Balboa Cafe - San Andreas

I reserved two months in advance, when we arrived, we had a table by the door. I had requested the window or quiet table in the back. The hostess was not happy because she had reserved her own clientele special tables, and was resistant, short tempered, frowned, it was an embarrassing to my guests and me, she unpoologetically said at the end “I’m sorry for being such a bear with you” She was a blonde hostess, she has been there a long time, used to be a waitress, she knew me. I will not go back

We walked here from our hotel, let’s face it- transportation and parking is difficult here. Delicious wine, excellent service, a beautiful restaurant , and memorable food.

Fun little place for cocktails! We got the espressotinis, and they were some of the best we’ve ever had!

I loved the ambience, the service was great. Waiters were really professional and thoughtful, however the food was a bit disappointing to be honest. The orange juice was bitter, the french toast, egg benedict and donuts were not impressive at all. I would've given them 5 out of 5 if the food was a little bit more compelling.

Wandered upon this place, and happy we did. The staff was so helpful and knowledgeable regarding the menu. The waitress was beyond accommodating recommending half servings of salads, additions, etc. They even sent us free dessert bc it was our birthdays. The food was flavorful and nice size portions. I can see why this is a neighborhood joint and when I'm back in San Fran I will definitely return.
