What a find! Food choices were great- love the fact they are shareable as it's hard sometimes for my wife and me to try different things at a restaurant with individual/full portions. Quality was excellent as dishes are innovative, accurately described, and tasty. Don't pass on the caviar potato cloud (insider tip- order one for yourself instead of sharing)! And the drinks are also innovative and quite balanced in their flavor profiles!

Best meal I've had in a long time. Stellar service, excellent ambiance, and interesting seasonal menu. The food and cockails are works of art, but also accessible. Focus on flavor and textures as opposed to trying to super decandent.

The food was decent but way overpriced. The staff was incredibly attentive and courteous. Honestly I don’t think I’d go back again unless the price came way down. I’d say of the dozen or so Michelin places I’ve been to this is about 10th.

Th Progress is by far one of my favorite places and restaurants in SF. The vibe and playlist sets the a casual and playful atmosphere. The duck is always the star of the show and can’t be missed. Seared rare local albacore and Tierra vegetables masa dumplings were the favorite take away from the evening. It’s a special place and always look forward to returning

I’ve now dined here three times and it’s amazing every time. The Bird’s Eye View was such a fun cocktail, and the seaweed noodles, duck, and everything else were delicious.

The restaurant space is absolutely gorgeous - stunning and thoughtful design. Our server was super friendly and welcoming, and was obviously very well-versed on the offerings. The food was good - but for the price, I was expecting perhaps a bit more. Some of the dishes (the rabbit, spiced cauliflower in pumpkin mole) were spectacular while others were just OK. For the cost of the meal, my expectations were higher. The service across the board was truly wonderful.
