Reviews
The charming bear decor and communal tables are gone.
More concerning: we spent $1,700 for two people (including beverage pairing) and received no birthday acknowledgment beyond an initial greeting and card. No candle, no special dessert, nothing. Every other Michelin-starred restaurant I’ve celebrated at has made birthdays feel special.
The food was underwhelming, nothing special, portions in each of the dishes are tiny that left us hungry.
The Coal-Roasted Wagyu Ribeye was excellent but just one thin slice. The Liberty Duck which is also one thin slice was too salty.
Dessert ended with 2 bonbons and a single gummy bear.
Compared to my first visit, both the creativity and the number of dishes have declined significantly.
For two Michelin stars and this price point, Saison, Californios, Birdsong, and Commis all offer much better experiences.
We were left very disappointed. Cannot recommend this place, spend your money elsewhere.
The banana bread and cold brew we brought back were such a nice touch!
The second half (starting from duck, then steak, and dessert) was not memorable, especially dessert was quite mediocre – sorry for saying that, but there is really nothing to highlight in dessert section, no pastry… just diff ways to serve fruits, no cake, no interesting finishings.
As Michelin 2 stars, service is ok, food is well paced, def not as impressive as other 2 stars we have been. Hope this feedback can be helpful!
Food: Exceptional across the board. The cioppino, bread and butter, trout, and wagyu were out of this world. The wine pairing was spot on – remarkable bottles and one of the best Sauvignon Blancs I’ve ever had. Worth every penny, which I don’t often say about pairings. Some reviews mentioned small portions; that wasn’t my experience.
Service: Excellent. Perfect pacing with no long waits. Servers were sharp, personable, and deeply knowledgeable.
Finishing touches: The banana cake and cold brew to-go were the best parting gifts I’ve ever had. The espresso at the end was also one of the best I’ve had. Loved the personalization of the notebook.
Minor misses: We had 3 separate waiters try to get a cocktail order. The cocktail was not as balanced as the rest of the menu. The restroom felt basic for a two-star. The décor could be more refined, though I appreciated the open kitchen.
Notes: Attire smart casual. Parking is tough so take a taxi, especially if you’re getting the pairing. There’s no bar. No communal dinners anymore.
Can’t wait to be back!
Any disappointments? Only the cocktails, which 3 of us ordered, and no one thought were splendid. I ordered wine (Sauvignon Blanc). There’s not a lot of choices for by the glass, but mine was perfect for this meal. We didn’t go for any of the pairing options (non-alcoholic, standard, and blow-the-budget.) Would we come again? Yes, we would!
The food, service, ambiance is a 15 out of 10.
We especially appreciated how customizable the menu was. I enjoyed a fully vegetarian menu with a wine pairing that felt just as creative and complete as the standard offerings, while my wife had a menu adjusted to avoid certain meats she didn’t prefer. Every dish was beautifully presented, thoughtful, and delicious, with a level of creativity that made the whole experience feel special.
Lazy Bear isn’t just a dinner, it was an experience. For anyone looking for a unique and memorable night out, it’s hard to beat.
We felt very rushed between the courses, even though we were finished because they were very cheap with the amount of wine they served in every glass.
I expect more than just papertowels in the bathroom for a two star restaurant.
Our waiters were very knowledgeable and gave us tips about bars in SF, highly appreciated!
