   We reserved for the Hanukkah dinner and when we asked about it, we were told it was sold out. We should have been notified. Ordered the short ribs which were good but very salty. Service was very good.

   Overall good special Hanukkah menu. Latkes fried in duck fat are great. Brisket was very good. Kasha dish very tasty but could have used more kasha. Donuts were the weakest link.

   As someone with food allergies I greatly appreciated that our servers first question was “are there any food allergies to be aware of” and then she proceeded to work with the chef and highlight the menu items I could have. Service was spectacular.

   Good service, and food was ok. Very short wine pours, stick with a cocktail.

   Food was excellent all around--beet salad, pasta with porcini, duck, and panna cotta. Sat outside because it was quieter; this was a good choice for conversation but service lagged a bit (I assume this was mainly because we weren't in the main dining room). Will definitely be back though because dinner was delicious!

   We had a wonderful dinner at Delfina Restaurant last night. We ordered a lot of items and loved every one of them (except the gelato which seemed a bit freezer burned... but the pavlova made up for it!). The whole fish, the ragu, all of the sides (chard, Brussels sprouts, etc.), the pizza, etc. Everything had the best of ingredients and unusual (and very tasty) preparations. The service was attentive and friendly... overall, it was a great experience. We'll absolutely return.

   One of our favorites in sf. First came here 9 years ago when scouting out a law school for my girlfriend. Just went before my fiancé and I moved away from the city after almost a decade for our “last meal”. Though much has changed in SF, including Delfina, still one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Their spaghetti is one of the best ever. If they have risotto get it. The calamari is a banger. The sformato is like a Parmesan flan, insanely good. They even treated us to a free dessert wine to wish us goodbye. We will miss you and we will be back

    Food and service were great as always but I found the thrasher/punk music last night totally detractive from the experience. Please play music that doesn’t make me want to bang my head against the wall and leave.
