Best Restaurants with Private Rooms in Russian Hill

The Gambas Al Ajillo spicy small plate was delicious as was the well-marinated boneless pork chop. My dining partner enjoyed the meal, but found the chicken croquetas to be a bit mushy and short on chicken and ham relative to the fried breading. The El Volcan mezcal was so good that we had a couple. And the Fresaflor tequila cocktail was both attractive and delicious according to my friend. We arrived early and the restaurant was full by the time we left at 8:00, unusual for a Tuesday. This was not our first visit as we live in the neighborhood. We appreciated the attentiveness of the staff even when they were otherwise busy. I don't like the separate 4% charge for the San Francisco mandates even though it is a relative common practice with restaurants in this town. Next time, my usual 20% waiter's tip will be 16%.

We dined in the private upstairs room with a party of seven people. The menu was huge and was the same one as served in the main restaurant. The service, including the Sommelier, was superb, and the management was very cooperative and forthcoming in accommodating our requests.

Very different, sometimes tasty, sometimes not so much. Wonderful culinary adventure that expanded our taste buds to the max. Service and ambience first class throughout.

Breakfast meeting so very uneventful. But it was perfect spot

Good place to try new wines. Friendly service. Nice for solo diners and groups.
