Ozumo introduced chilled, high-quality sake to its’ guests, by curating one of the finest collections from Japan’s most esteemed brewers.

As a long-standing establishment in Embarcadero, Ozumo remains committed to its culinary roots while also elevating its menu with the assistance of a new Chef Partner, Chef Yukinori Yamamoto.

Good though we could have been seated at a better table rather than bring tucked away into a corner with no food outside view 🙂

About the restaurant

Chef Tyler Florence brings his passion for high quality and style to San Francisco with his new flagship restaurant, Wayfare Tavern. A classic San Francisco Tavern featuring authentic American dishes inspired by local cuisine at the turn of the 20th century, the menu ranges from classic comforts to rustic delicacies. The beverage menu features locally-sourced wines including a selection of Florence's own label, quality draft beers and organic root beer as well as classic Victorian-era cocktails.

All three floors of the restaurant have been designed keeping historical accuracy in mind making Wayfare Tavern reminiscent of a Victorian parlor and an Edwardian men's club, where anything goes from black-tie to blue jeans. Pull up a stool to the Chef's Counter at the open kitchen and look on as Chef prepares your lunch or head to the Library and Billiard Room for a game of pool. Wayfare Tavern is a truly unparalleled dining experience translated from a century ago. Photo: John Lee.

About the restaurant

Brought to you by Award Winning Chef Michael Chiarello and located at Pier 5 on the bustling San Francisco Waterfront, Coqueta is inspired by the cuisines of Spain. Chef Chiarello feels that Spain’s signature ‘small plates’ coupled with the social vibrancy of their dining scene is the perfect combination for San Francisco, which has its own deep-rooted history with the country. Focusing on regional dishes from Madrid, Catalonia, the Basque Country and beyond, the menu will feature Chiarello's interpretation of traditional Spanish cuisine and, as has always been his tradition, will highlight the bounty of fresh, local ingredients from land and sea.

Coqueta means “flirt” or “infatuation” in Spanish, and represents Michael Chiarello and his team’s exploration and interpretation of Spanish Cuisine, wine and inspired cocktails, while highlighting the bounty of Northern California.

Kitchen seems to have slipped in the last year. Patatas bravas were not very savory, nor the huevos nacionales. Even the gambas were ho hum. Service was on point, but food was lacking.

About the restaurant

Kokkari (pronounced “Ko-Kar-ee”) is a small fishing village located on the islands of Samos in the Aegean Sea, whose name is derived from the small onions that were once produced in the nearby fields. Its fertile soil and Mediterranean climate translated into an abundance of fresh produce as well as treasured seafood and game. Legend tells that Kokkari is the site where Orion, a mighty hunter and a young man of gigantic stature and great beauty, fell in love with the daughter of the king of Chios. For the love of her, Orion forged the island for wild game and seafood to prepare elaborate banquets in celebration of their love. Today, we hope you will enjoy your own celebration as you dine at Kokkari Estiatorio on food “fit for the Gods” prepared with an Aegean palate and the style of innovative California fare.

A very special place with amazing flavors, service and setting. When we asked about gluten-free friendly items, which were not designated on the wide menu, our server was well-informed and very helpful, as she was with responses to our other questions. We made our menu decisions slowly, with sharing in mind. We had the luxury of being able to have appetizers before we chose entrees, so we could gauge how much food we really needed. We never felt any pressure to order quickly nor to order any beverages.

First - 10/10 for Pablo Gaucho. I had a poor start to my experience one busy Friday evening for dinner. Despite having a reservation (for 1, might I add), I was the last of five parties to be seated, even after folks without a reservation. Once seated, I waited over 10 minutes and not once did anyone offer me a menu or even water. I ended up fixing myself a plate at the salad bar, came back to my table, ate most of the plate, and still nothing and nobody. I pulled aside one of the meat runners to ask if someone can serve me, at least with a menu and a glass of water. A young woman was quickly assigned to me and I could tell she knew I was pretty upset at my experience thus far so she kept her responses and service quite curt (which only made my mood worse). I was incredibly disappointed at this initial impression that parties without a reservation get seated before parties with a reservation, and once seated, absolutely no service offered for THAT long! Imagine how much longer I would have had to wait if I never asked one of the gentlemen if I could have a server (I’m laughing as I type this because this was so sad. Seriously, Fogo?) However, over the next hour to follow, my mood improved once I had water and was given a green/red card, allowing the kind staff to offer me their meat cut offerings. I have to commend most of the staff, particularly the gentlemen, for their kindness and professionalism. They were incredibly warm, attentive, and approached me with offerings often. I am particularly writing this review for/about Pablo Gaucho. Thank you to the gentlemen this evening who made my evening! 10/10 for them and them only.

Hi Neighbor!

At Trestle, we remember a time, not too long ago, where people took pause to enjoy a meal in the presence of great company, giving it the reverence and respect deserved. We provide a dining experience served in courses, with the satisfaction and warmth found at a family gathering, creating the foundation to a proper meal.

Every day we feature a changing 3 course prix fixe menu with choices on each course for $45/person. We will have an optional additional pasta course for $12/person. Unfortunately, we do not offer ala-carte options.

We are able to accommodate vegetarian options nightly. We do our best to accommodate other allergies/restrictions based on the menu for that evening.

Due to our limited spacing, we can accommodate parties of 8 or less only.
