We came here twice for brunch. It’s a beautiful restaurant, reminiscent of something you would see in Europe.
We had the burger, Caesar salad, and ravioli in lemon cream sauce for lunch the first time. Not disappointing at all. The burger and salad were so savory and delicious, the ravioli...addictive.
But for our second experience we did more breakfast items which were just okay. The biscuits and gravy were disappointing, the Benedict nothing exciting. So I averaged it out and gave them four stars. Still not a bad place if you stick with lunch and dinner.
One of the best food experiences I've had in a while! I love the menu (especially the lunch!) and the service was simply wonderful. Servers are kind and smiling, hostess was very pleasant and generally had a good time.
I have been coming to this place every time I’m around Union Square. Definitely the best food around! The staff is just amazing and the food is so good I can’t stop eating! Beware of extra calories on your diet because it is hard to resist! Yum!
Always great food! They try their best to find your a table even if you don’t have a reservation and although they are super busy! Fun atmosphere. Bar service and food is great and also quick (if you are in a rush). Best location for lunch w girlfriends on shopping days!.
Caesar salad was very good and the Salmon was moist and very tender. The mushroom pizza had lots of mushrooms, it was so delicious! Fast service and friendly staff.
Cozy restaurant with good atmosphere, i have breakfast here for 5 days because i stayed in nearby hotel.
Every menu i tried , are delicious such as Ler Lux, American breakfast and salad. My group also enjoyed meal here, however food serving is a little bit slow during rush hour and open at 8AM.
My wife and I loved this Italian restaurant. The abuince and layout was very romantic. The staff was super friendly from the host, bartender, food runner to our server Bruce. He was very welcoming and attentive. Food was fresh and made from scratch very authentic. Pastas were out of this world. There selection of wine and spirits are amazing choices for everyone. It's a must eat at restaurant if your in San Francisco.
The service here was quite good and the food was very good. I ordered the beet salad which had a good variety of lettuce, beets and apples with just the right amount of dressing. I had the ravioli as the main course and at first I thought it was a small dish but it was plenty filling. For dessert I had the strawberry shortcake. Not too sweet and the cake was nice and dense. My only complaint is that it’s a pretty loud restaurant and so it was hard for our group of 7 to talk easily.
All I can say is WOW! I travel and I know my Beef Carpaccio and today, I had the BEST I’ve ever had paired with their house Super Tuscan and it was magnifico! The bartenders are super nice, Juan Carlos and Dan are a pleasant at the bar and a great start before your dinner. The food is old world. The service is amazing. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. #IWillAlwaysComeBack
Headed to Scala’s after an all-day business meeting for some sit down French cuisine. The ambience is clean and formal with jazz tunes in the background. We ordered a few appetizers to start: a charcuterie board, calamari, and cheese plate. All of which were delicious. The calamari took on a Japanese tempura spin, with not just fried squid but also some broccoli and veggies fried alongside.
For my main course, I opted for the swordfish due to a pretty heavy lunch. The fish was cooked brilliantly, with a soft, tender center. It was paired with a spinach mash mixed with a few smashed tomatoes.
Would definitely come back... a bit pricey though!
Food was simple and delicious! Our server was a little too pushy and wanted all of us to buy the most expensive dish on the menu and the most expensive wine, even though we had told her what we wanted, which was a mixed bag.
I had the scallops- perfectly cooked!
We had the meatballs and octopus to share and I have one word for them- yummy
Didn't have a reservation, the hostess looked around and was able to get me a table for two. The food was really good bursting of flavor and the service was very attentive and refine.
Classy, upscale Italian restaurant with a touch of European feel. You will feel catered and serviced here. Food is delicious. French fries were a bit heavy with extra crunchy coating. Special request to make pizza half and half was accommodated. Nice amount of wild mushrooms in each bite. Caesar salad was exceptional with a wonderful home-made dressing enticingly coating romaine and kale and topped with toasty croutons. Make time to stroll through the adjacent Starlight Room of The Kimpton Sir Francis Drake Hotel lobby bar to feast your eyes on some opulent decor.
Fantastic food here and brilliant service. Great Italian which really surprised with the food. Beef carpaccio and Burrata were particularly great. Well worth a visit.
We liked everything about it, but not a 5* $$$ place. They need to work a little harder on their service. Pleasant experience though.
Good service and ambience, but the food was only average. I expected a bit more out of the food given the higher prices and upscale restaurant feel. With the charcuterie board in particular, the meats tasted comparable to packaged meats from the grocery store.

Always a treat to eat at Scala's! I usually eat at the bar but grabbed a booth this time. I was seated directly in front of the kitchen area. I could feel the heat from the pizza oven. Directly in front of me was a pile of freshly cooked bread just sitting on the counter. Beautiful loaves covered in flour. I quickly thought, "Is this a set up??" "How did they know I should be in a 12 step program for bread?!" I quickly realized that's where they cut the loaves to serve to the tables. I wanted to grab a loaf and put it in my lulu lemon bag. No one would see it! I finally came to my senses and moved onto the menu!!
We had fettuccini and scallops. Delicious! The scallops were slightly seared on both sides and cooked just right. They had a wonderful purée sauce along with Swiss chard. I definitely recommend ordering! I had a fabulous glass of Oregon Pinot Noir and sparkling water. The fettuccini was also good.
We didn't have a reservation and arrived around 5:30. No problem with seating. After 6pm it was packed! My only complaint is the bathroom! Having to get on an escalator and go upstairs is a nuisance. Overall..great place, great service!
Food was amazing with such quality, and each dish had great depth...pesto ricotta filled ravioli with marinara, grilled sea bass with olive tapenade, roasted chicken with fingerling potatoes. Booked through OpenTable for myself and 2 kids (17 & 10) on a Friday @ 7 p.m. Service was on point, and hostess was very warm & friendly. Hostess even addressed me by my name as we left the restaurant... that was a nice touch too! Located in the landmark Sir Francis Drake Hotel. Go upstairs to take photos such as in my pics! I'll definitely be back!!
100% five star delicious with good service to boot. The portions were perfectly sized (if not a little big) and the taste was incredible. Great spot for lunch with a glass of wine if you’re near Union Square.
The food quality is slightly above average. Octopus is tasty. I don’t like the prosciutto on the pizza.
