Great food. Great staff. Awesome that they are open 7 days a week and open later than so many other restaurants.
So glad they are in the neighborhood. One of our go-to places.

As always in my many visits there, everything was excellent, and my friends agreed with me about that during our recent luncheon. That includes both the food and the service.

Great place but they had all the windows and doors open and it was unbearably cold. Even the staff was wearing sweaters

The Mystique is one of my reliable go-to comfort food experiences. This time I was good and had the salad rather than the garlic fries. Festive holiday atmosphere and comfortable all around.

Excellent food, and no 5% San Francisco employee mandate surcharge. Management of this Restaurant should be commended for not having that . We will be back. Everything from the food to the dining experience was top-notch

I'm consistently impressed by the exceptional dining experience at Cafe Mystique. The cuisine is always delicious, with dishes expertly prepared and presented. The service is equally impressive, with friendly, attentive staff who ensure a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Cafe Mystique is undoubtedly one of my top recommendations in the Castro district – a true gem not to be missed!
I've been so many times the staff remembers my order. Lamb risotto/ Medium spicy. The hummus platter with extra garlic pita bread. A glass of Shiraz. Done. I look forward to returning.
