Amazing food seating limited and loud restaurant; however, that can also shown to look to the quality of service and the deliciousness of the food served. Overall customer service was amazing and food was amazing. Not a big restaurant though.

Our favorite restaurant in San Francisco. Whenever we’re in town we come multiple times. We ALWAYS leave happier than when we came. The food (try the pork chop, if it’s on the menu, with a glass of Pinot noir), service and vibe are consistently rave worthy. NOPA is the very definition of what a restaurant should be and is - gracious hospitality and delicious food in a wonderful setting. We’ll be back! Thank you.
