    Fantastic! Everything was great from start to finish. We came for our anniversary, and they really went the extra mile to make the night special. The host greeted us warmly and congratulated us, there was also a lovely card waiting for us at the table, both the server and sommelier wished us a happy anniversary, and they even brought out a complimentary desert with a candle. All very nice touches that were not expected but appreciated! Every course was beautifully plated and delicious. We had the little gems salad, the focaccia, hamachi crudo, risotto, filet, and romano beans. Each and every dish was perfect. Service was excellent, personable, and calm. It's pricey (like all nice places in SF), but Prospect is one of the few places that is actually worth it. We'll definitely return!

    How do you “up the game” in a restaurant that is consistently excellent? Casually elegant with an innovative seasonal menu - every bite is a revelation. Add in the attentive service, great bar scene, with a dining room suitable to a romantic meal for two or an after-work business gathering - simply the best.

    We celebrated my husband's birthday at Prospect, and as always, it was fantastic. He had his favorite—Risotto with Scallops, which was creamy and perfectly cooked. I went with the Petrole Sole, which was light and flavorful. We started with the Burrata and Beet Salad, which was fresh and delicious, and the French Onion Dip topped with estate caviar with little potato chips—absolutely amazing! To finish, we had a Lemon Tart and Olive Oil Chocolate Cake, both incredible. The champagne and cocktails were also perfect. We usually come here for special occasions, but with fried chicken and mashed potatoes coming to the menu next week, we can’t wait to try it! Another wonderful dining experience—highly recommend!

    It's always such a joy to dine here! I came for a girls' night out my first time, and most recently on a romantic date with my husband. The ambiance was perfectly suited to each experience. The service is top notch and the food is incredibly memorable. I can't wait until my next visit! I'm typically a cocktail gal, and the interesting beverage menu does not disappoint. I was also blown away by the wine selection -- pro tip: ask for curated pairings for each course. I tasted wines I'd never think to order that perfectly complemented the dishes we selected. This restaurant is one of my faves!
