Overrated Burger, Nothing Special
My experience at Causwells was underwhelming. I read reviews that listed their hamburger as one of the top burgers in SF, but I found it to be nothing special for a $20. 00 burger. It was definitely overrated.

Good Food, Cramped Space
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was good, and our server was very nice, even though we were obviously tourists. However, the restaurant is rather cramped, which is not unusual for this city.

Best Espresso Martini Ever!
My experience at Causwells was exceptional, largely thanks to Byron, who made the best espresso martini I’ve ever tasted in my life! 🍸 Causwells is officially #1 on my list.

Great GF Options and Delicious Burger!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic, especially for someone with gluten-free or celiac needs. They are super good and knowledgeable on cross contamination. The gf burger is delicious!

Exceptional Burgers, Pasta, and Cocktails!
My experience at Causwells was truly amazing! I started with the Americana burger, which was a wonderful, elevated American-style burger. The garnish was crisp and fresh, with parsley in the lettuce mix that perfectly complemented the gamier meat, adding a brightness I didn't know I was missing. For a nostalgic crunch, the crispy onion strings are a must-try, reminiscent of childhood Funyuns. The Bigoli pasta was exactly what I was looking for; it was creamy without being overly buttery and perfectly cooked. The sautéed mushrooms were so savory and filling that I almost forgot there was no meat. The ceviche and octopus starter were also amazing, with the octopus featuring a perfectly spicy tomato sauce that was phenomenal. The cocktail program here is out of this world, arguably the best in the Bay Area. The Open Sesame cocktail was a great pairing with the light ceviche and octopus, engaging all senses with its aesthetic, taste, texture, and smell. The baklava old fashion was equally impressive, a smooth blend of spirit-forward whiskey with a toasted pistachio rim and a subtle sweet base. Our server and bartender, Byron, enhanced the experience by sharing his knowledge and background on the cocktail creations and even offered samplers of other drinks we ended up loving. We were thrilled to find Causwells and eagerly look forward to returning!

Great solo bite with delicious salmon bites!
My experience at the restaurant was great! I was solo traveling and popped in for a quick bite. I absolutely loved the pretzel salmon bites – they were delicious! The vibes were cute, and the overall atmosphere was a 5/5. Service was also a perfect 5/5, and the food received a 5/5 rating. It was a quick and enjoyable stop.

Incredible Food, Cocktails, and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I was amazed by the fresh local ingredients used in their dishes. The stone fruit Brussels and the cucumber dish were absolutely incredible. The burger is definitely top-tier in San Francisco. Our server, Sev, did a great job taking care of us and truly made the experience memorable. The craft cocktails were also incredible!

Sunny Sidewalk Lunch Delight
What's better than lunch on the sidewalk in the marina on a sunny day? Not much. The burger was good, and my offspring loved the ricotta. The atmosphere was rated a 4, and service was also a 4. The food received a perfect 5. It was a quiet meal, easy to talk, and the meal type was lunch.

Excellent Service and Delicious Fries!
My experience at the restaurant was excellent, largely thanks to our server, Sev. The food was served in a timely manner and was absolutely scrumptious. I particularly enjoyed the fries, which are some of the best I've had in San Francisco.
