The Progress San Francisco Reviews from The Last Year
Simply amazing.
The duck alone was worth it but the service, ambience and overall vibe of this place made our anniversary dinner an absolutely stellar experience. Radicchio salad: 9/10 Caviar Potato Cloud: 8/10 Sausage: 9/10 Steamed black cod: 8/10 Half Duck: 10/10 Dessert - Semmifreddo: 9:10
A+ for service and food.
It was our first time here and our server gave us some recommendations on what their popular dishes are and the number of dishes we should order. We got the potato cloud, scallop crudo, seaweed noodles, and duck. Everything was delicious but the highlight was definitely the duck with fried rice and kimchi. It was more than enough food for two of us but I got to pack some home and eat it again the next day so no complaints. Overall, we had a great time and would love to visit again with a bigger group so we could try more dishes.

Went for my boyfriends birthday and had an amazing experience! The service was personable and the food was very unique and delicious. I definitely recommend the trout

I had some spectacular cocktails and some dishes were super good. I was a little underwhelmed by the duck, though it was still tasty. Service was pretty good, we had a lot of servers, some were fantastic. It's a good vibe, a bit rowdy for the price in my opinion.
Our absolute favorite Michelin spot in the city! Previously
Our absolute favorite Michelin spot in the city! Previously recommended, this year, finally got their well deserved star! Everything is always delicious and cooked perfectly. Paired with an awesome cocktail menu, service, and wine list for days you can't go wrong here!
We had heard great things about this place and had a nice
We had heard great things about this place and had a nice night out, but unfortunately for the price can't really give this place more than 3.5. Less than half of the food was good (the fried cauliflower, artichoke toast and tofu), most of it was average (the cod, the lamb and broccoli). The ambience and presentation was super nice, which is probably why people like this place. Big space and not overly loud either, like some other dinky places. Drinks were unique and well made, like any other decent overpriced cocktail bar in the city though. Cool date spot I'd recommend for drinks and apps, skip the main course.
Came here for a birthday dinner a few weeks ago and
Came here for a birthday dinner a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Absolutely loved the open element of the restaurant and all the trees/plants gave the restaurant an island/outdoor vibe in a very pleasant way. Service was ok; I expected better from a Michelin restaurant. Our server was wonderful, as was the entire waitstaff, but unfortunately they seemed understaffed, so service often took a while (even things like getting the check/paying took about 15 minutes). There was also longer than ideal waits from when ordering food to it coming out and we waiting a good 30+ plus minutes for the main course. We ordered their bread and butter which was good; nothing super outstanding. The potato cloud was very interesting and delightful with wonderful textures and flavors. The brown butter seaweed noodles were really good - lovely flavor, perfectly cooked, and overall a very unique, wonderful dish. I was skeptical of this dish, and was very happy to find it so wonderful. I particularly enjoyed burrata & scarlet runner beans -- I was very hesitate with those flavors, but everything worked together wonderfully. Absolutely loved this dish. Now onto the main course: the duck. Sadly, we were very disappointed in this. The duck breast itself was cold and tough and lacked any interesting flavor. The fried rice it came with was also extremely bland. I forced myself to eat as much of it as I could as not to waste it. We were very excited for this dish, and it was truly disappointing. The three dishes we had were very fun, unique, and wonderful, so we would return to try other dishes on their menu. It's a great restaurant if you're looking for unique flavors and dishes.
Excellent spot near/in Japan town.
The food is solid and the vibe is warm and cozy. Great for dates or just hanging with friends. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive. If you have the time and a the need for some delicious food/drinks, do not hesitate to come here.
It was amazing to be back to the Progress.
The service is very professional and their food is great. The restaurant is not as busy as before, I remember we had to make reservations many days ahead of time before pandemic
Spent Valentines Day 2024 and a monthaversary at The
Spent Valentines Day 2024 and a monthaversary at The Progress, after having been to State Bird a year ago. (Sister restaurants FTW! And they are not just sisters, but they are neighbors... literally) Made reservations a couple days in advance through Open Table and upon arriving, I was greeted and coat checked. Ambiance is classic, modern, relaxed vibes with tables, booths, and bar seating. Interior is dimly light, perfect for date night! We ordered: Hokkaido Scallop Crudo, Caviar Cloud, Artichoke Toast, Smoked Andouille Sausage, Dungeness Crab & Parsnip Anglotti, and the Chocolate Rye Cake. For drinks, One Punch Man. The Caviar cloud was a miss for me. While the play on texture with the cloud like potato and crunchy bits were fun, the caviar itself was a miss. Super tiny caviar that was saltier than normal for me. The Sausage dish was also a miss. Nothing fancy... taste like the hot dogs my mom puts in her Filipino Spaghetti. However, the Scallop, Artichoke Toast, and Dungeness crab dish made up for it. The cheese with the artichoke and black trumpet mushroom was a match made in heaven! The whole dish complimented itself incredibly well. And the toast was PERFECTLY toasted.... not too toasted where it's crunchy and scrapes the roof of your mouth each bite but just the perfect amount of crisp. The scallops were fresh and had tons of flavor. The dungeness crab with anglotti and truffle was CHEFS KISS!! The best pasta like dish I've ever had, and it beats out Flour + Water/Penny Roma pasta for me. Service was kind - made sure we were taken care of promptly and that we had water at all times. Happy to have had the chance to dine here!
The only Progress I made at The Progress was emptying those
The only Progress I made at The Progress was emptying those plates,,., My boyfriend and I visited The Progress on a Saturday night. The ambiance struck us as a cute date spot (We saw many couples at the bar and the tables as well). We were sat down in a cozy table under the staircase. The lighting was perfect: dim but enough light to see it all. We ordered 3 dishes to share among the 2 of us (mind that the Smoked Duck is a large shared plate). - Tierra Vegetables Masa Dumplings (3/5): Think of Costco tamales with fancy sauce... just not exactly what i had in mind... - charred arrowhead cabbage & crispy galangal tofu (5/5): Well-delivered salad - Smoked Duck (5/5): the CROWN JEWEL! I would return again and again for this dish! The service was fantastic! The servers took the extra step to make our night special as we were there to celebrate a special occasion. Overall, I would return... for the Smoked Duck and the Service...
Underwhelming
I made reservations based upon the NYT “Top 25 Restaurants in San Francisco”. Was difficult to get reservations. Got reservations on A Monday at 5:30 pm. Arrived early…does not open until 5:30! Asked for a quiet table for my wife’s birthday. Got a 2top along the banquet. The restaurant was filled by 5:35! Our server was pressing to give our entire order immediately on the philosophy the food is served family style. Wanted to have cocktails first…so I told the server not to order and bring the food while we were having cocktails. Needless to say the salads were delivered after a few minutes of receiving the cocktails. The server who delivered the salads stated that she did not know we wanted to wait. This is a major problem with this and many other restaurants in the USA. We ordered the winter citrus salad and the roasted cauliflower salad (which was largely broccoli). Both had similar sauces and masked the underlying flavor of the vegetables/fruit. The main course was the bone-in pork chop. The Bone was separated from the meat and was overcooked and dry. The sauce was cloying and overpowered the meat itself. Was very disappointing. The other dish was pasta with crab. Mostly pasta with only a hint of crab. Taste was OK but not great. Wine list and cocktails OK. Service was harried and deemed mediocre. Overall for the price of the food it was clearly substandard. Expect to pay a lot for mediocrity. As another reviewer said this is no “progress”. Hard to want to return for a second chance.
An epicurean delight
This restaurant was a great experience from the minute we walked in. The service impeccable, the ambiance fun, and the starters and main courses phenomenal. Hubby’s black cod dish was probably the best seafood dish we’ve ever eaten and daughter’s lamb was scrumptious. Desserts were hit and miss but ice cream cake was delicious. You will be amazed as to how flavorful the dishes are!
Great food, poor wine service for a Michelin starred restaurant
Great food, great wine list. The duck was stupendous. Wine service for a Michelin restaurant was disappointing to say the least. Should be no excuse in a place like this. Took the shine off what could have been a memorable evening
Fantastic
We tried many dishes, all mom which stood out for the delicate taste, creativity of preparation and presentation. The duck was exquisite. Also, excellent wine list.
Can’t wait to go again…Delish!
Fabulous dinner from start to finish…something for everyone including gluten free too …great service,,,highly recommend
Fun & Delish birthday dinner :-))
Highly recommend...just had the best birthday dinner with family....Daniel, Eric, Thomas & Suzanne took Excellent care from start to finish...can't wait to come again ....Yum!!
Spectacular Food in Warm Environment
Food: This is arguably the best culinary adventure of my life so far and loved that it's served family-style for everyone to share. We ordered the following 8 dishes (below). All were extremely fresh and tasty but the burrata & scarlet runner beans were my absolute favorite - the perfect combination of textures (crispy beans and melt-in-your-mouth burrata) with the marvelous layering of flavors (earthy beans, creamy cheese, topped with zesty pomelo). caviar potato cloud 12. - almost like a potato-flavored bubbles around salty, briny sea bubbles riverdog farm pig head 16. fennel, shinko pear & chile fish sauce - tender, almost paper-thin sliced salty contrasted with pear burrata & scarlet runner beans 20. pomelo, avocado & lemongrass-guava (see above) zuckerman farm asparagus 17. carmelized onion & marcona almond - tender asparagus with delectable savory onions paired with crispy almond coal roasted peas & crispy galangal tofu 16. rhubarb, cashew, rau ram & lime local halibut crudo 22. cherry aguachile, fava beans & basil grilled alaskan halibut 42. artichoke barigoule, alubla blanca beans & green garlic - perfectly cooked halibut fried ‘whole’ mcfarland springs trout 72. blue corn, mandarin, tomatillo & salsa macha - black-rice batter perfectly protected the trout allowing it to be cooked to perfection Service was almost impeccable. The only downside was our party had asked for hot water and lemon, which the server agreed brought the hot water but forgot the lemon. We reminded her again but by the end of service she still didn't bring the lemon. Not a big deal, especially given we arrived towards the end of service (8:30p) but nevertheless was a slight hiccup in our otherwise flawless service experience. Ambience: The Progress offers an elevated but not stuffy dining experience. You walk into a small waiting reservation where you're greeted by the maitre d'. You can see a casual bar area, which is usually full. The main dining room features plenty of plants, which downplay the two-story ceilings making the experience feel incredibly comfortable and not ostentatious at all. Note: there isn't much of a waiting area. I'd recommend bringing a warm jacket if it's cold outside. Value: The total for our dinner came out to $293.30 (food, tax, and tip), which is $75/person. While it is 'pricy' we felt the culinary adventure was definitely worth the price, especially for a special occasion.

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!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
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.
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.
