Editorial Review for One Market Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
The floor-to-ceiling windows at this corner restaurant offer a wonderful view of the Ferry Building and Bay Bridge. Inside, the look is corporate--buffed and polished, with well-spaced tables, high ceilings and a gently tinkling piano in the background. The crowd is mostly Financial District businesspeople. Subtle details lend a refined touch to the California cuisine at this swank eatery.

WHILE VACATIONING FROM MASSACHUSETTS, MY WIFE AND I DINED HERE AFTER READING GREAT REVIEWS AND HEARING THE SAME FROM HOTEL STAFF. MENU SELECTION WAS LIMITED AT BEST, AND THE ALA CARTE SECTION WAS DOWNRIGHT LAUGHABLE. MY WIFE ORDERED PORK SHORTRIBS, WHATEVER THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE (I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT, AND NEITHER HAVE ANY CHEF FRIENDS I HAVE ) WHICH CONSISTED OF THREE RIB BONES WITH LOTS OF FAT AND A DISGUSTING SAUCE. I ORDERED GUINEA FOWL WHICH CONSISTED OF ONE (SIC) LEG AND THREE SLICES OF BREAST MEAT, ACCOMPANIED BY THREE EXOTIC MUSHROOMS EMBEDDED IN CORN PUREE, WITH FOIE GRAS REDUCTION SAUCE (RIGHT). NEITHER OF OUR ENTREES WOULD HAVE FED A SIX YEAR OLD. WE PASSED ON THE ALA CARTE SIDE WHICH WERE EIGHT DOLLARS EACH; THEY INCLUDED GRILLED POTATO, ONE GLAZED CARROT, AND ANOTHER VEG THAT I CAN'T RECALL. SERVICE WAS FINE, EVERYONE POLITE AND COMPETENT. THE OVERALL ATMOSPHERE WAS OK BUT THE NOISE LEVEL WAS EXTREMELY DISTURBING. WE ALSO WERE SERVED ONE PIECE OF BREAD BY A SPECIFIC BREAD SERVER; HE NEVER CAME BACK. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS WAS A MOST UNSATISFACTORY EXPERIENCE. THE FOOD WAS TOO SKIMPY, FAIR AT BEST, AND WAY TO EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT WE RECEIVED.

Pros: NONE

Cons: PRICE, QUANTITY

The restaurant atmosphere is nice - nothing too great, but a cool view of the Ferry Building, and that's where the only "good" part of this restaurant stops. The soup my wife had was awful - she said it tasted like chicken broth with bits of chicken from KFC in it. My crab salad was OK, but there was WAY too much dressing on it, like a thick yellow mayonnaise/hollandaise sauce on it - completely ruining the great crab taste it was supposed to have. We split a main dish (after our horrible appetizer experience) - the halibut. It honestly tasted like soap: if it weren't for the mashed potatoes, we would have honestly only taken one bite. We had to eat them at the same time, dipping the fish in the potatoes. The dessert was average, but I would've rather had an ice cream cone. Ok - there you have it. Our experience sucked. One of my good friends lives in San Fran and said "why did you go there? It's only for business lunches!" Well, after the fact, the only reason I would take anyone there for business is if I wanted to LOSE the business!
