We had the lunch course and the food is amazing as well as the service. Our favorites are the olive sourdough bread, truffle pasta and poached salmon. The truffle pasta is rich in cheese but yet smooth and complex. The poached salmon is tender and co
Atmospehere was nice and staff freindly and great services.
Wine was excellent but food quality not great. My steak tasted like liver, not good quality food. Ive heard the hamburgers good. Next time Id skip the 3 course dinner and just do lunch.
This has been a special place for my family over the years.
We went for dinner recently and witnessed a dramatic decline in service. For a 7pm dinner reservation our main meal took 90 minutes, all while trying to keep a hungry toddler entertained. Maybe a bad night but really diminished our desire to return.
Came to Spruce and really enjoyed the food.
The fancy corn veloutรฉ soup was so tasty and comforting. The homemade pasta was packed with truffle flavor, definitely a highlight. Only downside for me was the jasmine tea. It was super strong and left me feeling a bit jittery afterwards. Overall
This our go to wonderful night out location.
We like to splurge by starting with caviar to go with our vodka cocktails. You can have the waiter choose glasses of wine fir each course which fabulous. They also give you special treats between courses that are not on the menu. If you was a more ca
My favorite brunch and dinner date spot.
Their food is delicious and I'm always excited to see what the chef creates. I always bring my f&f here and they love it as well. Warning parking is a headache!
We had the very best family dinner here last Saturday.
We lucked out and got the library/patio area seating, for our party or 5 at 5pm. The service was amazing! The meal is designed as a prix fixe series of 3 dishes. You can pick each of your individual dishes from the menu. I don't do any resea

There are so few places open for a nice late dinner in the city, and this one is perfect. Great food and service. We came in around nine, no reservations and sat in the lounge seating. It was perfect for a date night.

Honestly amazing every time we go - we usually go to the bar area for menu flexibility (the French dip, burger and mussels are all excellent) We did the set menu once and it was outstanding, Highly recommend!
We came here to celebrate our 5 yr anniversary.
The service blew us away from the moment that we walked in. The door was opened for us, coats were taken to be hung up, there was a sweet anniversary card on our table, and the staff were so friendly. Our server Bree was very knowledgeable about the
Love the bar!
This is the best bar in San Francisco! I love the ambiance and the martinis. A fave spot to go with friends or on a date. Seating (first come first serve) is usually pretty good!
A True Dining Experience!
From the moment we arrived to the when we left the whole staff made our evening wonderful! We were told this would be the best burger we would have ever had( it was phenomenal). So we arrived thinking Spruce was a burger joint- It was anything but! T
Beautiful dining room
This restaurant was highly recommended by a friend . We wanted to impress our friend from Miami and took him there. However , we all got disappointed by this place. Apparently $125 per person for a three course meal wasnโt cutting it. The service w
Disappointed on second visit
We went back after a wonderful first visit and alas disappointed. Service still excellent. Bread tasted like grocery store bought except for excellent Parker House rolls. Little neck clam chowder came out luke warm, two little potatoes and three tiny
A cornucopia of service and food
If you want to go over the top with excellent food, incomparable service and the really want to spoil yourself, this is the place to be. My husband and I went there for our anniversary, but we never thought we were going to be spoiled from top to bot
Set your expectations to mild/predictable and enjoy the evening
Spruce has recently lost its Michelin star, for reasons which are entirely obvious as below, and this should be a good thing to help refocus on a great guest experience. Rather than seek to regain it, a smarter play would be to transition to a more r
We were at Spruce last evening with friends.
The service was gracious & attentive, staff friendly & relaxed, ambiance comfortable & attractive. The food was mediocre. My 1st course, cute carrot pasta, was very tasty but too sweet. My main course of scallops, potatoes, & leeks wa
Lost one star for food and one star for service.
While the experience overall was good, I would not come back here. I think this is a good option if you don't dine at nice restaurants much as it's slightly on the cheaper side (125pp) and so can be a lovely and reasonably priced fancy night out. Th

I've been wanting to try Spruce for forever, so I popped in today for lunch in the bar area. they offer a more casual option there. I tried the burger and fries. it was good but not great - I found it a bit dry. It almost felt like it had been frozen

Hoping to make Spruce a part of our date night rotation at some point! What a wonderful spot for celebrating occasions or just going out to eat a nice dinner with your friends or loved ones. Spruce doesn't play around when it comes to ambiance. The

We've been consistently blown away by Spruce brunch and it just might be our favorite brunch in SF. The service and attention to detail is impeccable and somewhat hard to come by these days. The brunch hours allow for a less packed/busy dining experi

I really wanted to give Spruce five stars.
The food was truly outstanding. Everything was delicious. However, the service was reaaaaally slow. It took 10 minutes before someone brought water to the table. Bread had been forgotten and we had to ask for it after the first course arrived (which

We did not enjoy our meal at spruce.
My biggest complaint is about the service. While everyone was young and well attired and engaging, it seemed like someone was coming to our table every few minutes to bring food items or drinks or to obtain some feedback. While this might be an att
We are huge fans.
Have eaten there several times and service is always warm, welcoming and professional. We also ordered our Thanksgiving meal to-go and months later are still talking about their gravy. Their oatmeal cookie and cannoli are the best in the city.
Oh my gatos .
This place is so ridiculously good. I need two of them in socal. Preferably both in my neighborhood. Absolutely love when these epic restaurants have long hours and are open for lunch. NOT ALL OF US ARE. INTERMITTENT FASTING and only have a 4 hour e

TLDR: THIS is fine dining.
We just celebrated a birthday lunch here today and the experience was so wonderful that we're already planning our next visit back. The food was unique and complicated -- but not too complicated that it detracted from the taste like food can at other
Deeply disappointing compared to two years ago
We had brunch here two years ago and loved it, and thought it was good value, too. Now, not content with raising the basic price by 25%, they have started nickel-and-diming at every possible point. This time they didn't mention tap water nor did th
Excellent spot, but out of control waiter spoiled the experience
Consistently excellent food. High end atmosphere. Unfortunately, our waiter ran through the menu at breakneck speed and wouldnโt pause to take a question. When I asked him to slow down, he complained that he had a lot of tables to wait. For those p
superbly crafted food
wonderful in every way, Food delicious and well prepared, wine service was sophisticated but not obnoxious, and ambience was elegant and reserved. Will become my favorite restaurant in SF
Lovely, elegant restaurant in Presidio Heights
This is my favorite upscale special occasion restaurant in San Francisco. I love it bc it has brown velvet booths, stunning decor but it still serves french fries and beignets. I've had all my special birthdays here and it never disappoints. Also t
Wonderful food and service, but the upselling of menu items is a negative
Excellent food and great service in a decidedly upscale and intimate environment. But the upsetting and cross selling of menu items is a turn off. It's almost like buying an already expensive car and then the dealer pushing an array of options that y

The food and ambiance were very good. The kitchen staff know how to prepare the dishes well. However, the menu is structured in such a way that the wait staff try to upsell the customer on so many different components. It's not just about paying extr
Good, but service (especially wine service) needs attention
So excited to go to Spruce for the first time with friends - we are all in the food/wine industry, so admittedly expectations were high. Service was sub-par but not for lack of effort--our server was spread way too thin and had too many tables. We wa
I would not recommend.
Late service, bread sliced early so it was almost dry on both sides, butter tasteless, white asparagus and sauce good, escalopes tasteless, rib eye anything but, cheese cake not to my taste as texture. I would not dine again at Spruce.
Amazing ambiance and service.
Great food. Ridiculous wine list in the best sense possible. All of which made for an extraordinary experience.

I went to Spruce on the recommendation of a friend.
We were a party of three and all of us were underwhelmed. The staff was friendly and responsive but each dish brought to the table was a comedy of errors requiring us to direct them on who gets what. The food was disappointing for the price, albeit p

Amazing food ans ambiance! Be aware that the tip is already included even if you are picking up a few of the huge cookies! They neglected to point it either time we visited. Makes me hesitate to plan our large event there. Felt slimy and unprofession
We couldn't sit inside because it was completely packed.

Came here for Valentines day! So late on my mini review.
But what a beautiful place and the boy they had phenomenal service!!. You get complimentary bread as well but don't stuff your self to much you want to eat the food. Everything was good and the portion size was great! I definitely satisfied all my c
Connect with users posting reservations for Spruce San Francisco
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Spruce San Francisco. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Spruce San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Spruce San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Spruce San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Spruce San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
