Best Restaurants with a Scenic View in North Beach

Overall our experience was really good. We encountered a glitch when checking in, they did not have that our reservation was for a birthday celebration. I had to bring it to their attention and immediately we were seated as VIP for the celebration.. There was also a party with children which were a bit over engertic but calmed down about 20 minutes to being seated. The parents were apologetic after they ate. Linda was our wait person and she provided excellent service to us and made sure our son was acknowledged for his big day. It has been a while being there but clearly a tourist attraction and dining pleasure.

This is our annual holiday luncheon and it did not disappoint. Ralph’s service was Impeccable and the food was delicious. The soup of the day (porcini mushrooms with chestnut) was divine. Looking forward to next year at table # 45. 🦋

If I could rate a place 5+ stars, COQUETA would be the place to get that ranking. Every. Single. Tapas. Dish. We. Had. Was. Astoundingly. Good. From the Bocadillo La Casa “Bikini” to the Patatas Bravas to the Calabacines a la Brasa... this is one of the very few places that was SO good, we ordered more after that initial trio just to experience more of the menu. Drink-wise, the cocktails are some of the best I've had in the city - creative, delicious, beautifully presented, and memorable. This entire dining experience is one I won't forget. Thank you!

Absolutely fantastic! Our server was so attentive, just like waiters in every restaurant used to be in the old days. He seemed genuinely interested to engage with us, and he really cared about our ordering process and our enjoyment of the meal. LUCA went out of his way to make sure we had a most enjoyable time. After every interaction with him, he ended it with “thank you“. Very classy in my opinion. I loved it that without our really realizing it he would gently sweep away the crumbs that had accumulated on the table cloth. Our dessert wasn’t to our liking, even though he had suggested it, and he comped it for Us That is so great. The overall ambience is very tasteful the view of the Bay and the San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge is stunning. I wish the hostesses had been a little cheerier …these young ladies they can’t even break a smile. Yes it is expensive, but the food is top-notch, absolute quality, and the service is stupendous. Five stars and two thumbs up!

La Mar never disappoints. We went there for a celebration and the food and service was great. The food came out quick too. Highlights for me were the Lomo Soltado, Jumbo Prawns with cilantro rice and the Fried Rice with Wagyu steak. Excellent experience and the dessert Choco Maracuya is the one to get. Skip the chocolate cake and the tres leches.
