Excellent friendly service. Good choice of specialty cocktails and wines by the glass, in addition to the food selection. The Wild Mushroom Fettuccine was especially rich and filling. It was our first time here, but we'll be back again.

Staff was all friendly and helpful. They were able to leave andouille sausage out of the mussels for me & they were still delicious. Brussels sprouts were particularly good. My husband enjoyed his fried chicken meal. We sat upstairs where it was a little warm, but drinking iced water made us much cooler.

Nice lively spot! Extensive drink menu and fun menu The food and service were very good and our waiter was nice and courteous! Not giving it 5 stars because I exchanged the garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli which also had garlic to which I am allergic with sauteed vegetables, There was a $4.00 "change Fee" that was never mentioned when the substitution was suggested by the waiter. 1- there should not be such a charge 2- is there is the patron should be made aware and decide to proceed accordingly. $4.00 is not the end of the world but it is not professional not to mention it hoping the client would not notice.

The waitress told us that any/all proteins added to the gnocchi would be $7 (or maybe $8). Turns out the shrimp was $14, which we found out after the receipt came out. No offer at all to rectify the mistake or even apology, just an awkward “I guess so.”

Aliment is a neighborhood place, and it's a good hike up Nob hill from Union Square. There's a nice bar and seating both inside and outside (at least at this time of year). The food was good ( had the fried chicken sandwich), and the service was very friendly and quite prompt . We ate lunch early, on our way to a play and the restaurant was virtually empty when we arrived at 11:30, but it filled up between 12:00 and 1:00. Since the restaurant is a bit out of the way, I'd only recommend it to a friend after explaining exactly where it is.

Other than the table with a dog that wouldn’t stop growling/barking. It was great. If owners can’t keep their pets under control they shouldn’t bring their pets out. I don’t care if it is a rescue, I’m happy for them, but the dog needs to stay home or away. It is ruining experience for three people.

The restaurant was excellent from food to service. We went on a Saturday for the weekend brunch; I ordered the shakshouka and my friend ordered the chilaquile. The poached eggs in the shakshouka were perfect and the tomato sauce was nice and spicy. The chilaquile said the short rib was excellent. Presentation was very appetizing. We were first disappointed that the weekend brunch didn’t offer dessert but our server managed to persuade the kitchen to allow us to order the pistachio tiramisu and the bread pudding. The pistachio flavor was a twist from the traditional tiramisu and it was nice and creamy. The bread pudding was deliciously warm. Our server was attentive throughout the lunch and we thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience.
