Great Vibe, Delicious Food!
I came here for dinner and had such a great experience! The service was amazing, super friendly and attentive. The menu was a little limited, but everything we ordered was delicious. The music, ambiance, and drinks were all on point, definitely the perfect vibe for a relaxing night out.

Undercooked and Overcooked Food
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The food was below average, with the eggs being undercooked and the potatoes overcooked. I really do not recommend it.

Unforgettable Night for All the Wrong Reasons
My date and I had an experience that was definitely a night to remember, but not in a good way. The view was beautiful, but that was the only positive aspect. The drinks were not the best, and the food was bland; everything looked pretty but lacked flavor. The highlight of the dinner was waiting for the check. We waited so long that we both ended up going to the bathroom around the same time. While I was waiting for my date, I saw that the couple next to us had moved to our table. They had cleaned off our table and seated someone else, even though we hadn't received our check and items were still being cleared from our table throughout the meal. This interaction with the couple left me "OVER IT. " When I finally found our server, he claimed he thought we were done and was looking for us, despite the fact that we had been waiting over 30 minutes for the check. It's unbelievable he assumed we left when he was still printing the bill. Our bill was almost $300, so cost was not a factor in the poor service. It was truly an unforgettable night.

Horrible Service, Not Worth the Price
My experience at this restaurant was horrible. The service was exceptionally poor, with no one offering drink refills. We had to practically force our waiter to bring the bill after asking three times. Considering how expensive the meal was, it was far from worth it. I would advise looking elsewhere.

Beautiful Views, Dirty Bathrooms
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The views and the place were very beautiful, offering a lovely setting. However, the service was just okay, and the bathrooms were extremely dirty. On the positive side, the food was excellent, rated a 5 out of 5.

Disappointing Experience, Mediocre Food
My experience at this restaurant was largely disappointing, primarily due to an unpleasant interaction with the manager. While he did attempt to be pleasant after being called out for his inappropriate comments, it was too little, too late. I had high hopes for this place, but it fell short. Beyond the poor service interaction, the food was mediocre for the price. If you're visiting SF, I recommend trying somewhere else and not wasting your time.

Great View, Good Option
My experience at Shelby's was positive, especially the great view. I suggest a rooftop experience in San Francisco, and Shelby's is a good option! The atmosphere was rated a 5, and the food and service both received a 4. The noise level was moderate.

Rude Hostess Ruined the Experience
My friend and I were really disappointed with the service we received upon arriving at this restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the hostess was surprisingly rude and dismissive. We simply asked if there was an option for outdoor seating, but instead of politely letting us know the situation, she acted as though our request was an inconvenience. Her tone was curt, and her attitude immediately set a negative tone for the rest of our visit. I sincerely hope management addresses this, because no guest should feel like a burden just for requesting a table preference.

Great Views, Restaurant Vibe
Le Shelby's Rooftop offers a superb view of San Francisco, but beware, there's a small catch! It's actually located on the top floor of the Hilton hotel (you just need to know that). If you're looking for a lively bar, you might be a bit disappointed, as the place is more of a restaurant with a view. That said, if you simply want to have a drink or dine in an exceptional setting, it's the perfect spot. One last tip: don't forget to bring a jacket. It can get cool in the evening on the rooftop terrace!
