    Not my favorite experience at Prospect. Normally it's very good and the menu is super interesting. Tonight, there were not many entrees and everything seemed pretty ho-hum. Tasty. But not the amazing experience it usually is.

    paying the price foor the poor quality meat in the salsa verde pork and the very sugary cocktails , the citrus bloom , margarita and another drink were too sweet and the tree leches cake was also too dry where i needed a glass of water to wash it down with. disappointed in those areas but the spanish grilled octopus and filet minon were the best

    Fantastic! Everything was great from start to finish. We came for our anniversary, and they really went the extra mile to make the night special. The host greeted us warmly and congratulated us, there was also a lovely card waiting for us at the table, both the server and sommelier wished us a happy anniversary, and they even brought out a complimentary desert with a candle. All very nice touches that were not expected but appreciated! Every course was beautifully plated and delicious. We had the little gems salad, the focaccia, hamachi crudo, risotto, filet, and romano beans. Each and every dish was perfect. Service was excellent, personable, and calm. It's pricey (like all nice places in SF), but Prospect is one of the few places that is actually worth it. We'll definitely return!

    How do you “up the game” in a restaurant that is consistently excellent? Casually elegant with an innovative seasonal menu - every bite is a revelation. Add in the attentive service, great bar scene, with a dining room suitable to a romantic meal for two or an after-work business gathering - simply the best.
