Returned for my birthday after a wonderful first experience, but Lazy Bear has changed dramatically – and not for the better.
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.

Absolutely stunning and memorable culinary experience! Each dish is so exquisite and meticulously prepared that at times it felt too much might have preferred slightly bigger portions and a few less courses.
The banana bread and cold brew we brought back were such a nice touch!

The first half was good, innovative but too salty (especially the black mushroom, I can’t finish the bottom – just too too salty. My partner usually like salty food also think couple dishes are overwhelming salty). The crab toast was good, but can’t taste much of crab flavor.

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!

Wow. One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to and easily the top one or two-star in SF (better than Californios).

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!

It’s a tasting menu, so you will have whatever is seasonal and inspires the chefs. It will be served with an explanation from one of the many cordial and pleasant staff, and we (a party of four) found it intriguing and mostly delicious. Many courses, some very light, most just 2-3 bites – so we didn’t leave feeling overfilled, just fulfilled. The oysters served two ways was our favorite course.
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!

I mean come on, what else needs to be said here. There is a reason why the chef has 2 Michelin stars. Incredible experience, one of the best dining experiences of my life.
The food, service, ambiance is a 15 out of 10.

Lazy bears… you crushed it. Alex and I had such an incredible evening tonight. The food, the service and the atmosphere were all a 10 out of 10. You were kind, you were engaging, and you made us feel so special and taken care of. Thank you so much, we truly appreciate it.

Dining at Lazy Bear was one of the best culinary experiences we’ve had in San Francisco. From start to finish, the pacing was perfect as the courses flowed naturally without ever feeling rushed or drawn out, which made the evening feel effortless and immersive. The staff was incredibly attentive and took the time to walk us through each dish and pairing with just the right balance of detail and enthusiasm.

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.

What an amazing restaurant! The food was absolutely spectacular. The bread, the meat and the corn dish! This would be a five star review if it was just about the food and the service, but it is a two star Michelin restaurant so the expectations are high.

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!

One of the best meals I’ve ever had. The service was fun, friendly, and informative. Every detail was accounted for. Each course was unique, fresh, and delicious. The split pea soup was my favorite. But everything from the tea at the start of the meal to the wine pairings to the bonus dessert was exceptional. Can’t wait to go back!
