Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in North Panhandle / USF

Went to China Live for the first time. Food was generous and delicious. The venue had a great vibe. Definitely go again when in San Francisco.

Dining as a party of one I kind of expect superb service, meaning a waiter might give some social time to the guest. You can tell right away people that would rather have some privacy. But I am gregarious and outgoing and conversational you could miss the personality type even if you were trying. So I was disappointed in the I’ll take your order the drop of your courses. I mean really? I know a waiter would rather a large table that would incur a large bill but I ordered some of the best available. My scotch cost almost as much as my entree which was the most expensive one, AND in order four courses! Oh well, the food was delicious w the exception of some potatoes garnishing my entree were over cooked. But that meant very little with quality of all the other food being top notch! All in all a nice experience, my fourth visit to NOPA. That waiter needs to grow some social skills.

Excellent food. A wonderful sommelier who introduced us to wines we had never had before. Loved the experience.

Two of us shared the duck mousse, citrus radicchio salad and lamb. Everything was delicious! We look forward to returning to Octavia.

Delicious food, great service, fun vibe. Looking forward to going back.
