We enjoyed lunch at this delightful and light filled spot. My husband had osso bucco ravioli and I had ahi tuna salad. We were delighted. We highly recommend this restaurant!

Cache French bistro is a very welcome addition to San Francisco and has tremendous potential. Modern style yet at the same time quite classic French techniques with some regional flavors that you don't really get anywhere else. Simple at its core, and a majority of courses have nuanced textures and seasonings that work well, and go well with wine, particularly in the style of natural, organic, biodynamic range that is popular these days. There is one area of improvement, where one staff member spoke a bit too softly while introducing the sauce of one dish (the sea bream sashimi), and subsequently when staff brought out the dish, they mostly stopped introducing them and giving them brief descriptions. So it was just placed at the table then walk away, which is kind of odd. I'm the type who is curious enough to know what it is I am eating, and want to know beyond the menu descriptors. I'm happy to re-visit again and hope this is addressed in the future. It's a small detail that is easily rectified that would improve the experience greatly. Regardless, the food here is great, even the desserts. Sometimes we crave simplicity with flair, a somewhat low key feel neighborhood gem and destination, because sometimes fine dining can be tiring and overplayed, and Cache does deliver on that.

We had a wonderful birthday lunch for my friend who turned 80. Service was delightful and attentive and the food very chic and delicious. One person had salmon, the other the seared ahi, another had Cesar salad and crab cakes. I had the wild mushroom risotto with chicken. We topped it off with beignets for dessert and they brought a birthday bread pudding and ice cream dessert with a candle for my friend. Everything was so good.

Always a delight. Family owned brasserie. Amazing food, great service. Three course is plenty of food, scallop addition is worth the splurge. Wine list is well curated with new and old world selections. Cocktails are hand crafted and served without pretentiousness. We need more restaurants like this….
