Phenomenal Food and Views
My experience at this restaurant was truly phenomenal. The food was unique and fantastic, and the atmosphere was wonderful, especially with the views of downtown San Francisco from the rooftop. The service was also great. I highly recommend this place!

Great Martini and Atmosphere!
My experience at the restaurant was primarily centered around enjoying a fantastic Martini. While I can't comment on the food, the staff were notably friendly and helpful. The balcony provided a great atmosphere for catching up with friends.

Rude Service Ruined Late-Night Dinner
My experience at Chotto Matte was disappointing due to the rude receptionist and a sudden change in policy. We usually visit for a late-night dinner, arriving around 23: 00 or 23: 15, as the restaurant states it closes at midnight. However, last night, at 23: 15, we were told the kitchen was already closed. We were offered drinks at the bar, but no food. There was no explanation for this change, only a receptionist who seemed eager to get rid of us. Consequently, we left and opted for room service instead. It’s a shame because the restaurant’s proximity to our hotel is convenient, but this unexplained policy change and poor service made for a negative experience.

Great Vibes and Food in Union Square
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's a must-go for anyone in Union Square, SF, offering a great combination of food, happy hour, music, and good vibes. The atmosphere was rated a perfect 5, and the food also received a 5-star rating. Service was strong with a score of 4. Reservations are not required, and the price per person is $100+. It's suitable for all group sizes and perfect for dinner.

Disappointing Birthday Dinner Experience
😪 So disappointed by our meal tonight. I had been looking forward to this special dinner for my boyfriend's 30th birthday for weeks and was set on it being an incredible Japanese experience from what it looked like online. I was ready to spend $$$$ on some incredible unforgettable food, but we both were unfortunately so bummed with our meals (besides the truffle lobster bites - those were AMAZING) that we left pretty promptly after our dinner. On top of this, we asked for 2 miso soups and never received them, our meal came out in such a strange order that he was eating while I wasn't and just sat there waiting for my food to arrive. The timing was just off. The sashimi was truly not up to standard for what it's priced at, some of it being inedible. I felt terrible for taking my boyfriend somewhere that wasn't enjoyable or even the slightest bit tasty for his big day, I wish I could have saved the money and spent it on something a little more worth it because for $400 I really did expect something great.

Beautiful Presentation, Attentive Service
My experience at this restaurant was exceptional. I ordered the Wagyu Aburi Sashimi, Chuleta De Cordero Ahumada, and finished with the Passion Fruit Crème Brûlée. Every dish was beautifully presented, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. The ambiance struck a perfect balance between modern and intimate. I highly recommend this establishment.

Great Food, Vibes, But Very Pricey
My experience at this restaurant was marked by good food and good vibes. The atmosphere was a definite plus, contributing to an enjoyable evening. However, the price was a significant drawback. On two separate occasions with friends, my personal bill easily exceeded $100 each time.

Amazing Private Dinner Experience!
We hosted a private dinner at this restaurant and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The vibe was great, and the food was incredible. We were so thankful to the team for organizing the most cozy private room for our team to gather.

Amazing View & Fusion Flavors
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The amazing view from the terrace is a must-see, so definitely try to get a table there if you can. The food offered a perfect fusion of Asian and Peruvian flavors. While the dishes were on the smaller side, this allowed us to try more of everything, which was a great way to experience the menu. The service was also excellent; from the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly kind and the waiters were exceptionally friendly. I highly recommend this place!
