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…

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

Nice Hang Out Place
by sallyvjj
I love the XYZ bar, the bartenders here are for sure lovely. Barry, Josh, Eric, Ann Marie are my favorite bartenders here. The small bites are good though. Calamari and french fries are things I want all the time here.

oily food, bad and unfriendly service
by ms_brightside
my husband and i went to the xyz restaurant for my birthday, and were very disappointed with pretty much everything! the waiter/somelier was sooo unfriendly! he didnt smile at us even once. seemed like he could hardly bear with us dining there.... the food sounded so good, but it tasted so oily and heavy ( we were happy not to order the 3-course menu), even my husband couldn't finish his dish. we tried to finish our dinner and move to the W bar as soon as we could. and the bar was perfect, both drinks and service!
- Pros: proximity to the W hotel bar!
- Cons: food and service

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.
