    We loved the white table cloths and candlelight, the soft music, varied small plates including great salad and meatballs, and friendly efficient service.

    Back at Abrazo and happy to be there. Three of us for dinner and we decided to graze on the small plate selections. Gem Lettuce, Roasted carrots, Shrimp/Gambas, Chicken Croquettes, Grilled Calamari and the fabulous olive bread. Topped off with some crisp Chardonnay and a very nice Mendoza Malbec. Unobtrusive but friendly service and a bit of philosophy from owner Mike. Perfect evening on a cool Tuesday in Russian Hill.

    Everything in this neighborhood gem is a treat. The menu offers a great array of dishes, both smaller tapas style and larger entrees. The half chicken was delicious. Shared appetizers were excellent. Service is perfect. I highly recommend Abrazo.

    This was our first time to Abrazo and we loved it. Our server was the owner and we were well taken care of. I wanted to try a Spanish wine with my meal and he recommended a great one...let me taste it first to make sure we liked it. We also were not sure if we should order small plates and share or main entrees. He helped us navigate that as well and we decided on 4 small plates with one entree. All the dishes were delicious! Once we ordered, he had the items come out so that we could enjoy the dinner, at a slower pace. He had the gem lettuce salad and prawns come first, followed by the steak tartare, and then brought out the chicken (highly recommend) with the potatoes bravos. We didn't do dessert because we were seeing a show, but he mentioned that they make their desserts and ice cream in house. No worries because we will be back!
