Restaurants near AMSI Hayes Valley

Our lunch today was simply outstanding. Classic Zuni Cafe .....low-key quality and consistency. Delicious oysters; memorable lemonade; the best hearth baked bread and butter; a citrus salad that tasted incredible; an always tasty cheese burger; and (drum roll) a citrus Pavlova that we hoped would never end. So Great! So Zuni!

Small plates of veggies and seafood - perfect for us. Quiet place for conversation and reasonable value.

Facebook Post: An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Nightbird ✨🍽️😋 Just had an absolutely outstanding dinner at Nightbird! 🌟 Every dish was a work of art, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. 🥂 The caviar tart was an explosion of oceanic flavors—the cream elevated the taste, making each bite even more indulgent. The chef also incorporated Asian elements like mochi (麻糬) and bamboo shoots (竹筍) into some dishes, creating unique and delicious combinations. 🐚 The sea scallop was perfectly seared and seasoned just right, while the butternut squash tart was savory, rich, and utterly satisfying. 🍰 To top it all off, the desserts were incredibly thoughtful—three Western-style desserts echoed the first three courses, beautifully paired with cognac 🥃. It was the perfect combination! It’s no surprise that Nightbird has earned its Michelin star—every bite was exceptional! If you’re looking for a refined and innovative dining experience, I highly recommend it! ❤️

Fantastic! My first time eating here in years, and the food and overall experience were even better than I remembered. The meats are all perfectly seasoned, hot, and freshly seared -- one member of our party wanted beef that was a little more well-done, and they made it special for her. Salad / appetizer bar is one of the best in the city. Service was friendly and fun. Would definitely come back.

Very accommodating staff, food was very good, good location for Opera, Symphony, etc
