- BBennieSan Francisco Bay Area •123 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoIt is always a special experience to dine at the Rotunda because it is so much a part of San Francisco history and a beautiful venue! My friend Manuel had never been there so he had a blast seeing the space and enjoying the food. Ralph, our server, was polite and attentive and the food was good as always. I do enjoy a place where I am already recognized by the hosts especially since one feels like one is being greeted by family. :)More infoThe Rotunda at Neiman Marcus - San FranciscoPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown / Union Square•4.8
- CCassandraSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 6, 2025We came here for hour happy hour after a visit to SFMoMA. We had great wine and shareables — calamari, kale salad, fried chicken sliders and roasted brussel spouts. Everything was delicious! We had a really delightful waitress and were greeted nicely when we entered. Would definitely do a repeat visit!More infoThe HarlequinPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• SOMA•4.4
