The Progress San Francisco Reviews
Amazing.
Such a very special treat to come to this beautiful setting, to experience SO many fabulous interesting flavors, gorgeous design, and to be treated with care and friendliness, without feeling we have to be on our best behavior. Incredibly fresh vibrant ingredients, magical sauces, beautiful presentations. I've gotten to eat here about 4 times, and I always get so excited savoring the many flavors that I don't want to have conversations about anything else while I'm eating! There is a lot to love. The delight of all the textures-- it seems to be a signature to have some interesting flavorful crunch where you wouldn't expect it. Like the soft sweet ultra-fresh Zapallito squash with a so-delicate light tempura coating and lovely velvety orange flavored sauce -- it would just about be complete as is, but then it's contrasted with tiny cumin-spiced pistachio bits, and fresh little greens-- the perfect flavors to engage your whole being! So many details just right: fun background music with great sound system but never in the way of conversation; amazing wood furniture that invites stroking; beautiful natural light, lots of plants, good design everywhere. Yet unpretentious! Staff is attentive, friendly, and everyone seems real (so, you know, if they see me wanting to slurp up that last lick of sauce before they clear it, we can all enjoy that sentiment!) And to have the meals timed to our own eating pace (yes they unobtrusively keep an eye out to see when it's time to fire up your next course) all made for such special memorable meal experiences! Oh, and I didn't even get to swooning about those desserts! Just wow. They are not oversweet, but also full of captivating flavors. Like who would think of fresh thyme and buckwheat crepes with their dark chocolate ice cream?-- but the earthiness and fascinating zing pairs wonderfully, topped off with the most delectable dark cherries I've ever eaten. I wouldn't recommend passing up dessert, even if you don't think you need it. Mmmmmm. Thank you all who have made these special experiences possible!
A remarkable dining experience not to be missed! An
A remarkable dining experience not to be missed! An eclectic mix of flavors and textures. Highly recommended!
Came here for an anniversary dinner and I can proudly say
Came here for an anniversary dinner and I can proudly say another Michelin star restaurant has been experienced. From the service to the food to the drinks, this is truly one of the best that sf has to offer. To start off, the one punch man was a knockout cocktail that was a rum and bourbon base with pandan that was slightly sweet and smooth. For dinner we tried the tierra vegetables masa dumplings, tomato and eggplant, turmeric grilled alaskan halibut, and bbq liberty farms half duck. Each dish was fresh, unique, and delicious and the star had to be the duck dish. I love duck and this was the best I've had it even down to the presentation and fried rice that was paired with it. The service here is fantastic and the style felt upscale and modern. Truly a fantastic experience.
Very nice dinner, but not necessarily where I was expecting.
The food was overall great, service was a bit uneven.. We waited a very long time between our second and third course while entree to dessert time was instantaneous. They add some random 6.5% charge which is very disappointing - wish they would include that in the menu prices instead. We got Potato caviar cloud - not as good as I expected, cloud was too soft, caviar got lost. And it felt like it needed a runny egg. Crudo- very delicious, great flavors, hard to screw up crudo any way but this was a good specimen. Progdog- gotta say this was the best hot dog I've ever had. It's very satisfying. Duck - was really expecting a great duck based on reviews and it was... Good. The rice was the highlight, so delicious and crispy parts were the best. Duck itself was okay - very mild flavour and I've definitely had lots of better duck breasts. The duck leg was actually really good though. I would not get it again if I came back. Semifreddo - wow!! Amazing dessert, such interesting combination. It had a jam at the bottom which I think actually took away from the dessert and made it a bit too sweet but really standout.
Excellent food and service! Their cocktail program is
Excellent food and service! Their cocktail program is equally amazing. The menu is meant to be shared family style and you can't go wrong with anything here. Highly recommend trying the famous duck entree and the secret menu item: Prog dog (their take on a hot dog).

After re-evaluating The Progress with a second trip, the smoked duck makes it worth the trip.
Delicious and creative food, very generous portions, great
Delicious and creative food, very generous portions, great airy ambience, friendly service, amazing cocktail, what more can I ask for? I feel like the chef here is my food soulmate. Every dish had sth I loved, morel in the pasta, Cornish hen in schnitzel, shrimp remoulade, amazing duck and fried rice, runner beans in the salad, crunchy mix on the butter, etc, I am definitely coming back for more!
My wife and I felt like eating at a one Michelin starred
My wife and I felt like eating at a one Michelin starred restaurant. We were able to get reservations here the night before. Upon entering, the restaurant was very light, airy and clean. Noise level is on the higher side. The format here is family style. Service was excellent. Everything looked good on the menu. My wife cannot take any type of spicy heat. Tried to stay away from that. We ordered: josey baker whole grain bread 4/5: came with homemade butter topped with nuts. The bread tasted fresh but wished the whipped butter had a stronger butter flavor. riverdog farm pig head 4/5: this was a cured ham on top of fennel and lettuce with a citrusy sauce. This was very good, but a bit too spicy for my wife. burrata & crispy scarlet runner beans 5/5: this surprised me as I didn't expect the beans to be that crispy. This was served with some peaches on top. The flavor combinations put together was very good. Again, it was bit too spicy for my wife. hikari farms cucumber & strawberry salad 4/5: this tasted very fresh. I liked the cojita cheese on top. I didn't think would be spicy, but it was, so my wife could not eat too much of this either. bbq liberty farms half duck 5/5: this was the star of the night. Loved that each piece was charred on the top yet cooked perfectly so that it was not dry. My only request was that a half portion could be offered when only dining with two people. So good, but ended up taking some home. earl grey old fashioned donuts 3/5: this was a bit on the dry side, needing the ice cream that accompanied it. My wife liked it, but I would not order this again. buckwheat crêpes 3/5: these crepes were good accompanied by bittersweet chocolate ice cream and cherries. The combination was good, but would try another option next time. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at The Progress. I wished more of the dishes were not spicy, so that my wife could enjoy it more. The spice level was perfect for me though. So if you are the type who does not like spice, beware. Other than that, great experience.
I've been wanting to try this place for a while.
I've really like State Bird Provisions and have dined there many times before and after the pandemic. Upon entry? The space is very nice. Upscale, but not pretentious. We did have a later reservation (9pm) and I think that played into our service taking a dip at the end as it was the end of the service and people wanted to go home (we were still gone by 10:30 so we were not even close being last to leave as more than half of the tables were still filled). The service started well, our server was nice. We asked ordered the halibut crudo, the bread with apple cider butter, the cucumber and bbqwere suggested to get the smoked peas and wasabi, so we added that to our order. The server came back and said they were out of the lamb on the menu, but that they had a braised lamb substitute. I like braised lamb so we agreed to it. First came the bread and the crudo. Both were very nice. The apple cider butter was a really good accompaniment to the bread. So far so good. Then came the strawberry and cucumber salad. The level of spice was a surprise for my dining partner and myself. I like spicy and he didn't like it so much. Spice aside, the salad was interesting, but didn't fully work. We probably left about 25% of the salad on the serving plate. Then came the smoked peas. To me, one bite and it was inedible. Incredibly smoky, the balance of smoke from the roe and the peas to the rest of the dish was incredibly unbalanced and not worth eating. My partner got 2 bites in before giving up. 80% was left on the plate. So, here is what gets me. The server didn't ask how things were going. And when a diner eats almost none of a dish, that's really telling you something isn't right. I'm not gonna be a Karen and make them hear my complaints in real time, but it also isn't ideal in my opinion. We felt that our server wasn't invested in our dining experience. Then came the lamb. No exaggeration, there was about 4 bites of lamb for the whole plate . And one of my bites had a large piece of cartilage. Pretty disappointing for a dish of this price. They should have just 86'd the lamb entirely because this pivot wasn't working. We decided to forego dessert based on the service and food quality dipping so we paid our bill and called it a night. Really wanted to like this place, but that night they were not firing on all cylinders.
Food was really good.
Just felt like they rushed us out. We were only there an hour and a half
Half Duck, Full Experience!
I’m always a bit nervous to dine at a restaurant I have high expectations for — The Progress is one of those rare beauties that absolutely lives up to its reputation. From the service to the decor to the food, everything was exceptional. Our waitress was attentive but not overbearing, and the lighting was bright yet cozy — not particularly romantic, but certainly intimate. The menu rotates seasonally and offers a mix of fusion Californian fare. We started with the smoked sausage, which was flavorful with a bit of sweetness — it wasn’t overly porky and we liked that it was make entirely in-house. Our next dish was asparagus and lime tofu, which turned out to be surprisingly delicious, and would’ve been our favorite of the night if it hadn’t been for the duck. But wow, was that duck something else. The presentation was gorgeous, and it tasted even better than it looked. It was an extremely large portion, and we couldn’t finish it between the two of us (they were kind enough to pack us the leftovers, but the fatty duck wasn’t as good the next day. We’d recommend splitting the plate between three or four people and adding on a second, smaller entree to share). We closed the meal with the mochi donuts, which while good were nothing in comparison to the rest of the dinner. Dessert could be skipped in lieu of another of the creative appetizers or sides. Overall, The Progress will stand as one of the all-time best meals we’ve had in SF. It’s well worth the work securing a reservation and the accompanying price tag (which, notably, didn’t break the bank too much).
Our New Favorite SF Restaurant
After many years of not eating here we have had 2 meals in the past 3 weeks. The menu changes all the time, but remains inventive. We had 3 appetizers and a main, and liked the appetizers the best. We had the mulberry toast, with fromage blanc and wasabi, the peas and the halibut crop, all of which were outstanding. We shared the main, halibut, which also was great. Tom, the sommelier, usually has some ‘secret’ wines by the glass, so make sure you ask about them. Last night they had a great gruner veltliner for $15. Service was excellent. Bottom line: we will return again soon.
Simply amazing.
The duck alone was worth it but the service, ambience and overall vibe of this place made our anniversary dinner an absolutely stellar experience. Radicchio salad: 9/10 Caviar Potato Cloud: 8/10 Sausage: 9/10 Steamed black cod: 8/10 Half Duck: 10/10 Dessert - Semmifreddo: 9:10
A+ for service and food.
It was our first time here and our server gave us some recommendations on what their popular dishes are and the number of dishes we should order. We got the potato cloud, scallop crudo, seaweed noodles, and duck. Everything was delicious but the highlight was definitely the duck with fried rice and kimchi. It was more than enough food for two of us but I got to pack some home and eat it again the next day so no complaints. Overall, we had a great time and would love to visit again with a bigger group so we could try more dishes.

Went for my boyfriends birthday and had an amazing experience! The service was personable and the food was very unique and delicious. I definitely recommend the trout

I had some spectacular cocktails and some dishes were super good. I was a little underwhelmed by the duck, though it was still tasty. Service was pretty good, we had a lot of servers, some were fantastic. It's a good vibe, a bit rowdy for the price in my opinion.
Our absolute favorite Michelin spot in the city! Previously
Our absolute favorite Michelin spot in the city! Previously recommended, this year, finally got their well deserved star! Everything is always delicious and cooked perfectly. Paired with an awesome cocktail menu, service, and wine list for days you can't go wrong here!
We had heard great things about this place and had a nice
We had heard great things about this place and had a nice night out, but unfortunately for the price can't really give this place more than 3.5. Less than half of the food was good (the fried cauliflower, artichoke toast and tofu), most of it was average (the cod, the lamb and broccoli). The ambience and presentation was super nice, which is probably why people like this place. Big space and not overly loud either, like some other dinky places. Drinks were unique and well made, like any other decent overpriced cocktail bar in the city though. Cool date spot I'd recommend for drinks and apps, skip the main course.
Came here for a birthday dinner a few weeks ago and
Came here for a birthday dinner a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Absolutely loved the open element of the restaurant and all the trees/plants gave the restaurant an island/outdoor vibe in a very pleasant way. Service was ok; I expected better from a Michelin restaurant. Our server was wonderful, as was the entire waitstaff, but unfortunately they seemed understaffed, so service often took a while (even things like getting the check/paying took about 15 minutes). There was also longer than ideal waits from when ordering food to it coming out and we waiting a good 30+ plus minutes for the main course. We ordered their bread and butter which was good; nothing super outstanding. The potato cloud was very interesting and delightful with wonderful textures and flavors. The brown butter seaweed noodles were really good - lovely flavor, perfectly cooked, and overall a very unique, wonderful dish. I was skeptical of this dish, and was very happy to find it so wonderful. I particularly enjoyed burrata & scarlet runner beans -- I was very hesitate with those flavors, but everything worked together wonderfully. Absolutely loved this dish. Now onto the main course: the duck. Sadly, we were very disappointed in this. The duck breast itself was cold and tough and lacked any interesting flavor. The fried rice it came with was also extremely bland. I forced myself to eat as much of it as I could as not to waste it. We were very excited for this dish, and it was truly disappointing. The three dishes we had were very fun, unique, and wonderful, so we would return to try other dishes on their menu. It's a great restaurant if you're looking for unique flavors and dishes.
Excellent spot near/in Japan town.
The food is solid and the vibe is warm and cozy. Great for dates or just hanging with friends. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive. If you have the time and a the need for some delicious food/drinks, do not hesitate to come here.
It was amazing to be back to the Progress.
The service is very professional and their food is great. The restaurant is not as busy as before, I remember we had to make reservations many days ahead of time before pandemic
Spent Valentines Day 2024 and a monthaversary at The
Spent Valentines Day 2024 and a monthaversary at The Progress, after having been to State Bird a year ago. (Sister restaurants FTW! And they are not just sisters, but they are neighbors... literally) Made reservations a couple days in advance through Open Table and upon arriving, I was greeted and coat checked. Ambiance is classic, modern, relaxed vibes with tables, booths, and bar seating. Interior is dimly light, perfect for date night! We ordered: Hokkaido Scallop Crudo, Caviar Cloud, Artichoke Toast, Smoked Andouille Sausage, Dungeness Crab & Parsnip Anglotti, and the Chocolate Rye Cake. For drinks, One Punch Man. The Caviar cloud was a miss for me. While the play on texture with the cloud like potato and crunchy bits were fun, the caviar itself was a miss. Super tiny caviar that was saltier than normal for me. The Sausage dish was also a miss. Nothing fancy... taste like the hot dogs my mom puts in her Filipino Spaghetti. However, the Scallop, Artichoke Toast, and Dungeness crab dish made up for it. The cheese with the artichoke and black trumpet mushroom was a match made in heaven! The whole dish complimented itself incredibly well. And the toast was PERFECTLY toasted.... not too toasted where it's crunchy and scrapes the roof of your mouth each bite but just the perfect amount of crisp. The scallops were fresh and had tons of flavor. The dungeness crab with anglotti and truffle was CHEFS KISS!! The best pasta like dish I've ever had, and it beats out Flour + Water/Penny Roma pasta for me. Service was kind - made sure we were taken care of promptly and that we had water at all times. Happy to have had the chance to dine here!
The only Progress I made at The Progress was emptying those
The only Progress I made at The Progress was emptying those plates,,., My boyfriend and I visited The Progress on a Saturday night. The ambiance struck us as a cute date spot (We saw many couples at the bar and the tables as well). We were sat down in a cozy table under the staircase. The lighting was perfect: dim but enough light to see it all. We ordered 3 dishes to share among the 2 of us (mind that the Smoked Duck is a large shared plate). - Tierra Vegetables Masa Dumplings (3/5): Think of Costco tamales with fancy sauce... just not exactly what i had in mind... - charred arrowhead cabbage & crispy galangal tofu (5/5): Well-delivered salad - Smoked Duck (5/5): the CROWN JEWEL! I would return again and again for this dish! The service was fantastic! The servers took the extra step to make our night special as we were there to celebrate a special occasion. Overall, I would return... for the Smoked Duck and the Service...
Underwhelming
I made reservations based upon the NYT “Top 25 Restaurants in San Francisco”. Was difficult to get reservations. Got reservations on A Monday at 5:30 pm. Arrived early…does not open until 5:30! Asked for a quiet table for my wife’s birthday. Got a 2top along the banquet. The restaurant was filled by 5:35! Our server was pressing to give our entire order immediately on the philosophy the food is served family style. Wanted to have cocktails first…so I told the server not to order and bring the food while we were having cocktails. Needless to say the salads were delivered after a few minutes of receiving the cocktails. The server who delivered the salads stated that she did not know we wanted to wait. This is a major problem with this and many other restaurants in the USA. We ordered the winter citrus salad and the roasted cauliflower salad (which was largely broccoli). Both had similar sauces and masked the underlying flavor of the vegetables/fruit. The main course was the bone-in pork chop. The Bone was separated from the meat and was overcooked and dry. The sauce was cloying and overpowered the meat itself. Was very disappointing. The other dish was pasta with crab. Mostly pasta with only a hint of crab. Taste was OK but not great. Wine list and cocktails OK. Service was harried and deemed mediocre. Overall for the price of the food it was clearly substandard. Expect to pay a lot for mediocrity. As another reviewer said this is no “progress”. Hard to want to return for a second chance.
An epicurean delight
This restaurant was a great experience from the minute we walked in. The service impeccable, the ambiance fun, and the starters and main courses phenomenal. Hubby’s black cod dish was probably the best seafood dish we’ve ever eaten and daughter’s lamb was scrumptious. Desserts were hit and miss but ice cream cake was delicious. You will be amazed as to how flavorful the dishes are!
Great food, poor wine service for a Michelin starred restaurant
Great food, great wine list. The duck was stupendous. Wine service for a Michelin restaurant was disappointing to say the least. Should be no excuse in a place like this. Took the shine off what could have been a memorable evening
Fantastic
We tried many dishes, all mom which stood out for the delicate taste, creativity of preparation and presentation. The duck was exquisite. Also, excellent wine list.
Can’t wait to go again…Delish!
Fabulous dinner from start to finish…something for everyone including gluten free too …great service,,,highly recommend
Fun & Delish birthday dinner :-))
Highly recommend...just had the best birthday dinner with family....Daniel, Eric, Thomas & Suzanne took Excellent care from start to finish...can't wait to come again ....Yum!!
Spectacular Food in Warm Environment
Food: This is arguably the best culinary adventure of my life so far and loved that it's served family-style for everyone to share. We ordered the following 8 dishes (below). All were extremely fresh and tasty but the burrata & scarlet runner beans were my absolute favorite - the perfect combination of textures (crispy beans and melt-in-your-mouth burrata) with the marvelous layering of flavors (earthy beans, creamy cheese, topped with zesty pomelo). caviar potato cloud 12. - almost like a potato-flavored bubbles around salty, briny sea bubbles riverdog farm pig head 16. fennel, shinko pear & chile fish sauce - tender, almost paper-thin sliced salty contrasted with pear burrata & scarlet runner beans 20. pomelo, avocado & lemongrass-guava (see above) zuckerman farm asparagus 17. carmelized onion & marcona almond - tender asparagus with delectable savory onions paired with crispy almond coal roasted peas & crispy galangal tofu 16. rhubarb, cashew, rau ram & lime local halibut crudo 22. cherry aguachile, fava beans & basil grilled alaskan halibut 42. artichoke barigoule, alubla blanca beans & green garlic - perfectly cooked halibut fried ‘whole’ mcfarland springs trout 72. blue corn, mandarin, tomatillo & salsa macha - black-rice batter perfectly protected the trout allowing it to be cooked to perfection Service was almost impeccable. The only downside was our party had asked for hot water and lemon, which the server agreed brought the hot water but forgot the lemon. We reminded her again but by the end of service she still didn't bring the lemon. Not a big deal, especially given we arrived towards the end of service (8:30p) but nevertheless was a slight hiccup in our otherwise flawless service experience. Ambience: The Progress offers an elevated but not stuffy dining experience. You walk into a small waiting reservation where you're greeted by the maitre d'. You can see a casual bar area, which is usually full. The main dining room features plenty of plants, which downplay the two-story ceilings making the experience feel incredibly comfortable and not ostentatious at all. Note: there isn't much of a waiting area. I'd recommend bringing a warm jacket if it's cold outside. Value: The total for our dinner came out to $293.30 (food, tax, and tip), which is $75/person. While it is 'pricy' we felt the culinary adventure was definitely worth the price, especially for a special occasion.
Impeccable
We loved every aspect of The Progress. The atmosphere was warm and inviting - clearly a high-end place - but without feeling the least bit stuffy. The service was friendly and extremely professional. Food and drinks were both creative and perfectly executed. The chefs creativity came through in the layering of flavors in each dish. Highly recommended.
Beautiful.
Amazing meal, every time. Love the ambiance, the creative pairing of flavors, the precision and execution. The service is always excellent. Had the Scotch & Cracker cocktail - what an interesting and unique cocktail! The scotch was light and subtle (coconut-washed), and the makrut lime lent a lovely tart fragrance. A surprisingly light and refreshing cocktail. We also had the pig head, which is a playful take on Vietnamese flavors, with rau ram. We enjoyed the shaved fennel and pear salad underneath, but the saltiness of the fish sauce drowned out the brightness of the salad underneath, so that was one dish that could be improved with a lot less sauce. The seared albacore was also fantastic, with a light airy yuzu sauce that had a texture reminiscent of The Progress' signature potato cloud. The crispy tofu was really really good, but not fantastic. Great seasoning and a light crisp crust but the tofu itself (Hudo?) was too firm and lacked the refined flavor of good tofu - the dish would be better if the crisp crust were contrasted with a soft tofu center. The charred peas did not taste charred, just tasted like sweet spring peas, which is fine. The highlight of the meal was the duck. My, oh, my!! Slices of perfectly succulent smoked duck breast cooked to perfection (sous vide? steamed?) and the peanut fried rice, YUM, all the grains of rice had a perfect toothsome chew, loved the flavors of the thai basil, baby cilantro and scallion, with the finest slivers of lemon (yuzu? buddha's hand?) zest for brightness. The sesame pickled turnip greens were meh, tasted like straight white vinegar, so even though I love fermented and pickled foods, I passed on that. The collaboration with Peay Vineyards was wonderful, we enjoyed the wine flights, the Ama pinot was especially spot on with the duck, Andy and his brother were amazing. Overall, a wonderful experience, can't wait to visit again.
Variety of vegetarian options: 4/5Always love the ambiance
Variety of vegetarian options: 4/5Always love the ambiance of the progress, and the service is excellent. While I probably won't come back immediately, i did enjoy the uniqueness of the dishes and their ingredients. The Progress does a nice job of combining sweet and savory elements to create the perfect blend in a bite. Enjoyed the fall/winter dining experience and will give it a try in the summer!
We've come to the Progress 3-4 times now for special
We've come to the Progress 3-4 times now for special occasions (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.) and they never disappoint. The service is absolutely wonderful; all our waitstaff and servers were kind and courteous and informative. My boyfriend loves talking about the food and everyone is so patient and genuinely seem to enjoy the conversation. In between certain messy courses, they will change out your plates and silverware for you, and even refold your napkin. They also always ask before starting whether anyone has any allergies, which is so appreciated because my boyfriend is allergic to peanuts and often forgets to disclose that beforehand.The food is likewise great. We usually order a couple small dishes and a couple appetizers, and usually can share one meat entree between us, followed by dessert. It's so fun to try out the many different dishes, each with their own unique flavor and ingredients. Many times there's been innovative and interesting combinations we wouldn't have thought would work together, but they absolutely do! The restaurant is beautiful inside. I love all the wood paneling and houseplants and moss that are placed everywhere. We always come for dinner and it's dark and cozy inside, with candlelight and relaxing music playing. The only problem we've had was last time we went, there was a small piece of rock that had gotten stuck in with one of their dishes that uses kelp/seaweed. They source it fresh from the ocean though, and I can totally understand that slipping through the cracks. In any case, the rock didn't cause any damage, but we did tell our waitress about it and she told the kitchen, and they figured out exactly what it was and came out to talk to us about it. I very much appreciate that, and the person who came out to talk to us was apologetic and made sure my teeth were ok. Not only that, but he took off that meal from our total, gave us free/extra dessert, along with a drink my boyfriend ended up getting late. In short, nothing but class and integrity on their side!The only reason this is not 5/5 stars is State Bird Provisions (their sister restaurant right next door) is what we consider the top tier for the food itself, with the Progress not far behind. Since SBP is usually more booked up though, we go to the Progress much more often, and the vibe is very similar. I'd highly recommend visiting!

They were nice and boxed the duck for us into a paper bag.
We had a lovely dinner here.
All four of our appetizers were absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. Also loved the space - airy and tasteful, not too loud for easy conversation. The only disappointing part was the strip loin entree, which was pretty bland and arrived at the table lukewarm. All in all I'd be excited to return to The Progress in the future and would just avoid the strip loin.
The experience of eating here is a treat! Every dish is
The experience of eating here is a treat! Every dish is unique and has incredibly layered flavors and textures. Mostly vegetarian appetizers and starts, with many different types of meat as entrees. The tables aren't too close together, and the decor and vibe are rustic and intimate. They have an extensive wine menu, and you can go to the bar after your meal or stay at the table if you're with the last seating group. The staff are all very well informed of all the dishes and have great recommendations!
Great service, great environment and wonderful food and
Great service, great environment and wonderful food and drink. Can't wait to come back.
Next door to State Bird.
Very reasonably priced. I got one thing on the a la carte menu and it was under twenty bucks. The roasted cauliflower with sprouted lentils, yuba (tofu skin), & lime-pickle yogurt. Good food and service. I'm taking a star away because why would anyone drive all the way to SF to dine here? An hour of driving each way, paying fifteen bucks for parking, and dealing with homeless people aggressively asking me for money. Yikes! Not worth it. Maybe open a restaurant in Palo Alto?Michelin Star 24.
Jesus was a fantastic server.
Super friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The cab they have currently is amazing, duck great, loved the mushroom toast. Nice sophisticated but not stuffy vibe. Highly recommend, thank you Jesus!
Looking for a budget meal at a michelin star restaurant?
Looking for a budget meal at a michelin star restaurant? Well this place is your answer. I made reservations for my anniversary. The food, service and ambiance were all top notch. My favorite fish was the guinea hen. It tasted like premium pork - so tender and juicy! The caviar potato cloud was also really amazing. I enjoy the soft fluffy texture which melts in your mouth. We ordered 5 dishes and the bill came out a total of $150. I have no complaints about this place and would high recommend all foodies to tryout this place.
Down to earth and extraordinary
Though this is among the best and most adventurous meals I’ve ever had, this is not a hoity-toity place. It’s as down to earth as it gets. The Maitre d’ had sparkling eyes and a killer smile and was friendly and helpful and not dressed up at all. The waiters were kind and funny and personable. And the food was unique and delicious and nuanced and complex and — I have to say it again — DELICIOUS. Everything we tried was scrumptious and had many levels of flavor. If you like food adventures, this place is for you.

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
* ImmortalStep65, 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.
* ImmortalStep65 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ImmortalStep65 for any questions Peter may have as ImmortalStep65 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ImmortalStep65 now uses their connections at The Progress 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 ImmortalStep65 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, ImmortalStep65 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ImmortalStep65'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 The Progress San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
