The burrata whipped potatoes are insane.
AngelaOctober 31, 2013
As delicious as the popovers are, don't overdose on them. Bc the deviled eggs are just amazing.
Kim RaimondiAugust 13, 2014
While the menu and ambiance were warm and creative, the service completely soured my experience. Pressured by upselling and rushed out when not persuaded, it put a damper on the experience.

The size & style of the menu is representative of Old America, with a modern-Californian twist. It's large with ample choices for the meat lover & pescatarians. However, there is only one veg entree. Read more

Tartare. Fried chicken. Mac and cheese. Cocktails. Popovers. Bring your appetite.

Deviled eggs and Le Grand Burger with the fried egg is the way to go...and POPOVERS!!!
Cathy BlackwellApril 14, 2012
Try the deviled eggs: crispy rock shrimp and pickle relish on a perfectly creamy egg filling. Delicious!
Stephen BradburnSeptember 9, 2017
This was an amazing dining experience.
John PomeroyApril 3, 2013
Ask for Purity Vodka. Up or on the rocks, the best vodka in the world... With the blind tastings to prove it.
Anna KhanJuly 11, 2011
The bread is to die for. Mixture between a croissant and a puff pastry. Also try the deviled eggs and the burger.

Wayfare Tavern, Tyler Florence's first signature restaurant in San Francisco, CA, serves delicious dishes like Sonoma Pork Belly and Poutine.

Roasted bone marrow and fried chicken are to die for and the Lagavulin never a problem..

The chicken is great but so are the scallops. And only truly evil people turn down the popovers.
Roger MaMay 4, 2016
The fried chicken is legit!
Rachelle CDecember 17, 2015

Pei 👻 WenApril 5, 2015
Made a reservation on a Wed night at 8:15pm. Arrived on time, but were told to wait an unknown amount of time. 45min later, still unseated. Hey, get your shit together before you take reservations.
Mike YoungJanuary 5, 2011
Steak tartare, grilled calamari, and crab louis salad to start. Burger is good. Fried chicken is decent. Cheesy popovers are great!
Ellen BerryAugust 21, 2013
Delicious avocado salad and deviled eggs
James GuigayomaSeptember 7, 2013
The Chocolate Cream Pie is the best French Silk Pie you'll have, likely ever.
Diana SNovember 9, 2011
Seasonal menu, but if you see popcorn ice cream anywhere on the desert menu, ask for it. to-die-for.
Vivian WangSeptember 12, 2015
Soft shell crab 👌👌 solid burger as well
Jerry HongJanuary 19, 2013
Get the roasted bone marrow, tuna carpaccio, and fried chicken. They are amazing!
Kris LandoJanuary 31, 2014
Sad news: no more deviled eggs. Telling you ahead of time so you won't be heartbroken when you view the menu like I was.
Joseph LeSeptember 10, 2016
The popovers and fried chicken are so good!
Sarah EJuly 18, 2013
Deep friend oysters are the BOMB. Lamb chops juicy and tasty

Deviled eggs need a bit more paprika but are quite good nonetheless
Christine CoolieoAugust 8, 2014
Ask them about vegan modifications. They're super nice and accommodating!
Amanda SchneiderMay 25, 2015
Strawberry rhubarb cobbler made dessert the highlight of the meal.

The popovers are to die for! As is the Mac & cheese.

Chicken is good but needs a side dish. Mashed potatoes are awesome.
Laura RogersSeptember 8, 2010
Great service at the bar...excellent martinis (and they get better the more you drink). I think my homemade deviled eggs are better though, sorry Tyler!

If it was socially acceptable, I would order Wayfare's beef tartare for appetizer, entree and dessert. Must get!
Nancy WNovember 13, 2013
Burger with egg is Delish! So is the Kobe beef tartare
Roy KimDecember 29, 2010
The tri tip is delicous! It is a must! Be sure to make a reservation way in advance or you will never get a seat/table!
