- TTerrySan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI thoroughly enjoyed the Tina Tartare stack. The addition of crunchy pear to the avocado was wonderfully creative. We’ve been coming for years and hope you never change the consommé popover with strawberry butter. Delicious as well as elegant.More infoThe Rotunda at Neiman Marcus - San FranciscoPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown / Union Square•4.8

- BBarbaraVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •63 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 26, 2024It was a nice, quiet festive atmosphere for Christmas Day dinner for our family of 4 adults. We had the prix fix menu. The onion soup was excellent and so were the beet/goat cheese salads. We started with tasty warm bread rolls and truffle butter and a glass of sparkling wine (included). 3 had the prime rib and our vegetarian daughter had the pea risotto. The other choice was salmon. Dessert was molten chocolate lava cake with ice cream. Delicious and decadent. A nice evening out. Service was attentive and efficient. Thank you!More infoNob Hill Club at the Mark HopkinsPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Nob Hill•4
