With a creative slew of cocktails this is a great place for after work banter and drinks. The French influenced bistro also has a unique food menu so come hungry and try new things! Read more

If I had to name one standout, comfortable-yet-elegant, satisfying & delicious special occasion meal in SF, my dinner at Urchin would be it. Loved everything from the cocktails to dessert.

The drink in this picture is called "Down the rabbit hole" and contains carrot. I'm more than willing to take one for the team and see how many I have to drink until I can see in the dark.

Trout is a great dish and the egg^3 is awesome. The mains didn't hold me though. Sadly, skip the uni spaghetti. A disappointment especially if you've had the better version at Mizumi in Vegas.
Tasting TableSeptember 17, 2014
The menu is anchored by enough bistro workhorses such as hand-cut steak tartare, panisses with ratatouille and steak frites to please hardcore Francophiles. Read more

Urchin is the new restaurant from Hiro Sone and Lissa Doumani, who also own Terra in St. Helena and Ame in San Francisco (both which boast Michelin stars). Read more

Bistrot classics are well done - but I found the more adventurous dishes to be over ambitious. Still a nice addition to Valencia especially if you like sea urchin.
Vic ZaudAugust 8, 2014
Fabulous smoked trout, great cocktails - loved the Suarez. Always order dessert especially if Lissa is in the kitchen!

The pork belly and blood sausage was paired brilliantly with blood orange. The armadillo cocktail (mezcal and absinthe) was weird in the best way possible.

Duck liver mouse and pork belly were the best I've ever had!!! Service at the bar is top notch as well.

Ocean trout fume, deviled egg with uni, Hiro sandwich with marrow soaked fries, great service too.

Head straight for the tasting menu and let the star chefs take you on a scrumptious gastronomic journey.

Check this place out for some very good, and comforting, bistro fare in an oddly configured space. Read more

Spaghettini (with uni) was creamy, but it was actually dairy-free!
Husain KurwaNovember 20, 2014
Awesome service . Had a refreshing octopus salad and cheese selection was impressive.

The bread is from Tartine so you know it's going to be delicious.
LinAugust 8, 2014
The delicious food is much more a success than the mishmash interior. Order urchin spaghettini.
Madhu MSeptember 8, 2014
Good cocktails if you like bourbon or rye. Good service too.
Omer ZachMay 7, 2015
Get some Tartine bread to soak up the sauce from everything else you order.

A bit underwhelmed here. My mom makes better deviled eggs. Cocktails had nice presentation but lacked flavorful taste. The urchin dish was ok. Oh and the service was poor and inattentive.
Jane SuperAugust 14, 2014
Delightful cocktails from Darius and Rafael.
Kris ConcepcionMarch 18, 2015
Passion fruit punch was a solid choice for a non-alcoholic drink.
Marion RégnierAugust 9, 2014
The chocolate cake for dessert is to die for!

Gougére was freakin amazing. I can't get past it

The steak frites is the bomb dot com 🍖🍟

Have some ice cream, from nearby Bi-Rite, for dessert.

The duck liver is fantastic.

Fantastic!
Craig VillamorFebruary 20, 2015
Really interesting menu, but everything was just a bit off. Meh.
Dory 🤙 Little 🤘October 4, 2014
The service was pretty slow, and the food was pretty meh. I don't think it's worth the cost.
