Hillstone

"Absolutely Excellent in every way, me and my boyfriend were looking for a quick bite to eat before our Alcatraz tour. The staff are extremely talented! We were greeted with a genuine welcome as soon as we entered. I communicated that we had a tour in 50 minutes and our waiter Joseph assured us we will be very good on time. His warm personality helped calm me down as I was slightly on edge about time. He took our orders swiftly and within just a few minutes our entire order was ready. The food was amazing, fresh and well portioned. The prices were a great value especially factoring in the top tier service. Joseph was amazing so calm and collective with all of our requests, if I would rate his service skills he is in the guru category! We were able to finish in perfect timing while having a comfortable relaxing experience. If you see this Joseph you keep on shining, and thank you Hillstone for your amazing experience you gave us.

"I enjoyed my time at the Hillstone. I had an appointment close so why not try a new place. The food was delicious. My clam chowder, definitely one of the best I have had in SF. The setting is upscale service."

"I would have to argue that this is the best restaurant to visit for lunch before going on the Alcatraz tour, as it is just across from Pier 33. It was hubby’s birthday, and the French dip is one of his favorite dishes, so Hillstone was the perfect choice. The beef was so juicy and tender, with ample portions of au jus. The sundae with chocolate sauce was a nice, light finish to such a hearty and substantial meal. My favorite part was the beautiful and spacious dining area. It was great to get off our feet and enjoy lunch in a relaxing atmosphere before going on a hectic 6-hour walking tour! We look forward to recreating this day the next time we visit SF."

"We were taking a Bay Cruise and were looking for a meal before getting onto the boat. Everything was great! We were seated immediately and everything came out extremely timely. Our server was incredibly helpful and kind. I ordered the ahi tuna tartare which was absolutely delicious. The tuna was melt in your mouth and it had a brilliant brightness and mild heat with the jalapeños. It was served with toasted ciabatta, half of a well seasoned avocado, and a great mustard/dill deviled egg. The rosemary focaccia was fantastic, and served with a variety of olives, cheese, and olive oil/balsamic. Dessert was excellent. Recommend the pot de crème for sure. I was surprised at the quality in such a high traffic area, I would definitely go back."

"Fast, friendly, high quality service. Food is amazing. Can get busy. Limited menu but everything they offer is outstanding. Vegetarian options (the veggie burger is great!)."
