   We were a party of 7. Cocktails, appetizers and 2 bottles of Sangiovese was excellent! Burger and fried chicken most popular!

   Food is always great. Unfortunately service was not. Good luck in your move. Hope to try the new location once open.

   Amazing service, very detailed, smooth, direct, and timely from service to food runner. I ordered a side car and salmon entree that was notable compared to other restaurant experiences. Can't wait to return on my next trip! Loved the decor and ambiance, too!

   Food and service is excellent. Can’t go wrong with what’s on the menu, and the ambience and history of the building of this restaurant makes it even more fascinating. Had to eat here one last time before they move but will frequent the new location as well.

   Good experience. Small menu options, but what they offered was excellent! I had steak madiera. VERY PLEASED!! Our server, Sasha, was attentive and helpful. The dining area is earthy and masculine. Very good wine selection, at least, in my rather inexperienced opinion. I’d recommend going, if you are in the SF area and looking for a solid choice on lunch or dinner.

   We live Wayfare tavern and it’s a must do on our list whenever we come to San Francisco. We have probably been to this spot over a handful of times over the past ten years. The food is always on point and just as I remember from the previous time. The pop overs are delicious and drinks are great as well. We have sat at the bar, upstairs and outside, each offering a different vibe, but all are great. I see some reviews about the noise level and the level of service declining. I was paying attention to that on our most recent visit and didn’t feel that way at all. My husband noted that he enjoys that you can sort of lock into your own world and conversation, but also hear a little hustle and bustle that makes an efficient kitchen run while downstairs. It’s refreshing, while not overwhelming or stuffy. I love this place and it has held up to our expectations each time and will continue to be on our must visit list!
