AC Lounge — Attraction in South San Francisco

Decided to eat at the restaurant as the hotel does not offer room service.

Attentive friendly staff. Really pretty view of the water and love the big windows and natural light that comes through !

We ordered 2 cocktails: the St Germaine Smash Mule ($16) and the pink pear-adise ($15). Made well, sweet and refreshing.

Pricing was $-$$. Bit sad as there were 2 mains that were not available. We ended up choosing their in house burger ($17 + $2 for fries) - it was very tasty but unfortunately quite soggy that I could not pick it up. The fries were delicious and moreish..

The pan seared honey basil salmon with quinoa pilaf, roasted corn and arugula ($22) was good but not something I’d order again. It but smaller than the burger and was more expensive as well.

The brownie with the vanilla ice cream ($7) was the perfect ending to our meal! Would satisfy anyones chocolate or brownie cravings.

We were offered complimentary shots to try which was also great to add to...

Nice little hotel bar within the AC Hotel. Was staying at the hotel for a few days for work with some colleagues and we would come back here for a nightcap.

Their drinks were generally great (Karl the Fog and Smoked Manhattan were my go tos). The food was decent (ordered the charcuterie board for prosciutto but it came with only salami).

The atmosphere/ambience could be improved a bit. Can't quite put my finger on what I'd change but I think the decor felt a little uninspiring.

Overall though it was still a nice spot to close out the night with in area where there's not too much...

For those working in the area, this is a good go to option. Lots of suits and employees in neighboring companies joining for a drink or two..or three

It's not a quiet place, but definitely less rowdy than Foundry and Lux.

The drinks and food menu is pretty standard for hotel bars (limited but has the basics - fries, pizza/Flatbread, etc). The wine selection is good enough for a glass or two, and the mixed drinks are good as long as you order simple.

The staff is really nice...
