On the GridNovember 21, 2016Classic cocktails and one of the city’s best burgers coexist alongside innovative, seasonal items like Indian-spiced pork ribs with tamarind glaze and pickled watermelon and guajillo pepper farfalle. Read more
Nearly flawless. At lunch, the daylight spills in on the exposed brick in a lovely day, and the Caesar salad + steak is a paleo paradise. At night, cocktails and burgers with shellfish to start.
Deepak ShrivastavaOctober 15, 2013Walked in in a slightly busy Mon eve -- no issues. Wine was great, over roasted chicken was even better...savory, large portion and well-cooked with juicy flavoring. Service great as well.
Adrian PhillipsOctober 9, 2016A great spot for lunch, a wide selection of sandwiches (tuna melt, fried chicken bahn mi). Went with a massive kale, quinoa salad with ricotta and a chunk of tasty (not over mayo'd) tuna.
Staff PicksDecember 13, 2014You can taste authenticity in every bite of a meal. Their burgers are no exception as they are rich with house made ingredients and grass-fed beef. The Prather Ranch Hamburger is certainly worth it. Read more
Sahar ADecember 23, 2016Strolled in around 10pm & we were able to get a seat at the bar. Cute spot in Dogpatch. Ordered Butternut squash soup, Country Chicken Livers, & Yellowfin Tuna - everything was tasty!
Jenny NewApril 2, 2018Finally made it here for brunch after walking by for the last 4+ years. Got the eggs benny which came on cornbread and lots of greens. Small space, make a reservation!- Ashley MowreyJune 23, 2015You cannot go wrong with any item here. You get huge portions, sweet waiters, a nice selection of cocktails, and it's realistically easy to get into. Oh and brunch, yessss
PILAR PRENDESDecember 2, 2016Definitely you need to try chicken and waffles!!! For dinner!!!! It is great!!! And the vanilla ice cream!!! From Ms and Mr micselanius
- Staff PicksMay 12, 2016We love fries so much we had to mention them twice. Serpentine's fries are dusted with herbs and heaped alongside ramekins of house-made ketchup and aioli. Pair them with fresh-shucked oysters. Read more
cami j.April 23, 2017love this place. the space is beautiful. the food is delicious-loved the halibut and the scallops, and the cocktails are fabulous.
FarshidAugust 16, 2014Grilled cheese with fig jam and grilled onion!! Get a small granola bowl too , they use fresh fruit and not just the typical strawberry and banana , they use plum an peach :)
Stephanie WeiAugust 19, 2019Loved their halibut and pork chop. Would skip the house rolls and shells and cheese. Great drinks as well
Filipe FortesOctober 12, 2012Paleo options - Apps: Meat board, Pickled Vegetables, Chicken Livers; Mains: Grilled Wild Salmon w/ Mussels, Hanger Steak; Sides: Crispy Brussel Sprouts
SubhadraDecember 4, 2016Recommend the pork belly hash and the Bloody Mary for brunch! This place also has one of the best rye cocktails in SF -- the Senator!
Steven WakuuJune 11, 2018Cute dinner/date spot with interesting dishes. Really interesting combinations of flavors in each dish. Avoid the table near the door - it gets extremely windy.
EiMa AFebruary 20, 2016Casual n tasty brunch in a comfortable atmosphere. Red flannel hash was super tender. Homemade jam was a surprise I couldn't get enough of.
oohgodyeahApril 10, 2012Sit at the bar and ask Drew for a perfect Blood & Sand cocktail, complete with Aztec chocolate bitters and a mini pyrotechnics show! Ask him about bar snacks for amazing tips you never thought of.
7x7 MagazineNovember 1, 2012This bread pudding is served with ham, caramelized onions, summer squash, carrots, corn and poblano peppers -all of which contribute to the savory, juiciness of this baked dessert. Read more
Melissa GigliottiAugust 23, 2013Tuna melt is awesome. Get an Arnold Palmer and def get bread and butter. So good. Oh!! And the giant chocolate chip cookie. Crunchy outside, soft inside. Yum.
Aijia YanApril 18, 2015Like the Crab Benedict. Always a good place to go for brunch if you don't want to wait for hours...
AvaAugust 2, 2016great brunch! managed to get seated right away even on the day of the SF marathon—just get there right after it opens.
Great service and juicy burgers. Chicken livers were new and tasty to me. Stalker (drink) was delicious!
I often come here for lunch or brunch on occasion. Wonderful staff and delicious food. No patio seating.
squeaselJanuary 2, 2015Yes, I will attest and agree - the burger is pretty damn flavorful and juicy! (Even though they won't let you order it with an egg on it.)
Hedan ZengAugust 9, 2014Delicious cocktails and modern takes on classic brunch food makes for a fun weekend morning!
Ms HeleneDecember 7, 2019Hiramasa crudo $16, pickles $6, cornbread, 4 for $6, pork shank with beans $29. Skip mussels in white wine broth $16.
GourmetLiveOctober 21, 2010It's griddled to a gorgeous crust placed on a fresh butter-toasted roll, with pickled onions and bread-and-butter chips, a few leaves of arugula, melted cheddar, and fantastically sweet tomatoes.
ClareAugust 10, 2014Yummy brunch but snotty service. Fair price and value, delicious grapefruit juice. Line is obnoxious but bar is quick.
JonesNovember 28, 2016Go with the Mac and cheese, steak, and Pork chop. Skip the dumplings and hamburger
Nelson CrespoMay 4, 2019Strawberry Three Salad is a must. Beware the bread pudding: it is delicious, but it serves 3 (at least).
LivaFebruary 16, 2015Eat and drink at the bar. It's delicious, food and cocktails... and the bar tenders :)
Elizabeth BarelliSeptember 30, 2013delicious charcuterie, and the gnocchis are a must! authentic, tasty, healthy and generous!
Brunch tip: ask for the cocktail menu. They can make any of them, but they don't bring it out by default. And it's a really good cocktail menu.
Joon LeeJune 1, 2013The Red Flannel Hash is excellent! The brisket is tender like some kind of twisted black magic. :)
If they have it on the menu (usually only around Summer/Fall) get the heirloom tomato sandwich. Add the bacon and thank me later.
Hard to get a table without a reservation but eating at the bar with their great bartender Chris is an easy way to bypass the reservation challenge
Marshall St. ClairMarch 26, 20157x7 mag says the brunch is a local favorite that can attract a line on the weekend- Markus AarstadOctober 18, 2014Feast on dishes such as squash salad and saffron pappardelle with wild mushrooms at this Slow Food restaurant.
Sarah BuhrJune 9, 2013Coffee and alcohol together. Upper and downers to your hearts content on a sunny Saturday afternoon for brunch.
Sherry LiApril 15, 2015Burger is awesome, very juicy. Pickled vegetable dish is the dark horse. Calamari is overrated.
Envolve WineryMarch 6, 2013Make sure to try the Epilogue Chardonnay! An easy drinking wine that's perfect for any occasion!
Love the espresso martini on the brunch cocktail menu.
