Best Live Music Restaurants in Civic Center / Hayes Valley / Van Ness

Service was spot on, Agape Soul was bangin', food was YES. The cocktails and duck bao were a highlight.

Charming "old school" Jazz Bistro-Supper Club vibe. Mellow Jazz, jazz themed bar mural and decor. The food is excellent, perhaps a bit rich for me (lots of butter and creme). Delicious! The bar is very classic-classy, well staffed, and great craft cocktails. All staff were engaging, pleasant, upbeat, and professional. Coat check is a nice 'grace note.'

We enjoyed an absolutely beautiful Christmas dinner at Laurel Court. Highlights included the live Christmas jazz trio that so beautifully captured the mood of the families celebrating together, awesome dessert selection (wow!), and huge, artful charcuterie and vegetable displays. We loved the assortment of dim sum favorites, and the carving stations, along with yummy salads, breads, soups (lobster bisque!), and other side dishes. We appreciated the family-friendly menu as well, with the table of children's favorites, which were a big hit with our 5 year old and 1 year old. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and everything was first class. After our dinner, we visited the Fairmont Gingerbread House, and took in the gorgeous Christmas decor of the hotel. Altogether it was an excellent Christmas day, and we thank all the staff at the Fairmont who worked on the holiday to give us this magical experience. Thank you!

Our Christmas Day Brunch experience was fantastic. I have some food allergies so I had emailed The Post Room Team in advance and received a prompt, reassuring reply from the chef, Jose, who had clearly given my questions thoughtful and thorough consideration. On the day, I received personal service from Jose who was committed to avoiding issues with cross-contamination. All the food we ate was delicious and the dining room team could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. We were so well looked after, it was a faultless festive experience. We only went out for our Christmas meal this year because I had recent hand surgery and can’t cook much. However, our experience at The Post Room was so delightful, I am considering doing it again next year. Thank you to Jose and the whole team.

Best medium rare burger . Perfectly cooked. Nice Ambience. And easy access to the chapel. Will come back for sure
