   Nothing to write home about. The wagyu steak frites did not seem like wagyu beef?! It was pretty tough and stringy, definitely not of highway quality.

   The Mothers' Day specials were incredible. The flavor profile and presentation were excellent. Service was outstanding. Grilled Spanish Octopus with frisee, sweet relish, and roasted fingerling potatoes was mouthwatering. Dungeness Crab soup = delicious. And, the special dessert of coconut panna cotta, with toasted coconut, passion fruit sorbet, and pansy petals finished off a perfect meal with mom. We were seated inside, versus the patio (which was quite nice as the winds had picked up in the afternoon. Sessions is a favorite, as their food and service is consistently outstanding, and the atmosphere is pleasant whether you are on the patio, or inside.

    We love this place! We live in Marin and to meet friends in the City can be a hassle with finding parking and cross-City traffic, but Sessions has become our go-to spot. The parking is always easy and it is just across the bridge! AND... food and service are wonderful! They have a good variety and we've never had a bad meal there. They have a large outdoor area that is great when weather permits, too. Highly recommend Sessions!
    

    Sessions at the PresidioResponded on May 15, 2023RobertaE, thank you for your very nice review. Our $5 discounted parking in a secure lot is a great deal in San Francisco. We are happy to know that all of your visits have been favorable....keep em coming! Thank you once again Juan B

    It really is a great place to dine and have drinks. The outside area on a nice day is especially nice. I would say the food is high quality but sometimes the flavors and execution are not always the best thought the entire menu - dome really good items some so so. However, the fries make up for any other dishes that may not be done perfectly - they are really good. I continue to go go there and have for some time. It would be nice to see them change their menu a bit more often and perhaps add a couple of more vegetarian items.
    

    Sessions at the PresidioResponded on May 15, 2023Thank you 1dinerdeluxe! Very nice feedback which we will share with the team, as we continue to strive with better results. Our patio on a nice day cant be beat - correct about that. Our menu changes quarterly based on seasonality and we also do try to offer specials on a weekly basis. Looking forward to your next visit!

    I wish the servers won’t be checking on our table every 15 min. It was really annoying as their constant checking interrupts the flow of conversion at our table and also it felt like we were being RUSHED with our meal. I was with 2 out of towners from Cambridge, MA and one was a professor from Harvard Univ. This is something she commented to me about if is typical for servers to constantly check at tables. Sessions is my favorite place to take first time guests as is a nice restaurant with great food. I didn’t experience this level of servers constantly checking at our table till yesterday. Oh well…

    Fun dinner and a concert night starting at Sessions. Great atmosphere, service was on point throughout our time, and the cocktails delish! He had the steak - cooked to perfection! I enjoyed the salmon - so yummy and how do they prepare thick asparagus and keep it so very tender? Three days later and we’re both still talking about it!

    Have been to Sessions twice before. This time the hamburger was very disappointing. No flavor = the caesar was fine, but again no flavor in the dressing. Used salt to help on both, tho the hamburger was beyond help. At $49.00 per person plus tip of 10 bucks per person....yikes-almost $60.00 each for not much of a eating pleasure at the price.

    Fresh, delicious food, and fun drinks. It was a bit chilly on the porch, however they provide blankets. Ceiling heaters do not provide enough coverage. Also, porch is pet friendly which was a plus for our group. Service excellent!

    We ate outside, so I can't comment on inside ambiance other than to say that there appears to be a section that is more "fine dining" in appearance and another section that is more like a bar with a big tv screen tuned in to a sports channel. Their patio area has ceiling heated lamps and an abundance of space, but the tables are a bit rickety. They could do more with the area. The food was good and I particularly recommend the gnocchi because it has a lovely combination of greens with the gnocchi. This is a great idea and very complementary to the soft, cheesy and truffley textures and flavors of the rest of the dish.

    Great ambiance, friendly wait staff and quality meal (albeit a bit on the pricier side). We were seated outside but the weather was still slightly chilly/windy; however, the overhead heaters weren't working great. That said, the waiter did offer to give us blankets (unfortunately, the blanket I received was dirty, but I did appreciate the gesture). Overall, beautiful place (with courteous waitstaff) to enjoy a nice meal in the Presidio.

Due to the design of the patio, the heaters are overhead and can only do some much in cool and windy days. We hope to be able to serve you again. Juan B

    We celebrated a birthday. The food was not very good. Hamburger was cold. Five of us had meals that were meh. I I have had better at this restaurant and certainly brunch at other restaurants have been far superior. I let the restaurant know it was a birthday celebration and I had to ask if they had anything they could bring to the table as a dessert. The waiter had already brought the bill but, they did accommodate by bringing a beignet.
