   I booked a reservation because I hadn't celebrated my birthday properly in nearly 10 Years. My entire group was an ethnically mixed group of moms of all ages who were in dire need of a night out. AND let me say, our experience at Berber was the most stimulating, intimate, tantalizing play on senses we have experienced in a long time. The culturally rich menu and altogether romantic and down right sexy aesthetic of the venue was all encompassing. The performers were not only beautiful to the eye, but their performances were exhilarating and enticing, absolutely wonderfully flawless. They were also pleasant as every single performer introduced themselves to every table at the start. Aside from that the staff was amazing, friendly and welcoming and also gorgeous. The entire look and feel of the venue itself not only made you feel you were in a another world, the design from bottom to top made you feel classy and royal as the chandeliers and decor gave a feel of custom elegance. The food was exquisite and serviced in traditional Moroccan form, sharing of plates brought people closer and made the experience, encouraging the intimacy of serving one another. The the drinks were deviously strong and delicious. Needless to say, all of our pallets figuratively and literally were stirred by the experience. It as amazing, I recommend this venue to everyone and thank the entire staff and all of the performers for truly making our experience one of a kind.

   The food was average. We really enjoyed the appetizers and desert, but the entrée was okay. However the dining experience was exquisite and our server was lovely.

   Service, food and ambiance was okay, just that though, okay. Everything missed that spark, nothing was bad, but nothing was beyond average.

   Berber is truly an amazing experience. I booked the dinner show for myself and a friend from out of town. Every dish is so perfectly delicious and I highly recommend the wine pairing. It was really fun to try wines from different parts of the world. The dinner show is also amazing. It’s perfectly paced between the courses and the performers are INCREDIBLY talented. The service was also impeccable. The servers were attentive, and there were lots of special attention to detail, down to the rose water they give you for your hands at the end of the meal. 10/10 would highly recommend for a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion.

   I had my birthday dinner with a group of girls there and we did the experience thing. The food was okay but the performance was outstanding and very engaging. Most of the tables there were celebrating something and they did a good job creating a celebratory experience. It was really fun and I would recommend going there for the experience. Regarding the food, it was a pre-fixe menu and the portion was quite light so I can't judge the rest menu.

    The ambiance is nice. Outdoor tables are strangely high and seats uncomfortable. Inside is better. But there seemed to be a disconnect for the Mother's Day high tea experience. I pre-ordered three sets and a sparkler sampler. I expected three sets on layered high tea serving platters. What we received was one plate with no explanation that this was what I ordered, combined. It was also missing the olives and the scones. Some sweets were missing as well. Didn't look like it was $117 worth of food. When I asked for the sparkler sampler I got a bottle of champagne. The tea we ordered didn't come so we had to ask for it again late in the meal. One of them never arrived and we received someone else's jasmine tea. The experience was just so confusing and added stress to what was supposed to be a stress free day. The waiter didn't even welcome or acknowledge that it was mother's day. I found myself cutting macaroons and petit fours into tiny pieces to feed my family 😂 Food is a sore subject in our family so I was on pins and needles trying to manage everyone's emotions. The experience and service were just surprisingly sloppy. I was expecting better, or at least an explanation that they were ironing out some kinks or shortstaffed, but heard nothing by way of explanation. The manager did make things right for us, for which I am thankful.

    Hi Jess, we're sincerely apologetic for your poor Mother's Day brunch experience. We're ashamed that we executed poorly on all fronts on such an important holiday, and we're very sorry to have you experience that. For full transparency, we were severely understaffed and the food was unprepared for such a large crowd, which is not our usual standard. This was a very hard lesson learned for us, but we are determined to make it right for all who attended. Please check your direct messages.

    Disclaimer - this review is only for Berber SF's 2022 Mother Day "High Tea Brunch" aka, the "Les Reines: A Moroccan High-Tea Brunch". Good - Scones/Ambiance Bad- Everything else Experience was marketed as "a lush culinary journey, spanning the Mediterranean Sea, from Morocco". Imagery used on Open Table displays dishes, however actual Tea brunch was $40/person, which included about 3 cookies, 3 macaroons, 6 finger sandwiches about the size of a slice of cucumber, and 3 scones. Tea cost was NOT included, and available for $7 a cup, teas available were regular teas that you could get at any restaurant such as Earl Grey, and Jasmine tea, and $7 was only for a single cup, not even a pot. Service was terrible - no-one checked in on us without us flagging them down first, and staff forgot to bring us olives/pickles that were on menu. Tea somehow took 50 minutes to be brought out - and we had to flag down staff twice to ask where tea was. ***Updating Review to indicate that Mgmt and Owner of Berber reached out and made things right. I must give credit where it is due! Thank you much for your understanding Berber!

    Hi Greggers, we're sincerely apologetic for your poor Mother's Day brunch experience. We're devastated to know you had many options to choose from for Mother's Day, and we failed miserably to execute on such a cherished holiday. Many unforeseen circumstances happened — we were understaffed and unprepared — but that is no excuse, especially for the tea charge and poor service. To re-establish your confidence in us, please check your direct messages. We're determined to correct our mistakes.

    Unfortunately they overbooked for Mother’s Day! Some people at our table weren’t served until the rest of us had finished and the wait staff said they had run out of dishes. Still a beautiful restaurant, but I think we missed out on the full experience.

    Hi Anonymous, my deepest apologies for failing you and your family during our Mother's Day brunch. I'm embarrassed to say our team was wholly unprepared, which was evident in our poor execution that day. As a restauranteur, I'm so sorry. We are rectifying our mistakes, and I sincerely hope you'll give us another opportunity to host you with our true Berber hospitality. To make things right, please check your direct messages. Kind regards, Tony Owner and Founder of Berber SF

    So much fun! Service was top notch. It was awesome how they were able to accommodate any dietary restrictions. Unfortunately for my taste, star dishes were super bland. I was too shy to ask for some salt and pepper but for the price I should have! But food could have used for salt, seasoning or something to bring out some flavor the soup and fish were straight bland! Everything else was ok, the show is dope so made up for the lack of fun in food. I would only go back on a super special occasion invite but I am glad I was able to see and experience this place. I would go for it at least once.

    It is a very unique must-to-have experience, suitable for a special occasion. Meals are authentic, drinks though pricy are interesting, we tried different cocktails, additions of safran or rosemary were cool. We had 3 course dinner and there were only 3 performances along the meals, artists are great, two are aerial on robs, a variety would be more entertaining. Being rushed to leave shortly after baklava was the only disappointing point, we would love to stay for a few drinks to continue our celebration that was generously paid for.

    Great show, talented acts, delicious food, unique and tasty cocktails. I would recommend to anyone celebrating a special occasion. The experience can get very pricey ! I don’t appreciate how the vegetarian prix fixe with mushroom, butternut squash and Brussels sprouts was the same cost as the standard prix fixe with lamb and duck confit.

    My friend has been craving for good cous cous, and she has tried many places in the city. This is the first time we’ve decided to give it a shot and she loved the cous cous, it was perfect! I love everything it offers, from start to finish. Lovers Garden was our non-alcoholic drinks and the rose smell was like having a bouquet of roses with me. At last, the orange blossom before we walked out the door from the host was best lasting memories. Superb!

    Great spot and ambiance. Time between performs was long due to food coming out to tables and clientele having time eat prior to next performance. Kippy the violinist was fantastic. As for food, we are not big on lamb so that was a miss for us but we knew that going in. Overall we felt it was worth the price and a fun night out.
