Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Tenderloin

Did not meet my expectations for the reputation. Although the food was good it wasn’t outstanding. Little pricey. The service was outstanding and staff were friendly.

Nick, the server was fabulous. We go once or twice a year as we live out of the area and we look so forward to it. Everything was perfect except my lasagna wasn’t as it was last year and was a little dry and lacking sauce. I was surprised the wine was excellent. The salad was perfect. The bread was to die for overall I love going there, especially in North Beach.

Festive Holiday Dinner and Atmosphere in the Heart of Nob Hill with the intimate yet lively vibe of the neighborhood continued into the restaurant and warm high level service! We enjoyed a romantic cabana table for our holiday dinner and the fresh surf and turf were prepared to perfection! We will be back soon for another dinner with friends before end of the season.

I had been to Ula restaurant a few times. This is my favorite restaurant whenever I go to shows with other friends and I even took my husband to dine at Ula after the show. So I mentioned it to my friends since it is near to Curran theater where we watched the Golden Girls Live show last night. We were accommodated nicely including another person to the reservation. We sat in the back in a beautiful booth. We were given an extra chair for the 5th person. For Tapas, we ordered the Octopus Carpaccio, Chicken Pastry and Truffle Fries. For the Main Plates we had the Spanish Paella & Crema Di Stracciatella and Bread Service. My friends told the server that we were celebrating mine and another friend’s birthday. Also we mentioned that we were going to see a show that the restaurant offers 10% off for restaurant dining. These are good perks they offer from happy hour (20% off), hotel guest (10% off), theatre & concert goers (10% off) & wine shop (50% off to go orders only). The service was superb. The owner passed by and said hello to our table. He was delighted to see us all wearing in red tops. Again the friends mentioned we were celebrating birthdays and after going to see the Golden Girls Live show. He wished me and my friend a happy birthday. The food was so delicious and delectable. My birthday friend ordered margarita for drink and the rest we ordered a bottle of Merlot (Chateau Le Bonnat Graves). I am a Cab person but the Merlot was medium body and was smooth and well-balanced. We the birthday gals were surprised by two separate cakes with candles. We had Tiramisu and Chocolate Truffle Mousse cake. They were so delicious and the flavor was mild and the mousse was rich but not intense. The cakes were complimentary which was a very nice gesture given to us. When we were leaving there was a live music player but the host said they have live player on Thursdays only. It was a beautiful dinner experience we had. I really recommend Ula for any occasions.

A truly unique experience, it fully deserves the high ratings. The only downside I did not feel I’m eating at an elegant and high end place even though it’s priced as on. I highly recommend my friends to try this
