On a cool and rainy evening in Russian Hill what better oasis than Abrazo. Mike and Israel meet you with a smile and you quickly settle in to the great food , wine and ambiance of this classic neighborhood restaurant. The small plates (Gambas, Chicken and Potato soup, Gem salad and olive bread) are the opener followed by Pork Chop, Chicken and Sole as the mains. Delicious. Wine choices are varied and reasonable. Abrazo is simply a great dining experience.

My husband and I dined here for the first time the other night and had a very nice experience. The menu isn’t overwhelming but has a variety of options. As the other reviewers mentioned, it’s a cozy space and all the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. We ordered the bone marrow, endive salad, patatas bravas, and the paella. We enjoyed everything!

This was our first time to Abrazo, and the food was delicious. We ordered the grilled persimmons with jamon serrano, frisee, radicchio, pomegranate-yougurt, cabrales and sherry vinegar, the gambas al ajillo, the braised lamb, an order of the seasonal house bread, and a glass of red wine (Juan Gil Silver Label), and thoroughly enjoyed all of it. The only negative was the cocktail, El Profundo, which sounds and looks intriguing because of the smoke, but in the end the smoke landed up obscuring all of the other flavors in the drink. The server was terrific, and the restaurant is very cozy and welcoming.

All the food, wine, and bubbly were very tasty. Abrazo is a fun, neighborhood gem that everyone in the Russian Hill area should try - at least once. Service was fabulous and our waitress did not steer us wrong. The Paella was unbelievable! Highly recommended
