In Short
This popular cafe features a zinc-topped bar, sidewalk tables and a selection of French newspapers. Starters include cafe au lait in a large bowl, nicoise salad and a boat of french fries. Entrees run the gamut, from grilled steak with golden pommes frites to a savory boudin noir sausage paired with sauteed apples. A Moroccan-spiced duck leg over couscous also stands out.

I love South Park, the area, in general. The park itself is nice with a ton of trees and it offers a bit of an escape from the busy downtown streets. South Park Cafe is one of the many great restaurants in this inlet. It's definitely a little pricey, but the food is excellent, the portions are somewhat generous and the atmosphere is nice. I have had the mussels, the croque monsieur and the ahi tuna salad. All three were excellent. Be prepared if you go with the croque monsieur, that it is enormous.

My husband and I came upon South Park Cafe a few weeks ago after having a drink at another restaurant in the neighborhood. We walked in and the only tables available were right by the entry door- we took the table understanding we didn't have reservations so no big deal. Our server also pointed out that there was a space heater not too far from the table- didn't help much on that chilly night but he pointed it out. While we were going over the menu a few tables were clearing out so we asked if we could possibly move to one not so close to the door but we were told they were reserved. OK, fine we live in SF and dine at many establishments so we understood- though he was clearly annoyed we asked. We then mentioned our table was rather wobbly so asked if something could be placed under the table to make it more stable and the server rudely said "You just have to move the table around 'til you find the right spot" and they did not offer to help us move it around to find the right spot. That was the last straw and we left. There are way too many fabulous places to dine in SF and we were not going to patron this place. As I mentioned my husband and I live in SF and we dine out 2-3 times a week, $-$$$ restaurants and have never experienced a server that was clearly annoyed w/ us and so unhelpful. We consider ourselves very understanding and kind diners and because of that we've never received bad service from any server until this particular evening. Again, I can't comment on the food because it wasn't worth staying after we were left feeling unwelcome but honestly it didn't look that great anyway. We ended up going to Local Kitchen where the service was great and the food was simple and yummy!

Save your receipt and check your credit card statement!! I went there for lunch with a couple of coworkers. We had a decent meal, got our credit card receipts, tipped the waiter, signed off on the receipts and left. Later, when we checked our credit card statement, we noticed that the charges on our credit cards were higher than what we have originally signed off for. We proceeded by calling the restaurant, to which they offered no solution, but simply to call our bank to clarify. We all use different banks, and it happened to all of us, and they simply called it a bank error. BE CAREFUL! DON'T LET THEM SCAM YOU AND CHARGE YOU EXTRA WITHOUT YOU KNOWING IT!!
