Angler - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was a mix of delightful and disappointing. The service was amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect, both receiving a 5-star rating. I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious hot fried frog legs and the perfect Parker rolls with seaweed butter, contributing to a strong food score. However, the wagyu beef at $100 was definitely not worth the price, and I would opt for something else if I were to return. Overall, it's still worth a visit.

My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. I was hit with 26% MANDATORY tips on top of the already high cost for food that tasted like gas station sandwiches. Honestly, this place sucks. I would strongly advise going somewhere else.

This is a high-quality restaurant with unique choices. I spent some lovely time here last week. However, there is some room for improvement. Regarding the “cook for you” menu, more clarity is needed. Although I understand it is a chef’s choice that changes, it would be better and more on par with the Michelin rating if the server could explain the menu, even briefly mentioning what to expect. I feel there is a little lack of understanding on the service side. It took 2. 5 hours to go through 6 courses, which included a lot of wait time with nothing on the table. We sat down for 30 minutes and were only served with 2 raw oysters each. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend the “cook for you” menu as there seems to be an overall incoherence and inconsistency. Perhaps a la carte would be a better experience. The service was not very good, except for the last server who helped us.

I recently attended a business event at Angler and had a very positive experience. The food was excellent and offered a great variety. The staff were both friendly and knowledgeable, though we had some minor difficulty fully grasping the details of each dish—likely due to enjoying the well-crafted and tasty drinks. Overall, a great spot for an event.

My experience at this restaurant was pretty bad. The courses came out as we were eating the previous, which disrupted the flow of the meal. We were served rock fish, and a good amount of the other dishes weren't very good. The manager was nice and came by to take off a few of the dishes we didn't like from the charge using an a la carte calculation. Ironically, the total came out pretty close to the tasting menu cost anyway.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. The food was well cooked, and the cocktails were great. I was particularly impressed by the rice paper cracker with jam, which was stupendous. The wait staff was extremely attentive, and the main course was cooked to perfection.

My experience at Angler was a true treat! The seafood and meats were cooked to perfection, boasting bold, smoky flavors that truly stood out. I loved the creative and fun small plates, which were perfect for sharing. Every dish felt carefully prepared. The atmosphere was lively and stylish, making it an ideal spot for a special night out or a memorable dinner with friends.

I was at the restaurant for an event and, despite having gluten allergies, the staff was incredibly helpful in assisting me with my choices. The meatballs with a sauce were particularly memorable and were really, really good.

My experience at this restaurant was superb. I opted for their 'quick catch' menu, a delightful 3-course meal. To start, I enjoyed a couple of oysters, which were perfect and not overly portioned like in the US. The highlight of my meal was the sea bream served with a mixed green salad. While it came with a coconut/lemongrass sauce, I truly appreciated the simplicity and perfection of the crispy skin fish. A bit of lime or the vinaigrette from the lettuce was ideal for me. The service from Jorge and Angel was great. This has become a new favorite in SFO.

I recently celebrated my birthday here and had an absolutely epic time. The staff are all great and genuinely want you to relax and have fun. The restaurant isn't too crowded, creating a relaxed vibe. The food was also fun and surprising.
