Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in The Castro

Absolutely excellent experience and meal. Probably the best pork chop we have ever had! Service was fantastic from the moment we walked in to this inviting space. Friendly and extremely professional. We had not been to The Cavalier in a few years and were very pleased that it’s still top shelf! We plan to visit again soon.

Food was good, but I would say you pay more for the aesthetics. Service was decent—some staff were nice and friendly, while some were rushing and didn’t seem to care. We also got a table that felt pretty cramped as we were literally a couple of inches away from another table. The place is small, so it’s not their fault, but still felt very awkward since we couldn’t have a properly private convo.

Great location (top of building). Cozy. Outside patio was closed due to rain. Wait staff was excellent. Food was good. Recommend.

The team was super attentive from the second we checked in. Knowing we were celebrating a birthday, Bo and his team made sure our birthday person had a good experience. The overall ambiance is good, with fun Japanese music in the background allowing guests to have conversation but not overwhelmed by other noises. The chef presented beautifully made 19 course omakase. He too was polite and paced our meal based on the flow of our group. We didn’t try the beverage pairing this time, but there will be a next time!

Having to order food & beverage via a QR code and then being expected to tip on service for basically food runners seemed a bit unfair. The beers were excellent. The currywurst needed MUCH more curry.
