Hospitality, Service, and food all wonderful. We were particularly impressed with the Service. Both from our server as well as from the Sommelier. Everyone was friendly, articulate and very pleasant. All of our dishes were excellent. The only thing that could be improved upon is the selection of Music playing in the dining room.

Had a fabulous experience! I don’t live in SF anymore so a challenge to find a perfect birthday party venue. Ristobar was perfect. We had a big round table in a semi-private area. Cozy and warm vibe. We could all converse the whole time. They whipped up a gorgeous charcuterie board and other appetizers were delicious. Matteo and team provided amazing service!! We all enjoyed the wine and our meals. Bravo!!

Food was excellent and being able to choose a “set” was very unique! Our server seemed pretty annoyed with us for whatever reason and we didn’t feel very welcomed the whole time we were there - maybe it was just an off day for them!
