired it with some bread, charcuterie, pickled veggies on the side -- everything felt balanced, nothing overdone. You can tell they know what they're doing here. Simple, but executed right. Easy 5 stars.

    We ate at The Morris for dinner on Tuesday. The chicken nuggets were... alarmingly small. The two tiny corndog looking things were the entire $14 dish. While delicious, they had us worried we didn't order enough food. They do an extremely tasty and simple charcuterie plate. I enjoyed our selections and the portions were large for two. I would have liked to have more people to try more things but what we had (pate, brillat savarin cheese and the chicken liver mousse) were delicious. The little gem salad was tasty but... I hate to say this because I normally don't have enough dressing... but there was too much dressing. I think it just needed to be slightly more tossed... The half duck platter was delightful - great veggies, great duck au jus, and the meat was tender and flavorful. I really enjoyed this and it would translate well to a large format dinner. Dessert was buckwheat donuts which were delicious although softer than I was expecting. I would definitely go back. (But likely would skip the fries, Brussels sprouts and the chicken nuggets - first off, we over ordered and second the fries were only ok, the Brussels sprouts were good but the main had lots of veggies, and the chicken nuggets were tasty but ttiiiinnyyy.)

    The Morris offers outdoor dining that's perfect if you want to bring your dog. They provide blankets and heat lamps to keep you warm on those chilly San Francisco nights. Parking isn't too bad--there's plenty of street parking, though it can get a little scarce later in the evening, especially on weekends. Service was excellent. Even though I made a last-minute reservation for an outdoor table, the staff kindly offered me a spot inside. I'm grateful. Our server was incredibly attentive and never made us feel rushed. One unique touch: their house wine is charged by how much you drink, which is great if you just want a little. They're also thoughtful about portions and won't let you over-order, perfect if your eyes tend to be bigger than your stomach. The food was outstanding. The chocolate pudding is a must-try, and you can even get a half order of the donuts if you want to order two desserts. The charred broccoli with squid is delicious--truly a feast of flavors. And, of course, don't miss their famous smoked duck and charcuterie board.

    The famous Chartreuse slushie! It was definitely fun to drink.

    All in all I think The Morris is a fine experience and worth the buzz. I'm not sure it's a hall of famer but it's a very nice spot with good service and good food, so there's not a lot not to like. I had been a very long time ago (over 10 years ago) and I remember thinking it was good but not great. Last week I was reading an article on Chartreuse, which I love, and was startled to see this place called out as one of the great spots for it in the country. Who knew? I of course immediately booked a reservation. I had the famed Chartreuse slushy and I did like it a lot. The shaved ice dilutes the flavor of the Chartreuse but there's enough of it in every sip to make it a very pleasurable libation. A buddy and I shared a Little Gems salad (loaded with very tasty bacon lardon chunks that were not too salty or fatty), chicken nuggets, I think Crudites, the famous half duck and some fries. Everything tasted pretty good. I did love the plethora of fresh, tasty grilled vegetables that appear throughout the menu. My only criticisms. would be the chicken nuggets were two tiny bits on skewers, each the size of a large almond. They were tasty but for a small biteful I did not see the value in it at all and wouldn't order it again. The duck was pretty good. Most duck is fatty and this was too, not much can be done about that. It was definitely smoked and cooked beautifully and the best part was the breast in the middle. I wish the entire entree could have been that but then of course it would have been 5 times the price. Service was on point and professional. Drinks were pretty good. This is somewhere between 4 and 5 stars but I'm going with 5 because my criticisms are outweighed by the quality of everything else.

    The Chicory and beets salad was a great starter.

    We had a fantastic night. Enjoying a great ambiance, music and lighting. From starter to ending, all the plates were amazing and flavorful. Service was good and effective.

    We stopped for drinks and snacks last Friday but ended up staying much longer than initially planned, because it was all just so good! I'll start off with saying it is pricey, but if worth it if you can go. Personally I had the Pom Queen which is N/A by default but they will add a spirit to it if asked, and it was super refreshing and light. My second drink was something with coconut / pineapple, like a much more adult pina colada but again, total knockout. The wines are also good and they have an impressive selection. The snacks and desserts, of which we thought we would only get one or two things, are also amazing. Delicious fries, good selection of cheeses, knockout pudding / salty cookie and the doughnuts. The cherry on top was they are dog-friendly outside, have plenty of heaters, and the service was top-notch!!

    Long time patriot, first time reviewer. I love The Morris. Paul has great sidewalk parties. Gavin is the best and Chevis always comes over to say hello. Booked this place for a late bday din with some girlfriends. Never disappointed in any of the staples or the rotating feast of goodies. The new try: Chicken Nuggets with caviar ranch. So tasty!! The duck NEVER disappoints. And I love that they have Rize Up sourdough. I started buying Azikiwee's during lockdown and he always warms this bread lovers soul. Other notes: get the chartreuse slushie. Always a hit!

    Charcuterie at their special poulet frites lunch

    One of my absolute favorite restaurants in SF, and the special poulet frites lunch was amazing and reminded me why I love them so much. Always wowed by the food. Consistently great. Best to order a number of dishes to share so you can try more things (or go to a poulet frites lunch and try the house-made charcuterie, salads, desserts...). The wine wows as well. And the chartreuse slushy! Sitting outside is always a delight. This place is special, and it's clear how much care and thought goes into every dish, wine and detail. The Morris is a gift to San Francisco!

    half smoked duck
    Maria M.

    I went here earlier in the month for an intimate celebratory dinner. The service was splendid but the duck skin was rather chewy. I understand that duck is their specialty but the skin was very hard to get through even if I had sawn through it and chewed it a ton. Perhaps this is just my personal preference. The Melville wine was good but the white wine we had (the name is escaping me, i think it was the sur la nez?) was realllly nice. These wines were recommended by the waiter/sommelier based on what we had ordered so those wines paired nicely.

    Mushroom Profiteroles
    Kunalan S.

    The Morris' is an intimate dining experience without feeling cramped and allowing for easy movement. The washroom is unique, but a bit of a gimmick. While most dishes offer fair value, the small bites section (dubbed "nibbles") falls short, with portions that feel precious for their price point. Chicken Nuggets: The menu's inclusion of chicken nuggets amused me, and I just had to try them. The nuggets deliver an unexpected sophistication. The coating wasn't crispy, but deliciously light and airy. The meat was made of juicy chicken thigh instead of a homogeneous meat mixture. Unfortunately, I found the caviar ranch too rich, and added an unwanted fishiness. I would have been more satisfied without the ranch. Mushroom Profiteroles: The profiterole itself was not that great, far too dense for my liking. The mushroom filling was great though! Extremely robust and meaty, punctuated by assertive black pepper that added a welcome warmth to each bite. Charcuterie: The highlight of the night for me. Based off the portion sizes of our previous dishes, I expected this to be a small sampling of each item. Imagine my surprise when we were served a gargantuan platter of meats! The selection demonstrated both breadth and depth: pâté offered rich complexity, salamis delivered varying degrees of spice, and mortadella was silky-smooth. Each component spoke to a different flavor profile and texture. Charred Broccoli and Squid: This vegetable dish was rejuvenating after the heaps of meat and fat. The dish's bright acidity acted as a palate cleanser and cut through the richness of the preceeding plates. This acidic backbone was reinforced by a satisfying heat. Fries: Pretty mediocre fries to be honest. The aioli was addictively good. Bavette Steak: A pretty disappointing steak. I prefer a steak with a well-developed crust, and this one was flaccid. The red wine sauce was fine, but nothing to write home about. Grilled Pork: I found this a bit lacking. It was also super fatty, and the meat had some toughness I did not appreciate. Smoked Duck: This was probably the dish I was most looking forward to, and my expectations were not met. The duck was competently smoked and cooked to appropriate doneness, but lacked the succulence I expected. However, the accompaniments were exceptional. I loved all the vegetables, and I especially loved the honey-espresso jus! Buckwheat Donuts: Magnificent. The use of buckwheat flour elevates these pastries, imparting a subtle nuttiness and robust texture. The donuts are well-spiced, and pair beautifully with the provided dip. An absolutely wonderful dessert.

    I haven't felt this conflicted about a restaurant in a long while. I've been wanting to cross this place off my SF list, and I confess that I had high hopes. The thing is, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't unforgettable either. The service was fantastic! Everyone was genuinely kind--our server was so polite. Now, the food... I felt like something was missing, though I couldn't quite put my finger on it. We could definitely taste the amount of labor behind every dish, but not a single one truly stood out. At this price point, it's definitely a special-occasion place (for my budget, anyway). For the amount we paid, I expected an unforgettable meal, and it just wasn't quite there. Would I return? I don't think so, simply because there are too many other places in San Francisco to discover.

    Charcuterie including Mortadella and Duck Prosciutto at The Morris.
    Danny K.

    The Morris is an upscale restaurant in the Mission that got quite busy on Saturday night. Only outdoor reservations were available but the patio is covered and heated. Their charcuterie menu can be ordered individually for $15 dollars, 5 items for $50, or all options for $75. Me and my friend ordered two individual portions of Mortadella and Duck Prosciutto along with their sourdough bread and butter. The sourdough was perfect - spongy on the inside and a thin dense caramelized rustic crust. The mortadella was a bit heavy on salt but once I sampled it with some pickled vegetables, it cancelled out the salt and left the flavor of the meat and pimento. The duck prosciutto took longer to hit the taste buds. Fat and salt followed by a subtle duck flavor. I also ordered a Chartreuse Slush, which had a nice sublime citrus and floral flavor. As it melted, a puddle formed around the glass. For our entrees, we ordered and shared the Heirloom Tomato Salad with pickled Chanterelles along with the Little Gem Salad. The tomatoes were plump and tangy. It had an interesting caprese-like taste minus the mozzarella. It was definitely a good amount of food. As we were wrapping up the meal, we ordered the Buckwheat Donuts and I got myself a cappuccino to keep myself up at the Rival Consoles show at Gray Area. I immediately picked up hints of cumin and cinnamon in the donuts, an interesting combination to say the least. I really enjoyed the vibe of the relaxed outdoor patio. I would definitely come back to try more dishes including the duck.

    Lore's Wonderland escape room was a fun and delightfully whimsical experience. **This review is…read moremainly for the escape room, as we did not order any additional drinks outside of the escape room.** THE SPACE // Lore Speakeasy and Escape Room has cool themed decor everywhere, from the dimly-lit speakeasy/bar room in front, to the Middle Earth/Lord of the Rings-themed board game room, to the individual bathrooms, and of course the escape room's multiple Alice in Wonderland-themed rooms. Clearly a lot of effort went into building these rooms and evoking a certain vibe for each. THE ESCAPE ROOM // The puzzles in the escape room varied in difficulty - some required us to think a bit more, some required our observational skills to work harder, and others required a light level of physical skill/movement. We were perplexed a few times but never got stuck for too long, as the White Rabbit (played by Phoenix, the live actor/puzzle master) would jump in occasionally to provide clues over the speaker or in person. It took us about 1 hr 20 min to finish the entire escape room; I thought the pacing was good. THE [ESCAPE ROOM] DRINKS // Lore's escape room experience comes with "a flight of themed cocktails or mocktails, including "potion"-style drinks that are integrated into the experience as you progress", per the website. We got to choose one cocktail/mocktail option (Korean Cold Noodles) from a list on the website, and the other two drinks are pre-selected to supposedly fit into the Wonderland theme, with the flavors described online as "berry" and "peach". You can get both cocktail and mocktails for your party, in case some people want alcohol and others don't. We all enjoyed the flavor of the Korean Cold Noodles cocktail, which was refreshing and surprisingly a bit minty in the mocktail version. However, we didn't like the two other two pre-selected themed drinks as much. The "berry" drink gave us cherry cough syrup vibes, and the cocktail version of it was quite strong. The "peach" mocktail drink reminded me of canned fruit syrup; we also were missing the two cocktail versions, though we decided not to ask for them as the mocktail version already was less than impressive. One other missed expectation here was the size of the drinks that we received in the escape room. We were expecting full-sized cocktails, like what they serve in the speakeasy in front. Instead, we found out that the drinks are served in small "vials". Given the size of the drinks in the escape room, combined with us not even enjoying two out of the three drinks, I would preferred to go through the escape room without the drinks at all, and likely pay a bit less for the escape room then. OVERALL // I'd still recommend the escape room as a good one-time experience with a date/friends/family. Just don't expect too much from the included themed drinks! The speakeasy drinks on the main menu do sound unique/tasty, so I might come back again to try those sometime.

The shishito peppers ended up being extremely spicy as well, those are usually just a few spicy and not the majority. The roasted lemon and salt was a wonderful combo but just too spicy to eat.

Delicious med-soft crostini with luscious berries and sweet honey. I didn't care my hands got sticky as it was soooo good!

    We stumbled upon Third Rail after watching a basketball game at Chase Center, and it ended up being…read moresuch a gem! The atmosphere was great. It was busy on a Saturday night without feeling overwhelming and the whole place had a really fun relaxed energy to it. The staff was also fantastic and super helpful with all of our questions. We tried an Old Fashioned and the Third Rail cocktail, which was similar to a sour, and both were phenomenal. Seriously some amazing drinks. We didn't get a chance to try any of their jerky this time around, but we'll definitely be back for it!

    I've been coming to Third Rail regularly for over two years and have always enjoyed the cocktails…read moreand atmosphere. Under the previous ownership, the staff was incredibly accommodating. When they removed my favorite Polar Bear-style drink from the menu, they were happy to let me bring over a fresh shot of espresso from the neighboring café so they could recreate it. Yesterday, under the new ownership, I was told I "technically can't" bring in an outside shot of espresso and that they couldn't make the drink. I understand businesses can change their policies, and that's their prerogative. What disappointed me was the way it was communicated. As a longtime, loyal customer, the interaction felt unnecessarily rigid and unwelcoming rather than customer-focused. It's unfortunate because I've recommended this bar to many people over the years, but after today's experience, it doesn't feel like the same place.

    ~4.5/5, best not-too-sweet matcha in sf fidi area this is a…read morereview just for the matcha/morning cafe to-go; hope to update review for the food since it's been a while.. I've been here several times since their first opening and through their numerous cup changes. I can say the matcha is consistently good, and glad the cup size is bigger :) Matcha einspanner is great, the latte is not sweet and you can taste the matcha quality, milk proportions are just right. Einspanner cream is delicious too and a sweet treat paired with the latte, and topped with matcha powder.

    Omg genuinely such a beautiful and amazing cafe!…read more I had to try the matcha einspanner because it was so popular on tiktok! And wow was it delicious. The vanilla foam with kinako powder was SOOO good. The barista recommended us to eat the cream separately from drinking the matcha and omg that was life changing!! I've never tasted cream top this good, it did not have any milk/cheese taste! It also wasn't too sweet. The matcha itself was pretty strong, but not the best matcha quality I've had personally. Don't get me wrong, it was still really good! The hot hojicha latte was also good and strong, but nothing too special unlike the matcha einspanner. Matcha einspanner definitely the star of the show :) Space was beautiful and so aesthetic, it was bar vibes! At night they do serve cocktails :) Service was also amazing, workers were so kind! I NEEED to come back to try the dinner menu!!!!
