- EEdieVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •185 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI love that the evening simply unfolds for you with no decisions to be made. Each course was a surprise and delight. The chef is creative and really focuses on extracting the most flavor from each bite. The service is always excellent. It always amazes me that we can have this type of meal pre-ballet without feeling overly rushed.More infoNightbirdPrice: Very Expensive• Californian• Civic Center / Hayes Valley / Van Ness•4.7
- MMichaelVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •274 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoHayes Street is always good. Consistent, unfussy delicious food, friendly efficient staff and I love what it says about the owner/management that many of the staff members have been there for years. The Bay Area is blessed with many other terrific seafood restaurants with more innovative or complex fare but for a beautiful piece of fish, simply and beautifully prepared, nothing beats Hayes Street Grill. Ditto their perfect French Fries. One "ding" for a dry, lifeless cheesecake but the creme brûlée was delicious. So nice to see it really busy last night well after the Opera, Symphony, Jazz Center rush.More infoHayes Street GrillPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Civic Center / Hayes Valley / Van Ness•4.6

- SStephanieVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •12 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoGreat new find for pre-theater or concert! Food was great - unusual, great variety, well-prepared, tasty. Service was friendly and helpful. Only issue was that the kitchen was clearly backed up and our food was delayed - 25 minutes from order placed until appetizer was delivered. It would have been helpful to have had our server check in with us during that time. Still, we loved the atmosphere and enjoyed the meal tremendously. And got out on time without feeling rushed while eating. Definitely recommend!More info¡Chao Pescao!Price: Moderate• Latin American• Civic Center / Hayes Valley / Van Ness•4.3
