Angler San Francisco Reviews
Excellent but overpriced dinner
5 of us, all fish lovers, came for dinner and we weren't disappointed. Most of the dishes we chose were delicious and beautifully presented. The oysters, trout, blue fin tuna, scallops, and sea bream were all outstanding. We also loved the le
Where do I start? Service, ambiance, THE FOOD.
We did the $150 tasting. Every single dish was fresh and delicately made. This does not mean lite in portion, we were stuffed by the end. My husband and I came with our 5 month old that can't sit in a high chair yet. They found the perfect tabl
Not too stunning.
The service was excellent - I must say! Each team member was kind, helpful, and had recommendations to share. They were able to describe what we were eating very well. They also seemed happy to be here. Got crudo, frog legs, and fish. Loved the crud
Mm m m everything we tried was so tasty and well balanced.
My favorites have been and continue to be the tuna with cracker and the ice cream, definitely must orders if you like savory but sharp herbaceous flavor for the former and salty, savory, sweet for the latter. The ice cream just ruins all others, heck

The value of the menu is incredible - the lunch menu is especially well-priced for such a high-end experience, starting at $48. One note: there isn't an alternative starter option for the set lunch menu; it's oysters only. That said, the oy
Spectacular meal and you will be stuffed beyond reprieve.
This isn't the Michelin starred spot where you'll leave hungry. First off, the location and view are beautiful. It compliments this seafood-heavy restaurant so well. Their liquor menu is stacked and their sommelier is incredibly helpful to

This is my fourth time coming here (2025) and I had a very different experience from the first three (2024-2022). Service was slow, our first dish came after 45 minutes and second dish after an hour and it continued like that. We ate as quickly as we

Everything I've tasted had been excellent -- the food truly lives up to its Michelin one-star recognition. However, the service at the front of house was deeply disappointing. The gentleman at the entrance, who appeared to be a manager, set the

Such a fun date night! Food was delicious, servers were really nice and friendly. Overall we had a great experience.
What a great evening.
Staff went above and beyond after a cancelled reservation at Saison and a birthday in our group. Staff was attentive and provided great service. Timing of the courses was perfect and everything tasted great. Not a single bad bite the entire evening.
I hate a bad review but this food was terrible.
We did the chef's highlights meal. The atmosphere, service was good but the flavor of the food was so bad. I'm from the NYC area, so I'm no stranger to Michelin starred restaurants and also visited others in SF. This place was so bad a

If I could sum up my Angler experience in one word, it'd be: disappointed. TL;DR -- the food is good, but simply not worthy of the hefty $$$ markup for dishes that don't feel elevated to the level I'd expect from a Michelin-star rest

If I had to point to one thing I'm most sour about, it was the frog legs. Our server really pushed them at the end of ordering "one of the best things on the menu,". It was my partner's birthday, we were at a celebrated restaurant
Food is all right.
However, we ordered two cook for us since we have two people. However, for some of the dishes, they only gave us one portion expecting us to share. At the end, they only gave us one soft serve ice cream, expecting us to share. You cannot give differe

We were excited to try the $45 fixed course lunch but were disappointed that there were no alternatives for the starter. One of diners has a seafood allergy. We asked about getting bread or fries as an alternative to oysters -- no luck. Since both a

Impeccable service.
What ruined the whole evening and experience at a very high priced Michelin star restaurant is - hair in my main dish. That should not happen at a Michelin star restaurant. Did not felt there was a sincere apology for terrible experience. Just got &q
Very disappointing.
Two of the side dishes, the corn and the radicchio salad were outstanding the rest of the food was ok, not exceptional in any way. And the service, for which you are automaticially charged 2o5, a fairly hefty tip, when you consider the prices, was t

This was our first eating here. We had the Quick Catch for lunch. The bream was a bit too fishy for meโboth in smell and taste. I did enjoy the poster and peach sorbet. My soda was not refillable. The staff were high qualityโattentive with servic
Good food, but not served as a Michelin star restaurant
We booked it to celebrqte our daughter's birthday and we took 3 "let us cook for you" menus. The unpleasant thing was that often the dishes were in common and we had to split them by 3. I don't think it is acceptable in a restaura
Excellent wines and Service, lacks complexity and sophistication of other Michelin Stars and watch out for the Chilli!
I was seated in the โadditional dining roomโ which, complete with stuffed bears , had a rustic feel to the room and not quite my experience of Michelin Starred dining. The serving team was excellent. My server was lovely (although I wish, havin
Disappointingโฆ.donโt bother..
Visited based on recommendations. Took about 20 mins to get served with wine. Food was average. Disappointing overall. Better places in San Francisco to go to.

Great service and I recommend happy hour daily 5-6:30 pm.
Nice selection of cocktails and the fried frog legs was our favorite. This place has an open kitchen and even a view of the Bay Bridge. They live up to the One Michelin Star. Highly recommend you stop by if you are by the Waterfront .. Ferry B

Went there for date night.
The tip is covered by a 20% service charge which is automatic, so consequently the server did not listen to what we asked for and was just trying to "bulk" the size of the bill and rush us out within 5 minutes of arrival. I'd never seen a w
The food was good.
But service was beyond awful. Be prepared for a very long wait. Motivated by the mandatory 20% tip? It seems like this just creates indifference by the staff. Plus the 6% city welfare fee. And be prepared for $15 beer. Crazy.
Angler is a really interesting place.
The walls are adorned with countless pieces of taxidermy. It feels a little much for my liking, but whatever. Started off with the Embered Oysters; really smoky and flavorful. The Bluefin Tuna and Rice Crisp had an unexpected twist. The tuna came t

Really enjoyed my meal at Angler and was for sure a memorable experience. Loved the open kitchen with a live fire (their theme), really created a special comforting atmosphere. They also have a decent HH so get a $9 glass of wine and soak it all in.
Delicious food.
Nice to see a focus on wood-fire grilled seafood. Excellent service and lovely setting with views of the Bay and the open kitchen.

The service charge IS A TIP.
stop swindling your customers, we are already paying enough - 20% is already excessive.
I wanted to stay here forever.....
Where do I begin? This is the first restaurant I have been to that actually deserves their Michelin star. I have eaten at a ton of places and this goes down in my top 10 best experiences. Will without a doubt be a first stop for me every time I am in
Connect with users posting reservations for Angler San Francisco
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Angler San Francisco. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Angler San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Angler San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* CoolestCough45, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* CoolestCough45 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CoolestCough45 for any questions Peter may have as CoolestCough45 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CoolestCough45 now uses their connections at Angler San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If CoolestCough45 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, CoolestCough45 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CoolestCough45's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Angler San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
