Terrible service with ok food. I was so excited to check out this restaurant, since I live in the neighborhood. So I made reservations for four of us (two young couples). Our evening was almost ruined by the rude service that we received. Restaurants need to realize that although we may be young, but we enjoy nice dinners and expect friendly service, just the same. The waiter failed to say hello (or provide any sort of greeting to us). He simply walked up to our table and just stared at us with this look like "what do you want?" He didn't bring us water or bread, and we waited at least 20 minutes before he even came to take our order. We had to ask the host for both, which he was very nice and brought some for us. I was starving by the time our entrees came. Despite my terrific hunger, the lamb that I ordered wasn't anything memorable. It was sort of tough, and didn't have a great flavor. The salmon was ok. The mashed potatoes were the best thing on the table. Oh, and did I mention that I almost fell over when one of the waitresses slammed into me as I passed her as I was coming from the restroom and she was heading back to the kitchen? It would have been nice if she had scooted over so we could both pass, rather than trying to beat me to the door. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be going back to this place anytime soon. There are too many other restaurants in the city with great food, prices, AND service. Sorry Chenery Park, looks like West Portal is going to get more of my business.…
Great Neighborhood Spot. Great slightly upscale neighborhood restaurant. And on Friday night's there is free Jazz at Bird & Beckett Bookstore right up the street.
great food, poor service.
We had dinner on Friday night. We waited for half an hour even we had a reservation. After we were seated, we had to wait another hour for food to be served. No complain about food but the wait
wasn't fun.
I would like to go back on weekdays, not on weekends.…
I am hard to impress; and this place blew me away!. My friend and I ate at Chenery Park last Sunday and I can not wait to go back! Every person that we interacted with (the host, bartender, waiter, and busboy) was warm, friendly and treated us as if we were the only people in the place. And the food was wonderful!! The pork chop was the best I have ever had. Next time I'm in SF, you will find me here!…
I was very exicted about the "southern" menu... yet the resulting food was less than expected..
We were all very excited to dine here as the reviews were good, and really, who doesn't like southern cuisine? Yet, the food was far from "excellent"... dry pork chops, flavorless black eyed peas...
over cooked lamb. Too bad, because the menu really sounded like a dining experience.
I will admit the pricing was very fair, lower than typical market value, but still.
We had to wait 20 minutes for our table, for which we had a reservation. The bar tender pushed flavored spirits for every drink... including a gin and tonic, and come on... really?
All in all, I am very disappointed that this restaurant isn't living up to it's reputation...…
