The decor is amazin?!. The food is tasty and fresh. Our server was totally incompetent. The mgr and bussers saved the day by filling in for our surer who was out-to-lunch at the dinner rush. The gap of time between 1/2 the table being served and the other 1/2 was about 15 minutes. Our waiter never came by to check on us and ask if we wanted another round. We had to flag him to order and he never got us the check. We indicated on our res that we were there to catch a show. Show at The Chapel was amazing!! Great venue.

A very concise, but eclectic menu with very interesting adaptations on tried and true favorites. We had the calamari to start, I had the ribs for an entree with the smoked potato wedges. All great. My buddy who tends toward vegan or pescatarian had the the Trumpet mushroom dish. Very tasty and interesting. Bread pudding and the Mango tart finished us! All good! Parking was easy at the Garage on 21st and Valencia and the pre-show cocktails and show at The Chapel were outstanding! AJ Lee and Blue Summit with Late for the Train opening! AWESOME! Sorry/not sorry this isn't short and concise! :-) - Nicolae

Fantastic food. We love to dine here before shows next door at The Chapel. Very convenient! This time we had our daughter with us from out-of-town which made a great time for all. We saw the show from Cactus Blossoms which was very fun! We’ll be back next week for another!

Curio SF has an amazing staff, amazing food, and just overall spectacular vibes. The outdoor patio is nice and intimate and the different bar spaces each have their own personality. The venue is great for shows (The Chapel), but don’t sleep on Curio for brunch, dinner, or drinks!!!

could have been because there was a show that night at the chapel- but the food was terrible and slow to come out. we got appetizers - so bad we decided not to order anything else but drinks. we had the. spring rolls- which was tasteless and should have been called spring roll. 1 tiny roll cut into 5 small pieces. we got fried calamari which was over fried and none could find the calamari. we orderd something else, but it never got delivered. we did sit in the bar area, and the drink service was good.

Food was underwhelming. I feel it was a tattoo of her priced for what we received. The drink drinks? We’re fantastic! If you’re going for a show at The Chapel? Eat elsewhere but grab a drink at Curio.
