Marlena Restaurant San Francisco Reviews from The Last Year
Arrived at 5pm sharp.
Service felt sluggish, yet it wasn't the server's fault; rather, the kitchen struggled to expedite orders promptly.While the dishes boasted impressive presentation, their flavors didn't harmonize well, as each ingredient seemed to vie for attention independently. Nonetheless, the restaurant maintained a pristine appearance, with meticulously set tables and spotless wine glasses. The wine selection offered reasonable prices. Overall, the experience left much to be desired, especially as we found ourselves the sole patrons in the establishment, enduring a two-hour wait for our meal's conclusion. We would recommend informing the staff of a maximum dining time of one hour.
If you haven't tried fine dining before in your life, you
If you haven't tried fine dining before in your life, you are in for a treat. Foliage blew me away as a beginner in the industry with staff that catered to my every need and really carefully (and thoughtfully) explained how each dish would be, including what wines best to pair them with. Each dish was meticulously crafted to perfection with an amberjack starter that accentuated the fish's amazing quality with smoked shoyu, quail and sweetbread that were so juicy without the kind if gamey smell that you get from wild meat, and a bomb a** olive oil cake that paired well with their dessert wines. Every dish felt personal with the chef's ideals and passion knowing that ingredients were locally + sustainably sourced in California and thought out in a menu that changes to the season's offerings. If you are looking for a place to impress your family, your special someone, or your office colleagues, Foliage has the food, service, and ambience that is irreplaceable for a visit in San Francisco!
My husband and I had dined at Foliage once before, in
My husband and I had dined at Foliage once before, in November of last year. It was his birthday dinner and we loved it. We decided to return for date night, and we made a dinner reservation for 7:30 pm on Saturday. We were so excited to dine here again since we had loved our experience the time before. We arrived and were seated promptly. Unfortunately that was the only prompt part of the entire evening. Every dish took between 20 to 30 minutes to come out. Dessert took even longer, about 40 minutes. The table next to us sat down an hour after we arrived and they got everything so quickly. We were finishing our entree when they got theirs. We got dessert served at the same time, which was after 10pm! Two and a half hours later. Two and a half hours for five dishes! This was a big fail from management. If you don't have enough people in the kitchen, fix the schedule. If you someone calls in sick, find another person to cover. If you can't find anyone, cover the shift yourself. Oh, and an automatic 18% gratuity when the service was this bad? That's outright theft. I would give them zero stars if I could.

First let me say, I don't generally enjoy esoteric food at high prix fixes. I know this is a thing and that many people do like to amuse their taste buds with such fare, but I am both a cheapskate and a little limited in my palate. But my fancy ass friend shepherded us to Foilage after a gallery opening and I was quietly trapped. The opening starter of diced avocado in a melange of marinated pineapple sitting in chili oil was tasty - both tablespoons of it. The gnocchi in cabbage with a Gorgonzola crème sauce was likewise tastyish. Despite the $15 up charge, the beef filet was an unimpressive piece of meat - perhaps it was punishment for not ordering the sole, which my wife enjoyed very much. The accompanying but unidentifiable accoutrements were fun to look at, but not a delight to my taste buds. The dessert choices were not impressive - the olive cake was certainly something I could and would make at home. The white chocolate budino with huckleberries was not improved by finely ground peanuts. The serving size was restrained and I should be grateful for that given my bulging waistline. The service was friendly and polite. The waiter was a bit quiet in an introverted way, but took the time to explain each dish. My companions who ordered the wine pairing were happy with it. As I faced the wall I didn't really soak up much of the ambience but the space seemed pleasant enough in an unremarkable way. The bathroom was out of toilet paper and paper towels. For me, this was a three star experience but I am adding a star to compensate for my bias against this type of place. So some may find this a good match for their dining requirements, but next time I'll get some Thai food or something.
First I would like to say that Foliage is a beautiful
First I would like to say that Foliage is a beautiful restaurant and service was excellent. My only comment is based on the menu. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and we chose Foliage based on the menu posted on the website. To our disappointment we were informed upon siting at the table that the menu was a family style with only 3 mains to choose from (brisket, sole, & mushrooms) with three sides to share for a prefix of $55.00 everything tasted good the brisket was quit fatty but flavorful. I do think the price was fitting for the offerings. Please in the future post that Sundays are a different menu from your $75.00 prefix posted. We would have chosen a different night if we had known of the menu change.
Food, presentation and quality of the ingredients was
Food, presentation and quality of the ingredients was exceptional. One thing the restaurant does is ... not skimp on butter with the bread! May seem like an inconsequential thing but it's the attention to details that makes the dining experience go from great to fantastic. Humble and talented chef with outstanding skills. Staff was professional and friendly. Great restaurant overall. Beautifully appointed and clean bathrooms. It's the blessings in the details!
We had an early dinner so the restaurant wasn't crowded,
We had an early dinner so the restaurant wasn't crowded, and the service was pleasant and attentive. The food was good but not great. The portion size is surprisingly small, even for the mains. My husband asked for more of the complimentary bread, and was surprised to see an added charge of $7 on the bill. Another thing that surprised us was the duck breast had a $20 extra charge. We both didn't notice it on the menu since the charge is located on the right side of the menu. I'm glad we tried this restaurant but we probably will not come back since we paid $267.88 for 2 people, got so little food and went home hungry. It was not a satisfying experience. The items we ordered: - Amberjack Crudo was very tasty, the mac nut adds a nice crunch (5/5). - Shrimp Toast was crispy on the outside and had great flavor (5/5). - Ricotta Gnocchi was fine but underwhelming (3/5). - Local Black Cod was perfectly cooked, favorite dish for the evening (5/5). - Muscovy Duck Breast - the meat wasn't tough but there were a lot of veins within the meat that made it tough and chewy, and I didn't like the sauce (2/5). - White Chocolate Budino - absolutely delicious, a great dessert (5/5). I wish they offered more than one option for dessert though.
Dined at Foliage on Thursday 2/15/2024 with my daughter.
We did the wine pairing. We had a wonderful dining experience. The food was delicious and the presentation was uplifting and beautiful. David our server was very attentive, courteous, informative and professional. Chef Mo was gracious to say hello - he is so nice and incredibly talented!! We also liked the area and especially loved our table near the window. We will be returning for sure!
Food was fantastic, but the service was terrible.
We had a 7:15 reservation and didn't get seated until 7:35. The waiter did not come to our table until 8 to welcome us or ask what we wanted (mind you it's pre fixed so should be faster). It took some time to get our meals, and when we did, it was not our table's order. I finally had to ask the hostess where the meal was, and she brought us our dessert instead of the main course. There hasn't been a restaurant in San Francisco that has an automatic gratuity where the service has also been good, so I blame that. Really wanted to like this place but paying premium prices for sub par service isn't worth it .
While the interior and food styling is beautiful, we are
While the interior and food styling is beautiful, we are unlikely to return soon. The food was fine, but not outstanding. In particular the kale in my entree was cold, making for an unpleasant experience. Also, there was no apology when they brought the wrong dish. Service-wise, our waiter was very nice but awkward. After we were seated, no one acknowledged us for at least 15 minutes, until we had to ask for the waiter, who came over and without any introduction of the menu said "ready to order?" Also, the wait between courses was very long. Foliage has the potential to be much better than it is. Hoping it improves because we did like the interior and concept, but it has some work to do to get there!
Tasty and friendly
We booked a table at this restaurant for a treat and did not regret it. First, I felt a bit uncomfortable as the place is not large and we were sitting right nest to the bar and it was rather loud and crammed. But, without me having to ask, the waiter realized that there was a problem and offered to get us a quieter table. The food was delicious and well prepared. Altogether, this was a great evening in a very relaxed atmosphere for a very reasonable price.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
