    On a warmest day, on the patio, having one of the best chicken sandwiches ever. The meat juicy, the slaw a tasty contrast, on a delicious soft bun. The French fries are so crisp and flavorful. Excellent service, great place. Enjoy !

    Our party of 4 could not have been happier with every aspect of this dining experience. The food was outstanding from soup to nuts(no nuts, but…), a friendly and engaging staff, perfect lighting and curated design of interior, low noise level(allowing for thoughtful conversation), no pressure to leave with the joy of lingering over scrumptious desserts. Everything one desires in a neighborhood restaurant. Thank you for a great evening.

    Curio SF has an amazing staff, amazing food, and just overall spectacular vibes. The outdoor patio is nice and intimate and the different bar spaces each have their own personality. The venue is great for shows (The Chapel), but don’t sleep on Curio for brunch, dinner, or drinks!!!
