WTH happened to this restaurant after COVID?!? The only times the waiter was actually attentive was giving me the bill. Thanks for ruining a perfectly good date night, since it's so hard refilling water or taking an order which took 30 min after sitting down won't be coming back soon I regret tipping at least the bussers were alert won't be coming back probably ever

Dinner is good here but the brunch was underwhelming and over priced. Paid 25 dollars for scrambled eggs with maybe 3 eggs. Insane even in today’s economy.

Pork chop was yummy and good sized. The vegetarian pasta dish was disappointingly small considering it cost almost as much as the pork chop. The service was great

Anchovies stuffed olives are great; oysters are quite fresh with a big selection. The duck breast is way too salty. I told the server, and she walked away ???? movie time starts after sunset.

We came in for a 530 reservation and I feel like this experience would have been better when the movie was actually playing. Next time we’ll have to try to get a later reservation! The food was really good but we wish we skipped the arugula salad. It was just okay. The duck and smoked salmon were amazing and the oysters were so good too. The vibe was a little off since it was still light out. Service was okay - our drinks took a long time but after that it was solid.

Remember going here when it first opened (and my hair was a very different color ????). Just as good now as it was then - you don't survive (and thrive) in as tough a market as San Francisco without having something.

It's a really nice place atmosphere wise. I was there in the evening for the movie screening. But overall it just acts as background noise, not really anything special. I was not really impressed with the food selections. It felt like I overpaid for such small portions and it didn't stand out either in terms of taste.

Had a wonderful late dinner at Foreign Cinema. The food was excellent, highly recommend to wine flight as it paired well with each course. Service was attentive but not overbearing and the venue is warm and inviting. I would definitely return.

The atmosphere, the food, the service… everything is top notch. Only thing is that it is very pricey for a small portion — but the food is so good that it is hard to complain.

Overrated. Mostly great for photos (their plates do look nice), but otherwise uninspired and decidedly average quality. Not worth the time - there are much better places that are less hyped.

Food was excellent and service was very good. The dining room got a little loud but wasn’t unpleasant. The fried egg was perfectly cooked and the Brandade was our favorite by far.

If you can eat the atmosphere, this place might be a 4/5. But the food is really god awful. Appetizers were pretty decent but the mains were sorely lacking. The ribeye was one of the worst steaks I’ve ever had: poor sear and full of gristle, I’ve had better steak on a cruise ship / Mexican all inclusive resort. The mahi mahi was one sad looking piece of fish; looked it was yanked right out of the Oakland Estuary. Food is a solid 1/5.

We were grateful to get a table as a walk in group of 5, though it seems they seat the walkins in a separate room than the charming and cozy main outdoor area under the tarped ceiling… so our section felt a bit more like we were eating in a museum and it was quite white and bright, but the food, particularly the appetizers, was fantastic! Definitely recommend trying to get seated in the main area if you want the real foreign cinema charm :)

The staff here are a delight! No complaints there.
The food would have been great anywhere else but at just over $300 for two people it was fine. Good if you are rich, not worth the time if you only have the money to treat yourself a couple of times a year! Honestly expected better from a bay area staple.

Get the dessert. The “birthday cake” chocolate cake was the highlight of my dinner. I would give this review 5 stars if we’re basing it off the dessert! The cookie trio was wonderful as well.

The food was alright, I ordered the miso-yam and it could have had more flavour and depth to the dish.

and my cocktail was delicious!

We had a private reservation in the projection room for my friend's birthday party, which was fun, but of course the projector was very loud—but that's pretty much my only complaint. The food was delicious, and the service was top notch! It's very expensive but I think you actually get what you pay for, fully worth the experience.

I had the smoked salmon for my first course and I will be thinking about it for weeks, absolutely fantastic. For the main course I got the coconut cauliflower masala which was very good, though could have used either more rice or less sauce but otherwise delicious. The chevre cheesecake was incredible, highly recommended.

There's no mention of it on the menu or the site but they were easily able to offer vegan options. That said the menu changes frequently so probably best to call ahead. The vegetable soup, and tagine were both excellent

Seems like some people have spotty service experience here! I did not experience that today, and the food and ambiance was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend. It’s a pricey dinner for a special occasion type place.

We went in for brunch on a cloudy day. They did have heaters on for outdoor seating. Food was good. Special mention for the ricotta, beets and carrots. Others had the champagne omlette and French toast and commented that was good as well.
