Aphotic San Francisco Reviews

It’s cliché to say this, but the experience really does start when you open the front doors to this restaurant! Michael and his team do an excellent job of taking care of you and the Chefs know how to execute the perfect tasting menu. I highly recommend the anchovy to start with paired with their Sauvignon Blanc. The atmosphere is stunning and the whole service team is highly professional.

Had dinner with friends here – it's awesome! Seafood galore, creative and tasty dishes. High-end dining, the chef explains everything. Super classy interior and got a private room for our party of 6. 👌🦐🍴

Phenomenal restaurant with even better service. All seafood but definitely a lot of creative preparations. I actually ordered two of the bread/crab dish. It was so good. Cool table side martini preparation, though they didn't give me the option to pick vodka or gin. Super cool space, really feels like you're somewhere unique and not just another nice restaurant in SF. Highly recommend if you love seafood. There was oyster ice cream. It's worth trying.
