Best Family Style Restaurants in Civic Center / Hayes Valley / Van Ness

We had a lovely dinner with family. Always enjoy China Live. A great place for locals and visitors alike.

State Bird Provisions exceeded all expectations. The restaurant was moderately noisy, however, it wasn’t so loud that I couldn’t hear myself think. Lots of people were enjoying the excellent food and service provided by the attentive staff, and my wife and I were two of the lucky people dining here. It was our 8-year wedding anniversary, which made the evening extra special. I highly recommend dining here, as it will most definitely be a memorable experience. Lots of variety and both a dim sum offering and traditional menu of food offerings. This place is popular, so make a reservation in advance.

Seated quickly at a lovely table. Service was friendly and efficient. Food was spectacular. I love the simple elegant Greek salad . The lamb rib lets are cooked to perfect tenderness and simple flavors without being overpowered with herbs. Look forward to next time

Great spot. Went before a show at SFJazz center. Everything was so tasty, service great, not too noisy.

The booth side seats were not very comfortable. Other than that the service and food was great!
