Acquerello San Francisco Reviews

The chef was sweet, humble, and incredibly talented. The waitstaff went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and make this the best experience possible. Each course’s plating was selected to enhance and complement the dish. The Sauvignon blanc was delightful. I hate duck and yet the duck was my favourite dish- phenomenal quality of ingredients. So much textural play, beautiful visuals, calming atmosphere. I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday experience for my mother.

Each course offers a unique experience with different layers of flavors that complement of each other. If you enjoy wine, the wine paring program is highly recommended. It definitely elevates the dining experience, sharpening your senses of the food you are tasting. On top that, the wine pairing takes you to a tour of Italy by the glass. All the staff are very hospitable and friendly, some have a sense of humor.

Did the vegetarian tasting menu, which was a pretty incredible experience. The corn custard was unbelievable, with chanterelle mushrooms that stole the show. Their "dry-aged" kohlrabi was inspired, what a brilliant way to prepare a vegetable. Ate every bite of all the ~10 courses. Plus two generous pieces of bread. And the desert bites. And the other little treats. Excellent.
