    Despite very slow service, the hostess/server kicked us out after 1 hour bc they needed the table. We wanted to order more food and drinks but we had to go elsewhere. Very disappointing. They only seemed to come check on us when they wanted us to leave.

    I hosted a group of 8 for a business dinner at Per Diem this past week. I thought the service was very good and our server bent over backwards to accommodate our group. The food was very good as well, I think everyone really enjoyed their meal. The nice thing about this place is, you feel very comfortable and the atmosphere is easy going and not too hyped up. Which allowed everyone to have a good conversation.

    I am very happy Per Diem survived the pandemic. I had lunch with a friend and noticed other patrons were having work lunches. I appreciate the San Francisco dark wood ambience, my tri-tip sandwich was very good and the service was welcoming and relaxed.

    Per diem never fails to please. This is my go-to spot downtown for business lunches. The ambiance is great, it’s easy to find/accessible, prices are reasonable, and the noise level is just right.
