Restaurants near Kestler Building

Everything was great! The food was excellent, our server was very helpful with explaining the menu and helping us choose the best dishes!

Wonderful dining experience with my family. Excellent service and food. A Jeff Ruby restaurant is always top notch!

This was my first time at Jeff Ruby’s and I would definitely return again. My friend and I went for her birthday and they had a special menu with a birthday message for her. Our server, Michael G, was very informative and witty. Every staff member we interacted with was chatty and welcoming and the food of course was amazing. We will definitely be back soon!

We’ve had dinner twice at Pepp & Dolores, and both experiences were fabulous. The food is amazing and service is great, but be sure to make a reservation if possible! Pepp & Dolores is obviously very loved, so seats can fill up quick. We look forward to going back soon!

Three of us shared a special reunion dinner. The initial hosts were quite polished, yet I felt my guest's attire and my signature (SF Asian Art museum) baseball cap was a possible issue, so I was not surprised when we were sized up and sat in the back/vault. The back was GREAT. More privacy and tons more quiet than the front. The final server we had was THE BEST. He helped us with the menu quickly and seamlessly (he really knew his stuff.) His friendliness was NATURAL, not forced. We were not rushed. Plus he was the perfect balance between professional and friendly. Formal dining etiquette (re clearing and food delivery) were all present and perfect. Yes, this was rather pricy, but I will definitely return, esp for a special occasion. And our server deserved his 30% tip, even if provided by a guy in a baseball cap with casually-dressed guests. ; )
