- DDannyVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •12 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWhat a perfect place to celebrate with a friend. The traditional consommé and popover with strawberry butter are amazing. The caviar service is ridiculous. Yummylicious chestnut soup. And a date cake for dessert that felt like Christmas had already come around again. I LOVED our waiter Charlie.More infoThe Rotunda at Neiman Marcus - San FranciscoPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown / Union Square•4.8

- BBarbaraVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •63 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoIt was a nice, quiet festive atmosphere for Christmas Day dinner for our family of 4 adults. We had the prix fix menu. The onion soup was excellent and so were the beet/goat cheese salads. We started with tasty warm bread rolls and truffle butter and a glass of sparkling wine (included). 3 had the prime rib and our vegetarian daughter had the pea risotto. The other choice was salmon. Dessert was molten chocolate lava cake with ice cream. Delicious and decadent. A nice evening out. Service was attentive and efficient. Thank you!More infoNob Hill Club at the Mark HopkinsPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Nob Hill•4
- LLindaSan Francisco Bay Area •5 reviews5.0Dined on 25 Dec 2024We have been enjoying Christmas Brunch at the Top of the Mark for over 25 years. This year was the best organized and the "people flow" was so much better. Excellent food and the lovely young woman who made my yummy omelet was so professional and crisp and fun to watch. I understand that the new manager, is Amu" I think is her name, who wore a spectacular magenta dress, kept everything smoothly running and was so gracious. I had the privilege of thanking her personally. Frank was our expert server (he has worked there over 25 years) and he was unruffled and did not miss a beat even when dealing with the crass and rude and snarky pair who sat behind us. THANK YOU Mark Hopkins for making our Christmas, yet again, memorable.More infoTop of the MarkPrice: Expensive• Tapas / Small Plates• Nob Hill•4.2

Also loud so not necessarily a great choice if you were/are looking for a romantic dinner.More infoAlimentPrice: Expensive• American• Downtown / Union Square•4.7
