Came for brunch and sat in the parklet which was lovely and warm on a winter day. However, the food was lacking. The fried chicken sandwich came with aioli but it had little flavor, was not crispy, the meat was tough and it was difficult to take a bite. I did like the very soft bun. The truffled mac and cheese was overwhelmed by the truffle flavor, and the penne was a bit overcooked (way beyond al dente). Not a good value for the money, the prices were high. The cocktails are soju-based.

Memento is a true gem in all of San Francisco! Everyone must experience it! The food, the ambiance and the superb service! Raf and Suhair are without a doubt the most welcoming and precious hosts! They make you feel as if you are dining in the home. The cocktails and food are awesome and expertly conceived, created and presented to you at table. Memento is by far our favorite restaurant in San Francisco. We think you will understand once you have been there. Please reserve a table now. Raf and Suhair, a personal "Thank you!" for being you and for this wonderful culinary marvel you have created! Love, Doug and Paul

Our family has a lot of San Francisco brunch experience, and this food was WAY above average. The omelette was a delicious salty cheese delight, and paired so perfectly with the fresh bitter/acid tang of the perfectly dressed salad. The breakfast sandwich was an indulgent delicious sweet-salty bonanza. The french toast "for the table" came late so they comp'd it. Everything was amazing.

Awesome experience. Alfred is a super knowledgeable server and wine master. I love sitting at the bar. Don’t skip the very rigatoni and coconut milk mussels.

Forgettable little place with overpriced food. Wife’s salmon was ok: not bad but not special. I just paid $44 for a pork chop that was too tough to finish. The little shoestring fries appetizer was fun. When I mentioned the overcooked chop to the waiter and he I turn to ‘Raf’ (proprietor), the response was a shrug. No apology, no offer to remove the charge, nothing. Unprofessional. Don’t bother with this place.
