Berber SF San Francisco - Buy Reservations

TL;DR we had a lot of interaction with one very disgruntled staff member. The food was fine, but not worth the risk of interacting with that person again.Eating at Berber was hands down the most bizarre restaurant experience I've had in my life. They were completely unprepared for our reservation, & tried to convince us to eat inside (despite an outdoor specific reservation). When we declined because we had 2 extremely high risk members of our group, the host essentially laughed at us and told us that "no one else cared about covid anymore" and asked us "how we were expecting to avoid it" and "why are you so scared?". And that barely kicked off series of bizarre interactions. Snarky comments, missing food/wrong orders, then telling us that we were wrong and he was right. And then a lot of huffing and puffing and "fine i'll give it to you for free" even though we didn't ask for that or mention anything about taking items off the bill. We just wanted the right orders. And then at the end, every "free" item he'd given us, including an appetizer he brought out that we didn't ask for, was still on the bill. I'll end with this - by the time we were leaving they'd sat a few other people outside. The host/waiter brought out the drinks for the table next to us. They asked him which was which - but he turned and left mid-question, then screamed over his shoulder "FINE THEY'RE FREE".

My 800th review goes to Berber! Wow, what an experience!! Celebrated my birthday here in February and had the best time! It's so fitting for me to celebrate my birthday at an award-winning establishment that highlights a rich and diverse culinary and cultural experience. I must say there is no restaurant in San Francisco quite like Berber! From the remarkable four course Moroccan dinner, spectacular cirque shows featuring aerialists, acrobats, dancers, musicians, to the top-notch hospitality, it's indeed an indulgent dining experience for all senses. My favorite dishes were the duck confit bastilla and the lamb tagine and couscous. So delish!! Huge shoutout to our friendly server Ricardo for making my birthday celebration so unforgettable. Loved the special birthday shot with fire. Can't wait to return for another special occasion!

The drinks are also tasty and novel.Just one oddity that seems so petty for a place where you'll pay we'll over $100/person. They'll ask "still or sparkling water." Instead of tap water the "still water" is actually an ungodly expensive bottle of water.

Wow! So much fun and such a unique place to celebrate your most special occasions! The ambiance was classy yet relaxed and fun. The performers were incredibly talented. We loved all of the acts, but we're especially blown away by Kippy Marks' violin accompaniment. He made the show and it was fun to watch him draw the audience in. The wait staff was warm and hospitable. Loved our hostess, Megan was super sweet and wanted to make sure we had a great time. The food was delicious. The diningroom was beautifully decorated. The bar drinks were great. Miss V, the matradee, was very patient and answered all my questions about the various add on experience options (love experience for my daughter's engagement and celebration experience for my husband's birthday). I was unclear as to what would be included, how everything is set up, and wanted to ensure that every detail was planned for our celebration, so I called 4 times to get clarification, and each time, Miss Vee answered all my questions and confirmed the dinner/show details. One minor suggestion that might help the show announcer and the guests enjoy their event even more is if names of the people who are celebrating could be given in advance of the day of the show because it's difficult for the show announcer to hear and keep track of the names when she comes around to each table and she might end up not saying the correct name during the congratulatory portion of the show. Overall, super fun and special and I highly recommend it!

The food, the atmosphere and the performances were unbelievable! I highly recommend to book their prix-fixe dinner and enjoy it accompanied by amazing music and dancers. You won't forget it! P.s. special thanks to the charismatic owner who came up with such a beautiful concept

I book the experience for March 3rd, at Berber for four people I paid $704 in advance as prepay was required. I canceled my reservation in February 27th, talked with the manager Mrs. V and sent an email to Borhen the owner. Today is March 3 after few emails and multiple phone calls I never heard back from the manager or the owner or anyone else as a mater of fact. I contacted OpenTable they promised me Borhen will contact me asap, still no words. I dispute the transaction with my credit card company we shall see what's going to happened. when I called and I talk with the manager for the second time she mentioned the owner will not giving my money back. DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE. Food is just ok and shows are not worth the dishonesty of the owner.

Really cool show. Enjoyed it. Could have had better performances and performers for the 2nd and 3rd acts. There are 4 total acts. The violinist was the best and the air trapeze person was 4th and also great. The music was so loud that we could not talk at our table. Our table was also so tight and small we could not fit. They used a two person table and tried to fit 4 of us. There were a few empty tables they could have had us at farther from the door. For a Moroccan restaurant for the set menu, Moroccan tea should have been included. At least with the dessert. For $95 a head before tip, tax, Sf mandate, and drinks, the food could have been a lot better. The lamb was super fatty. The dessert baklava was not crispy but actually kinda soft in a stale kind of way.They charged us $14 per mint tea. They used mint tea bag and nothing fancy or sweetened. Then when we got water refill they charged us another $14, so we ended up with $14 x 4 for getting freaking hot water and tea bags!!Also I got a cocktail. It was good. I also got a glass of wine. I'm big into wine and so I know what a pour should look like. When looking at others they got decent pours but I got the more expensive wine glass and I had maybe 4ozs in the glass. The restaurant might respond and say it was a wide glass, it was not. My buddy got a cocktail he liked. They asked if he wanted a second and he said yes. They brought him the wrong drink. They never came back so we couldn't ask them to swap it. My buddy sucked it up and just drank it despite not wanting it. Also it was so dark I couldn't see my food. Myself and others at my table pulled out our phones as flashlights. So did most of the restaurant. I'm 33 with 20/20 vision fyi. Overall cool experience and glad I went but I think it could be a lot better.

The theater dining experience here is fantastic. The whirling dancers, mystical acrobats, and talented musicians put on quite a show. I also love how the venue is super intimate. There are only a handful of tables surrounding a circular stage. You literally feel part of the show.

The reason why this is just four stars not five is because the food itself was a bit subbar. For instance, the chicken in my tagine was dry and pretty hard to eat.

We visited to see the dinner show which did not disappoint! I wasn’t sure how I would like the food as I wasn’t very familiar with some of the dinner choices. I ended up loving all the unique flavors and the different courses of food served with the dinner show. The cocktails were also wonderful and paired well with the food. We have recommended Berber to several friends and they have also given the food, show and overall experience rave reviews!!

Came in for a girls night out to celebrate my friends birthday and what a blast!!! We sat in the backroom for the dinner show and the performances were just incredible and so intimate. The performers even come say hello when you first come in. The food was also great, very unique! Next time I’ll be bringing my husband for a date night!
