Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Zuni Cafe, a San Francisco staple, is renowned for its "exquisite chicken," "superb service," and "warm, unpretentious atmosphere." Enjoy their signature dishes like the roast chicken and Caesar salad in a cozy setting. While some guests find the noise level challenging, the overall experience remains "wonderfully memorable."

    We don’t normally get date nights and we’re excited to visit Zuni after having eaten there a few years ago. Our experience was horrible. Service was painfully slow, waiter kept blaming the kitchen but tables next to us got their food way faster. If gratuity wasn’t included this guy would’ve gotten a zero. Food was amazing. Service was trash. Dude was kind or rude too

    Cold food. Overpriced and bland. The only star dish was the lamb stew. So disappointing.

    We had a nice lunch on a Sunday. Great ambience. Gem salad and the buttermilk dressing was really good. The merguez lamb kabab dish was really good too. We shared for two and it was the perfect amount.

    Food was delicious, really enjoyed the Ceaser Salad. Ambience was nice, restaurant decorated for the holidays. Waiter was very slow in taking order, seemed like other tables that arrived after us were getting their food before us.
