Love this place. It took me 20 years to finally have dinner here. It was worth the wait. Delicious food. Rotisserie chicken was probably one of the best I have tried. Thanks ,Tristan, for taking us out

Lovely experience, higher prices but really great atmosphere and quality of food. The fries were so thin and crispy, and the house ketchup was tangy and not sweet which is rare. The leeks and clams were one of our favorites, perfectly balanced and leeks so flavorful. The lamb ragu was like a shakshuka, my friend would only wish there was more bread served with it. The halibut cheeks were a bit like a scallop in texture, very well cooked with a sear.

Really fun time! Good spot for a special meal. The service was excellent! Food options were good and had a nice price scale. The tender flavorful chicken for two was enough for the four of us. Potato strings were a fun challenge to take down. The dessert cobbler was gigantic and mouth watering. The overall ambiance was very cool-old-school fancy mixed with a lil modern city vibe. Honestly the only thing I wasn’t crazy about was our table. Kind of weird booth seats where my back was 4 inches from the person sitting on the same area behind me.

While I’ve been here twice in the last 3 years, this time it was with my wife and a “splurge” late lunch early dining experience. Food was good. Space is wonderful. We ordered the chicken as neither of us had ever had it here before. It was good, but a tad dry (wings and legs) and salty (either from being brined or rubbed on and under the skin. You have to order an entire chicken and we brought almost 1/2 home. (FYI, the chicken is for 2 and is $72 and takes an hour to cook). We started with a dozen oysters (mixed varieties), a cara cara navel orange appetizer (while good was drenched in oil), followed by the chicken and finished with two desserts: a cookie plate and a tangelo sorbet paired with a latte and cappuccino. Mandatory gratuity of 20% and a SF restaurant service fee of 5%. Service was a little slow but as we’re waited an hour for the chicken we obviously weren’t in a hurry. Meal was 2 + hours. It’s a wonderful space. We would go back but just have a burger and a bottle of wine. The space is intimate and special.

Decided to do a Friday work lunch and it was such a treat! Got the roast chicken for two + bread salad which was well worth the wait (I loved the chicken but I think the underrated star is the oil-soaked bread).

Another wonderful Zuni experience! We usually go for dinner, but it was so fun to have a Sunday Brunch date. A special thanks to our wonderful server James who provided warm and anticipatory service.

Strolling past after geting my hair looking sharp and took a chance to see if their as available seating. The wonderful hostess grated me with a warm smile and ushered me to a corner window seat. Lucky day indeed. My waiter quickly brought the lunch menu and obligatory cocktail menu as it as such a gorgeous day. I took his suggestion and had the sparkling elderflower cocktail which paired well with my ceaser salad with shrimp – do recommend highly, but wish it came on a larger bowl/plate. Atmosphere knocked down a notch due to the loud self absorbed person seated next to me who decided to interrupt everyone’s personal time with his loud conversation. Luckily, the earphones were fully chagred. First Zuni experience in the late 90s and happy the Zuni experience has maintained its level of food and experience.
