    From host to server we had the most amazing experience. Food was yummy. We ordered the Octopus in beans. It was perfect taste to the palette. Then came our pork chop with chimichurri sauce. Cooked perfectly!! The side of Cauliflower wasn’t your ordinary side dish, it’s so delicious and flavorful with a bit of sweet yet savory. For dessert we went for the churros. 2 chocolate dipping sauce was included. Our server was attentive and the host came by to check on us as well. This is my 5th time eating at Lolinda. Will be going back again!!

    The food in Lolinda is incredible! The ceviche has the perfect balance of flavors, the chicken is cooked beautifully, and the pork chop is packed with delicious taste and the salmon was amazing, and the sauce was so good—it was my first time trying it, and I loved it. Our server Jose, was amazing-super friendly and accommodating.One of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco. Highly recommend this place.

    We had an amazing meal at this Argentinian steakhouse! The pork chop was juicy and full of flavor, and the Pulpo was cooked perfectly. We usually stick to cocktails, which are always great, but this time we tried the wine our waiter recommended, and it was excellent. For dessert, we had the churros and alfajores—both were delicious! The churros were warm and crispy, and the alfajores were sweet and creamy. This is one of our favorite places to eat. The food, drinks, and service are always fantastic. Highly recommend!

    We had the chicken skewer, coliflor and the ceviche Mixto. All were great. The Ojo de Bife was pretty good but nothing to rave about.
