Best Family Style Restaurants in Noe Valley

Food, drinks, and service are all fantastic. Yes, it's a bit pricey and noisy inside, but it's worth it. Highly recommend.

I tried the Hemproot NA Cocktail, based on ginger beer and loved it. Very sweet, though. We shared an appetizer of grilled octopus, which came with some fava beans, and a lovely sauce -- it was delicious. He had a very spicy italian sausage pasta dish which he enjoyed, and I had the farro salad as my entree and loved it -- farro, butternut squash, kale, mint, spiced pumpkin seeds, and passion fruit seeds. I also had a glass of Syrah with my meal, which was great. We'll be coming back and trying more of their dishes.

I learned there is a new head chef from famous prior restaurants and food is incredible!! The atmosphere and ambiance was fun and warm that could be low-key as well as elevated. It’ll be a favorite in the area

Bistro Ember was the perfect spot for my birthday dinner date. The decor lends an intimate, warm atmosphere and the service was excellent; friendly but professional. We loved our food which was beautifully presented and delicious. We ordered beet salad, salmon, manti (Turkish dumplings) and fettuccine with prawns, which were all splendid. Their signature dessert, a chocolate coffee cake, is not to be missed. We can't wait to return and try other delights!

The booth side seats were not very comfortable. Other than that the service and food was great!
