This is a true Italian culinary experience, the food and the waitstaff are amazing. Love of garlic is a must, the seafood is beautifully fresh and the pasta is perfectly al dente. The waiters are fantastic. Always super friendly and accomodating. I have eaten there many times and always find mys...
I have to agree with the other review on this site. The service is the worst! We, however, stayed around for the food, which was OK but terribly overpriced.
Expect a pleasant, enjoyable experience here. The food and service will entice you to join the "regulars" that keep coming back for great lunches and dinners.
Food: splendido. Service: simpatico. So glad we discovered this little gem on our way to Cinearts. Try it!
THE FOOD AT THIS PLACE ROCKS! ITS A CHINESE BUFFET LINE JUST LIKE PANDA EXPRESS AND IS EXTREMELY BUSY AT LUNCH TIME. TRY THE FOOD AND YOU WILL KNOW WHY! THE AMBIENCE AND THE INTERIOR DECORATING REALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO BE DESIRED, BUT GET IT TO GO AND GO EAT IN THE PARK!
I had heard that this was the number one Italian restaurant in the city. I have since corrected those who misinformed me. The service of the entire staff that we encountered, from hostess to floor manager, was so bad that we did not stick around for the food. I had never before experienced such a...
Fantastico! Molto grazie to the nice Italian guys who served my food. Save room for dessert.
I wholeheartedly agree with the previous review. The food here is superb, especially the fish cooked "en papillote" (in parchment with fresh herbs and sliced vegetables). Also try the lobster bisque...very nice. But perhaps the best part of HSSH is the staff. Henry is an exceptionally warm and invit...
This well-positioned restaurant focuses on freshness by using California seasonal vegetables in their cuisine and fruits in the desserts. Enjoy comfort foods like the perennial favorite the onion-ringed stacked roasted chicken on a bed of smooth mashed potatoes or the soy-glazed halibut. Avoid the f...
When I honeymooned in San Francisco last year, my husband and I found this little cafe a few blocks from our hotel. We were so impressed, that we ate there every morning at 9:30 sharp over the next 7 days. The blueberry pancakes are made with fresh blueberries right in the mix...and the omelets ar...
I love this restaurant. Fish baked in paper is the specialty. If you love light and airy fish cooked to perfection then consider Hyde Street. It's all about the food. And Henry is a great host. Call ahead, it's always busy.
I just love the location of this restaurant. Right on the bay, with full view of the Bay Bridge and Treasure Island. The food was excellent and the ambiance romantic and cozy. Great place to go with a date or even have a business lunch or dinner.
The food was very good, a little pricy, but worth it. The service was the best. The waiters were attentive and friendly. The decor is gorgeous and the view is nice. I'd definitely recommend the Empress to friends visiting the area.
This place was amazing. Great food, the best Wine list I have seen anywhere and very cool ambience.
Great location, the food is very tasty. Tell a friend for a nice evening out.
I think Blondies is great. Fun for the whole family. Great food, nice people, and great atmosphere.
I've been here a few times. The food is pretty good but the wait (for the food) is looong. I think all of the times I went there me and my friends had to wait for like 20 minutes. And the women's bathroom can be very unclean.
I think the restaurant is pretty nice. The only reason that I gave them 2 stars on cleanliness is because of the women's rest room. But outside in the dinning area is fine.
Over all a great place, David the bartender is great, he served us sake martinis--very good choice. Sushi is good, steaks are great, crab martini-creative and tasty
We eat in this restaurant about once a week. Why? The service is perfect. The waiters are polished, professional, completely trustworthy to take care of our needs just at the right time, and they are personable and warm human beings. It is like they are all the owners. The dining room has so ma...
