Loved this place! Came in a large group and ordered family style and we all had a great time. I don't recall everything we ordered but recall we liked everything we ordered. Reservations recommended - it can get busy.

Really enjoyed my meal at Angler and was for sure a memorable experience. Loved the open kitchen with a live fire (their theme), really created a special comforting atmosphere. They also have a decent HH so get a $9 glass of wine and soak it all in. Food: Pacific Oysters- so fresh and delicious Parker house Rills- wow (yes you have to pay for bread) Whole Sea Bream- took all the bones out, and just left the fun of eating a whole fish! Whole Pastured Chicken- this was just a chicken but very nice presentation Sake Scallops- wow but expensive Service was spot on and very helpful and fun

Nice to see a focus on wood-fire grilled seafood. Excellent service and lovely setting with views of the Bay and the open kitchen.

I recently had an exquisite fine dining experience in Angler SF that left a lasting impression. Parker rolls with seaweed butter set the tone with a perfect blend of textures and flavors. Beet salad showcased vibrant, fresh ingredients, and the scallop crudo was a delicate delight. Koshihikari seaweed rice with trout roe was a unique and memorable dish, beautifully combining Japanese influences. Main course, featuring dried-aged Wagyu steak, was impeccably cooked and incredibly flavorful. For dessert, the soft serve sundae was a delightful conclusion, balancing sweetness and creaminess. The mocktail selection complemented each course impeccably, enhancing the overall dining experience. The attention to detail, creative menu, and attentive service make this establishment a standout in San Francisco's culinary scene. Highly recommended for those seeking a sophisticated and memorable dining experience.

This place has a unique decor and a very relaxing atmosphere. This is definitely a spot to have a no rush dinner and a spot where you can spend time to talk to your friends and loved ones. We came there for a la cart menu and to our surprise this was not it. It just didn't click. Perhaps, the experience menu would feel different. On the other side wine choices were very good

Loved my experience at one-Michelin starred Angler! Their location is along the Embarcadero, so parking is a bit tough. I loved the view of the open kitchen when arriving. The group I was with tried a bunch of items, but the MUST orders for me are the parker house rolls with seaweed butter, scallop crudo with yuzu sauce, and the grilled hand-dived scallops. The scallops truly stood out--perfectly grilled and so sweet. They know their seafood at Angler! We also tried some wines; they have a great beverage program here. Service is friendly. I need to come back for happy hour!
Be the first to ReplyWe love Angler! Every time we're in SF, we always try to
We love Angler! Every time we're in SF, we always try to squeeze in a meal there. There are many things to love, but the primary 3 are as follows: 1. The amazing selection of fresh seafood that is prepared exceptionally well, typically over their wood burning hearth, which imparts a slight smokiness that just complements a lot of the seafood preparations perfectly; 2. Being part of the Saison Hospitality group, it should come as no surprise that they have an exceptional wine list - likely among the top lists in the city - with a vast selection for every palate, including many older vintages that would otherwise be very difficult to come by; 3. Service is top notch here - again, not a surprise due to the high standards of the Saison group. Yes, I will be the first to admit that it's expensive. Not only is it expensive to eat out in general these days, it's certainly much more so at a nice place like Angler. Is it worth it? For us, absolutely yes. Is it a place we'd dine at nightly? No - it's a nice splurge to celebrate every couple or few months. If you're looking for a place for a special occasion, look no further! Lastly, the menu clearly indicates that a 20% service charge is added to the bill and I can understand the confusion on service charge vs. tip. The state and federal governments actually view the two differently - a service charge is added to the bill by the restaurant and it's a non-tip wage, mandatory, subject to sales tax, and is NOT guaranteed to go entirely to the server while a tip is voluntary, not subject to sales tax, and goes to the server (either directly or via a pool). The server literally cannot tell you that the service charge is a tip because they'd be flat out wrong if they did. Does that mean you need to tip above and beyond the service charge? Well, that's entirely up to you. We don't usually unless the server has gone out of their way to do something special for us, in which case, we may tack on an extra 5-10%.
Be the first to ReplyService is oddly neglectful despite so many hovering around
Service is oddly neglectful despite so many hovering around (water refills lacking, having to catch their eye to ask for another glass of wine, not taking away dirty plates , not asking how is food, long gaps between courses, and when we arrived we sat there for 20 minutes before Chloe our first waitress showed up, then we never saw her again after she took our order) The food though was spectacular. Heads up, they serve everything FAMILY STYLE. Every item on menu is placed in middle of table and y'all serve yourselves. We had the embered oysters, and two scallops as appetizers. The sea bass with sichun spices, sea bream and the steak. All excellent The sides were the scallop potato and brocolini. Also the Parker rolls. Three glasses of wine, one processco and one manhattan We were there to celebrate son's birthday and they had a card for him. $599
Be the first to ReplySpacious dining room with rustic decorations.
We were seated facing the open concept kitchen, where chefs assembled ingredients and prepared hot dishes. In both of the dining rooms there were a lot of large pieces of hunting decor, including a life-size bear in the other dining room. The vibes of this restaurant felt more corporate; most parties there were business dinners and one of the dining rooms was reserved for a corporate event. We were offered welcome drinks as soon as we sat down, but unfortunately they did not have a non-alcoholic option for this. Given that it was our first time dining at Angler, our waitress walked through the entire menu with us, dish by dish. She was very well trained and gave proper details on each of the dishes. This was very helpful. Our first courses were the Parkerhouse rolls & cultured seaweed butter and bluefin tuna with sanbaizu jelly & shiso. A lot of seaweed flavors in both of the dishes. The bluefin tuna was quite an interesting mix of flavors and it was served with a seaweed chip. The Parkerhouse rolls were served warm and decent, but honestly nothing really stood out to me. It tasted the same as the rolls served everywhere else. I wasn't the biggest fan of the cultured seaweed butter; I don't think this went well with the Parkerhouse rolls, either. Our next courses were the Mt Lassen trout with charred scallion preserve (we decided on this because the charred scallion preserve sounded much more interesting and unique than vermouth butter) and angler potato & sauce from sonoma cheeses. Not sure why the courses came in twos, but they did. The trout was cooked nicely and soft in the middle. The charred scallion preserve was definitely interesting and something we have not seen before, but I didn't feel that the combo was particularly pleasantly surprising. It was fine but didn't strike me as amazing. The angler potato was definitely more interesting in presentation than taste; taste wise it was just a pretty standard potato dish. We ended up adding one more course because the trout was tiny, so our next course was koshihikari seaweed rice & trout roe. Seaweed seemed to have really become the central theme here by this point. The waitress said this was one of her favorites on the menu, and it was, imo, the best dish that we ordered. The rice was mixed well and there was something in it that gave it a crunch. It was light and balanced and didn't feel as heavy as some of the other courses (like the angler potato), and I honestly felt like I could have eaten the entire dish by myself. This was the one dish that I would 100% get again. Of course, we had to finish the meal with the famous soft serve that we came to Angler for! It was a very sizable portion (for $17) and plenty to share between two. It's more dense than other soft serve and less sweet and vanilla-y. The caramel and cocoa nibs added both texture and contrasts in flavor (bitterness and saltiness). Overall this was solid and I totally get the hype. I think overall Angler lives up to a one Michelin star title. The menu has a decent amount of new and creative elements and flavor combos, some of them better than others. The main course was solid but not too surprising. Presentation felt overly simple for some of the dishes, I think especially because they served everything on a white plate (also you can definitely tell that the dining plates went through some ages and were pretty beaten up). Service was acceptable but not remarkable.
Be the first to ReplyThe service charge IS A TIP.
stop swindling your customers, we are already paying enough - 20% is already excessive.
Be the first to ReplyOther review regarding the raw and tiny lobster is accurate
Other review regarding the raw and tiny lobster is accurate ...it was tasteless to boot. We also ordered thee steak served cold and absolutely tasteless i mean these 2 dishes were $260 and were absolutely terrible. I'm sorry guys but you won't stay in business unless you address the quality of food. Potatoes were crispy on the outside but raw on the inside. This is clearly a problem. 2 stars is generous given the meal was $800 for 4 people. I don't have an issue paying for quality at all. Honestly if the food is fabulous I don't even care if the service is sub par. The service was good by the way. Everyone was professional. Red alert on food! I hope someone is reading this and pays attention because the menu and concept is good just major quality problem
Be the first to ReplyTerrible food.
My lobster was served partially raw and my wife's swordfish was not only a tiny portion but was so overcooked it was dry and tasteless. Our abalone was also undercooked and served in such a small portion that it would have been overpriced if jt were twice the size. One more thing - if you enjoy a nice wine, go somewhere else, the pours are ridiculously stingy. On the upside, the service is pleasant and attentive even though the waiter couldn't explain why the clarified butter accompanying the lobster is colored red. Background music is more appropriate for a burger joint and why are stuffed animal heads hanging off the walls?! Bottom line, spend half as much and get twice as much almost anyplace else, The Angler San Francisco needs to seriously up its game, otherwise it is a loserRichard 3/11/2023
Be the first to ReplyOverpriced and gimmicky.
Superb staff but the food disappoints. At nosebleed prices, every dish should be excellent. But that's not the case. Very uneven. Some dishes were quite nice, others fell flat. At this price level you can dine anywhere in San Francsico. You'd do better to dine someplace else.
Be the first to ReplyDined for the Michelin Star experience and our table was
Dined for the Michelin Star experience and our table was just full of deliciousness. The ambiance alone was great, greeted by friendly staff as soon as we entered through the revolving doors. Someone please tell me what is in the bread rolls? If there is anything you must include in your order, it's them rolls! Consume them while warm and lather that butter on, let this be your excuse to enjoy the carbs. A must order is the radicchio salad and yes, use that cloth bib provided while cutting it to avoid bright magenta splash marks on your attire. Hen of the Woods Mushroom would have to be a filler, tasty but drowned out by flavors of the other plates. Blue fin tuna w/ jelly & sbiso was very refreshing and the enormous single piece of rice cracker to be broken made it much more enjoyable and interactive. The Pacific sea snails: 3 pieces and it has to fall under the delicacy category, the flavor was a standout. I preferred the sword fish steak over the trout, but it might be because of the side sauce it came with that complemented the fish itself. I consider my pear-tini/cocktail as my dessert for the evening and it was quite refreshing.Great place for a group of friends or your special friend, but make sure to make that reservation. Street parking: We did not get as lucky and had to walk a few blocks away, but we definitely got to walk the meal out and see the sights of the Embarcadero, so no complaints.
Be the first to ReplyAngler is a whole vibe.
The lobster was phenomenal and it's a full on experience. We started with the oysters and of course their bread. The team at angler made excellent recommendations and took great care of us. The chicken is a must have and very succulent.
Be the first to ReplyThe food was incredible.
Wow. Not a thing on the table that didn't make me drool. To start : the bread is a PILLOW of heaven For the mains : the chicken is really good if you have a big group. This is the main dish that stood out to me the most (which is saying a lot) We also got a few drinks and wine including the Irish cream and a drink that had lime (forgot what it was) Hands down an incredible experience will be back
Be the first to ReplyI recently dined at Angles on Valentine's Day and
I recently dined at Angles on Valentine's Day and unfortunately, it was very disappointing Despite the restaurant being advertised as an extension of the well-known Saison, the only thing they had in common was the prices.The service was badly executed from start to finish. Although we had already answered an email the day before describing each diner's food aversions and allergies in detail, the waiter came and asked about them. They gave us utensils in cup holders so they wouldn't have to set the table for each course. To make matters worse, they even took away our napkins while our elbows were still on them and took away plates while we were not finished.Some dishes were good, such as the caviar from Sacramento delta, the brioche, the tuna with tomato jelly, and the broccolini. However, the radicchio was overly sweet, the trout relish was bitter, and the lion's hand mushroom had an awful Tabasco sauce. Even though the chocolate bar was delicious, it was presented on a bare plate for two people, which was disappointing given the high price of the meal and Valentine's Day.The cost was exorbitant for what we received. For two people, we paid $750, which is far too much for the quality of the food and service we received. I suggest you look elsewhere for a better fine dining experience
Be the first to ReplyMost often when I dine at a prix fixe fine dining
Most often when I dine at a prix fixe fine dining restaurant, I'm either just full or barely full. My boyfriend and I made the mistake of finishing all the bread and caviar for the first course which filled me up 1/4 of the way already. The courses just kept coming and each dish was massive. Towards the end, the wagyu was literally an entire steak. I was so insanely full before the steak course that I wasn't even able to enjoy any of the steak or desserts. My three stars are not coming from the fact that there's is too much food - more food is definitely better than not having enough food! I genuinely felt the dishes were very mediocre. Some dishes were too sour or just a little odd. For example, we had a whole cabbage that we were supposed to cut open and dig in while the cabbage was coated in this red sauce. For the price of over 250$ each, I will not be revisiting this restaurant.

The best scallop and the best oyster EVER. The staff was incredibly attentive.

Date of Visit: 2/15/2023Definitely a must-visit if you love seafood!Located on The Embarcadero by the bay, Angler is the seafood restaurant by Chef Joshua Skenes. Skenes opened Angler in 2018 after he left Saison, and earned Michelin 1 star in 2019. Angler is a sea-life focused restaurant with view of the water and Bay Bridge. In the center is the wood burning hearth and open kitchen, with few water tank on the side with abalone, eel, lobster, etc. There is another dining room focusing on the land, with lots of taxidermy which are very eye-catching. Tea Punch $18I got the tea punch with rum and champagne based, with jasmine and nigori. Sorgente Extra Dry Prosecco $15Bluefin Tuna with Tomato Jelly & Shiso $23Very special appetizer with two parts, bluefin tuna with jelly and shiso, which you can mix them together and place on the shrimp cracker with seaweed powder. Parkerhouse Rolls & Cultured Seaweed Butter $13Love the parkerhouse rolls, slightly salted.Pacific Sea Snails $20We got the sea snails from the live tank. Three sea snails with butter sauce inside. Highly recommended. 2019 Mira Chardonnay $22Grilled Monterey Bay Abalone $40Really love the abalone! With sauce made with abalone liver on the side. 2016 Chรขteau Moulin-ร -Vent Angler $20Whole Salt & Pepper Sea Bream $54Whole grilled sea bream with salt and pepper. On the side there are a piece of lemon and butter sauce. Whole Grilled Maine Lobster $90I got the whole grilled Maine lobster, and it was about medium or medium rare. I prefer fully cooked lobster.Slowly Grilled Hen of the Woods Mushroom $18Whole mushroom in chilly sauce as the side. 2017 Krater Cellars Cabernet Franc $18Coconut Sorbet $16We both love the coconut sorbet! Sweet and sour in coconut shell, refreshing and memorable.

An amazing experience, was so happy to get a last minute reservation.Service is attentive and courses were timed well . Everything we ordered was delicious . The Embered oysters really stood out , spicy . For dessert the coconut sorbet was a creamy delicious dream . A must visit for seafood lovers .
Be the first to ReplyI very much want this to be a 4- or 5-star rating but can't.
First off, the service and room are perfect, comfortable, cozy, pro wait staff no doubt. Hence, the rating. But, a restaurant of this caliber has to manage the menu much better. Just about everything was sold out on a Saturday night. I don't care that this happened on what they deemed to be the end of their week. This is Saturday night! Top restaurants know how to keep inventory on hand. Big failure in my opinion. They offered free drinks, while appreciated, is not why we were there. Either you can deliver on the menu or you can't and they clearly could not. For example, we wanted Embered Oysters, sold out, but they had fresh oysters available. Apparently, they can't ember the fresh--which raises another question--what exactly are they offering as the ember variety?What was served was very good, don't get me wrong, but what we ordered we didn't want but had no choice as everything we did want was sold out. We also experienced this on a previous visit: we ordered oysters, we're told they were sold out, and then a party seated after us right next to us were served the very dish we were told was sold out. Completely unacceptable, should have walked out level failure. At this price point, Angler has to improve or we won't be back.
Be the first to ReplyAbsolutely breathtaking restaurant.
Every detail in the service was simply amazing. Best food I've had in San Francisco. We loved our waiter Hichem and his passion for food and fine dining, he shared such cool tidbits about the restaurant. So lovely. We'll be back soon, everything we had was so delicious and exquisite!

Came out of town to try this place and they're sold out of everything. Made us wait for a table (we had a reservation) and didn't even have a place to have us sit while waiting. We had to ask what they still had available versus picking what we wanted off the menu - while ordering, at least 10 of the items we wanted were sold out!!!!! We ended up having to purchase the most expensive items to eat anything. Craziest dining experience ever.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent experience all around at Angler last night.
We had a reservation for outside but opted to sit at the bar. Our server was attentive, friendly and warm. We ordered half a dozen hog island oysters which were fresh and briny. Next we had the Parker house rolls with seaweed butter - irresistible! The radicchio salad was the most inventive and delicious dish I've had in a long time. The dressing is made of beets (hence the requisite bib) and crunchy shallots. It was well worth the splatter! For mains, we split the sea bream and hen of the woods mushrooms. That fish! It may have been the best piece of fish I've had. Cooked perfectly with a crispy skin and beurre blanc. A supremely satisfying meal. PS we loved the music. It's a mix of 80s from alternative to pop. I'd totally go here again.
