The Rotunda San Francisco Reviews from The Last Year
This was our first time for afternoon tea here.
I've had tea at hotels and a local tea room but felt this place was better except for one place in Canada. The atmosphere is very nice with a gorgeous dome ceiling. I remember the City of Paris store at this site in my childhood with that beautiful dome. Staff especially Charlie, our wait staff was very nice. We started off with a warm consommé which was a wonderful clear broth in a small cup. Our teas, Earl Grey and Camomile were good but I've had Earl Greys where it tasted more floral. The popovers were large and nice and fluffy and good with the strawberry butter. Finally the 3 tiers of food arrived. The top with an assortment of sweets, tiny bites of cheesecake, lemon tart, macaroon. The next level was the savory with a really good curried chicken salad in croissant, ham meat in tiny buns, cucumber sandwiches as well as salmon sandwiches. The bottom level were 4 scones, 2 each cheddar chive and ginger scones. They came with lemon curd and butter. We took our time and spent 1.5 hrs eating and sipping tea. I enjoyed the food so that I'd love to make a return visit.

Came for afternoon high tea and was great! We made a reservation and wasn't too busy. We got seated right away and was beautiful inside and helped it was a nice sunny day outside too. Food and service was quick and prompt. There weren't many tea options for afternoon tea. I expected a large assortment of options and they were out of 1 of them. The food was all great and way better than expected. Started with a popover with strawberry butter. It was so light and love popovers. The scones, sandwiches, and desserts were all delish too. Good texture, flavor, fresh, and all was really filling. Everything was good but wish the tables were a bit farther apart. Seated next to some other ladies and felt like we were in their conversation. It was a bit too close for comfort. It's a good deal for high tea and would check it out again tho.

I made afternoon reservation a few weeks in advance for my MIL birthday tea service for 3 people. We checked in at 2:15pm even though our reservation was for 2:45. I was pleasantly surprised they seated us right away and next to the gorgeous window. I was hoping they were going to do that but didn't request it. The waitress came over and she explained the add on menu and the choices of teas . We added a Caesar salad to share and it was plenty for all of us. Then the waitress brought out popovers with strawberry flavored butter. So soft and airy. I was amazed by the elegant three tiered tray was so many delicious options. The apple scone with lemon curd was my favorite. Also, the salmon with caviar was memorable. Not to be outdone by the chicken curry sandwich on a croissant. I'm so glad I made this trip to the city for this unbelievable occasion.

This is a great restaurant with an incredible view from the top floor. The ceiling dome is beautiful and looks like something out of a museum in Italy. My wife and I came for lunch and we had a nice experience. I enjoyed their complimentary puff bread with strawberry butter along with their chicken consommé served in a small tea cup. These are excellent starters. For our main dishes, we loved their truffle fries and calamari. I've never had calamari like this one; it is served freshly grilled without the breaded coating. It was delicious and was paired with this nutty spice sauce that's almost like an olive tapenade. I would definitely come back for these again. We want to come back again to try their tea time tower that has small goodies and sandwich bites.
I came here for a work lunch and was pleasantly surprised!
I came here for a work lunch and was pleasantly surprised! The waiters were very friendly and made great recommendations for the wine and food. The seafood tower had lots of variety and everything tasted very fresh. The mini Tabasco bottles were so cute and a must have for the oysters. We also ordered the truffle fries and baked Brie (not pictured) that were both delicious as well. The lobster and shrimp risotto was delicious but very filling. I took the majority of my food home and it was still yummy the next day! I saw some people having afternoon tea which looked fun and I definitely want to try next time.
Amazing Food but Terrible Service.
Asked a couple question to the waitress and she gave us this look and in a very arrogant manner said "everything is written on the menu...." then we ordered some coffee and when it came out she held the coffee at the end of the table just standing their...... waited for us to clear the table, make room AND we had to reach to her to grab the coffee... again in such a arrogant manner she just stood their.... and kept saying "here's your coffee..." with no gesture of serving just STANDING at the edge of the table. If you had a bad day take your day off and don't ruin other people's day.

The Rotunda at Neiman Marcus is a lovely experience full of history and elevated surroundings. We went in with a reservation around 3pm on a Saturday and it was hopping with people, ladies dressed to impress mixed with tourists. We wanted a banquette booth but got a smaller table instead. No problem, we understand. The views of union square and that stained glass ceiling were worth it. The tea service was what excited me. I love a mix of a lot of small things and this delivered and then some. We ordered the standard service and chose our tea. The servers are efficient, friendly enough, and swift and supportive. Our server had a LOT of cologne on and that could not go un-mentioned. So much that I have to take a star off for it. We started with a warm popover with strawberry butter, and a small cup of consommé! Delicious! I recently learned that consommé is considered a Luxury soup due to the preparation it takes to make. Very nice touch with consommé as the amuse bouche. The tower of treats were all very good and the mini desserts were spectacular. Even with the small sizes on the desserts (there were multiples to try) we ended up taking scones back to our hotel room. I can't wait to go back and I highly recommend the tea experience here!
Always excellent and that includes the service, this
Always excellent and that includes the service, this restaurant understands the value of being on point when serving folks. We were on our way to Dune at the Metreon and walk down to the rotunda for a quick bite to eat. I was slightly worried as we did not have a reservation in this place fills up, but generally speaking, you can get into a few of the tables they have near the bar or at the bar without a reservation Our waiter who was also the bartender I cannot say enough good things about. We had the margaritas which were excellent. He had almost insisted that we try the new calamari and since we both love it, we ordered it and it is out of this world, one of the best dishes I've had at this restaurant we finished with a amazing salmon over beets and I had the fresh Dungeness crab with shrimp Louie. Super amazing food as always this place never disappoints. I have not been here for their tea service as I am gluten intolerant. I do see the reviews are a little mixed on that, but I can absolutely tell you the lunch services just beyond.

I've come here several times for the afternoon tea, which is consistently very good, but today we sampled other menu items. The cheeseburger was well-prepared, cooked medium as requested. But the star was the swordfish special - so succulent and perfectly prepared! Will return to try more items on their menu. The wait staff was very attentive, and we had a lovely window seat overlooking Union Square on a bright sunny afternoon. Bliss.
Service was pretty good.
Food was a little under seasoned but that's a subjective thing. Served me a cup with lipstick stains but immediately changed it.
Disappointed in the quality of the food this time
It's been 10 years since I've had tea at the Rotunda, and this time it was not during the Christmas holiday. Since that time, I've been to tea many times in different cities and am well versed on the offerings of high tea. I took a friend here to celebrate her 80th birthday, and while the view and setting was lovely, and the service was good; I was somewhat disappointed in the food provided for the tea. The sandwiches were a bit dry, and I only had a scone and one macaroon which were just okay. Everything tasted a bit day-old. Maybe it was an off day in the kitchen.

The Rotunda - a hidden gem
One of San Francisco's best kept secrets is The Rotunda in Neiman Marcus. In the heart of Union Square, The Rotunda is perhaps San Francisco's finest settings for lunch or afternoon tea. A beautiful setting on the 4th floor of Neiman Marcus, dining under a stained glass dome with beautiful views of Union Square. As if the beautiful atmosphere wasn't enough, patrons are also served some of the freshest and tastiest food in the city. Unfortunately The Rotunda is not open for dinner but breakfast or dinner here will carry one through the day. The meal always starts with a complimentary small cup of consomme which is bewildering but quite pleasant. A favorite is the fish sandwich which is quite hearty and tasty. Breaded and fried but not enough to overwhelm the taste of the fish. The truffle fries are also very fragrant and tasteful. An excellent restaurant that should always be on one's list when visiting!
Good high tea
Elegant, good quality high tea at Neiman Marcus. Good variety of sandwiches, sweets and scones. Plenty of food to fill you up. 4 or 5 choices of teas to choose from. Great views of union square. A tad on the slow side on service but pretty friendly staff. Price is righ on with other high teas. The only thing that bothered my is that they automatically add 20 percent tip to your ticket. Overall, a good high tea experience.
A classic with a view
I stumbled across online reviews during my recent visit to SF and decided to try this. I’m so glad I visited. The food is superb and the ire is worth the visit. I had the crab salad and the truffle fries. And the view of Union Square at my feet. Afterwards, I searched online for the recipe of these amazing fries and ended up buying the Neiman Marcus cookbook. 😂 let’s say this was worthwhile. I’ll be back on my next visit to SF.
Amazing experience
The place was amazing with a great view of Union Square if your by the window. The food was delicious as well. I wanted to visit due to all the reviews I had seen prior to visiting San Francisco. The staff was super nice and went out of their way to make our dining experience one to remember.

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.
Virtual Name & Email on reservation
Hi Community,
I am new to this site and just recently bought a reservation here. I noticed that on the reservation page, it is booked under a random name and a virtual email address.
I can't find any button to change either the name or the email for this reservation I bought. So, should I just say that random name when I arrived at the restaurant? Not really sure about the procedures.
