SezFebruary 10, 2015Jardinière had an amazing atmosphere. We came for a private event and were in the wine room. The service was excellent and the food was delicious thanks to Chef TDS!
Tagel Shaked ZingerOctober 29, 2016You MUST try the impossible burger, I couldn't tell the difference. Also the tomato salad was cute and the glass of the tempranillo was amazing.
Robert MartinAugust 27, 2014One of my SF faves. Gorgeous bar (with full menu). Come at 745 and the bar will clear out as patrons head to the opera and symphony. Best burger in town--if you can resist the rest of this fab menu.
T ZAugust 5, 2017impossible burger 👌. local halibut crudo also good. don't get the short rib or maybe I'm just not big on short ribs...
Dania ElJuly 28, 2015Monday night tasting menu, the burger, the cocktails, the staff. It's just a classy place you can enjoy simply for the food but I go back for the experience.
Ashley AlvarezDecember 19, 2017Was here for a wedding reception- food was amazing and staff was v attentive
Island BruinOctober 20, 2015Monday night special theme dinners. Get a table overlooking the bar downstairs- much more interesting than the street life outside.- Frances JamesJanuary 17, 2015Upscale, great burger. Solid cocktails. Good for pre- or post- opera or ballet bites
Lauren GrimmDecember 21, 2018Only the pre-theater pre-fix is available before 7pm on Fridays. Waiter was a bit stuffy and unhelpful. Atmosphere upstairs is very nice.
Laurent DemaillySeptember 29, 2013wow the Barolo 5vines in the wine pairing to go with the ribeye in the tasting menu was to die for
Inman NewsMarch 6, 2012The Milky Way is the best! Chocolate and malted nougat arranged on a pad of marshmallow, served with caramel ice cream - delicious!
Alexandra BacchusJuly 7, 2016The tasting menu was like a marathon... took us over 4 hours to get through the 10+ courses but worth every minute.
Jinnie LMarch 30, 2015Food was good (little salty for my taste) service was good too ;) great atmosphere - so romantic♡
@JaumePrimeroDecember 1, 2011Menu Highlights: warm bread salad, gnocchi with white truffles and goat butter, and the swordfish!
Fernando GomezJanuary 6, 2017This used to be one of my favorite restaurant in San Francisco, but now that I came back after 2 years it seems like their quality has gone down. The service is not as good as it used to be either.
Casa DragonesMarch 6, 2013Enjoy some of San Francisco's finest French cuisine in this handsomely renovated former jazz club.
The ambiance here is just fabulous....the bar is quite impressive. One of my fave spots!
Melissa DagdaganJune 5, 2012$49 prix fixe menu on Monday's, and it includes wine! Can't go wrong with that!
Ryan WaltonDecember 21, 2012Totes good cocktails. Gigantic velvet couch is the best seat in da house.
Atticus LJuly 1, 2012Try the foie gras with raw sea urchin and celery over toasted Brioche - Orgasming, brb
BravoNovember 29, 2010Cool place looks like a champagne bottle from the inside. Great food. -Stephen Hopcraft, Top Chef
Georg EberleDecember 13, 2011The duck is excellent and the Gamay is the best on the nothern hemisphere.
Seema AmbleFebruary 14, 2017try the impossible burger at the bar - make sure they don't overcook it though
ruben pranataAugust 9, 2010The Liberty Farms duck and the panna cotta with bourbon sauce were excellent.
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Chef Elizabeth Binder eats here on her nights off. She loves the Warm bread salad. Read more
Jacques ChiracNovember 17, 2015Jardinère is mediocre for its price. A salad, a chicken, a chocolate dessert and two half glasses of wine are not worth the hundred dollars charged.
Michelle BMarch 25, 2010Get the hen - seriously. The flavor profile is amazing and you will cry from happiness. Pure genious!
