- WWilliamVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •31 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe Gambas Al Ajillo spicy small plate was delicious as was the well-marinated boneless pork chop. My dining partner enjoyed the meal, but found the chicken croquetas to be a bit mushy and short on chicken and ham relative to the fried breading. The El Volcan mezcal was so good that we had a couple. And the Fresaflor tequila cocktail was both attractive and delicious according to my friend. We arrived early and the restaurant was full by the time we left at 8:00, unusual for a Tuesday. This was not our first visit as we live in the neighborhood. We appreciated the attentiveness of the staff even when they were otherwise busy. I don't like the separate 4% charge for the San Francisco mandates even though it is a relative common practice with restaurants in this town. Next time, my usual 20% waiter's tip will be 16%.More infoAbrazoPrice: Expensive• Spanish• Russian Hill•4.9
- RRUSSCalifornia Central Coast •11 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a reservation for 6 pm on a Tuesday. Go early. Parking is challenging. We were seated right away. The place was packed for a Tuesday night. It’s a relatively small place. Several large groups brought the noise level up to an excessive level. The menu is big. Lots of choices and lot of unusual options to choose from. Service was friendly, efficient and professional without being over bearing. The food was delicious with large portions. We enjoyed our first visit. Will probably visit again in the future.More infoThe Barrel Bistro & Wine BarPrice: Moderate• French American• San Mateo•4.4
