“ Friendly staff. Nice place in downtown; steps away from The Orpheum. Good number selections of cocktails, apps, and beers. Variety of dinner menu that meets everyone's palate. Recommends reservation if going for dinner. Popular for theater goers. ”

“ Came here for brunch before seeing back to the future at the Orpheum. The menu had a good variety of the usual American bfast items but also saw loco moco & shakshuka. Their sandwiches sounded good too but I was in the mood for bfast food so I ordered their mushroom omelette with house potatoes. It had a good amount of spinach & gooey cheese which was good but nothing special. Sort of thought the tomatoes were random & not necessary. Service was good, our waiter was attentive. Would highly recommend making reservations on a day when there's a play going on at the theater. ”

“ The club sandwich is hearty and filling. The bulgogi tacos are perfect, but know they are mini tortilla sized -so definitely use that as a starter. Drinks are tasty, we had a drink themed for the musical at the Orpheum. Speaking of: make a reservation on show days. It's February; some folks were eating outside about 45 minutes prior to showtime... I would wholeheartedly be back anytime I'm watching something at the Orpheum. ”

“ I chose this spot due to its location across the street from the Orpheum and was pleasantly surprised to find the food was amazing! We ordered the fire chicken fondue and, let me tell you, once you finish it, you're going to want more. It was that good! We also ordered the espresso martinis, which was the perfect complement to the meal. My only suggestion would be to add a kid's menu. My daughter would only eat the french fries but they were fresh & delicious as well, so it worked out. Service was also great. Our server was very accommodating and friendly. It was busy but we didn't have to wait too long for our food. The place is fairly small so I recommend making reservations. I saw a few people get turned away because they were full. I don't live in SF, but this will now be my go-to spot whenever I see a show in the City. ”

“ We went here before a matinee show at the Orpheum. It was a bit busy but they took care of us quickly and we made the show well before curtain. The menu is not large but there is a large spread of choices from Benedict's, sandwiches and burgers to tacos and waffles. There is a pretty big cocktail menu too. Wife had the Korean tacos and I had the Korean fried chicken and waffles. They were both good although I wish the KFC had a sauce with it. It's a convenient location when you're going to a show and service is good. It's a definite go-to in the area . ”

“ Came here with friends for SF restaurant week and it blew us out of the water! We ordered a drink, appetizer of deviled eggs, followed by soup and salad, then an entree of our choosing, and to top it all off, a pecan pie with ice cream for dessert. All for only $30! Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. I ordered the juicy salmon as my entree and it came with a creamy dressing on top. Portions were respectable and those of us who chose the pasta had enough food to save for another meal. The pecan pie was delicious, although it didn't have the homemade taste to it. For the drink, I went with the butterfly lemonade which was beautifully presented but too sugary for my liking. The interior of the restaurant was modern and chic. I will say, though, that the surrounding neighborhood is not the prettiest at night and parking took us a bit to find. ”

“ Shockingly interesting food for a diner. Lots of great Asian inspired offerings. Even the décor got a nice glow up. Though now it feels a bit out of place given all of its neighbors. Fire Chicken Fondue: Such an unexpected treat for diner food! Tteokbokki, kimchi, gochujang, tender dark meat chicken and lots of cheese. Felt like I was at some Korean drinking establishment that also served drinking food. It had a good spicy kick too, so I didn't inhale the food all at once but took my time. Served with a little rice on the side, but honestly with the tteokbokki didn't really need more carbs. Spicy Rosé Pasta w/ Garlic Shrimp: Followed the waiter's recommendation and was quite pleased. Looks like a typical creamy tomato pasta, but has such a nice spicy umami kick. Adds an exciting dimension to an already great dish. Only like 5 shrimp though, so not the most filling dish. Chicken Cobb Salad: HUGE for a salad. Lots of nice non-veggie bits like chicken, bleu cheese crumbles, bacon and creamy ranch. The veggies weren't bad either, kinda like farmers market quality instead of the typical Sysco vendor food that many diners buy. Butterfly Lemonade: So pretty with the multiple colors and flowers. But you're supposed to mix it all together, so that doesn't last. Tastes like fruity lemonade. Refreshing. ”

“ Came in on a Thursday around 5:20pm without a reservation. The restaurant was about 40% full. By the time we left it was 90% full. So best to make a reservation. Being so close to the Orpheum Theatre, I guess they get a lot of business from the cast members so they have all these musical posters signed by them on the wall which is cool to see. They were out of the octopus salad and the tri-tip sandwich. We ordered a non alcoholic drink called, Nessarose - $6.50. It was refreshing and unique. It had grapefruit and some other flavors which I forgot. They had this other drink with blueberry and prickly pear in it which sounds interesting to try for next time. We also ordered the fish and chips - $22.00. I found the coleslaw a bit too sweet. Although they were generous with the fries, it was not crispy. However the batter on the fish was light and crunchy. The tartar sauce was great. Lastly we ordered the lamb chops - $28.00. It was tender and flavorful but I didn't like the pesto on the mashed potatoes as there was too much fat from the lamb chops already. The lamb chops alone were very tasty. Service was meh. We had to flag down a staff to take our order. No one checked in on us but the food came out within 10 minutes of ordering which was speedy. ”

“ Update on my previous review! I always stop here for my pre-show meals when the show is at the Orpheum. The food never disappoints, the menu is varied, and it's just a few yards from the theater. This time we came in for brunch since we were going to a matinee; previously, I'd only come for dinner. I ordered the Korean chicken wings with the rice cakes in sweet and spicy sauce. It was delicious and certainly looked spicier than it was. One reason for ordering this was so I wouldn't have any leftovers since food is not allowed to be taken into the theater. Despite my plan, there were 6 huge wings, so it took a bit to eat them all; could've shared at least two of them with others and still had enough! My dining companions had the chicken cobb salad, the grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup, and a breakfast plate with the usual eggs and bacon (no picture since it's so common). Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. It seems that the prices are relatively high, but it's expensive to run a restaurant, especially in SF! Wait staff is great, so definitely points for that! ”

“ Had an excellent pre-theater meal here the other night, before the Mrs. Doubtfire musical. The decor is great, with signed movie bills from various productions that have come through (just the Orpheum Theater, I guess). The menu for the night was great too. I guess they customize the menus for the shows that are playing. So our menu had some items with custom names calling out Mrs. Doubtfire elements (e.g. "Miranda" burger) We made reservations, which are essential if you want to get in for a pre-theater meal. I had the Fried Chicken Sandwich, with onion rings. WOW! The chicken is different from others I've had in fried chicken sandwiches. I think it's very Asian focused. It's a chicken thigh, and the seasonings remind me very much of Chinese fried chicken (5-spice seasoning, prob). The coleslaw on the sandwich is not overly mayo-ed, so it was really good. The onion rings were fantastic. Onion didn't pull out of the batter. Rings were nice and crisp, not at all soggy. My husband had the Tri-Tip French Dip with a side salad. The meat was tender, the au jus wasn't too salty. Side salad had a good lettuce mix, and just the right size. Highly recommend for a pre-theater meal! ”
