                        An excellent experience all around. We sat on the patio with the heaters and were comfortable the whole time. The chickpea hummus was excellent, as were the blistered peppers. For man courses, we had the track of lamb and the scallops. It's so nice to have lamb in a restaurant that understands how to prepare lamb. Mine was seared on the outside and juicy rare as I ordered it- absolutely perfect. The scallops were prepared beautifully and tasted great. The staff was attentive without hovering. We'll definitely be back!

                        Good service but odd & not great menu. Food was cold & so was the restaurant. We were seated indoors, heat lamps for outside seating may be a better choice. Nice folks; limited food selections.

                        A great place for the young that is very considerate of older guests. We were tucked in a relatively quiet corner and server gave us extraordinary attention. Everyone we dealt with was extra considerate. And the food was interesting and delicious.

                        For SF Restaurant Week, we thoroughly enjoyed Barcha’s prix fixe menu for $75/person on Saturday! There were three choices and four of us, so we got one of each and doubled on the lamb cigars and salmon. Each dish was DELICIOUS!! Each and every staff person was attentive, kind and helpful. There was parking right outside on Fremont St on Saturday, so that was very convenient. I would definitely go again and try their other dishes.

                        Love Barcha. Sitting outside is so fun while enjoying their yummy food. The spices were a little heavier than I remembered from last time, but they kept the water flowing, so we managed. Pop across to the Salesforce park afterward for a stroll. Recommend Barcha. Yum.

                        Barcha is the classic spot for corporate meals. The ambiance is great, service is always solid, and the menu has something for everyone. However, I'm noticing portions getting increasingly small while the prices stay high. I also felt the food at my particular visit wasn't as hot and flavorful as previous visits. I hope that this is not a consistent thing, because I still think Barcha is great. I'll note that I was really happy to see the sticky date cake on the menu. Their desserts have maintained their value and quality across visits, and the sticky date cake did not disappoint!
