Editorial Review for Greens Restaurant – by Marke Bieschke
The Scene
Greens has long offered a classic San Francisco experience, mixing spectacular bay views with a casual mix of seasoned Marin socialites, tourists and green-minded locals, all dining on an upscale vegetarian menu of pan-global delights. Come for lunch or sit down before the sun sets to soak up the full beauty of the bay-and-headlands view.
The Food
It's worth braving the old waterfront warehouse to experience the fifth dimension of flavor that Executive Chef Annie Somerville coaxes from a braised tofu cube alone. Velvety yellow-squash risotto and taste bud-tingling yellow curry practically leap from their plates with flavor, and the spicy rattlesnake bean soup is a must. Signature dishes like eggplant lasagna, linguine with hot peppers and char-grilled veggie brochettes are popular. A changing seasonal menu guarantees even more succulent successes.

I remember Green's when it was unique, interesting, and there were always items on the menu that were fresh and exciting. That was then. I still go back periodically, but have been disappointed every time. It seems that Green's is coasting along, still bringing in customers, but not producing anything resembling cutting-edge dining. It's a shame. Without it's location, I'm guessing the restaurant wouldn't survive. Today, I found the menu to be dull, the food lackluster and bland, the service friendly but very spotty (I waited a long time for our server to check in after presenting entrees, which never happened, and finally flagged her down to ask her to add items listed for my entree on the menu but missing from the plate). Not particularly acceptable, especially given the prices. This mediocre experience was capped off by having a staff member ask us to vacate our table at 1 hour and 45 minutes, as we were preparing to leave anyway (notably there were a number of empty tables and there were only a few people waiting - the request was a mystery). Overall, my 3-star rating feels like a bit of a gift. Green's has done, and can do, much better.

Excellent food, service, and ambience. Long wait usually, I wish they had longer hours. One of my favorites though.
Pros: view, ambience, food, service
Cons: busy, price is high
