Was grateful to get a reservation on Valentines Day! My niece called them and they were able to seat a group of us (7) within an hour. Excellent service, and the food was great. Some highlights – the popovers of course, the clam chowder, and my fried chicken was very good. The ambience was both romantic but capable of seating multiple people. Enjoy!

Excellent food it was perfect. The portions are shareable and I really really enjoyed the mashed potato Buratta. All the portions are so big.

Service Swiss, excellent, attentive, time dwell, very friendly, everybody helped each other during service time. Definitely the highlight of this establishment is the service.

Location is great. It’s near the water near the office as well as near the hotel no issues walking there. it’s spacious a bit busy during the time when we went, otherwise we were seated fast and we were perfect in our table.

Lunch was excellent. I had the salmon entrée with Brussels sprouts and the lemonade of the day — everything was cooked perfectly. I usually order their famous fried chicken (herb-infused with a crunchy crust and a Meyer lemon finish), but it was nice to try something different. The deviled eggs are also really good. Great service and ambiance, though it can be a bit loud at larger tables. I really like the new location.

This narrow, intimate restaurant feels like stepping into a cozy country house – dark wood, rich walls, and plush velvet seating set a dim, moody tone. The service was attentive without being intrusive, with tables cleared promptly and courses timed perfectly.

The meal started with complimentary popovers that were crisp on the outside and soft inside. Everything I tried was full of flavor. The clam chowder was rich, creamy, peppery, and loaded with clams, and the cocktail shrimp were generously sized and very fresh. I couldn’t finish everything, so they thoughtfully packaged my leftovers, stored them with the hostess, and gave me a claim stub to pick them up on the way out. A great touch that kept the table uncluttered for drinks and dessert.

While the ambiance leans upscale, the overall vibe is relaxed and comfortable. I’ll definitely be back to try their famous fried chicken.

We hosted our wedding dinner here, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. The coordinator and sales events team were incredibly helpful in mapping out every detail, which made the afternoon feel smooth and effortless. Upon arrival, our guests were warmly greeted and welcomed, immediately offered drinks at the bar, and guided into the dining experience. The service felt thoughtful and well-paced, allowing us to truly enjoy the moment without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
Ava and Andrea, the event sales coordinators, provided thorough and well-designed questionnaires that captured every detail needed to properly accommodate our event. Their process made planning feel organized and stress-free, and it was clear that nothing was overlooked.

Our fifth anniversary was nothing short of magic, and Wayfare Tavern made it unforgettable. ✨

From the moment we walked in, we were met with warmth and grace—three heartfelt “Happy Anniversaries” from the host, our server, and even as we paid the bill. That kind of attention doesn’t just make a dinner—it makes a memory.

The interiors were a dream, designed by the ever-talented Jon de la Cruz, a kababayan whose work truly captures both elegance and soul. If you ever dine here, touch the wallpaper. Trust me—it’s art you can feel.

Before our meal even began, we were surprised with a complimentary champagne toast, a simple yet profoundly touching gesture. Then came the popover, buttery, golden, and cloud-soft—honestly one of life’s small perfections.

We started with Deviled Eggs, and I can confidently say—these were the best I’ve ever had. Each bite was creamy, tangy, and perfectly seasoned.
The Tavern Burger arrived, accompanied by dangerously addictive shoestring fries—one bite and I understood why it’s legendary.
Then, as a self-proclaimed fried-chicken devotee, the California Fried Chicken took my breath away: crisp, juicy, full of heart, and unmistakably Californian.
And to end the savory symphony, the Burrata Whipped Potatoes—so delicate, buttery, and dreamy, they could melt even the coldest heart.

Wayfare Tavern isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience, a love letter written in butter, wine, and grace. ✨
Thank you, Chef Tyler Florence and team, for giving our love story the most delicious chapter yet. ❤️

Great spot for shareable plates. Our waiter was very friendly and personable, knowledgeable about the menu, and even split our burger for us without us asking which was a perfect touch. The hot sauce was delicious on the fried chicken, and the Brussels sprouts were some of the best we’ve had in the city.

Wayfare Tavern is such an incredible spot for a wedding reception — timeless, cozy, and filled with that signature San Francisco charm. The atmosphere is warm and intimate, with the perfect mix of elegance and comfort. The food is phenomenal (truly some of the best I’ve ever had at a wedding!), and the staff is so attentive and welcoming. It photographs beautifully, especially with the moody lighting and vintage details that make it feel like a tucked-away gem in the heart of the city. It’s the perfect place for couples who want a romantic, elevated, yet laid-back celebration.

Great food and service. Small tables, girl in the front just shrugged her shoulders. And said, it’s fine for other people. We walked in at 4:30 for dinner on a Sunday night. There were few early diners. It was not exactly rocking and rolling. Tables besides were empty till 6:30. We were trying not to have the other stuff ie: coffee cups sides dishes. Not fall off the table. I ended up putting my saucer coffee next to table beside us. I like to eat my food all together.

Our waiter was definitely trained to be attentive and knowledgeable. He got our special order of all white meat on the fried chicken. Of course, with a nominal fee. Dessert was perfectly not too sweet and with a chocolate crust. We will be back. If I get a bigger table for dinner. It is Tyler Florences’s restaurant.
