  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
The Gold Mirror is a true San Francisco staple. Originally a New Orleans speakeasy opened in 1929, the restaurant was purchased by Di Grande family, from Augusta Sicily, in 1969 serving Italian specialties and a sense of home.

The Gold Mirror offers an increasingly hard-to-find experience of great culinary skill with an extremely welcoming atmosphere accompanied by a storied wine and cocktail program. The Gold Mirror has been a neighborhood tradition for over 50 years while continuing to serve as a sense of home for all San Franciscans.

BEST SAID BY THE SF Chronicle’ Jonathan Kauffman “Gold Mirror, at 50, remains a constant in a changing city”

    Had a fun evening but the set menu price was very expensive.I am a regular and did not know it would be a fixed price.The items on the menu were great and we were very pleased with the food. It was extra noisy as opposed to normal. Thanks

    I’ve been going to this restaurant more than 50 times in my life. I had a birthday party on December 30 with a bill of. $1262. One of my guest took a rose from the vase and gave it to me as a birthday gesture. For some reason that one rose was taken with us to our next location which is a few doors down. The two ladies chased me down and asked for the rose. I apologized and asked who took the rose and gave it back. They also sent me a text about how we stole that rose off the table. I really wish that they will not do that to future customers for an unintentional overlook. I couldn’t Sleep well for the next couple of days because of the word “stole”they used… not even a thank you for dining with us in that text, just “you just dined with us, and one of you stole our rose and we want it back”

    Probably will never go again because you are connected now to a marijuana dispensary. Sad because we have been eating here 40 years. Bad decision on your part.

    Excellent service! The food was good. Loud party animals at the table next to us somewhat marred the experience.
