I have lived in San Francisco for nearly a decade and have tried all the ‘greatest hits’ with the exception being Rich Table. After putting it off for a very long time for my birthday my girlfriend decided to surprise me with reservations here. ….. wow. This place is truly mind blowing in every sense of the phrase. We started off with the friendliest hostess of all time (I’m sorry I forgot your name but you are absolutely amazing), got seated in an amazing seat (theres not a bad seat in the house) And proceeded to have 2 hours of one of the best dining experiences the city has to offer. Their menu constantly changes so I won’t pin point exactly what dishes were so amazing because there’s a chance you won’t even be able to try them lol, but just go… they were all outstanding. I’ll post photos, but tonight the highlight was the Cavier, Rigatoni, Steak, and we even had the Chili which sounded random but they made incredibly delicious. The cocktails are a no-miss too. I had several with my favorite being a rye cocktail with a Cabernet reduction egg white (???) yeah… sounds wild and it was, just go and trust the process. Special shout out to our server Nicole who was especially amazing with guiding us through the menu and explaining every dish, we didn’t even ask for an explanation or the full 9 but hearing the backstory, history, and love they put into their food made this experience so incredible. This was the best place I’ve ever had dinner for my birthday. At the end they even gave us a signed menu from that night, defiantly a keepsake I’ll hold onto for such a memorable time. Rich Table, RT Rotisserie, you easily have the best operation in the city. Thank you so much again and I’m already dreaming to be back.

Tasting menu was great. Everything tasted delicious and a good variety of flavours. Service was nice and efficient. Got to sit at the bar and watch the chefs cook, which was quite entertaining Need reservation in advance.

We took Michael to Rich Table for his birthday since it’s his favorite restaurant in SF. We opted for the family menu, and every dish was delicious and generously portioned. The staff was also very thoughtful in accommodating our vegetarian friend—they really made sure everyone was taken care of. The service stood out the most: the team was incredibly friendly and attentive. It almost felt like a co-op with how well they worked together and how much they seemed to care. It was a fantastic experience overall, and of course, we’ll be back again.

Was honestly really disappointed by Rich Table after reading all the great reviews, hearing great things from friends and most of all enjoying RT rotisserie so much. Our host who sat us gave us impeccable service but once we got seated at the bar, the service was quite average. My water glass was constantly empty and we had to get the attention of the servers more often than they automatically attended to us. The bar was quite cramped and in general the entire space feels really small, dark, cramped and divey. As for the food, we ordered the sardine chip, the dumpling, the porcini donuts, the uni tonnarelli pasta, and the chicken liver mousse. The sardine chip tasted exactly like how it sounds, a fried sardine on a chip.. very basic/nothing special. The dumplings were super disappointing, as a Chinese person I found these no better than any frozen dumpling I could get at 99 ranch except these were $$$ (not worth it). Chicken liver mousse was fine but the zucchini bread it came with was so crumbly and dry. The porcini donuts were decent and interesting but after they cooled down they weren’t as good anymore. Our favorite part of the meal was definitely the uni pasta which I thought was very good, but the portion was very small. Between me and my husband we finished the dish in two bites each. Honestly I wouldn’t come back again and don’t understand the hype and why so many people seem to love this place. I found the food to be poorly executed (looked great on menu), and lacking in interesting flavors. Really disappointed as I had expected more. Will stick to eating RT rotisserie (which I love dearly)

Rich Table offers exceptional service, and every bite was a true delight. Everything we were served was a culinary adventure, paired with excellent wines. It’s not cheap, but absolutely worth the price. A wonderful experience with outstanding service, and we would love to return.

Loved the cozy atmosphere here and felt very inviting. Our server was great. We had the beet cocktails and a few wines, all of which were amazing. We had the saltine chip, chicken liver mousse, blue fin toast for starters. We had the urchin pasta, steak and pork for dinner. We loved the urchin pasta, amazing. The steak and pork both had a broth on top. We liked it for the pork but not so much the steak. Regardless, the restaurant is top notch

This is the second time we've gone here and was not disappointed. We went with their "let the chef choose" option and got to try the majority of the menu. Each course was delicious and tasty. By the end of our meal we were full! Great place for dates and for celebration.
