I have eaten at the Hayes Street Grill for years. I’ve enjoyed the food sometimes, sometimes not so much. The staff is always courteous and professional with the right amount of friendliness. I’ve always been seated promptly upon arrival when I had a reservation. Last night, the drinks were good, though my friends and I were surprised that the bar uses a rather pedestrian brand of cherry, rather than the better flavored cherries by Luxardo. Our salads and dinners were very good. One friend of mine and I had the sole with mushrooms and fingerling potatoes. We both loved the mushrooms, cut and prepared to be almost like pasta. Kind of amazing. The dessert menu is one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. The carrot cake was a better than average carrot cake. One friend at my table had the Winter Fruit Pavlova (not pictured below), which looked more interesting. He said it was complex and delicious. It’s funny that it’s called “winter fruit” when it contains mango, kiwi and pineapple which might be more appropriately classified as tropical. We made it to our show with time to spare.

$$$ Had a reservation and were promptly seated. Quick service for drinks and decently quick for starters and entrées. Liked everything I ate but the final bill was $200 for 2 drinks, 2 starters, 2 entrees and 2 desserts. Nice decor and the mirrors make the space ‘bigger’.

I ordered the fillet of sole which was perfectly cooked. The Acme bread was wonderful.

We picked this restaurant due to its close proximity to the New Conservatory Theater. We made on-line reservations and we were immediately seated upon arrival. The waiter asked if we were going to a show and what time it started. Service was fast. The food was very good. We had the sword fish, pork chop, steak, and crab cakes. All meals were delishious with big servings. We started with the warm goat cheese salad. We finished with coffee and chocolate cake. Our glasses were never empty. The staff was friendly. We made the show with plenty of time to spare. We would go back here.

Amazing as always. I had the scallops and two glasses of wine. We sat by the bar and rather enjoyed our seats.

The staff was friendly and this is not a reflection on them. However, the food is terrible. At that price point, I was expecting a dining experience. Fish was bland, served with fries. Like not even a truffle fry? An option for a baked potato? A vegetable? Come on, something. I am not impressed with a bland piece of fish and some dry overcooked fries at 40$ a dish. Ordered a side of the Brussel sprouts, tasted microwaved and mushy. The only decent thing we got was the cheesecake. Looks like a retirement home in there, put some music on, get some candles. The only reason this place is still even open is due to its proximity to the symphony hall. There are way too many great restaurants to waste 250$ here, AVOID.

The food isn’t bad, and service is fast – like, alarmingly fast… dishes arrive within 2 minutes of being ordered. But way, way overpriced. $33 – or really $40 when you include the “SF mandate” and tax – for a non-huge, non-exceptional piece of fish definitely feels excessive.

This is one of the first places I visited upon arriving in The Bay Area. Little has changed. We even have some of the same waiters. First and foremost, this is a fish restaurant. Second, prep and presentation are static. Someone says ‘boring’; I say ‘reliable and comforting’. There are seasonal variations and some great zodiac-driven specials. Soft Shell Crab, Shad Roe. I get their emails and they inform me, not bombard my inbox. Tailored wine selections, classic mixology. Carnivores and Veggies graciously accommodated. Salad Nirvana.

The food was delicious and waitstaff served us well. It was crowded as usual pre-performance and this time the table we had made it hard for us to have a conversation.
