Tartine Manufactory San Francisco

We made a reservation for Valentine’s Day for a party of 5. We were notified in advance that it would be a required set menu. I had been to tartine before and got everyone onboard promising great food and a warm atmosphere. The five course menu left a lot to be desired. The courses took an absurdly long time be served (this meal lasted 3 hours) and not by choice. We were waiting for 20+ minutes in between each course after plates had been cleared. We only wanted one bottle of wine we’re really just sitting with nothing in front of us. The portions were small, and by the time dessert rolled around at 11pm they had run out of the only non-chocolate dessert option. It was a huge and expansive disappointment to bring out of town guests.

My friend and I had the Strim tasting menu and were blown away. Our server was attentive and very nice, managed to give us recommendations. The tasting menu was refreshing and very delicious. I would come back for dinner!

Wonderful experience...AGAIN!! Warm and professional greeting at the door. Our guest had already arrived and was greeted and seated immediately.We had a chance to see our previous server,Jake . This time we had Emily , she was kind but not fussy. She had great suggestions and along with Clay who is ALWAYS fun and very informative, helped us make delicious food and wine choices. The amazing bean dish with pork neck, my new favorite! We discovered that the amazing pasta dish derived it's tang from starter used to make pasta with house made sausage. Delightful! Brilliant, we'll be back soon!!

We were eating with a group and not informed that they were operating with a pricey fixed menu either when making the booking or on the website. As a result were not allowed to order off the normal menu and were treated poorly when asking to do so.

I went for their annual pizza night, and naturally the masters of bread in San Francisco make a delicious sourdough italian style pizza crust. It was delicious, the drinks were great, and it was a delight. I have been for their normal, fancier-fare dinner and this was a great balance of a casual setting with above and beyond flavors. I'll be keeping my eye out for the next time they do this!
