Not what they were
Third, and last, visit. They are just coasting with little passion or innovation. Servers rushed with scripted descriptions and limited interactions. Flat champagne, replaced on request. Mediocre pairings especially reserve. Den dessert overloaded with sweet wines and two way too sweet desserts. Fading glory.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing and delightful splurge! Get reservations in advance!
One of the best meals of my life. The food is amazing and delightful! It's such a fun experience and every bite was delectable. The chef came out and explained every dish so you know exactly what you're eating and waht makes it special. Can't wait to go back! I think it's rare they have walk-ins so I'd make a reservation in advance.
Be the first to ReplyAn amazing experience, worth every penny
Lazy Bear nailed it from the moment you step inside. The food and presentation was phenomenal, as was the service and overall experience. So good I'm going back with family this month :)
Be the first to ReplyAn amazing dining experience, fantastic food and wine, with a beautiful team
I consider it a priviliege to have had a private dining event at Lazy Bear. From the moment we sat down at the communal table, with the open kitchen next to us, and had the introduction of the story of the restaurant, we knew we in for an amazing journey. Each dish was paired with a different wine, and we were given the story behind both, before enjoying the amazing flavours in front of us. The team were so friendly, knowledgeable and took the time to get to know us and were part of the evening. I took no photos as I was totally engaged with the event, and after finishing each course, your mind and conversation was totally taken with discussing the flavours and what would come next. I will definately return at some point, and it will live long in the memory. Thank you.
Be the first to ReplyBest taster menu we have ever had! What a way to celebrate a birthday 🥳
The most amazing food I have ever tasted! The lamb chop and rib….wow and the tomato! It’s basically ruined me ever eating a supermarket tomato again! So much passion, care, attention to detail. Loved the presentation, the small details, the breakfast gift, the interaction with ALL the staff… not one weak link, amazing place, experience, a special occasion to celebrate my husbands birthday that we will never forget, thank you so much lazy bear!!
Be the first to ReplyA Speedy Dinner Service Is Certainly NOT the Way to Enjoy Michelin Quality Cuisine
I’m glad I went! I thoroughly enjoyed the creative, innovative, and tasty food and the spot-on drinks pairing. However, the speed at which they dropped off the courses along with the speedy delivery of the accompanying explanation (of both food and drinks) left both of us with a less than stellar impression of the Lazy Bear. This is not a food issue because as I mentioned it was worthy of the star and each course quite delicious. I think our most memorable portion of the experience was the after-dinner drinks in the den with desserts (a worthy upcharge over the standard tasting menu). There at least we were allowed to relax, take our time and enjoy the combination of desserts with a trio of Chateau D’Yquem dessert wines.
Be the first to ReplyDelightful food and experience!
Absolutely delightful. Every dish was well described and sooo delish 😃 innovative culinary experience in presentation and preparation. Highly recommend! One of my favorite Michelin experiences and worth the money.
Be the first to ReplyMore than a dinner
Loved it. Our second time and liked it even more than before! Highly expensive but more than “just food” it is a learning experience. Staff did their best through masks and need to hurry between distanced patrons and were fairly effective. We actually enjoyed being inside an were fortunate to be at the kitchen end of the table. Loved the birthday card rather than a yucky dessert. My only slight criticism, sommelier encouraged us both to upscale the wine pairings for an additional cost and I wish we’d stuck to our original plan of having just one of us do so to increase the number of tastings. But other than that slight quibble we give you rave reviews. It was a dinner for the record books and the second time around we were familiar enough to maximize the experience even more. Hurray for Lazy Bear!
Pssst - Lazy Bear, how about giving us return customers a secret option to book one day earlier than the general public???
Better than ever!
Lazy Bear is an absolutely phenomenal restaurant where the creativity of its dishes really surpasses anything else in SF.
Due to COVID, the restaurant was set up with multiple tables versus the one, long table the restaurant is known for. We
Teamwork always wins
An amazing job of providing a Michelin star dining experience while keeping it fun.
There were several things that were so impressive.
First of all was the staff. We had a seat on the balcony which gave us an overhead view of the kitchen and most of the restaurant. It was amazing to watch the choreography of the staff. From our fantastic waiter Daniel, who was obviously a sommelier in disguise to the many staff members who not only delivered each dish but gave a complete explanation including origins of the products, you were left with the feeling you weren't just eating a dish, you were partaking in the process. Nobody was rushed, any questions were answered.
Do the wine pairing, it's amazing!
One thing I loved was there are no "supplements" or "upcharges" for food. Our meal included Caviar and A5 Wagyu beef. In any other place I have been that would have been extra. It always leaving me feeling like I have to pay extra to get your best product. Very impressive
I wanted to pick out a couple of dishes to highlight but it's very difficult, everything from the soft shelled crab, a personal favorite of mine to the incredible wagyu, the strawberry dessert to..... you get the idea.
They give you a "field guide" and a pencil to write down tasting notes. My wife, who has a masters in reading, commented "there simply aren't enough words in the english language to describe amazing"
Note for the kitchen, particularly Taylor at the pass- I did use salt on the first tea dish but I didn't touch it again!
They send you home with breakfast for the next morning! I'm eating mine as I write this and what a fun idea. It really brings back the memories. One suggestion for those of us in hotels- a little plastic spoon would be really handy.
Fantastic experience, the Lazy Bear is a meal on par with any fine dining establishment in the world, particularly if you like to add interaction and fun to your experience.
Great for a Birthday, or any other Celebration
Went with our son to celebrate wife's birthday. This was a wonderful experience. Would put this right up there with Saison and Angler as one of the best dining experiences in San Fran. The tasting menu was excellent, would also recommend the accompanying wine menu for the meal. And it all ended on the most exquisite note, a deconstructed key lime pie dessert which was fabulous.
Be the first to ReplyFavorite in San Francisco; best birthday dinner!
This is an amazingly creative restaurant that is one of my favorites. Over many years, I’ve had the fortune of enjoying the French Laundry, Per Se, Daniel, Eleven Madison Park,
l'atelier de joël robuchon, Guy Savoy, etc. I liked this one the most, along with Alinea. That’s because both Lazy Bear and Alinea deviate from the standard formula of those listed above. They are more theatrical and social. Lazy Bear was particularly interesting because everyone starts off in an upstairs space, where you are free to socialize with other patrons. After having a few courses in a cocktail party setting, you go downstairs and dine at one of two large communal tables. Each chef in the kitchen comes out and introduces a dish that all guests are served at approximately the same time. It really is a creative, social, amazing experience. It’s a great place to celebrate. I celebrated my birthday there and had a blast. Definitely do the wine pairings if you like wine! They had generous and creative pours.
Unique Tasting Menu Experience
If you want to kick off a trip to the Bay area with a bang, this is the place to go. The 8:30 seating, the later of two, began in the modern rustic mezzanine in a dinner party atmosphere with the first 5 of 17 courses served as canapes paired with plum punch and champagne. Most of the guests quickly warmed to the company of strangers, some on first dates, others celebrating special occasions, some with friends, others solo. The crowd of approximately 50 people varied in interests and formality but all had one thing in common ~ a love of exquisitely prepared, delicious food.
As we watched the buzz and new-found camaraderie of the first seating below dissipate with grins that shone of culinary delight, our anticipation of what to come grew. Once the 2 long tables forming the audience of an open kitchen were cleared, we were invited to our reserved seats and given a date stamped 'field guide' detailing our courses with space to take notes.
The Michelin-Starred performance that ensued was a work of art. Keeping an energetic but appropriate pace, the dishes were served to each table simultaneously with a different chef explaining each one to the crowd as it came out. We were advised to start as each one arrived, without delay, as the respective chef spoke. This contributed to the easy yet fashionably sophisticated ambiance and allowed for the flow of both food and conversation to take a natural, relaxed style.
Our favourites included the following.
His: 1) Sungolds including summer squash, nasturtium, cape gooseberry with aromatic herbs and leaves 2) Melons with lime verbena, lemon balm, avocado and purslane 3) Barbecued rack of lamb with shelling beans, shishito, lambs tongue heirloom tomato pie with horseradish.
Mine: 1) Chanterelle and goat cheese tart with Lisa's 'BoDacious', pickled nectaplum and sunflower 2) Fresh corn grits with Lazy Bear Butter and Australian winter truffle 3) Grilled fig with charred vanilla bean and fig leaf
The wine pairing is definitely recommended to make the most of this incredible experience. This is one cool place!
Birthday Dinner
My wife and I had dinner at Lazy Bear on a Friday night. When you arrive you're escorted upstairs and seated near other guests in a very intimate setting and encouraged to make friends. In San Francisco at a establishment like theirs - there's definitely something you're going to have in common with everyone and my wife and really liked the 7 or so people we were placed with. You have a few amuse-bouches (single bite appetizers) and any beverages you're paired with if you chose that option or a list of a la carte drinks. You are then escorted downstairs and seated next to new people - at first we were a little bummed we weren't seated next to our 'upstairs friends' but upon whispering my displeasure to my wife (seated across from me) the guy next to me said, "what are we, chopped liver." I apologized for my rudeness and we then made friends with the couple seated next us. The dinner is comprised of small plates, each explained by one of the chefs. There are 8 or so chefs in the working kitchen next to the tables and even more in another location. You're encouraged to talk tot hem and ask questions during service, although it's a little intimidating and I didn't see anyone do it. The plates were good, there were a few deserts. My wife and I did the reserve wine pairing, it was pretty good, although the desert wines and port was lost on us. It was a fun night, a good birthday, and they gave me a birthday card signed by every employee, that was a nice touch (no candle though :)

What a performance. This is definetely the new style in « fancy » dining. Relaxed atmosphere, relaxed but stylish service, absolute customer driven staff and management. All of the chefs did perform at their top, none of the dishes where average, they where all top and using local selected sourcing. I remember particularly the tartare of lamb, the tomato and the morel mushroom assemblage.
We had the reserve wine pairing and tasted some rare and fabulous wines. All of it was pricey but worth every dollar. Go now before they get their third Michelin star what will force them to increase the prices. Just pick up the phone, reserve your table and Go!
