   Wonderful experience at Mr Tipples - including terrific Dim Sum and wonderful music from the Emily Day Swingtet! Service was excellent and they accommodated early arrivals in the heavy rain.

   Had a great night here. The band was good and the drinks were great. Everyone working there was very nice. I was shocked at how nice the hosts were. It’s difficult to get good service in the city so their hospitality really means a lot. Thanks for taking care of us.

   Terrible experience due to management and their inability to deal with standard process around reservations. I showed up at 7:25p for a 7:30p reservation. I heard the couple directly in front me say they had a 8p reservation but they were seated right away. When I got to speak to the hostess at 7:29p i was literally told I was ‘early’ for my reservation and would have to wait. I politely noted she just sat a table 30 mins early right in front of me which felt inappropriate as there were literally 8 people standing in the vestibule behind them but was given no reply. Furthermore, once we were sat at 7:35p we were certainly informed of the 90 min limit. But after 90 mins I noted there were literally 4 other 2 top tables open when we were forcibly brought the check and told we had to leave the table. I informed the manager of the 4 other open tables but was told those weren’t the same reservations and he needed literally my 2 top table? I then also informed him of the error in seating the table literally right next to us 35 mins early and why were they permitted to keep sitting and had not been brought their check? He just said ‘sorry’ and said we must leave and then walked away. We walked to the bar area for another 30 mins and then left, but when leaving I made eye contact with the manager again noting to him that table next to me who he inappropriately gave my 7:30p table for their 8p reservation, was still at their table at 9:45p and still had no check, and he did nothing. This was my first visit and I can’t believe the way I was treated despite having spent a couple hundred dollars tab on food and many drinks.

   My friends could not believe SF has a Jazz Venue as appealing as Mr. Tipple’s. The room is elegant and set up for Jazz, drinks, great Dim Sum, and the right balance between listening and quiet conversation. The crowd is there on purpose looking sharp and leaning in. The service team is great at making your 90 minutes of glory (table res max) flow.

   Great place. The music was phenomenal. I was a bit surprised that all the visitors were more interested in speaking amongst themselves rather than paying attention to the music which led to a higher background noise level and less interaction with the performers. Also, forget parking anywhere nearby. The closest lot was $80! Better to park a few miles away and take a ride share to the venue. But the venue itself including food and services were great.

    I almost don't want to write a review and keep this gem to myself and all the friends I've brought there. From the moment you arrive and meet the unbelievably welcoming Jessica to the friendly wait staff including Frankie, it's full-on no-attitude enjoyment. The music is always fantastic and professional, even if it sometime stretches your comfort zone. Even my Chinese-American friends say the Dim Sum is pretty darn good, especially for a music venue. I think they've lately had enough demand to slightly increase the cover fee, but it's worth every penny. N.B. Resrvations are are 90 minutes, including a bit more than 60 minutes of sets. It's not a good place to go if you want to talk to friends. Don't sit up close if you want to chat. Talking a bit is tolerated in the second tier, but it's really a destination for listening to the music. There is time to chat during breaks and if you want to move back to the bar after your reservation is over.
