Best Wineries in Civic Center / Hayes Valley / Van Ness

My twin and I went there to celebrate our birthday. Our first time dining here here. Everything was amazing! Starting from the first thing we saw. I liked the front entrance. The appearance glowed and was very welcoming and the door wasn’t your average normal door, it was a wall that was knocked down and made into an entrance, I really liked that. The host, was very friendly, helpful and handsome. We were seated in the best seat in the house. We weren’t crammed, it was well lit and comfortable. Our server was super friendly. Liked her Russian accent. She took care of us from the moment we sat down at our table until we said our goodbyes. She guided us with the menu. We told her what we liked and she helped us figure out what we were going to have. With 2 big guys and 2 petite girls, The Butcher Block was plenty for the 4 of us and super delish! I can’t forget the drinks , Butchers Sip was very tasty, but the Old Fashion was my fave. Last but not least, our birthday desserts was decadent to the last drop of sugar. Our first time experience here was simply amazing from beginning to end. We will definitely be coming back for more deliciousness. Thank you Blind Butcher!🙏🏽🫶🏽🙌🏽

Fantastic, well prepared and creative dishes. Very high quality- friendly, knowledgeable service in a great space. It is noisy but a fun experience- I’ll be back!

wonderful oysters biggest oyster ive seen in happy hour

Overall, a pretty good dinner. Good seasonal menu items. The prosciutto and persimmon salad was great; the pizza was a bit undercooked but still pretty good; blueberry lemon cake was ordinary but good. A bit on the loud side, but it was busy so that’s expected. Great service as always.

Montesacro is a tried and true SOMA restaurant. The food is always simple and perfect. I enjoyed a delicious glass of red, and one of the best panna cotta's in recent memory! Yum.
