Classic dishes still don’t disappoint - potato strings, Caesar salad and roasted chicken. In addition, the raspberry pavlova delighted and was a star!!!

Original Joe’s is the most iconic restaurant in SF. I’ve been a customer for all of my adult life and it never disappoints. I love sitting in the booth area, it has a art deco feel. The service is always top notch and the food is fantastic. I had the linguini pesto with prawns. It is the best pesto I’ve ever eaten; rich and creamy. That with a Caesar salad is the perfect combo. I’ll be returning soon.

Rich Table has everything that a perfect restaurant requires: fun and professional staff, dim lighting, beautiful food, a great playlist and overall good vibes. Erica our waitress was exceptional and hilarious. Dana is always so warm and welcoming. If she is in charge of making things run smoothly then she is exceptional at her job. Rich Table has always been and still is our favorite restaurant in SF. Also thankfully, they stay open late and don't rush you!
