    This review is for the main dining room. My friend is a member of this club and she invited me to…read morehave dinner with her at the main dining room. Two of us shared 3 appetizers, each of us had a main (so 2 main dishes), total of 3 glasses of champagne, and 2 desserts, total ~$390. Almost $200 per person. Champagne, I did splurge and got the most expensive glass they had ($55). It's a blended champagne with different years of champagne and the staff member explained all the back stories about the champagne offered during the evening and this one intrigued me. If you do come in early, you will see a staff member doing a sabrage. I have been cutting alcohol consumption but I got persuaded to give this a try! It is a very very delicious champagne. Now into the food. Hamachi crudo - it is a very delightful and well-executed starter. The thickness of the hamachi is just right and the caviar and apples are definitely the perfect compliments highlight the flavor of hamachi and balance the richness in hamachi. Steak tartare - it has a lighter fare to it. The meat was cut into a micro dices/cube rather than finely minced in a traditional way. The crostini is super thin as well. I personally prefer a more rich and decadent steak tartare but I also think this lighter version will have their supporters too. (Honestly, I think if you are in GLP-1 and need to increase your protein intake but not having a large appetite, this would be the perfect dish to have. lol!) Octopus - I highly recommend this appetizer, especially during the June Gloom time when you want a warm, hearty, and flavorful starter. Not only the octopus was grilled to perfection, it has this delicious roasted potatoes, chorizo mash(?) , and one of the best chimichurri I've ever had. I can see myself coming back here just to get this dish. My friend got the black cod - she had it over the weekend and enjoyed it so much that she had to have it again. Risotto - this is the one that I just think it's just OK. I love the idea - using the spicy flavorful cioppino as a stock to cook the risotto. But I'm quite disappointed by the amount of seafood served in this $40 risotto. The portion, honestly, feels like a primo rather than the main course. If you have a small appetite, yea, you can get around with it as your main. But this is the same price as the black cod - I expect to get more rice and get way more seafood since mussels, clams, and shrimps that were placed on the risotto are on the tiny side... so I honestly don't think it's worth the price. It is delicious - don't get me wrong. But I just won't pay $40 next time again for it. Dessert, my friend got a scope of ice-cream. I was recommended to have the strawberry cheesecake and it was definitely a very solid dessert. At first I thought it's just a slice of cheesecake topped with strawberry. But the staff explained the dessert to me and I gave this a try. It is a deconstructed strawberry cheesecake but I do think the pastry chef did a great job celebrating strawberry cheesecake! The cheesecake was formed into a chocolate bon bon with a shape like a strawberry. It's served with this roasted strawberries sauce and the graham cracker crumbs tie everything together. I am a little bit surprised to see this type of dessert as I wouldn't think they would hire a pastry chef... they might just keep it simple with ice-cream and sorbet, or source really well-made dessert elsewhere. But it seems like they do have a pastry chef in-house. So definitely save room to give the dessert offering a try as well! Was the service great? Yes. Was the food good? Yes. But I just don't think it's enough to justify paying $2K of initiation fee + $3K of annual membership fee in order to have the delicious food here at the main dining room. There are other places in the city that offer attentive services with delicious food out there for the similar price range. I'm rounding up the rating to four because I see the staff here doing their best to make this dining room to provide this low-key luxurious dining experience for their members. However, if you do need an access to a venue to host parties/gatherings within your social group, or to be part of a social club to build your professional and personal network, I can see the value to joining this club. But I just won't pay $5K just to come here for food/drink unless I see a bigger discount at the restaurant. For now, I think the price is fairly comparable to other expensive steakhouse/high-end restaurant in the city that doesn't have a Michelin star. At this point, I just hope my friend who is a member will continue taking me out there for dinner in the future ;)

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.

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.

From the moment you walk through the doors, the club has a luxurious yet welcoming atmosphere. The décor is elegant, the space is impeccably maintained, and the overall environment is both professional and sophisticated--exactly what you'd expect from a premier private club in San Francisco. A special shout-out to Jessey, the bartender, who made the experience exceptional. Jessey was friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. The cocktails were perfectly crafted, and the level of hospitality made me feel like I belonged, even as a guest. It's clear that providing outstanding service is a priority here. Whether you're meeting clients, enjoying a drink with friends, or simply looking for an upscale place to unwind, The Amador Club delivers. The combination of a refined atmosphere, exceptional service, and outstanding staff makes it a place I would happily visit again. If this is the experience as a guest, I can only imagine how great it is to be a member. Highly recommended!

    1 star. And honestly that feels generous. I went to Amador…read morethinking "private members club" meant quality, standards, at least basic professionalism. I was there with a few of my Mexican friends and what we experienced was easily one of the worst dining experiences of my life. Let's start with the food. I ordered a shrimp cocktail. What I got looked like it had been sitting out way too long. The shrimp smelled off. Not "maybe it's just seafood" off -- actually rotten. And they didn't even clean it properly. The vein was still fully attached on multiple pieces. That's basic prep. Basic. I took a few bites trying to convince myself it was fine, and within minutes I felt sick and had to run to the bathroom. Yes, actually sick. At a so-called private club charging premium prices. Speaking of the bathroom -- disgusting. Dirty floors, nasty smell, looked like it hadn't been properly cleaned in who knows how long. For a place trying to sell exclusivity and luxury, the restroom alone tells you everything you need to know about how they operate. Now let's talk about the prices. Completely outrageous. The kind of pricing where you expect white-glove service and flawless execution. Instead you get low quality seafood and a bathroom that feels like a gas station on a bad highway stop. But the worst part wasn't even the food. We brought the issue up to one of the managers -- Catarina I think. I've rarely met someone so dismissive and obnoxious in hospitality. Instead of apologizing or trying to resolve the issue professionally, she became defensive and rude almost immediately. Then it escalated into something much worse. She made racist comments toward my Mexican friends and used slurs. Completely unacceptable. We were stunned. In 2026, at a private club, from management. That alone tells you the culture of this place. No accountability. No class. No professionalism. A private club is supposed to make you feel welcomed and valued. Amador did the exact opposite. Bad food, filthy facilities, inflated prices, and management that behaves in a way that should embarrass the entire establishment. Save your money. Save your time. And definitely save your health. Never again. 1/5.

And this is just the beginning. The expansion plans are impressive and well laid out on the website and in the inner entryway. Can't wait to go back. Met more likeminded and fun people in two hours here than over the last two months. What a pleasant and unpretentious take of social spa-going. PS: as photographed, also learned about karma. And not in some enlightened sense, but the simple fact that if you beg the proprietress to up the heat in the sauna with a splash of water in hour one... she might come back while you're four minutes into your cold plunge with a three to five pound bag of ice.
