This was our first time to Abrazo and we loved it. Our server was the owner and we were well taken care of. I wanted to try a Spanish wine with my meal and he recommended a great one...let me taste it first to make sure we liked it. We also were not sure if we should order small plates and share or main entrees. He helped us navigate that as well and we decided on 4 small plates with one entree. All the dishes were delicious! Once we ordered, he had the items come out so that we could enjoy the dinner, at a slower pace. He had the gem lettuce salad and prawns come first, followed by the steak tartare, and then brought out the chicken (highly recommend) with the potatoes bravos. We didn't do dessert because we were seeing a show, but he mentioned that they make their desserts and ice cream in house. No worries because we will be back!

Abrazzo continues to deliver - great food, great service, in a warm and inviting environment. This is our go-to restaurant when we have friends from the South Bay or out-of-town. They are always impressed by their meal (we always share the tapas family style so get to sample a large portion of the menu) and the experience. Abrazzo's kitchen executes consistently at a high level; it can't be beat.

Great experience! The whole team is attentive and nice. The food was great and so were the drinks. The atmosphere is what really sets it apart. You can’t beat watching the cable cars go by while you eat!

Great food! Four of us shared about 10 small small plates. The octopus and potatoes were the best of the items we picked. Salmon and bread were also good. The drinks were also enjoyed by all and the staff was friendly. The service level was perfect.
