Wilson Favre-DelerueApril 12, 2016Each and every dish was original and delicious. Have all the starters to share and then 2-3 main courses for a party of 4. And follow the service team's beer recommendations blindly.
Kait GaissMay 13, 2016This sounds like the Rich Table (which we should also go to) of Russian Hill: a really lovely neighborhood place with plates to share and a great beer menu. Looks so warm and cozy from the outside.
Emily FaraoneJuly 2, 2016Stones Throw is a gem! The food is delectable and rich without being heavy. The staff truly cares about your experience. The owner of the restaurant personally inquired about our meal. 10/10!
Phil TorontoJuly 17, 2015Ordered: Puffed Potato & Eggs, Squid Ink Conchiglie Pasta, Roasted Beef Ribeye & a side of baked potato tater totsRibeye was excellent + the squid ink pasta & baked potato tater tots were must-haves
Mike WinstonJanuary 5, 2016A killer date night spot with impressive beer & wine lists and an absurdly good cheeseburger. Also, don't miss small plate "Snacks" like Puffed Potato & Eggs. Read about it on WinstonWanders below! Read more
- EaterJanuary 6, 2014For a comforting pasta or salmon dish, childhood-influenced dessert, and a smart wine or beer from the extensive selection, Stones Throw seems bound for glory in the Tuesday-night-restaurant category.
Serious EatsDecember 2, 2013New neighborhood spot from Michael Mina vets along tree-lined Hyde Street in Russian Hill. Check out the tots breaded in sour cream & onion Kettle chips and nostalgic dessert menu.
J SJuly 9, 2017Squid Ink pasta was great. Pbj donuts perfectly fried. Ube dessert was refreshing. Standout was the special, cheese tortellini with truffle and other amazing deliciousness. Plz add it to the menu!
BommyAugust 14, 2014Puffed potato & eggs, squid ink conchiglie pasta, da burga, and chocolate bananas foster. Really, everything is delicious and huge beer selection. Excellent service.
Connie LanterJune 1, 2014This place is amazing! We got a 5:30 reservation because it was the only one available, and it was totally worth it! The Japanese pancake and all desserts were a stand out for me! Great staff too!
Amy MatsunoAugust 27, 2014Puffed potato and eggs are heavenly. Da Burga is filling (the meat patty is 1 inch thick!) but super tasty and the tater tots are like mini stuffed baked potatoes. End it all with the Bananas Foster!
AnissaAugust 23, 2016Great classy brunch vibe and you can still order the popular puffed potato and cauliflower! Short and sweet brunch menu - everything is good!
Jacyn SiebertMay 7, 2014What a fun and energetic local spot! Great food, fantastic, attentive service and personal touches from the management. I will definitely make this my go-to spot!
Alice ZhouNovember 17, 2013Everything on the menu is good. Just realize you will simply have to come back multiple times to try everything instead of stuffing yourself all in one dinner. Or invite friends and go family style =]
Grant AndersonNovember 2, 2013Drop what you're doing and get the baked potato tater tots. Doesn't matter if you're not even at the restaurant, hop in an uber and ride towards flavor heaven.
James JOctober 22, 2014Squid ink pasta was amazing although it looks like big insects. Highlight was the potato with egg inside appetizer though. The pb&j beignet were so good. So was the amore dessert.
المهره الصعبه ماهي لأي خيالSeptember 3, 2016Good vibes & food ❤️ the buffed potato with egg and the black inc squid pasta were really yummy 👍🏻
Elynn LeeJuly 9, 2015Puffed potato and eggs lives up to the hype - it's amazing. I could eat an entire plate of them! The sweet corn soup was also very yummy.
Order the michelada. It's not on the menu anymore but they still make the mix fresh daily. So good!
NanaJune 28, 2015One of the best new and upcoming restaurants in SF. Squid ink pasta, duck pate, pork belly and duck breast. All were delllicccious!!
Shirley LauAugust 15, 2016Try the duck pate, puff potato and eggs, duo beef dish, and peach dessert!
Daniel MejiaSeptember 11, 2016Squid ink pasta is amazing and the burger is also pretty awesome. Great service as well.
Celena ChanOctober 30, 2015The scallops were unbelievable! I also really enjoyed the quail and burrata. One of the best meals I've had! Great drink selection.
Tim GolfballMarch 20, 2014Almond flour pancakes delicious. Soft scrambled eggs were great and potatoes crisped to perfection. Oj disappointed as it tasted from concentrate. Great place
Gabriela GarciaSeptember 6, 2015Service is great!!! After a long day they made us feel more than welcomed! Good wine and nice food!! Try the ceviche!!!
Ariel NorlingAugust 20, 2015The squid ink pasta may be the best thing that I have ever eaten. Get bartender's choice for "cocktails," they'll never let you down.
Delyn SimonsJuly 29, 2016Squid ink pasta, duck breast main, Sauvignon Blanc by the glass is stellar.
- Meaghan HJanuary 17, 2018So delicious! Highly recommend the octopus Bolognese, but get it as an entree! It’s that good
Mark EisslerNovember 10, 2013Great place to grab a glass of wine or beer and meet new peeps in the neighborhood. Looks like a pretty good menu too!
Meghana DharJanuary 9, 2014Squid ink pasta, Dungeness crab salad, puffed potatoes won't disappoint. Waiting long for your table? Ask for complimentary champagne from the owner
Maybs MDecember 23, 2013Brunch: dishes like duck confit hash, pumpkin-spiced donuts, and smoked salmon with bagel chips. Sundays, 11 am-2 pm
Peter BergAugust 24, 2016Great food, esp. puffed potatoes, pate & rib eye/short rib. But the dessert menu is a disaster. Impossible to discern. When I'm tipsy & want sweets, don't give me an SAT problem. Poor pastry chef.
Josh EricksonJanuary 3, 2016The Nutella crepes are insane. If you're looking for something savory go with the spicy baked eggs with pork.- Angus RobertsonMarch 8, 2015Outstanding brunch, notably the puffed potatoes with egg yolks inside and Nutella crepes.
Ben FloydDecember 17, 2016Such amazing service, food and wine knowledge impressive! Would def come back!
StephanieMarch 22, 2014Must try the puffed potato & eggs, scallops, and 'da burga'. Will definitely be coming back for brunch!- Fiona StripeJuly 16, 2016The whole meal was really delicious, but the squid ink pasta really shone above the rest!
David SteinNovember 9, 2015the squid ink pasta is great. one of the better fancy burgers in the city.
Brilliant good, brilliant staff, beautiful décor. One of my favorites in SF.
Ryan DorshorstAugust 8, 2014Da Burga (burger) is exceptional, as are the baked potato tots that come with it.

"Got here at 5pm on a Sunday and the bar was full already. Sit to the side and order off the menu. The wines on tap were great and the olives and hummus made some great snacks before dinner."
