What People Are Saying About XYZ

The Scene – The sophisticated, chic interior of this spacious hotel restaurant has been touched up with Carrara marble table tops, mid-century modern hanging lamps, and soft, taupe suede seating. Circular, high-backed booths cocoon couples in intimacy; long tables behind a low dividing wall can be arranged comfortably for large groups. Wood floors, streaming curtains from extraordinarily high ceilings, and windows with a view of Third Street give a wide-open feel. – – The Food – Fine dining here under chef Paul Piscopo includes a menu of crowd-pleasers sweetened (often…
Editor's Tips
- Where to Sit:
- The curvy, romantic booths here are winners for special dates.
- Parking:
- The neighborhood isn't particularly welcoming for stumbling home drunk in the wee hours. Get a taxi or room.
- Know Before You Go:
- The bar is closed on Sundays and Mondays, but the drink menu is available at the W Cafe.
- Look Good:
- Dress to impress here--though not as fashion-forward the bar, the restaurant still attracts a sophisticated crowd.
- What to Drink:
- Close proximity to the popular XYZ bar and nightclub means an array of specialty cocktails--but expect a wait for anything from the bar.
Comfortable bed, clean room

This is a nice little hotel. It is very clean and comfortable. The bed was fantastic; I had a good night's sleep. It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at SweetHotelDeals.us They usually have some pretty good deals on there!
Excellent Bar
by ptixt
I was thrilled because I've always wanted to check XYZ out and with no surprise, we had a grand time... As we arrived at the restaurant, I was given a long-stem rose for welcome... We were treated like "royals"... Besides the cool ambiance, the food and service are excellent.., our waiter that night, mentioned about the free-chocolates at the bar and oh boy, it was like heaven - what a great way to end our night at XYZ... Highly recommended!!!!
Hotel suprise
by deerbear
Had gone to this restaurant with a friend from out of town. Not so sure this was the place to empress, but its location was the best for the time we had. We were greeted fast by the host who got us a great booth, which I thought was the best table in the restaurant. The funny thing is that the restaurant was full and give any cash to inspire that. The waiter nice , his name was Brad or Brian and got us a great recomendation for wine from the wine buyer, who is also a waiter. The wine service was of a five star restaurant and did not make me feel uncomfortable or intimidated. The waiter explained the menu and offered other alternatives for my friend who had special needs. The food was great, freash and complimented with sauces and spices that I would not normaly think of. My favorit was the duck with the roasted veggies and my friend loved the tasting menue. I had the choclate granache cake and it was too small but rich enought to fill me up hundreds of calories(it was just enoght) The waiter was busy but met our needs and found time to chat with us and gave us a heads up. 50% OFF THE WINE LIST IN ALL OF AUGUST. Not kidding. Great wine list, oooh yeah we will be back. Had great company great service, food and wine. Thank you San Francisco.
- Pros: food, service, WINE
- Cons: the rooom looks used, like a 20 year old high end restaurant that need a renovation
Poor service
by melm413
This place is really nice, don't get me wrong, but the wait staff is so rude. They lost my friend's credit card and were completely unsympathetic about it. He never got it back. They also got mad at another person I came with, because they ordered food from the downstairs lounge and took it upstairs to eat. It?s the same place! Other than that, the drink specials were pretty decent and the atmosphere is gorgeous. I just hate when bartenders and waiters are cocky because they work in a nice place.
- Pros: Great atmosphere in a beautiful hotel.
- Cons: Crappy service and rude bar staff.
fun
by mattsteele
this is not my favorite place in the city - but I always end up having a great time here. It has a sort of snooty vibe to it but like I said - everyone ends up having a great night overall so i guess it's worth a visit to judge for yourself.
