    I hosted a group of 8 for a business dinner at Per Diem this past week. I thought the service was very good and our server bent over backwards to accommodate our group. The food was very good as well, I think everyone really enjoyed their meal. The nice thing about this place is, you feel very comfortable and the atmosphere is easy going and not too hyped up. Which allowed everyone to have a good conversation.

    I am very happy Per Diem survived the pandemic. I had lunch with a friend and noticed other patrons were having work lunches. I appreciate the San Francisco dark wood ambience, my tri-tip sandwich was very good and the service was welcoming and relaxed.

    Per diem never fails to please. This is my go-to spot downtown for business lunches. The ambiance is great, it’s easy to find/accessible, prices are reasonable, and the noise level is just right.

    They clearly were understaffed. Several parties of four or more upstairs with only one waitperson and a bus person. My guess it was a lot of walk ins. Absent that it was good

    A very pleasant surprise for our family group of 3 on our first visit to Per Diem. Wonderfully charming ambience and warm lighting, with great wood and leather decor. We loved the service of our waiter (Juan) and the menu was great. We enjoyed everything we ordered, and had a very enjoyable evening. We will definitely return!!
