Editorial Review for Hyde Street Bistro – by Karen Solomon

The Scene
Fetching terra cotta accents, flattering lighting, and crisp white table linens paint the picture of a classical European dining experience. Upscale Russian Hill residents--young and old, but most decidedly moneyed--return again and again for the bliss of Continental elegance paired with a bottle of wine.

The Food
The menu changes weekly, but the craving for classic French cuisine will be satisfied with standards such as plump steamed mussels doused in crushed garlic and white wine, and a velvety sweet foie gras paired with prunes and buttered baguette toasts. For entrees, the classic coq au vin, paired with fettuccine, is dark and brothy, and a variation on Beef Wellington is done with salmon in a crust of black truffles and pastry dough.

Went to Hyde Street Bistro for dinner on a sunday night while visiting SF over the week end. The restaurant was almost empty, which i did not expect. Was tempted to leave but then decided to try it. I had the specials for the day, the rabbit pate' and the seabass. The quality of the food was just average. The pate' was ok but whereas the seabass was tasteless, it sounded like a pre-cooked dish just re-heated before serving. The whole meal did cost approximately $50 dollars, including a glass of red wine. Overall, i think that this restaurant is way over priced. Nothwithstanding the poor quality of the food, the service was good and attentive.

Pros: Good service

Cons: Average food and ambience

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I think this was one of the best meals I have had in the city. The service was lacking, but the food was really good. My bill for four people was around $250.00. I think it was worth it. I left feeling it was money well spent. The place was crowded ,but that was OK.

Pros: Food, Location, Ambience

Cons: Parking ,Service
