- KKenSan Francisco Bay Area •10 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOur reservation was honored on time. My spouse ordered sand dabs and I had a salmon salad with clam chowder. Everything was excellent tasting and well prepared. Dessert was carrot cake which was a generous portion, also excellent. Service was great, getting us on time to get to a performance on time.More infoHayes Street GrillPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Civic Center / Hayes Valley / Van Ness•4.7
- RRuthvipSan Francisco Bay Area •156 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe love this reliably delicious restaurant. I just wish that this and other restaurants in the area were open later. We were able to go after the symphony this evening only because it was a short concert, but usually the opera and symphony conclude too late for us to have dinner here. I realize restaurants are reluctant to commit to later hours given concerns over demand, but I think the ones in this neighborhood would do better business if they did so. We love to eat in this area after a performance, and this is one of the better options. The food is decadently delicious, the atmosphere is cozy and elegant, and the service has never disappointed. They know what they're doing.More infoAbsinthe Brasserie and Bar - SFPrice: Expensive• French• Civic Center / Hayes Valley / Van Ness•4.8

- TTerrySan Francisco Bay Area •106 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoOne of those dining experiences where you think "why have I not been here sooner?" We came for lunch could not have been more pleased. Started with empanadas, then shared the Havana Salad and fried chicken sandwich, all of which is superb. A neighboring table ordered the fried chicken, which had us both looking forward to our next visit.
