Trishia Pascobillo: Afternoon tea for two, with champagne was lovely. Had the 100 anniversary tea...loved the florals and warm scones :) The Pear finger sandwich was my favorite.
Soo Wai Eng: Very good Sunday brunch!
Bloomingdale's: There’s nothing more civilized than weekend afternoon tea. Especially if you consume the finger sandwiches and scones amid the splendiferous turn-of-the-century trappings.

Christopher Kennedy: The service was amazing. The waiter was very knowledgable and personable. The Pates Frites were amazing, but be warned, it is more than two people can handle!
Jeremy D.: Hate to be this guy, but it's the truth: whoever the chef is could cook up human limbs and I'd still chow down. Incredibly delicious!!!
Pete Surber: Service is stellar-- the food? Not as awesome

Natalie K: Vietnamese bouillabaisse...amazing. Great ambiance.
Peter Cataldo: Brussel sprouts!!!!
Kevin Reilly: Skip the formal dining and head upstairs to the lounge. Comfortable seating with a full menu, excellent service, and live jazz. Try the braised brussel sprouts or anything with crab.

Cocktail Bar · Duboce Triangle · 180 tips and reviews
Brendan Curran: Great cocktails! Try the one with New Orleans chicory coffee.
Eater: An easy breezy Castro-bordering spot to rely on for a solid, sometimes rather inventive, cocktail. Blackbird has super-nice bartenders, and a fun-loving mixed crowd that rarely gets out of control.
7x7 Magazine: Class it up with the Hot Toddy made with Evan Williams Single Barrel, Mightly Earl Grey tea, molasses, brown sugar, and vanilla bean paste. It's one of the best Hot Toddy's around! Read more.
