The Wagyu Bruschetta was underwhelming—while it’s supposed to highlight high-end ingredients, the beef was sliced so thinly it was nearly flavorless, and the supplement overpowered what little Wagyu was there. The Uni Risotto didn’t deliver either—I couldn’t detect any uni flavor at all. The hand roll tasted like a plain veggie roll, with no trace of seafood. The octopus lacked any flavors or texture that would make it stand out, and the ceviche was a low point: stale rice crackers and indistinguishable seafood that made it hard to even tell what I was eating.
The only dish that landed was the sashimi, which was decent, though nothing exceptional.
My advice? Don’t take “Japanese-Mexican-Mediterranean fusion” too literally. Japanese cuisine shines in its clarity and restraint, allowing quality ingredients to speak for themselves. At Xebec, competing flavors and overly fussy concepts ended up drowning out what should have been the stars of the plate.
Service was good.
The menu skillfully marries Japanese and Mediterranean flavors with both elegance and boldness. Each dish was a unique fusion, pushing the boundaries of both cuisines in taste and presentation. The decor managed to strike a perfect balance between cozy charm and Michelin-star sophistication. What truly stood out was the genuine warmth of the owners, who clearly pour their hearts into crafting a memorable culinary experience. I’m spreading the word about this gem and can’t wait to return for more.
They have a small wine menu. However, I love their creative craft cocktails!
The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive- which is a nice change of pace.
My only nitpicky thing is that the bathrooms are small. There’s no place to place your purse or hang up your jacket. But if that’s my only complaint, I’d call the place a win!
We ordered the potatoes, sushito peppers, hamachi sashimi, Chilean sea bass, and the papardelle pasta. The flowers gin cocktail was tasty. They gave us a hand signed anniversay card & ice cream! That was a nice surprise!
We’d visit this restaurant again to try other appetizers and entrees. I’d recommend going to this restaurant. Thank you Xebec.
It’s a gorgeous restaurant with a beautiful private room AND parking was easy in this part of Hayes Valley, so there’s really no excuse not to give Xebec a try!
Highlights were the patatas bravas (the sauce is to die for), the focaccia (the puttanesca sauce is cooked down nearly into a paste – delicious and strong), the hamachi (high-quality fish atop a balanced sweet/sour ponzu), and the burger (delicious aioli).
We’ve been twice since they opened two weeks ago and will be back very soon – go soon before reservations start to fill up.
(Note – it’s also priced very reasonably relative to restaurants in the area. The burger is $19 and most entrees are in the $20-30 range – I would bet they’ll up the prices over time so head over quickly!)
