Restaurants near St Mary Square

I absolutely love Trestle and will continue to keep it in the rotation when I'm visiting San Francisco. Absolutely exceptional in all directions - fabulous concept, top notch ingredients, thoughtful menu, and impeccable execution by an outstanding staff.

The view is spectacular. The drinks are quite good. The appetizers are over-priced, small, and not very interesting. The worst part is the very loud music that you need to yell over. We left our reservation early and headed over to a bar up the hill called Summer Place where there was no view, but the drinks were better and the vibe was friendlier.

We love the food and vibe here and keep coming back. The popovers are an incredible treat. But the best part of every experience is when Andres (busser extraordinaire) comes to the table. His smile is so big, bright and contagious, you can’t help but feel extra happy! He’s the best part of any evening!

As always I say- a sure bet you will be pleased. As a Native San Franciscan, many years of eating here.

Overall had a great experience and meal at the vault. The heaters were the perfect temp. I chose the restaurant based on location near the Jay hotel and menu offerings. The crab dip was fantastic. The fried brussel sprouts were a bit burned. The risotto had great texture but I wasn't a fan of the mushrooms but that was personal taste. Overall a pleasant experience. Will try the Vault steak house next time in the city.
