Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Downtown / Union Square

Great spot to have good tacos and drinks quaint and delicious. Nice neighborhood spot.

We ordered ribeye and NY strip steaks - both outstanding. Sides were YUMMY. Cocktails were creative and STRONG. Friendly service. We went with reservations 5pm on a Friday and not too busy. We had our choice of seating. It was cold and rainy outside so we chose a huge booth ...how luxurious to take up so much space for just 2 people! Lovely ambience. I'm not a fan of SOMA so coming and going were not so pleasant but once inside all was very nice.

Great place for lunch - good food and service. Lovely time here always.

We had a lovely night at Sushi Hashiri for Christmas Eve. We've dined here before pandemic and had a memorable experience, and it was great knowing its reopening. Absolutely enjoying everything, from the food, environment, service, and chatting with Chef Ono-san. Thanks for having us and we'll visit again and get the taste of different seasons of food!

Bouche is a charming, cozy French restaurant tucked away on Bush Street. It’s best to make reservations as seating is limited. The service is spot-on; your wine glass is kept filled and water is always in your glass. And the food—I t is nothing short of delicious. The scallops were the most flavorful I’ve ever had and the lobster bisque was smooth and rich, but hearty. The service is bustling but you never feel ignored and the waitstaff is friendly and accommodating. Bouche is an intimate place for a truly memorable dinner. It has become our new go-to restaurant when we visit the city.
