Curio is a bar and restaurant that honors all things unconventional. Located next to The Chapel, the Mission’s most prominent performance venue, the space brings together some of life’s greatest pleasures – well-crafted cocktails, regional American food, and live music. The eclectic space draws inspiration from the building’s past as a mortuary, exploring the mysterious themes of life and time.

    The service was very good but there was a lot of confusion and nobody knew what was going on in terms of being at Curio and seeing the show at the Chapel. It was frustrating. Next time we will skip Curio and just do the show. Too much stress. The staff should be well informed!

    Though I appreciated the thematic ambience, it was just a little too dark. I had to use my flashlight to read the menu and couldn’t see my food as well as I would have liked. The food was very good, some outstanding even. Especially the birriadillas. The service was a bit amateurish considering the prices. The server and busser had to be stopped on no less than 4 occasions from taking away our drinks/plates that we weren’t finished with yet. Once was forgivable. Four times was downright annoying. Not sure if I’m done yet? Ask!
