Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Haight

Amazing spot. Second visit in a week. Celebrating my 50th. Great food, service and atmosphere. Definitely on the pricey side but for occasional celebrations it’s great.

other than being served chicken consommé before we were asked what our food restrictions were it was a lovely afternoon tea at the Rotunda. my fiancé is English and he was impressed! the staff were friendly, accommodating and happy to serve us. the food was surprisingly filling. desserts were decadent. sandwiches were scrumptious. the NUIT À VERSAILLES tea was fragrant and soothing especially after getting drenched in the morning rain. the ambiance was delightful as its history.

This is what an excellent dining experience is about. From the greeter at the front, full of warm welcomes on a rainy evening to the general manager re-seating us due to a wobbly table we had the most amazing evening. Service is excellent, Christian and the house managers were attentive polite and professional. The sommelier as well chose our white and red wines and nailed it! The food goes without saying, we had pear salad, crudeo and pasta. The special white truffle pasta as a share was amazing. Duck, scallops, lobster pasta as mains. Benigets for dessert with a vanilla and dark chocolate sauce. Cocktails also supreme, old fashioned, martini's and a Paper Plate! We really had such a wonderful time and it reminded me of the wonder of our city and the talented restaurant chefs, and servers in the Presidio.

Food was absolutely incredible, service impeccable, restaurant soo beautiful!

What a find! Food choices were great- love the fact they are shareable as it's hard sometimes for my wife and me to try different things at a restaurant with individual/full portions. Quality was excellent as dishes are innovative, accurately described, and tasty. Don't pass on the caviar potato cloud (insider tip- order one for yourself instead of sharing)! And the drinks are also innovative and quite balanced in their flavor profiles!
