This is a very special place unlike any other. The food, the service are all first class in an old school style that is very much missed. Where else can you have your dessert and coffee at intermission with your table held for you? If you're attending the opera or ballet at the Opera House, please take advantage of this wonderful restaurant.

Buffet offerings were quite limited given the price, drinks were overpriced (for the unglamorous venue at any rate), and dessert selection uninspired and pricey (no desserts provided at the buffet). Won’t be back.

We finally decided to try the Prelude Opera House Restaurant in the lower lounge of the War Memorial Auditorium before the San Francisco Ballet. What a great experience! It was lovely, delicious, and easy to have dinner there. My husband had the buffet dinner, loved the variety of food, and thought it was delicious. I had the Prelude Seafood Salad off the la carte menu, and also thought it was delicious. We wanted to have dessert at the first intermission, and ordered a dessert and 2 wines from our waiter that were then waiting at the same table for us at intermission. What a great evening that began with the lovely and easy dinner at the Prelude. We will definitely do this again.

My friend and I have dined here many times previously and enjoyed the convenience as well as the food. But! All that changed this season. Sadly, they have changed their menu and the food just wasn’t good…. My friend ordered the seafood salad and the salmon was seriously overcooked… dry and no flavor, overdressed lettuce and sad tomatoes… all in all quite terrible. I had the salmon avocado toast that was better but an odd main course option. They used to offer some winning dishes that aren’t on the menu anymore (such as a prawn option that was delicious - the current prawn dish isn’t even close!). To be fair, I gave it 2 stars solely because the service was outstanding with gracious, pleasant servers and waitstaff. I don’t, however, think we’ll be returning. Very disappointing.

The buffet cost of $65 was WAY TOO HIGH for the value. Don't waste your money.

Decided to order from the A La Carte menu: Prelude Seafood Salad: The salmon was not fresh, and the mayonnaise had been mixed with the vegetables long before serving, compromising the dish’s freshness. Tofu Tartare: The ingredients were unevenly cut, making it difficult to serve or eat as intended. As soon as the knife touched the food, it crumbled into a pile. Vanilla Tres Leches: The banana was supposed to be flambéed, but it wasn’t. It appeared as though the banana had never been in a pan, and caramel sauce was simply poured over the fruit. Service: The busboy spilled water all over the table while refilling glasses and neither noticed nor acknowledged it. When an elderly member of our party stood up to go to the bathroom, her napkin fell and tangled around her feet. The busboy, who was right there, didn’t offer to assist her. Our waitress approached us to take our order almost immediately after we sat down. I politely told him we needed a few minutes to settle and review the menu. He appeared annoyed and walked away. When he returned shortly after, we still needed more time, and his frustration was visible. For the rest of the evening, he checked on us only once with the standard, "How's everything?" Conclusion: For the premium prices the restaurant charges, the quality of the food and service needs significant improvement. Fresh ingredients, better preparation, and attentive service should be standard at this price point. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations in multiple areas.

This was our first time dining here, considering the many options available in the city. However, the convenience of being in the same building as the performance made it a practical choice this time. The food was enjoyable, and we appreciated having coffee and dessert during intermission. While the meal was satisfactory, the location made it an ideal spot for a convenient and relaxed pre-show experience.

We all loved the buffet, the salads were fresh and healthy and tasty! All of the food was artfully presented, and delicious! We love the experience at Prelude at the Opera and always look forward to having lunch there. The wait staff is so friendly and kind, it's like meeting up with old friends. Thanks for the great time!

In this country even the humblest of dinner buffets includes a dessert course in the pricing. Chopped cheese does not suffice. Would expect better of this organization in this city.
