We appreciate considerate and efficient service at the Rotunda. Our sandwiches were tasty and huge. It is such a beautiful setting and viewing the Union Square Christmas tree put us in the holiday mood.

The tasting menu at Trestle is simple and excellent. The pricing of it is a great value. We really appreciated the service charge and Healthy SF fees listed up front. The service is really excellent. What a treat and a great bargain as well.

What a find! Food choices were great- love the fact they are shareable as it's hard sometimes for my wife and me to try different things at a restaurant with individual/full portions. Quality was excellent as dishes are innovative, accurately described, and tasty. Don't pass on the caviar potato cloud (insider tip- order one for yourself instead of sharing)! And the drinks are also innovative and quite balanced in their flavor profiles!

Recently had my birthday dinner here with a party of 7. It was truly wonderful. Highly attentive and friendly service from start to finish and the owner even stopped by to greet us and wish me happy birthday. We ordered nearly all the appetizers and loved them all, the lobster arancini was a universally loved option. Mains were also excellent, especially the pork chop and the risotto with scallops. Throughout our meal we worked through several bottles of wine which were chosen by their sommelier, who was delightful. We all left happy, well fed, and I can't wait to return!
