    Abrazo is an exception small room (its strength) dining experience. My family and I really want this beautiful little restaurant thrive and survive. I see the crowds are getting bigger all the time. This is a gratifying imprimatur of the quality of the establishment, food and team. Way to go Mike, Maggie, Amanda, Chef and all involved. LOVE THE BARTENDER. Total Pro.

    Walking into Abrazo on a blustery Thursday evening with old friends is delight. Warm and welcoming environment, great food (Sole, Steak tartare, Paella, Gem Lettuce) wine and impeccable service. Can’t beat this Russian Hill classic!

    The Gambas Al Ajillo spicy small plate was delicious as was the well-marinated boneless pork chop. My dining partner enjoyed the meal, but found the chicken croquetas to be a bit mushy and short on chicken and ham relative to the fried breading. The El Volcan mezcal was so good that we had a couple. And the Fresaflor tequila cocktail was both attractive and delicious according to my friend. We arrived early and the restaurant was full by the time we left at 8:00, unusual for a Tuesday. This was not our first visit as we live in the neighborhood. We appreciated the attentiveness of the staff even when they were otherwise busy. I don't like the separate 4% charge for the San Francisco mandates even though it is a relative common practice with restaurants in this town. Next time, my usual 20% waiter's tip will be 16%.

    We loved the white table cloths and candlelight, the soft music, varied small plates including great salad and meatballs, and friendly efficient service.

    Back at Abrazo and happy to be there. Three of us for dinner and we decided to graze on the small plate selections. Gem Lettuce, Roasted carrots, Shrimp/Gambas, Chicken Croquettes, Grilled Calamari and the fabulous olive bread. Topped off with some crisp Chardonnay and a very nice Mendoza Malbec. Unobtrusive but friendly service and a bit of philosophy from owner Mike. Perfect evening on a cool Tuesday in Russian Hill.

    Everything in this neighborhood gem is a treat. The menu offers a great array of dishes, both smaller tapas style and larger entrees. The half chicken was delicious. Shared appetizers were excellent. Service is perfect. I highly recommend Abrazo.
