I used to love South Park Cafe. But I just ate my last meal there last night. The waiter was awful - total attitude, rushing our table of 3 to place our orders even though there was only 1 other table in the restaurant. He rolled his eyes when I placed a used toothpick from my martini on the table...wtf? While enjoying our pre-dinner cocktails, he kept coming by to take our wine order. We weren't sure what bottle we wanted so we told him we needed a few minutes. He returned 60 seconds later to ask what wine we wanted...again, wtf? He acted very rude and totally put-off by our wish to have a nice, relaxing meal. I'd like to reiterate that at NO TIME during our meal was the restaurant full. No one was waiting for a table and the waiters (2) both had time to hang out at the bar several times during our meal. After our main course, our waiter again rushed us to place a dessert order. Again, we asked for a few minutes to look at the menu. He then ignored us for 15 minutes, walking by the table with his nose in the air AFTER we asked him if we could place our dessert order!! We also saw him snickering with the OWNER and other waitstaff on several occasions. Up until that point, we thought it was just our waiter with the bad manners, but once we realized the whole operation was run by a bunch of snobs, we decided to forgo a conversation with the manager/owner and put our experience on Citysearch instead. South Park Cafe can have their attitudes, but they can't have my business any more. There are too many great places to eat in San Francisco that don't have attitude. Why give rude people your business when you have so many (better) options?
Pros: ok food, nice location
Cons: rude waiter, owner, no parking, overpriced
