Rich Table San Francisco Reviews
Great meal at rich table - busy on a Tuesday night but was
Great meal at rich table - busy on a Tuesday night but was able to grab a table later on. Friendly service, delicious food - loved the classics (porcini doughnuts, beef dumplings), the pasta dishes, the clarified cocktails, the shrimp and squid coctel, and the amazing cucumber and granita dessert. only dish that was ok for me was the toro toast - thought the proportions needed a bit more balance but still tasted good
Indeed all that it's cracked up to be.
Go with the Chef's Picks option and save room for dessert!
This place is Fantastic.
Food amazing. Service lovely. Ambiance perfect. Absolutely loved it.
This is the best restaurant in the city.
It offers Excellent food and personalized service. Dana is the best! The cacio e pepe is a classic and make sure to order the doughnuts
Upscale New American at its best -- seasonal, chef-driven,
Upscale New American at its best -- seasonal, chef-driven, and you can tell they really care about the details. Service is warm and attentive, making the whole experience feel special. Must-try dishes: - Bluefin Toro Toast - Rich toro on fluffy milk bread, lifted by a touch of yuzu. - "Ratatouille" - Eggplant, squash, and tomato in a lemon verbena curry -- creamy, umami-packed, unforgettable. Highly recommend making a reservation. And don't miss their casual sister spot RT Rotisserie just down the block!
The food here was really good! We got the tasting menu
The food here was really good! We got the tasting menu ($125pp), which was 5 courses. It was the right amount of food so I didn't feel stuffed afterwards. The first course was the best - a collection of bites, and all of them were very interesting and tasty. I especially liked the donut that you could dip in the melted cheese, and the beef dumpling with chili oil. The first course was an appetizer course. Mine was a tuna chip which was delicious. I really liked the sauce that it came with. The third course was a rice dish, with Chinese sausage and egg fried rice. It was also very tasty but a bit on the oily side. I liked it better than the pasta my friend got. The fourth course was steak, which was super tender but I wish the portion size was bigger! Both desserts were a bit too minty so would have preferred if there were other flavors. We also got the one two punch cocktail to share, which was tasty and strong. Overall a great experience, although they do a mandatory 6.5% SF tax that is added on.
Had an incredible meal here.
Tried to book pretty well in advance and there were only seating times after 8 during weekdays available. When I got there it was very busy and now I can see why it's so popular. Th e menu is set up well for sharing between the small plates and mains. The small bites range in size so best to ask your server if you're wondering about portions on certain dishes. Some of my favorite items we ate were the porcini donuts, beef dumplings, and ribeye but everything was excellent. They also have a champagne toast you can order if you're celebrating something.

I wasn't sure if there was a point to write a review for an already top rated restaurant but I needed to rave about our experience. Even looking at pictures from other guests a few weeks ago, our dinner menu was different. Rich table is dedicated to a farm to table seasonal experience. I've never loved coriander as much as I did in this meal. Every dish was thoughtful and honored the freshness of the ingredients. Don't skip on the porcini doughnuts or the aged beef dumpling; they're classics for a reason. The front of house was exceptional and the signed menu in honor of us celebrating our anniversary was the cherry on top on an already wonderful night. It's been a while since I've been so wowed by a dinner experience.
Ok listen this review is based off the tasting menu! I
Ok listen this review is based off the tasting menu! I really can't tell you the names of 75% of the dishes I ate. So I'll base this review off of my overall experience! I'll be the first to say, if my friend hadn't setup the reservations I would have never chosen this spot because based on the pictures, and the names of the dishes I don't usually partake! But I was pleasantly surprised. The flavor combinations of 90% of the dishes were fire! The restaurant is great for small groups! We had a great time and the service was exceptional! But buyers beware! The bill will be up there so bring your coins!
The menu was divine, so tasty and fresh.
Everything was inventive and fun. Lively atmosphere and great collaborative service. Celebrating a birthday here was really fun - all the desserts alone make it an incredible experience.
Fabulous and eclectic
This was my first time trying Rich Table, which is 13 years old. I wish I had known about it earlier; it was a fabulous and very eclectic meal. The restaurant is helmed by chefs Evan and Sarah Rich, hence the very apropos name. They serve a menu with influences from all parts of the globe. The restaurant is wildly popular; reservations are essential, even for the bar. To get the widest choice of offerings, I would recommend the "Let Us Choose Your Adventure" tasting menu for a very reasonable $125 (has an optional wine pairing). You get samples of many of the "market bites" and "classic bites" on the menu, a pasta, a main and a dessert. Some of the tastes are not on the menu. If you are a party of 2, they give you a different pasta and main for more variety. And they can make it vegetarian too. The bites I received included: egg with caviar and maple creme fraiche, peach with black truffle and creme fraiche, tuna tostada with corn pico de gallo and serrano peppers, sardine chip with horseradish creme fraiche, porcini doughnut with whipped raclette (a famous bite), beef dumpling with chili crunch, a cucumber preparation and a cracker of sorts topped with peas. My pasta was tonnarelli sea urchin "cacio e pepe". The main was hangar steak with peaches and coriander (they use ribeye for this dish on the regular menu). The dessert was a layered chocolate thing with a creme fraiche-like ice cream, plus a petite honeycomb cookie. Everything was WOW! This place, along with my old fave Gary Danko, will be regular stops whenever I visit SF. And I'd like to try their fast-casual chicken place RT Rotisserie just down the street.
Special occasions
This is the second time we've gone here and was not disappointed. We went with their "let the chef choose" option and got to try the majority of the menu. Each course was delicious and tasty. By the end of our meal we were full! Great place for dates and for celebration.
Had such an amazing experience at Rich Table! My friend
Had such an amazing experience at Rich Table! My friend made a dinner reservation for 4 a month in advance to secure us a table. We got 4 appetizers - burrata, toro toast x2, beef dumplings, and the porcini donuts. The toro toast was my favorite! For the entrees, we got the sea urchin pasta, fried rice, and ribeye. The sea urchin pasta was so good! Fried rice had so much flavor and the texture was amazing. It had some crunch to it from some of the crispy rice pieces. The ribeye was cooked perfectly and paired so well with the chile lime corn. We ordered the honey cornbread with vanilla ice cream for dessert and it tasted so light and refreshing for a cornbread! Not dry at all. My friend also got a bday dessert treat! It was mint ice cream with a brownie chip - also so good. Overall loved the ambience of this restaurant - it felt like we were being hosted in someone's home bc of how home-y it felt in there! We also loved the open kitchen concept and watching the chefs do their thing! The servers were also amazing in helping us navigate their menu and choose what dishes to order. We finished everything and felt so satisfied at the end! Everything was so delicately made and you could really tell in each and every dish we got that it was made with high quality ingredients and intricacy from the chefs! I'd definitely recommend to friends!
Excellent.
The only dish that was meh was the truffle pasta. The porcini donuts were the bomb! Amazing flavor on the oysters, very refreshing. The duck pasta was very delicious with a good combo of textures, the pasta is unique as well, reminding me of a Chinese dish my mother used to make.
Rich table definitely met my expectations and more! I made
Rich table definitely met my expectations and more! I made a reservation a month in advance since reservations can be hard to get for a good dinner time! We also got perfect parking right in front of the restaurant as well. The restaurant is also very homey like and i love that they have an open kitchen concept so we can watch the chefs cook! I would like to first start off by saying we ordered for four and we finished everything and left very satisfied and full! Every dish we had we enjoyed. With every bite you can tell everything was created with seasonal items and very fresh ingredients as well! Everything also paired very well together! For appetizers we ordered the burrata, dumplings, doughnuts (tasted so good with the dip and the texture tasted like a brazilian cheese bread!), and the blue tuna toro toast! For mains, we ordered the sea urchin pasta (i love uni), the rib eye steak, and fried rice. The ribeye steak was fantastic because all the ingredients paired so well together and I have never had steak with sweet corn and on top was citrusy but tasted so good all together! The steak was also cooked perfect! For dessert, we ordered the corn bread cake and they gave us a complimentary mint chip dessert. The honey corn bread cake was so delightful and moist and it was amazing!! I'm not a fan of mint chip ice cream but I have to say the dessert with brownie cookies and mint chip chocolate was very refreshing and paired well together! Overall, I would definitely come back and try their new items next time.
Nice experience
We had a great meal here. We had to make a reservation a few weeks in advance, but it was worth the wait. All the appetizers were top-notch. I also really love the pasta that we got. If I went again, I think I would stay away from the mains and just get every single appetizer on the menu lol.
4.5 stars I made an online reservation more than 30 days
4.5 stars I made an online reservation more than 30 days in advance (yes, it's those kind of restaurants) for a Friday night dinner for 2 at 7:15p. This is my second time here and the first time was more than a decade ago. I remember feeling lukewarm about this restaurant on my previous visit but with the consistent positive reviews and difficulty getting a reservation I decided to give it a second try and am so glad I did! We opted for the "chef picks" option for $120 per person which is meant so you can try the majority of the menu with a few off-menu items. If I wasn't impressed after this I can finally put Rich Table out of my mind haha. Well, I was impressed and didn't think the price point was too outrageous given how everything is so expensive nowadays. My favs were: Dried porcini doughnuts raclette (menu staple) Heirloom tomato with RTR Douglas fir ranch and crispy shallots Maguro zuke with pluots, shiso and Borja's avocado purรฉe Plancha fried rice with morels, pole beans and pickled shallots 21 day dry aged rib eye with chili lime creamed corn Desserts were only ok and can't quite remember exactly what we had. Service was excellent throughout with our water always being refilled, cocktails at the ready, and napkins folded whenever we left the table. It is a cozy restaurant and quite packed so a little on the loud side. Me and my hubby would definitely come back as their menu changes throughout the year with a few exceptions. Street parking can be challenging so we opted to park in the performing arts garage nearby (5 min walk to the restaurant). It was a $22 flat rate since there was a show at the SF symphony that day.
Everything went well! We were seated on time Wonderful
Everything went well! We were seated on time Wonderful service. Great choices of dishes. Fair prices for what we got We will return!

Had an early dinner here yesterday and chose to sit on the bar by the window. Opted out of the chefs tasting and decided to do A La Carte. Started with our cocktails Shiso Popular was refreshing and the Garden party was interesting. Our starters came out together- Sardines chips- was unique and very good. I don't eat horse radish but I definitely ate the one they had it was light and good. -Blue fin totro toast (I highly recommend) bread is soft inside with a bit of a crunch on the outside the toro tasted amazing. The oysters were really good never had it with green strawberry and it definitely elevated the taste. The Chawanmushi Corn was packed with flavors. The Doughnuts- fluffy/thick and chewy. It was warm great with the cheese. For mains we ordered The Tonnarelli -Urchin pasta was rich, creamy and flavorful. The Bluefin Tuna Laksa was good. With peanut sauce reminded me of their take of Kare Kare but with fish instead of the bagoong they have sambal which adds a little kick. Overall everything was great! Food packed with flavors and service was great.

I've heard of Rich Table and wanted to finally check it
I've heard of Rich Table and wanted to finally check it out! My favorite dishes that we ordered were the blue fin toro toast and the fried porcini donut raclettes. The toast had a nice refreshing bite and buttery texture from the Japanese bread. The duck taquito was confusing. The duck inside the taquito tasted good but that sauce on top completely overpowered everything. The duck dish was good as the duck itself was perfectly cooked but I really didn't care for anything around the duck so that was a bummer. The pasta dish was also miss for me. The sauce felt flat. Service was good and had cozy ambiance. Overall, my dinner experience was underwhelming. I think their bites and appetizers are where I may be coming back.
Went on a Saturday night and had a lovely time.
The staff was so nice it really felt like such a great dining experience. Food was great our favorites were the Ribeye and the Tuna Toast. I feel it is a little pricey for what it is but it was overall a great meal and experience.
TLDR: There were some hits and misses for me at Rich Table,
TLDR: There were some hits and misses for me at Rich Table, but overall it was a nice meal and I'd go back eventually! My favorite items were the porcini doughnuts and little gem salad. I'd personally pass on the sardine chip and their famous tonnarelli pasta in the future. ------ FOOD: 1. Porcini Doughnuts (4.5/5): Think of these as dense doughnut holes but instead of a sugary coating, it's an earthy mushroom / umami flavor. The raclette cheese is SUPER light and airy, so it's a good complement but it doesn't have a strong cheese flavor. These doughnuts come out freshly made. This comes with ~5-6 doughnuts so it's perfect for sharing. 2. Little Gems salad (4/5): This has a really bright tomato-based dressing that we absolutely loved. We also loved the popped grains. We ended up ordering two of these, though this is definitely expensive for what it is. 3. Ribeye (4/5): This is a quite fatty cut of steak which is really tasty but not always what people expect. It almost reminded me more of a pork chop. Still, it was good and the creamed corn was nice too, though a little too sweet given the steak itself already had a lot of flavor. 4. Maguro Zuke (aka Tuna Crudo, 3/5): This was fine. Barely any crudo in this dish though -- a lot of the space was just the thinly sliced fruit. 5. Tonnarelli (3/5): I thought I was going to love this pasta but when I took my first bite I realized that this is extremely al dente (like, if I bent a noodle with my fork it might snap in two) and extremely salty. This is indeed very rich, and you sort of get a fishy aftertaste which reminds you that there's uni in this, but not in the way I think I wanted. Anyway, this is a crowd favorite and what they're known for, so you should try for yourself too! 6. Sardine Chip (2/5): Oh wow, this was a lot to take in. The chip itself was half soggy, which was immediately not a good side. The sardine was fine, it was what I expected. But the combo of the horseradish in the creme fraiche combined with the fishy sardine and the soggy chip just made this not enjoyable at all. ------ SERVICE: * Service was good, everyone was very welcoming and everyone greeted us as we entered and left. Our water was always poured for us, we never felt rushed, and they checked in before our meal to make sure we didn't need to be gone by a certain time. It helped with the pacing a lot. ------ ENVIRONMENT: * This is a pretty casual feeling restaurant despite the prices. It feels like you're in a barn or in the countryside somewhere, which is super cute! * The tables are pretty close together, so you literally have to squeeze between tables and you can hear everything people are talking about * RT is on a beautiful corner of Hayes and right across the street from the highly-rated Loquat bakery * Overall this is a pretty small restaurant so not a place for large gatherings but a cozy setting for a small group or one-on-one
Beautiful, delicious food.
I wander across Rich Table while visiting the city so I had no expectations outside of how good it smelled as I walked by.
Very nice to custumers and when they did get out the food
Very nice to custumers and when they did get out the food they brought ought very tasty treats aswell.
For a reputable spot that has a unique menu.
..and clearly a vibrant scene...I was surprised by how much this restaurant fell short of expectations. To start: The prix fixe is $110 per person. The waitress told us that it would come with 5 courses...which was true...and that it would be specially catered items from the chef. She refused to tell us the contents of the prix fixe menu. This characterization was a scam...because everything from the prix fixe was literally on the a la carte menu. And moreover, ordering a la carte directly from the menu would have been less than half the price of the prix fixe. There is legitimately no logical reason to order the prix fixe menu. Many of the food portions that came through were actually quite tasty. We liked the cauliflower, the pasta, and some of the appetizers. It was well presented, but we'd be lying if we said the portions were even medium-sized. One other oddity: Even for the prix fixe, the waitress gave us different within our group of 4 (some were vegetarian; some weren't). Even the non-vegetarian people in the party were given vegetarian entrees. When we told her about this, she said that it was intentional and that we are meant to share the dishes. What?! I've never heard of a prix fixe that is supposed to be shared tapas style, and this "rule" was never disclosed to us from the beginning. This is another reason that we viewed the restaurant is alarmingly dishonest in its presentation.
Fantastic service -- every person, especially our waitress,
Fantastic service -- every person, especially our waitress, was so kind. Unique cocktails that are not too sweet. Spicy, unique flavors in all the food, combining many different cuisines. Three courses and two drinks each for just $110pp. Went here for my birthday dinner with my boyfriend and LOVED it. My favorite dishes were the porcini dumplings and the deconstructed dumpling pasta, yum. I also recommend the mint dessert (always on the menu, even when it isn't).
I think this place is slightly overrated.
The food was pretty good, but it was very crowded. The service was top tier though - we volunteered to give up our table for an elderly couple and they gave us some free appetizers. I'd probably go back, but I don't think I would suggest it if that makes sense

Had a great experience here last night! The food was amazing and very high quality, and the service was top notch. The waitstaff truly went out of their way to answer any questions and make sure it was a great experience. The dishes were unique and beautifully presented as well. The white asparagus blew my mind. Would definitely come back here again!
Friendly service, delicious food, and great location to
Friendly service, delicious food, and great location to grab dinner before a show. I treated my family to a birthday dinner here before an orchestra performance. Rich Table has some of the best food in the area if you want to have a more luxurious dinner before catching a show. The location is amazing in terms of being able to get to the theaters and venues around the area. We did the Chef Picks where they choose the items you get to try out, plus we added the caviar supplement. For 3 people doing the Chefs Pick and sharing family-style, we got to try out most of the menu. Food that was memorable: + Porcini Donuts. Love these and honestly I'd come here for just their bites menu if I didn't have a reservation. Love the raclette sauce that you dip this in too. They sell the porcini powder at their other restaurant just a few blocks away, RT Rotisserie. + Uni Cacio e Pepe. Favorite savory main to order! I've had seafood pasta in many different forms and this is probably my favorite. The handmade pasta is soft and chewy, with enough bite to stand up to the creamy rich uni. + Desserts were amazing. All 3 we got for Chefs Pick were not to sweet and paired well with their coffee. I loved the super rich, creamy chocolate dessert and the final bites of a white-chocolate covered dalgona-like kit kat. Sadly, I don't remember the name of the desserts but I still think about them. So so good. - Fried rice. Chewy rice that's fried to a crispy perfection. Includes a savory sweet Wycen chinese style sausage. Candidly, this dish was a little on the salty side for me and I had to take breaks eating it to sip water. If you've never had Chinese style sausage, this is a great introduction to the flavor. Personally, I would skip this next time. - I would also personally skip the caviar supplement next time. It's certainly delicious, but I've found that other restaurants give you more caviar for $24. - Vegetarian-wise, this place doesn't give you as much value for what you're spending on Chefs Pick in my opinion. For example, doing the Chefs Pick, I got 2 big fat beef wontons with chili crunch oil. The vegetarian version of this for my family member was a couple artful slices of pear with chili crunch oil for the Chefs Pick. Would recommend that vegetarians purchase a la carte or head over to Rich Table's other spot, RT Rotisserie, to grab their super yummy broccoli wrap. Lots of great pescatarian options though. The restaurant is on the smaller end, pretty cozy. I had to squeeze past the occupied neighboring table to get into my bench seat. However, just some temporary awkwardness before good food!
The food is magnificent, and the service is a match.
The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and attentive
Went last night and had another home run dinner.
Everything we had was sooooo good. Porcini donuts as always, Dungeness crab curry salad which was to die for (last night on the menu) ,burrata with spicy honey yum, sea urchin pasta as always and a hand pulled dumpling duck pasta which blew our minds. Ordered their shaved ice dessert as always and great way to end the meal. Marissa at the bar was lovely as usual! Left super happy with the menu we got to try this evening!

I visited Rich Table for a birthday dinner, and we had a party of 5. Our reservation was pretty late, but that means we got a large private booth near the back of the restaurant. Great ambiance and not super crowded at all. For food, we were debating between going for the prix fixe option vs. just ordering a bunch of a la carte items to share. If you're in a mid to larger group I'd probably recommend just ordering a la carte--I was glad I got to try a lot of different things on the menu. We ordered a LOT of food, so some standouts to me: - dried porcini donuts: These were so good and (I heard) a Rich Table classic! Not too rich, very light, but still really flavorful. - smoked fish whip cannoli with sweet persimmon sauce: If you like strong smoked salmon flavors, you'll like this. Probably my favorite appetizer - plancha fried rice w/ lap cheong and sprouted broccoli - tonnarelli sea urchin 'cacio e pepe': Also a Rich Table classic. Maybe a little lighter on the uni flavor than I was expecting but I wasn't mad at it. Probably good for people who don't normally like the richness of uni. Really enjoyed my time here and would come again!
great chef's choice experience.
came as a table of 3 and we each got different dishes to try and pass around. definitely really liked the appetizer plate with tin fish, crรจme fraiche, fried dough and more. the aged beef dumpling in chili sauce, Thai Dungeness crab, steak, and panna cotta were also really good. i just wished dishes were a bit bigger to share.
Must try restaurant in San Francisco
As I was researching restaurants to visit while in San Francisco Rich Table kept popping up on different lists, food blogs, and articles, one even naming it one of the best restaurants in the city. So I knew I had to try this place. I had a reservation for 10PM but I got a text a hour before saying I could arrive early if I wanted. When I arrived I was warmly greeted and seated immediately at my spot at the bar by someone who I later learned was the GM/Partner Jonny Gilbert. The bar seat I had turned out to be perfect for me as I had a good view of the kitchen and expo station as well as being able to look out the windows and see some of the things that occur at night on the streets of SF. The bartender and every employee that I came in contact with were very knowledgeable and tuned in to good customer service. I opted for the Chef Picks service so I could try a few different items including the caviar supplement and it turned out to be a great choice. I have to say I loved everything, there might have been 1 or 2 things that didn't leave me wowed or blew my socks off. I can't remember the name of everything that I ate but here are some of the highlights: Dried Porcini Doughnuts w/ Raclette 5/5 & Sardine Chip w/ Horseradish Crรจme Fraรฎche 5/5 2 things Rich Table is know for and they definitely lived up to the hype. Did not disappoint. Everything that you heard about it and more! Oyster w/ Aji Amarillo & Gooseberry Mignonette 5/5 I don't know how I'll go back to eating oysters without this. Dungeness Crab, Pomelo, Crab Curry, Spaghetti Squash, Trout Crumble 5/5 but I would rate it higher if I could. Probably the best thing I ate at Rich Table. The presentation is perfect but all those tastes and textures really come together in a way I could never had imagined. Tonnarelli, Sea Urchin, "Cacio e Pepe," Idiazabal 4.5/5 Perfect al dente and creaminess. Yes Italians say don't eat cheese w/ seafood, but this is California dining. 21 Day Dry Aged Ribeye, "A199" Steak Sauce, Twice Baked Potato 5/5 I love steak and if I'm at a steakhouse I order it medium rare, which is a warm RED center and that is exactly how this steak came out of the kitchen. I'm not a steak sauce fan but the "A199" sauce is homemade and I really enjoyed it. Also nowadays I very rarely see twice baked potatoes on a menu but this was good. Then came dessert. I was celebrating my birthday so I was given a Mint Chocolate Sable with Mint Chocolate Cream and Ice Cream. 4.5/5 That was perfect and I would think it couldn't get any better but then I was given an Orange Granita as the end of the Chef Picks and it was amazing. 5/5 I love chocolate and all things chocolate but this was even better than I could have ever expected. I mean the shaved ice with the orange segments and the vanilla ice cream (gelato?). I guess it brings back nostalgia for the creamsicles I used to have as a kid but so much better. Overall a great experience with all of the exceptional food and enhanced by the employees and their friendliness and service along with meeting one of the Chef/Owners Evan Rich and conversing with him and Mr Gilbert about the industry.
Fantastic culinary experience
We went to Rich Table because of a recommendation of our B&B in San Francisco and what can I say? It was one of the most unique dining experience weโve ever had. First of all, the whole staff was extraordinarily welcoming and nice. We shared a couple dishes together which were all special. My personal favorites were the doughnuts with a creamy, rich sauce: They were very fluffy and incredibly delicious. Also the sweet potato dumplings with kale and miso were superb. For the dessert we tried the chocolate cake with peppermint crumble and the shaved ice. Throughout the dinner we were surprised by all the different flavors and textures of the food - a very rich and special experience. We can only recommend this place and will definitely come again.

I've been wanting to come here since a friend mentioned
I've been wanting to come here since a friend mentioned that it's on the top of his 'want to try' restaurant list. I optimistically made an outdoor reservation, and although it was a bit chilly, they had heat lamps and blankets to keep you warm. They also offered us a seat at the bar, but we decided to just chance the outdoors. The food here is superb. Every bite was delicious and the food was really creative. I would highly, highly recommend the porcini donuts- truly unexpectedly delicious, it was a soft lightly fried melt in your mouth explosion of mushroom and umami. Honestly I could have had a whole dinner of just these donuts. Biryani arancini were also delicious- loved the slightly different take and fusion of flavours. The dungeness crab was tasty- the texture was lovely with the crunchy bits on top although I was a little surprised that it was cold. Not bad, just surprised. We shared two pastas. The bucatini came with a side of bone marrow for extra richness (!). My favorite was definitely the uni tonnarelli though- creamy and rich- Likeba heightened carbonara. We finished the meal with cookies and cream panna cotta, which was also like an elevated McDonald's mcflurrry (which we love a lot haha).Overall, I am so glad we came here. Best dinner in a while, and we are looking forward to coming back when we are more hungry to try the tasting menu! Definitely try and get a reservation at this wonderful restaurant!
Top notch food, experience and service.
Thrilled with our evening dinner date here!! Delicious, fun and relaxing. Special place!
One of the best meals I've ever had, easily top 3 in San
One of the best meals I've ever had, easily top 3 in San Francisco. This place had been on our list for a while, and I was worried it wouldn't live up to the hype. But man it was absolutely fantastic. Every single dish was so creative and delicious. Couldn't recommend this place more! One thing I'd say is that we did the outdoor "patio" which was directly on the street and was quite loud and not a super pleasant environment. If you're able to, I'd strongly recommend getting an indoor seat.
Rich Table was a phenomenal dinner and one of the best
Rich Table was a phenomenal dinner and one of the best meals I've had in San Francisco. We shared several dishes including the chicken liver with fried chicken madeleines, the dumplings, and the mushroom donuts. We tried a couple different cocktails, both were great, but my favorite was the shiso gin cocktail. Everything was exceptional - especially the mushroom donuts. It was my partner's birthday meal so they brought him a birthday dessert as well, which was a really nice touch.We sat on the outside patio. The service was still fantastic there and they provided blankets, but I would reserve an indoor table when we return (we had chosen the outside seating) due to street noise.Overall, absolutely fantastic meal, I can't wait to return and try new dishes as we were told their menu changes frequently.
One of my favorite restaurants in the city.
Love the seasonal menu offering fresh ingredients, tasty drinks, fusion tastes, and everything else! Please keep up the good work!

We had a 5:15 reservation on a Saturday night, and we ordered lots of shared plates, appetizers, and mains. We appreciated the attempted creativity, but the dishes often weren't as tasty as they sounded. The chawanmushi and porcini doughnuts were surprisingly bland, for instance. The raclette sauce overwhelmed the latter. We couldn't taste the crab in the appetizer or the latkes. The sardine chips were amusing but we would have liked a few more potato chips for balance. There was also an unfortunately long gap between our shared plates/appetizers and our mains. Clearly the kitchen was swamped. We did love the charred allium yogurt sauce that came with the cruditรฉs and used it to liven up all sorts of other dishes. The black cod main was good. Our server was excellent and knowledgable. We enjoyed the interesting selection of wines by the glass. But in the end, none of the food we had was tasty enough to make us want to return.

Felt very safe from a Covid perspective in the outdoor parklet. Dana is an amazing waitress who created a custom tasting menu for us with some great wine pairing. Her recommendations were a hit. The starter selection was amazing. The duck is a delight. Great food, great service.
My wife and I had a 5:15 reservation at Rich Table for
My wife and I had a 5:15 reservation at Rich Table for dinner. We had been wanting to go there for a long time, but you have to make a reservation 30 days in advance at midnight to assure you get in. I thought that at 5:15, even on a Saturday night, they would be empty. Not so, they were packed because they are right in the middle of the theatre district. We had tickets for Mavis Staples at the Minor at 7:30.When we arrived at Rich Table, we were warmly welcomed by the hostess, who asked what time our show was so that the staff would know that we had to be done by 7:15. Our server, Nicole, also asked us about the time of the show to make sure we would be done in time. She was a fantastic server. She gave us excellent descriptions of the food which was most helpful, because the descriptions on the menu are not very detailed. We were just blown away by the service, the food, and the ambiance. In addition to the entire staff of servers being very professional and efficient, they are all very nice and make you feel very welcome. It was one of the most delightful dining experiences we have had in a very long time. Here is the rundown of what we had:We each had a cocktail to start. My wife had a SHISO POPULAR - Japanese Gin, Shiso, Lemon and I had a PASSIONATE PARROT - Rum Blend, Passion Fruit, Pineapple, Coconut Campari. Both were delicious and very creative. We started with two of their signature "BITES," Dried Porcini Doughnuts Raclette and Aged Beef Dumplings RT Chili Crunch. The doughnuts are more like a very light Porcini beignet. They are totally addictive, especially when dipped in the Raclette. The dumplings were absolutely a taste sensation. The RT Chilli Crunch is perfect. It is not your typical Chilli Crunch in that the crunch is from fried minced garlic, not hot chilli peppers that is the usual component. Chilli oil is mixed with the fried garlic to create a rather mild heat and rich taste that is delightful on the dumplings.We had a wonderful bottle of 2021 Donnhoff Riesling Trocken, which was perfect with the meal. You don't often find a Trocken (dry) Riesling on most wine lists and this one was especially great.For mains My wife had the Black Cod, Blood Orange Char Siu, Piracicaba Broccoli and I had the "Chaoshan Poison" Vongole, Manila Clams, Thai Chiles, Garlic, Cilantro, Focaccia. To say that by this point Rich Table had become our favorite restaurant in SF, is an understatement. Both dishes were a revelation in taste sensations. Even the focaccia was amazing. My clam dish came with two big slices that were covered with a wonderful spice blend. My wife took one bite of one of the slices and said that I was not getting it back. I can see why people are known to buy Rich Table loafs of bread to take home.We had a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream and a scoop of homemade pear sorbet for dessert. That may sound boring, but each had a unique flavor. Our server knew it was our anniversary and brought us a couple of glasses of a delicious sparkling Muscat.And yes, we were out the door at 7:15 in plenty of time to catch Mavis Staples at the Minor, which is right around the corner. We so look forward to going back to Rich Table and work our way through the menu.
I can't wait to come back to Rich Table and eat a full
I can't wait to come back to Rich Table and eat a full meal!!! I arrived in town and headed straight to Rich Table, to see if I could get a seat at the bar to try a couple of their appetizers. Got there about a half hour early and there was only one person waiting. First, the staff is lovely! They stashed my suitcase and brought it back out for me when I was ready to leave. Even walked it down the steps for me! Bartender was great and helped me to narrow down my choices. But the real star is the food, at least what I ordered. The sardine chips are TO DIE FOR. The combination of salt, brine and horseradish was like nothing I've ever had before and I wish I had ordered four of them instead of two. The dried porcini doughnuts just blew my mind. I expected one type of flavor and texture and received a completely different experience, in the best way! The little dipping sauce that comes with it was so good that I was tempted to ask for it to go. Creamy, umami flavor. Pro tip: If you don't have reservations, get there at 4:30 or 4:45 to snag a table right when they open. This place is worth every penny, and I can't wait to explore the rest of their menu the next time we are in The City.
I was lucky enough to snag a reservation to Rich Table this
I was lucky enough to snag a reservation to Rich Table this past Saturday for a party of two on the outdoor patio after a last minute cancellation. I was a bit apprehensive at first about the seating situation because another Yelper had pointed out how cold sitting outdoors was and how inadequate the blankets and heat lamps were, but I found this to be not the case at all: my wife and I were comfortable the entire meal sitting outdoors; no issue with the cold at all.We were lucky enough to have gotten Dana as the host for our table. She was very knowledgeable about everything on the menu, took her time to elaborate on any questions we had, and above all, extremely friendly. We were initially thinking about doing a-la-carte for the evening, but after Dana described that my wife and I would be receiving different dishes for each course if we both got the tasting menu and could try out everything between the two of us, we immediately said yes. I love that Rich Table does this!We started our meal with cocktails and they were both very well balanced. Neither were alcohol forward at all, and were as described in terms of flavors. We ended up getting two cocktails each because we couldn't decide on just one. "In High Du Monde" and "Nutty Confessor" were my personal favorites.Since many reviews go into the dishes course by course, I'll spare the details here and just go over the highlights. My favorite dishes of the night were the porcini doughnuts with umami powder and raclette, the uni cacio e pepe, and crispy sunchoke risotto. Everything was perfectly seasoned and not once did I ever wish something was more salted.Course timing was perfect as well. I never felt like I was rushed between courses. Portion sizing was just right as well. I felt satisfied after our meal and not overly stuffed, and definitely not hungry.Rich Table is one of the best meals I've had in a long time. I would 100% recommend stopping by for a date night or special occasion if you're able to snag a reservation.
Amazing food and even better customer service! Our table
Amazing food and even better customer service! Our table for our reservation wasn't ready on time and they accidentally brought a meat dish to a pescatarian (neither of which were a big deal - they were super busy!) but everyone was so thoughtful and gracious. We were brought at least 4 extra food items for free and given free drinks. The food itself was also amazing. Highly recommend!
The "donut" was amazing -- HIGHLY recommend.
Even the fresh crudite plate was so fresh. ALL of the desserts are worth ordering. 10/10 -- highly recommend this place.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Rich Table San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Rich Table San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Rich Table San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Rich Table San Francisco!
