The service was good but the food was barely mediocre so for a Michelin star restaurant it was a very disappointing experience - would not recommend.

This is my first Michelin star restaurant during pandemic,
This is my first Michelin star restaurant during pandemic, so exciting! their food is good as always! if you have a chance, their wine list is good too, don't miss that. The food includes a lots of fantastic ingredients, from sea to land. We are here to celebrate friend's birthday, we got a birthday cake in the end, lovely!

What a fantastic experience we had here recently.
Service was exceptional. We had the wine pairings and pours were generous and well matched. The food presentation was amazing and really flavorful. I can see why they have two Michelin stars. Our friends who joined us have been here a few times and raved about this spot. Now we know why!

Hands down, best of the best Michelin in SF!! A must try!!
Hands down, best of the best Michelin in SF!! A must try!! We truly enjoyed the food, experience, and staff super amazing! Such great teamwork, knowledgeble, kind friendly atmospher, elegant and place is nice.We did wine pairing that so good, soooo much food! My suggestion is to spread rich savory dish apart with other dish! Selecrion of dishes are really tasty. 8 dishes plus special with wine! There was a wine not in the list was serve with stugeon caviar. May I ask what that wine that was paired.Thank you!!
The menu was divine. As a New Yorker visiting on business I can say the food here is up to par with the food back home.
😍
This is our go to restaurant fora perfect dining experience.
The service is flawless and the meal is divine. Although it is expensive it is actually a good value when you see the effort they put forth. I always anticipate my next meal there!

Loved each and every dish as well as the accompanying wine
Loved each and every dish as well as the accompanying wine tasting. We also loved the service once actually seated at our table, and the set up/ spacing between tables. The only downside was that despite having a reservation, we had to wait 25 minutes for our table to be set up. The nice thing to have done in that situation would be to offer a glass of wine, amusebouche or something. We would have been happy to pay for it, though at similar caliber Michelin restaurants they would have offered it on the house. Having been to almost all of the Michelin restaurants in SF and Napa, that seems to be the one thing Acquerello could learn and improve on

Wow....didn't realize that Yelp doesn't allow a Zero star
Wow....didn't realize that Yelp doesn't allow a Zero star rating.....but I've never had reason to give a goose egg until tonight. So I guess they get one star just for being open. Important to say that I am in Sales and I truly entertain around the world. I've been to dives, private clubs, starred restaurants, etc. And because I always take care of those who take care of me and my guests, I am fortunate to access places at any time in most any place without a wait....and with a first name greeting. So when I took my wife and daughter to this place at my wife's request, the only redeeming part of the experience is that I didn't bring clients to the worst experience I've ever had. I would have been so embarrassed and it would have ruined the nite and required damage control. Thankfully, my wife and daughter were simply anxious to leave and forget it ever happened. Some insights: 1) their Somm insulted us to start the nite. When I asked a simple question at the start of the meal, he answered in an arrogant tone "that's what fine dining establishments do" as if me, my wife, my daughter, and my black Amex weren't worthy of his time or of his restaurant's time. 2) Onto the wine! We first chose our fave Italian Gavi/white....La Scolca Black Label. If you've never had it, find it. It's wonderful. My well travelled wife decided to do the wine pairing while my daughter and I downed the La scolca with the insults. My wife (who has an impressive palette and knows wine well) didn't finish a single wine that they chose/poured for her. When my buddy the Somm showed up at the end of the night with 4 unfinished wine glasses in front of my wife to finally ask if she liked the wine (why didn't they clear those??), I told him that the only wine that she finished was the Gavi that I chose. He said nothing and ignored me. More importantly they also didn't offer to discount whatever the cost was for whatever the lousy wine pairings were. 3) The food silly!! It was off-putting--no other way to say it. They tricked out the food so much that the flavors were just not good. I had a cocoa ravioli (my fave cocoa pasta btw is at Delmare which won Jamaica's top restaurant award and Chef Claudio is a god. My fave overall homemade pasta is Pelago in Chicago with Chef Mauro and he is a god too. Both are dear friends and super talented) sorry....back to the bad ravioli.....cocoa ravioli with oxtail filling which for some reason was topped with a spicy peanut sauce. Not joking--and this isn't a fusion Asian Italian restaurant. It's just a place where a ton of attitude ruins the food. Affogato btw is my fave dessert. Simple and great....vanilla gelato and espresso....at least at every other Italian place in the world but here where they tricked out that Italian staple with more funky flavors than a 5 day old nacho platter. Other weird thing on the menu btw--My daughter ordered a pasta that was virtually the exact same as a pasta that we had the nite before at Spruce. Not sure who copied who but even the presentation of the pasta ribbons was assembled the same way at both restaurants. And finally 4) the money--they have a built in service fee. I don't like that. I honestly always tip well and feel strongly that it is my chance to truly show how the experience was. Not here. You're paying 20 points with no choice for the worst experience of your culinary life. It was a shame. I wouldn't recommend this place unless you don't like the person you are with that nite or want to punish yourself for something you feel guilty about.

There's a reason this place gets Michelin stars every year.

Anniversary Dinner, Over the Top!

From the moment my wife and I entered Acquerello we were treated like royalty. We were led to a table that was set up with a special anniversary card and printed menus outlining the culinary adventure we about tp partake in. My wife and I selected "A Tasting of Vegetables" set menu with Wine Pairing. Each course was an exquisitely prepared visual masterpiece presented in a way that built excitement for the upcoming explosion of flavors awaiting us. Needless to say we enjoyed ourselves. The dinner was expensive but the overall food and experience was worth it.
😍
Superb dinner at this fine dinning restaurant.
Their chef de cuisine even came out and greeted us at our table. Excellent recommendation wine by their wine expert. Sent us some goodies at the end of our meal as well.
😍
Acquerello capped off a great trip to San Francisco for me.
The service and food quality, and the overall dining experience, is nothing short of what you would expect from a 2-star Michelin restaurant. The servers do a good job, as expected, of describing all the courses and the ingredients in each and of explaining what the recommend way to eat each course is. The ambience is quite intimate, with dim lighting. There are also complements, including truffle, that you can add onto the main tasting menu. Great experience. You also get to take home some sweets and desserts as well!

Highlights:* Elegant, high end dining* 2,000 bottle wine
Highlights:* Elegant, high end dining* 2,000 bottle wine cellar focused on Italy and deep in Piedmonte* Choice of Prix Fixe Menus from $150 - $495++ pp* Jackets are required for men.While we had a fine meal at Acquerello it did not reach my expectations for a two star Michelin restaurant. It has all the accoutrements of such, the decor is refined, female diners are given a leather bench for their purses, there are fine linens, Riedel wine glasses, Laguiole steak knifes, but the food has not kept up with the competition. It lacks the excitement that we see in so many restaurants in their price range. Servers are professional, old school, but they too lack the passion they should have.My guess is they will be downgraded from 2 to 1 star in the near future. I ate at Bocuse in Lyon pre pandemic and wondered how they could be a 3 star except for the deferential legacy to Paul Bocuse. Sure enough they were downgraded from 3 to 2 stars weeks later. Congratulations on three decades, but to be competitive you need to innovate, create passion and excitement. At some point you can't rely on aging regulars to keep you going. Our favorite bites were the amuse bouches, a couple of delicious oysters and some caviar cones. The pastas were fine, but nothing life changing. The ridged pasta with "faux foie gras", black truffle and Marsala was very good. There was nothing wrong with the olive oil poached bass with shellfish nor the Liberty Duck, but they did not sing. The biggest disappointment was the dessert and sweet treats cart. It looked so attractive but there was nothing on the cart that was really enjoyable. That really needs a reboot. I know that the owners have opened another concept, Sorella, to cater to a lower price point and younger or more casual crowd. But the problem is not that well to do Millennials do not want to come here because it is stuffy or you have to wear a jacket, the problem is they have not created a "wow" in their food and service.

Hey @EmpiricalStomach63, thank you for the question!
I answered another question regarding prepaid resis here: https://appointmenttrader.com/sellers/discussions/sellersfaq-178-exploretock-reservation#Community
TLDR:
AT will add a category for prepaid reservations which will let you set the value of what you have prepaid which will then create a 'bid premium' + equity value of your reservation. At the moment it is all-in.
You can upload the reservation and set the asking price in a way that will satisfy your entire expense.
Hope this helps!
