ᴡ ElliotNovember 12, 2015Everything was phenomenal, from the service to the decor to the meal. We went on a Friday with no reservation, tried our luck at 8:30 & she was able to seat is at 10:30, so we just got a drink nearby.
jon ferrerFebruary 29, 2016They're doing something really special here. If you have an open mind about creative cooking, aren't a unyielding carnivore, the you'll love this place. The bread and desserts are also so so on point!
- EaterDecember 14, 2015Semilla was one of the three spots awarded best restaurant of 2015. Even if you rarely eat meat,the vegetable-centric Semilla will challenge your notions of what's supposed to taste good.
Varun ShettyAugust 30, 2015Intimate and delicious. 8 courses. Most vegetables. $75. The mirror in the bathroom is one way and looks into the kitchen.
Alyxa LeaseJune 24, 2015Semilla was amazing. Artistic and delicious. The bread selection changes by the day and is amazing. You can't go wrong with their tasting menu. Make a reservation in advance!
Rebecca BeaNovember 7, 2015Every dish was memorable, wine pairings spot on. Such care and attention to all tastes. Billy and Gaby took very good care of us. Vegetarian tasting dream! Must have rezzie.
Sara R.March 14, 2015What a great meal! Loved pretty much every course. The sourdough rye bread was a highlight. We are vegetarian, and they did a great job of accommodating us.
Honghui YuApril 15, 2015Chefs Jose and Pam work magic with their 10-course "vegetable-forward" tasting menu. My favorites were the sunchoke chawanmushi and roasted carrots in pea shoot broth.
Stephanie WuDecember 21, 2015one of the best meals of my life. i'm a die-hard meat eater and this all-vegetarian tasting menu was amazing. sorrel ice cream? yes please!
GQ MagazineDecember 3, 2015The best course (which is saying a lot) will be the bread. The slices arrive about halfway through, crisp on the outside, chewy-soft inside. Read more
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantJanuary 20, 2016Delicious, tasting table only. Lots of small courses. Love it but not a place I would come back to frequently.
Tim HettlerDecember 22, 2014This vegetarian-friendly prix fixe menu is excellent for romantic dates or special occasions. All other bread must bow before their Einkorn-Buckwheat bread.
Bon Appetit MagazineMay 31, 2016Semilla has a relentlessly inventive menu that explores every possible thing you can do with every possible part of the season’s veg, all in the pursuit of maximum flavor and zero waste. Read more
Ryan JorgensonMarch 5, 2015The tasting menu is thoughtful, perfectly paced, and heady. The natural wines compliment the earnest food, especially the eccentric contact wines. Bravo.
Kat CMay 14, 2016Great, inventive tasting menu. Focus is on vegetables with meat and seafood used sparingly.
suneelApril 10, 2015salad with cocoa dressing is great and all, but at least on my visit, both desserts were clear winners. Gewürztraminer too.
Cuauthemoc SandovalAugust 26, 2015They are vegetable magicians I tell you! Drink pairing had tons of unique selections. Quite the unique bathroom experience.
AmateurConciergeOctober 11, 2015For all the hype, only the broccoli salad and the bitter almond custard were delicious. Wonder if all the hype is because of the ever changing menu? Decent but doesn't live up to expectations
Michelle GabeJune 25, 2015Experimental menu that is Very accommodating to vegetarians! Also, check out the bathroom!
Tom WolfsteinMarch 30, 2016Despite the fact that their "must-listen-to" recorded message says they are open on Tuesdays, they appear not to be. You could find that out if they answered the phone after 530pm. Alas, they don't.
- Michelle GabeMay 10, 2015So perfect for vegetarians! Every dish was amazing. I wouldn't change one thing.
- NicolasSeptember 27, 2015Dessert is good. But the menu was disappointing. Bread is a course? Tomato for every course? Tomato again? Please, no more tomatoes. Vegetables are not limited to tomatoes...
