Spruce San Francisco - Buy Reservations

"The truffle might blow away!" - WaitressMy overall experience was excellent at Spruce in San Francisco (SF). My guest and I were outside in SF (which we all know is cold), but they were able to turn on the heat lamps. From the perfect pacing of food to the hilarious wait staff, everything about Spruce was perfection. I will, however, say that this was the BOUGIEST brunch I have ever been to in my entire life and the price perfectly matched it. Definitely will be going back whenever I can get back to San Francisco. Thank you Ireri for the great service!

I had salmon which was over cooked and a bit greasy. I would have expected better tasting food.

I came here for dinner on a Monday night and there was plenty of street parking. They will not seat you until your reserved time which is fine. The upgrade to the scallops was very good and buttery. The lamb breast was cooked to perfection. I didn't care for the dessert choices but I couldn't eat another bite by that time. They did give complementary bread of choice with salted butter. I particular liked the olive bread and the brioche. I would definitely come again!

I've been coming here since year 1 and they have always been kind and attentive regardless if I'm dressed to the nines for the ballet or if I'm in my golf attire. Love the bar and the interiors... classic transitional. Dark with warm tones and a skylight! Now they have build one of the loveliest parklets in town for outdoor dining. Small lounge with couches as well. One time I came in just for drinks and there was no seating so we were about to leave. They asked if we could wait a couple of minutes. And in 3-5 they brought in a couch and side table from storage across the street and make us a seating at the area in front of the kitchen. We had our cocktails and then the cake back up again to ask us if we'd like to go see the ballet that night. Customers seated at dinning table did not want to go and asked their server if they can offer the tickets to us. It was Valentine's Day so we were all dressed up already and only ventured to Spruce for a pre dinner cocktail and to strategically snag a car service to take us to the Marina for dinner (it was impossible to grab any cab from my house that night and Uber was surge pricing and none wanted to come to my block). Now for the food: just last week I called in for a last minute reservation. They accommodated us for 7:30 seating. I got there early and had a drink at the bar. I left my Tom Ford Sunglasses unfortunately at the bar and so someone walked away with them :(. Manager tried to find them with no avail. Moved to the table and sat down. It was a prefix mix and match. We got the Hokkaido scallops (delicious ), the lobster pasta (yum), and duck (yum), the steak (delightful). All cooked medium rare to perfection! Flavor was perfect so was texture. Wines are plentiful here (one of the thickest volume of wine boom in SF). But don't be overwhelmed... just ask for the SOM! Very helpful. We ended up with a complex low tannin red Brunello 1/2 bottle (it was a school night and we both have meetings the next day). I also had a glass of dry champagne just to celebrate my birthday before dinner. We were full and could not eat another bite... so if you're waiting for the desserts... here they are: they surprise send me with a square of cake with Happy Birthday in lovely penmanship In chocolate along with a candle for me to make a wish on a lovely pale pink rimmed porcelain plate.After that they asked what we would like for dessert and we statue we were full and were not really dessert people so they said how about the beignets and a cheese plate to go? We agreed and a bad was brought to us to take home. When I got a chance to remove the items from the bag, I found the beignets with both chocolate and vanilla creams for dipping , the cheese selections of 3 with nuts, honey comb, and slices nectarines and strawberries , and a 7" brown flat bag that container a giant cookie !Thank you Spruce for yet another fantastic dinning and bar experience (minus my Tom Ford Morgan black/black sunglasses walking away... can't believe customers of a fancy restaurant took them and not turn them in).

This has to be the first fine-dining experience where details in the service impressed me more than the food (not saying there's anything wrong with the food at all). The setting is excellent and the service is stellar, but Spruce really shines with the little flexes. Like complimentary valet for instance, nice touch. Parking isn't even that bad in the neighborhood, but I appreciate that I can just pull up on em. sommelier, niiiice touch. I mean when you have entire walls made of wine bottles, you better have a subject matter expert on deck. Also, sometimes it's invigorating to listen to a person who's a master of their craft just talk their shit. The food is good; not unlike the quality you'd find at a great steakhouse. The tasting menu is concise to say the least. It doesn't run long, but you'll leave full. And not just fancy restaurant full. Like "i might need to loosen a belt notch" full. I just didn't see the level of creativity and artistry that I've seen at some other places of this caliber. But here's the thing... I like those friendly valet guys who opened the door for my wife and I. I like that the waiters kept topping off the water glasses so much that my cousin had to use the bathroom twice during our meal. I like that someone folded my napkin when I stepped away for a sec. It's these little details in service that prevents you from questioning why this place has a Michelin star.

We'd been looking forward to Spruce for months and they didn't disappoint! Outside tables are comfy and sheltered. Service was absolutely perfect. The Ricotta Gnudi were entirely perfect, and I may dream of them forever. I had a wee beef filet cooked just right with the nicest little crunchy rosti. Cocktails were divine. It's an absolute bargain in price as well.

Spruce, which can be found in one of San Francisco's trendiest neighborhoods, is renowned for the micro-seasonal and thoroughly Californian cuisine that it serves. This cuisine is known for being both straightforward and undeniably sophisticated. Hand-shaped ravioli stuffed with fresh ricotta and bathed in a broth of tart whey with fava leaf purée are examples of rustic starters that can be served. An exquisitely juicy roulade of guinea hen stuffed with pork and duck sausage is served with thick fingers of nutty-sweet brown ale toast that are ideal for soaking up every last drop of the delicious juices. A decadent crème fraiche cheesecake is thick and creamy, with a sweet vanilla flavor and a traditional graham-cracker crust. This cheesecake is typically served as dessert. The addition of citrus segments and a quenelle of ice cream made with makrut lime, which is brilliantly tart, adds a delicious bit of zing.

My first course of scallops was perfect, set my expectations high for the night. My second course of lobster and spaghetti was not; the lobster was overcooked and noodles not fresh. Their duck was generous and juicy. The beignet dessert was essentially undercooked donut holes.The staff were amazing, attentive, excellent wine recommendations. There are so many wonderful restaurants on the west coast so this was underwhelming for us all. At least we can say we've been. If you've never eaten out you wouldn't know any better.

Our second dining at Spruce was equally as wonderful as our first visit. I've been fortunate to dine at some spectacular restaurants, and I've been waiting 20 years to finally declare the winner! Not only is the food flawless, but the ambiance and service is equally as perfect.Our first visit for dinner we had Faith as our server. I feel like all the training in the world could not teach the amount of pride and caring that she had to help make our dinner a unique experience. She guided us through the menu, explained the options in detail, and followed up on every stage of the meal to get our feedback, and throughout she always had a very professional demeanor.She recommended that our next visit we dine at the bar, to try the bar menu. Tonight we had John as our waiter and he is equally as delightful as Faith. Once again, a true genuine interest in our dining experience. The bar menu features a burger, which turned into a five course meal with all the added free samplings of delicious bites. John was attentive and caring, to ensure we had a great experience.The combination of spectacular food and flawless service makes Spruce our favorite restaurant in SF.
