Opinions TADICH GRILL San Francisco

Amazing Cioppino. Wish they would warm up the bread

Wonderful food, great service, lovely atmosphere.

Our waiter Jamal
was excellent. Great service

I have been to this place for almost 20 years now halibut Florentine with veggies au gratin is good but don't expect a large piece of fish as it used to be. lots of cheese as part of the gratin more than anything. Veggies are very few also. went for lunch on a sunny day but it was cold inside.

Expensive, but very nice. The portions are hughe...

Classic SF restaurant, Jose & Zenetta are the best. Cioppino and clam chowder are the best in the city hands down. Congrats on 175 years!

Cozy and bustling at the same time. Salmon was cooked just the way I love it.

Superb Food, Service and Setting!

We were recommended to try this restaurant. The food was okay. For me, the fish didn’t have seasoning just grilled. Not the best but no the worse! It might be the type of food we try on today!

It's a timeless classic.

Can't go wrong here it's always excellent

Best crab Louis and best cioppino!

Alexis was phenomenal! I sat front of house at the bar and experienced his pure professionalism. He was genuine, efficient and made remarkable cocktails. Would recommend!

Always great service and food. I like sitting at the bar for fast service.

I was with friends. Great food, great service. I will go back again.

A unique dining experience and always a must destination when we visit San Francisco from Dallas, TX.

Update: I sent an email to the restaurant's info@ email address and their facebook page with details about our experience.

Tonight (2/28/24) our party had a terrible experience with this restaurant's manager (not our server Fabian who was an absolute gift) for a dinner which our organization had reserved well in advance. Our 154-yr-old non-profit organization's original reservation was made on 2/21 for a table for 10. Although we had originally reserved for a count of 10, we had confirmed twice beforehand with the reservation team that we could still have space for 10 even if fewer people arrived, because we knew that our guests might be slightly late and we were willing to pay for no-shows so that we could have enough space in a quiet booth room. The reservation team confirmed ahead of time that this would be fine. However, when only 6 of our guests had arrived by the designated time of 7:00, the manager insisted that we be assigned to a table for 6 at the loudest table next to the kitchen. The 7th confirmed guest (a pediatric NICU nurse late for her elevator) and 8th confirmed guest (an 80-year old retiree who took BART from Richmond) arrived 5-10ish min late. We asked for some accommodation for our extra guests and yet still we were belligerently denied the original table reserved for us weeks beforehand.

And so, from 7-9:30pm we 8 guests sat at a table for 6, while the 4 additional empty chairs originally reserved for us remained empty and within our view, generating $0.00 revenue for the rest of the evening.

Nevertheless, being the species of guests who can and will persevere optimistically, we persisted and pressed our knees together (despite being mostly strangers) and made the best of the ridiculous circumstances avariciously allocated to us by the haughtily oblivious manager on duty.

***Our spirit of camaraderie was aided by the compassionate sympathy of our attuned, situationally-aware, and tactful server Fabian, whom we tipped well.***

Afterwards, the 3 women who were collectively responsible for providing OUR GUESTS with a positive experience (one of whom was me) asked for a sincere apology or even a contrite acknowledgement from the manager.

He denied any accountability whatsoever and we were subsequently and shockingly dismissed from the premises for being too loud and opinionated.

I jest not.

And therefore, if you plan for anything at all, I recommend that you plan for a more accommodating venue. There are several nearby.

I have loved Tadich for years. Always excellent.

I would give 10 stars for service if possible - now that it’s possible to make reservations at Tadich Grill I will look forward to dining again!

A San Francisco institution. But just because a restaurant has been around forever, that doesn't mean it's good food. Dishes here are fine, unremarkable, uninspiring. And they're probably the same as what people were eating here ten, twenty, or fifty years ago. Try it for that nostalgia, but don't expect much more.

The restaurant's service and atmosphere were great, but the food was average

Walking into Tadich Grill is an interesting thing. On one hand, it has the layout of an old diner. On the other hand, servers are in white jackets and the place evokes class. We started with a cocktail while waiting for our table. Once seated, we were taken care of. Prompt service, water glasses filled, questions asked/answered. We started with a smoked salmon appetizer, devoured a ribeye and a whole branzino and ended with a decadent bread pudding. By the way, love the potatoes! We walked out discussing our meal and never once said we wished something was better or different. We will definitely be back.

As soon as we enter the restaurant, you encounter a very bad smell, a really bad smell, as if there was a dead person. We sat at our table and placed our orders, at least because it was the first restaurant in the area. I was hoping the food would be delicious but the food is also very bad. It was both very smelly and a bad experience. I do not recommend. Note: If there is a strong bad smell somewhere, there are bacteria there.

A must stop on any SF trip. One of the only true old time places left. Nobody does oysters like them! And their drinks are not watered down. A real martini!

Great slice from the past....with very much today's pricing.
Great food.

De passage à San Francisco, on a fait une petite pause chez Tadich Grill. Leur cuisine nous a bien plu. Tellement savoureuse.
