Restaurants near Gilman Playground

The food was fresh and very flavorful, and light. Sitting at the bar gave us a fantastic view of all the cocktails being crafted. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Elena's and would definitely recommend it.

Course meal was just unique and amazing. Won’t give anything away but each plate came unique and completely it’s own. Diverse and elegant. Creative, purposeful, yet refined without such detail. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Really fantastic on all counts. Everything we ordered was beautifully prepared and delicious. Love the ambience. Foreign Cinema continues to be one of the more stellar restaurants in SF

I went on a date to Old Skool Cafe last night and I had a wonderful time! The live jazz music was perfect for ambience, the food was fantastic, and the service was outstanding. The staff even added in a little gift for my date during dessert. 10/10 would come again!!!

Dinner at Niku Steakhouse was such a great experience. The host was wonderful—prompt, welcoming, and responsive. Service started a little slowly before I was initially attended to, but once my server took over, everything flowed beautifully. They were warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain each course in depth. The food was excellent, and the pacing was appropriate—I just happen to eat quickly, so I personally prefer my courses to arrive a little faster! The cocktail was gorgeous, incredibly smooth, and dangerously easy to drink. My surprise favorite was the amuse-bouche, followed closely by the pasta with pickled mushrooms. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the mushrooms, but the dish was absolutely amazing. Less favorite was the halibut crudo, and of course, the Wagyu was superb. I’m already planning a return visit—especially because I need to save room for dessert next time!
