Restaurants near Arguello Park

Excellent restaurant. I get so bored with the average fish preps but their crispy trout was perfect and interesting. The Not really Carbonara very nice as well. And the owner offered some very interesting white wine choices when their house wines were not available.

Good tasty food and really nice service. Wine only ok. Will be back!

Nice comfortable warm ambiance. Food was well prepared. Wait staff attentive

A staple of San Francisco! Emrah’s hospitality and kindness is like no other. The Muhammara, Shrimp, and Adana Lamb were the highlights for food while the extensive wine list compliments any dish from the kitchen. We felt like we were dining at our friends or families home. If you’re looking for a true neighborhood gem or to nerd out about wine, Kitchen Istanbul is a must!

Food was excellent. Portions are good for communal eating and sharing. Servers are pleasant, not pushy about drinks or dessert. Owner went round to ensure all guests are happy with food- he explains how to “wrap” gem lettuce leaf around really crisp shrimp if one is bothered by the crispness! And it is so so nice that they added 20 percent to the bill so that it gets distributed to all staff. No more tipping anxiety to ruin an evening. V civilized. The service level and the quality of the food is such that you won’t mind the 20 being added on upfront!
