    Both our dishes were cooked perfectly and the accompanying mashed potatoes on my dish were delicious. The rice on his plate and veggies were delicious. Tadich's is noisy and frenetic, so be prepared for that. I thought the charge for refills of soft drinks was a little gouging, especially since the glass was quite small. The bread pudding with the caramel bourbon sauce was out of this world tasty.

    This has always been my favorite SF restaurant. I was very disappointed in this visit. We didn’t even finish our plates. I’m not sure what is going on there. Not sure I’ll be returning for awhile.

    Great iconic SF restaurant! Always a pleasure to dine there. Best Cioppino on the West Coast too! I’ve been enjoying the restaurant for over 40 years. Consistently excellent in food, service and hospitality. David K Juneau, Alaska
