    The waiters are super friendly and welcoming. Yet there is a receptionist by the name of Nethan he was extremely rude and disrespectful in a clever way, I wish that the administration would have a talk with him regarding how customers should be treated.

    It was my first time here and is a great location for city lights viewing and the food was delicious. A great new find for visitors or when I have visitors in town.

    Ambience was nice and it was a pretty setting but our waiter was incredibly slow and forgetful. Had forgotten to put our food order in and we waited pretty long for just some oysters. We had asked for scissors and that took nearly an hour to come.

    I celebrated my 45th Birthday here, and it will always be a night to remember. From the ambience, to the food, and let’s not forget the amazing staff. The cocktails were also delicious just the the entrees. I will indeed be back, because it’s simply beautiful on the rooftop!

    We came here to celebrate my buddy’s girlfriend moving to SF. Her name is Shelby and we surprised her with a rooftop dinner at a restaurant with her namesake. It was amazing and magical. They were able to accommodate our reservation to be seated outside so we could enjoy the view and beautiful October evening. The service was a tad bit slow, but no judgement because there seemed to be only one server for a huge section of the patio with a few large parties. The food was amazing! We pretty much got all the share plates (prosciutto burrata flatbread was on point!), and the whole roasted chicken (the skin was incredible!). We also got both desserts which tied up the meal nicely. We requested some port, which they normally don’t serve but they found us a bottle that was perfectly sweet with a slight tang. Would love to come back here sometime on my own or with a smaller group for a more intimate seating arrangement. Highly recommend Shelby’s Rooftop for a unique San Francisco experience!
