This was our third time eating here. We had a lovely server, but the food wasn’t as good as the last two times. We both had Croque Madame, but the bechamel sauce wasn’t right, and the beignets were doughnuts. Perhaps most diners don’t know what to expect, but we won’t go again to pay high prices for non-authentic food.

Chat kuew Tao - mix of flat and mien noodles in soy sauce. Bland and Disappointing Sea bass in banana leaf was tender in a delicate ginger broth. Excellent. Crispy tofu - light, crispy and big portion. Excellent Roti prata - broken pieces. Instead of large sheet. A little dense. Average

We love trying different omakase in S.F., and this one was particularly excellent—interesting, unexpected, delicious. We had the nigiri omakase option, and the fish was excellent, on par with other high end sushi restaurants in S.F. But what really stood out were the vegetarian courses in the meal. Each was perfectly prepared, with subtle yet complex flavors. Every small dish was exquisite and completely different. The food was beautifully presented and the service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. It was a cold night, and the waiter brought us fresh mugs of steaming green tea again and again. Even the tea was particularly high quality and well prepared—flavorful with no bitterness. Of the many Japanese restaurants we have tried in S.F. and elsewhere outside of Japan, this one seemed wonderfully authentic. Reminded us of meals at minshukus in Japan with so many little dishes, each a delight. Will definitely return.

Really enjoyed our time here with friends, delicious food and excellent drinks (and appreciated the HH discounts for when we first arrived). The outdoor patio is really nice but we were seated inside this time. Although it's a nice indoor venue it was extremely loud and as someone on the older side (50+) made it a bit challenging with our friends. Next time I'll stick to the outdoor seating!

Impeccable service as always. New 5-course menu is more focused and enjoyable than the previous 8-course version. This should not be considered classic Chinese cuisine, however. Mr. Chen is doing his own thing while drawing heavily on Taiwanese influences (much of what is offered for sale at China Live is from Taiwan, so the quality is much higher than products from China).

Beautiful Healdsburg spot with an impressive menu, tea selection, gift shop and knowledgeable team. Ramen was tasty as was the gyoza appetizer. We enjoyed matcha cake dessert too. I appreciate how our server recommended a tea—so good with notes of popcorn of all things! And she was attentive to refilling our teapot and bringing over the hourglass timer so our tea steep time was just right.

New Year’s dinner at SD San Ramon!!! You know when they offered Kumamotos on the half-shell, the night was going to be all right. The yellowtail crudo, Banh Nam rice cake, Gau Choy Gau pork/shrimp dumplings, Imperial Rolls were our amazing appetizers accompanied by Erdinger Hefeweizen from Germany, Gunserloch Reisling Kabinett also from Germany and two cocktails, the Bumblebee and Ginger Limeade tasted perfect for my daughters. For entrees, tried the Pork Belly simmered in a rich soy broth, my favorite Crab Cellophane Noodles and can’t come here without having their signature Shaking Beef. Plus some sautéed Bok Choy and Jasmine Rice. But wait, can’t pass up dessert and all three offerings were fantastic!! Outstanding service by Kristen and the management really made it worth the drive from Alameda.

It was our first time at Tenderheart. A wonderful location and ambiance near the theaters. We were well taken care of by our servers, who checked in regularly to make sure we were happy and taken care of. I had an absolutely delicious salad, which I would love to revisit. The burrata was also amazing. I think I could go back for a few of those for a main course! We ran into a wrong food order, which they quickly resolved, and removed from our bill. They were quick, efficient and friendly; all too happy to help. We would gladly go back.

This was my third time to Rise over run, so clearly I like it . The views, the cocktails are outstanding. This is a very unique place in San Francisco. It reminds me of a rooftop in New York. The hostess could work on her people skills, but I understand everybody short staffed, and stressed. The rest of the staff was friendly, highly recommend the tuna tostada.
