Georgian Cheese Boat - Reviews

My experience at this nice casual place was great. I enjoyed their Georgian salad, khachapuri, and khinkali. I also think they have the best Napoleon in SF!

I was very disappointed with my experience. The khinkali were bland and almost empty inside. The chicken lacked salt, and the eggplants had no flavor or filling. Surprisingly, they didn't offer juice, only sugary sodas. For the price level, it's absolutely not worth it, especially since we came here hoping to enjoy a good meal.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover authentic Georgian food right here in San Francisco! I tried the famous Georgian cheeseboat (khachapuri), and it was absolutely fantastic — loaded with rich, gooey cheese and full of flavor. I paired it with a fresh Georgian-style salad, which was crisp, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. Everything I ordered was delicious and tasted truly authentic. On top of that, the customer service was outstanding — friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot worth coming back to!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the opportunity to watch my khinkali being made right in front of me, and it was my first time trying it. I am absolutely in love with it! I also enjoyed the veggie combo platter and some incredibly fresh, baked bread that was literally baked to order. I visited yesterday and am already planning to go back tonight before I leave San Francisco in the morning to have more.

I don't understand why this place has so many good opinions. We wanted to order kubdari, but it wasn't available. We ordered shkmeruli, and unfortunately, we couldn't change the bread to baked potatoes. The chicken in the shkmeruli was boiled, not fried as it's meant to be, and it wasn't flavored at all. We also ordered khinkali with cheese. The khinkali were cut down, not held by hand as they should be, and the cheese filling lacked any flavor, tasting like cottage cheese. Having experienced many Georgian restaurants globally, this was a misunderstanding of Georgian food. We left almost full plates and departed. It is not authentic Georgian food!

My experience at this restaurant was absolutely fantastic! ♥️♥️♥️😋😋😋 If you’re in San Francisco, you have to try this spot for authentic Georgian food. Everything on the menu is delicious — highly recommend!

My experience at this restaurant involved a late dinner on a holiday weekend with a party of six. The service was repetitively solid. We enjoyed the dolumas and the round shaped bread filled with melted cheese. It was a bummer they were out of the dumplings at that late hour. The atmosphere, especially sitting by the window and people-watching, was exceptional. While the prices are expensive as expected for San Francisco, I would definitely come again.

My experience at this restaurant was much worse than Bevri in Palo Alto. The Khachapuri wasn’t like you would have in Georgia. The chicken shkmeruli was good but light on meat. I’d avoid this place.

My experience at this restaurant was marked by a terrible law regarding khinkali orders. They stated that you can only order one khinkali for three people, which is not enough for three people. This policy is terrible!

My experience at the restaurant was a mix of great food and disappointing service. The food was very tasty, and it arrived quickly. However, I was unable to order more than one portion of Hinkali because they didn't have much in stock. The service was very cold, and we've experienced Georgian restaurants with a significantly better atmosphere. The atmosphere itself was rated a 3 out of 5, while the food received a 5 out of 5, but the service was a low 1 out of 5.
