Reviews
Both food and service were disappointing. We went for the SF restaurant week and had two $75 tasting menu. It was a bit overpriced as the set only had one entree, with two tiny sides, bread & salad. The biggest issue was everything being too salty, from the bread, the fish, the beef, to the dessert. I couldn't even finish the salted vanilla ice cream because there was way too much sea salt. I actually liked how the dishes are designed and cooked. It's just the salty taste that ruined everything. The server was not attentive at all. No one cared to refill your water or bring you your next course. Even if they fixed the taste of their food, I still wouldn't come back because of the poor service. Btw, it's located in a very dangerous neighborhood. You wouldn't want to walk on the streets.
My friend and I had dined at Gibson a few times prior to the pandemic and we were generally pleased with the food, service, and ambience. This review will address our first intra-pandemic visit to this restaurant. Although I would have given Gibson 5 stars, based on the tasting menu, the wait staff, the location close to several downtown theaters, and our pre-pandemic experiences here, I am deeply disturbed by the lack of response of Gibson's management, a fact that completely overwhelmed my positive views of this restaurant. I waited three months before writing this review, in the hope that someone from Gibson would get back to me. I'm still waiting. When I made a reservation for two at Gibson during SF Restaurant Week in Autumn 2021, I had to pay $20 per guest to hold the spot. No problem there. However, the reservation website indicated that this amount -- $40 total -- would be applied as a credit to our bill. Not only was the $40 not credited that evening, but I tried to reach the restaurant's management by phone 3 times in the subsequent two weeks and succeeded only in leaving voicemails, to which I never received a response. While I fully understand that restaurants have been under enormous financial pressure during the pandemic, scamming customers with a "refundable" reservation charge that is never refunded and not returning your guests' calls about correcting this scam are unacceptable behaviors unworthy of an otherwise fine downtown SF restaurant.
Tasty fare and clever cocktails in a classy, mid-century inspired setting. Sit at the chef's table if it's available to watch the kitchen in action. We enjoyed the prawn and soup starters followed by roast chicken and risotto entrees. Very friendly and attentive wait staff and prompt food and beverage service. Surprised this place wasn't full on a Friday night...perhaps its Tenderloin address keeps folks away? Music program modern funk was at odds with the setting, but that's a minor quibble in an otherwise very enjoyable evening. Loved the deconstructed sundae for dessert and it was perfect for sharing.
Amazing food and very friendly wait staff. It was a really really long wait between two courses and we were waiting on liver mouse, so we weren't waiting on it to get made. Not sure if they were just short staffed or the large party was talking up the time, but I would have expected to have a little more attentive service for that price. It wasn't busy for a SF restaurant.
$65 for the tasting menu....what a deal! Not a dud among the dishes. Tell your server what you definitely want to eat, and the chef will make sure you get it as part of your tasting menu. My favorite dish was the roasted carrot with pickled carrot and pine nuts. Food is fine dining but the service isn’t. Wine list with French and American wines. Beautiful restaurant with an open kitchen....will def ask for a table with a view into the kitchen next time!
Tried the tasting menu and it was a great experience. I think there were 11 dishes and they were, for the most part, excellent. Dessert was included. My favorite dish was the clam chowder. I could have had a whole bowl of the chowder. Service was very attentative.
A nice experience doing the tasting menu with cocktail pairings. Solid staff and very knowledgeable bar staff. Amazing cocktails. Good spot to treat yourself to some artfully crafted food and drinks.
Don't mind the riff-raff outside...oncle you step into the Hotel Bijou, you're transported into a different world. Excellent service, inventive food, beautiful restaurant...get the $65 tasting menu before people take notice.
Great American Food in smart place. Best of all it’s open kitchen and pass is a joy see and watch when they are cooking away. Had a nice steak off the open bbq fire pit right at the back of their kitchen.
This place is no joke. The food is 1000% beautiful and the service matches itDine in: YesOutdoor seating: No
