The Progress - Reviews

My best restaurant experience while visiting San Francisco. It wasn't wildly loud like most places, and reservations are likely necessary. The food is unique and fantastic! Don't hesitate to go!

My first time trying Californian food was an amazing experience! Although we didn't have a reservation, we were seated at the bar. The bartender was incredibly nice and attentive, and the cocktails were superb. All the food we ordered was stunning; I was absolutely shocked by the taste and preparation. I'm definitely coming back to explore the rest of the menu.

This restaurant is always a family favorite! Everything I’ve tried here is delicious. If you’re hungry, don’t miss the duck. And I can’t leave without a glass of peanut milk.

Our evening was delightful, marked by 20 pieces of silverware. The cucumber dish and quail eggs were excellent and truly stood out. However, the Halibut dish and the Tofu were underwhelming, with similar flavors to other dishes and just didn't taste right. Thankfully, dessert saved the night and was delicious! As a top critic, I rate the taste of this restaurant a 3 out of 5. The decor and ambiance were fantastic.

My experience at this restaurant was marred by the waitstaff. The waitresses/servers ruined my experience here. She tried to prematurely take my food and drinks away twice and kept ignoring us. The food was great tho, but I should’ve listened to the other reviews that the servers here are all insanely rude and entitled. A Michelin star doesn’t mean you get to treat us like this!

It was really good! We went for a birthday and ordered quite a few plates to split. My favorites were the summer berry and fromage blanc toast (vegetarian), the wood-roasted Alaskan halibut, and the passion fruit soufflé. We also ordered the potato caviar cloud, which was really tasty, but the best part about it was the little spoons that they gave us to eat it with. I literally ate every dish with that little spoon on a bet from my dad. The noodles were a little difficult to eat with the tiny spoon, but I made fifteen dollars! The waiter also found it amusing and would cheer me on when they walked by our table and saw me trying to cut and eat toast with a mini utensil. Really great vibe, 10/10!

My experience at The Progress was a flavor-packed adventure! The small plates were incredibly creative and perfect for sharing. Every dish was a delightful surprise. The vibe was lively and fun, making it a great choice for a memorable night out.

My experience at this restaurant was a cool experience with next-level flavors. Everything is made to share, offering a creative yet unpretentious culinary journey. I loved the family-style vibe, which was executed in a chic way. It's a perfect spot for a fun dinner with friends or a foodie date night. I'm definitely coming back for round two!

My experience at this restaurant was generally positive, with food that was very good, though it didn't quite blow me away. The seaweed butter noodles were a particular highlight, and I found their sauces to be very tasty across all dishes. However, the atmosphere was impacted by the close proximity of other diners, making it difficult to have an intimate dinner. The desserts were just okay. I would come again to explore more of their menu.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! Every dish was interesting, plated beautifully, and incredibly delicious. The environment was relaxed yet upscale, lively but not overly loud. I sat at the bar and received excellent service; the bartender was very helpful, guiding me through the menu and ensuring all my needs were met. It truly made for a great evening.
