Californios - San Francisco (CA)

5 /5 Pasha Gleyzer: That was a delightful experience. The most important: the food was amazing. Crab with caviar, spiny lobster, rock fish and short ribs were the top highlights for me. My date enjoyed the Mezcal flight, and I loved the non-alcoholic pairing. Everyone was a top profesional making our experience even more so wonderful. The dishes were three bites at most, but I was so full after that dinner. Of course, it was also very beautifully presented. Expensive, but definitely worth it.

5 /5 Gaurav Bali: We visited Californios for dinner on a weekday for a special occasion. Start to finish, the experience was the most fabulous Ive had at a fine dining restaurant. While we waited for our table, we visited the bar and ordered drinks. The staff took good care of us due to the wait time. The meal was divine. You can taste the freshness in every bite. The flavor was bursting in every bite. It was well balanced from the notes in each course and built up quite beautifully. The atmosphere was inviting and upbeat. Ambiance is perfect for all occasions. It was a fun environment. By the time we got to dessert, I had to force myself to eat and could not turn it down given how great each and every menu item was. I would recommend Californios and I will definitely be back without having to wait for a special event.

5 /5 pamazing: One of the best meals Ive had. It was like being transported back to Mexico City and experiencing one of the greatest fine dining meals from there, but we never had to leave San Francisco! Absolutely amazing experience through out, from the luxe, modern entry and bar, to the perfectly executed cocktails, to the impeccable delivery of each course. I think at the end of the night there were 14 courses, each were delicate and beautiful, but packed a memorable taste and texture that the photos cant do justice to.

5 /5 Paul Wylie: Simply phenomenal and certainly the best tortillas I have ever had in my entire life. All the dishes were absolutely stellar — not a single note. Although the cocktails were delicious, I did find them to be that interesting — they all felt very safe; would have liked to see more creativity like all their food dishes. My only slight con was the food pacing was so good at the start but by the last 2-3 courses before dessert, the space between courses felt a bit too long. But, this is truly nit picking.
