Rise & Set — Restaurant in San Francisco

We came to rise and set on May 17th. We arrived close to the end of their lunch time. I would say maybe an hour and thirty minutes before they closed. There was about four other tables already seated when we got there and we were seated quite quickly.

Considering the amount of tables still seated at the restaurant when we arrived, the frequency of checking in on us was not a lot. After the server took our order we did have to flag them down a few times to get more water and then to get our check as well.

The space itself was still practically brand new as it hadn't only been open for a few months. Beautiful interior, there were some very nice light fixtures throughout the restaurant, and even the cutlery and tableware were very appealing to the eyes.

Regarding the food overall the food was good but it was definitely missing a little bit of that flavor punch needed. For example the ribeye I got was a bit chewy and was lacking flavor when it came to a little bit more salt maybe a little citrus or acid to really brighten up the other herbs that were used to marinate the meat prior to cooking.

The burger was cooked perfectly but it did need a little extra seasoning either salt pepper or a little spice to bring out the flavors of the meat.

I will say the fries were delicious though perfectly crispy on the outside, with a little bit of softness in the middle. We almost ordered a third serving of those.

Overall I would say good atmosphere, generally good service, food was good needed a little extra spice for some things and with the ribeye it should...

I am a breakfast/brunch person, so when I heard about this new restaurant opening in my neighborhood, I thought I would give it a try. The restaurant is spacious (use to be a Thai restaurant), airy and with lots of natural sunlight. I like the way they changed the outside dining area - looks cleaner and more presentable than the previous restaurant). This restaurant did not meet my expectations. I wanted drip coffee - they only have those "special" coffees. I asked for ice in my cup of water. When served, there wasn't even one ice cube. I had to ask twice for a glass of ice. The third downer is that the menu is limited - not what I consider a breakfast/brunch menu. The food is presented well. Some dishes were okay (some were on the salty side and some were a wee bit overcook) but not one dish stood out except for maybe the salmon which was well cooked on the outside but tender in the inside. This is a pretty decent restaurant on this...

I really want to like this place. The service was generally good and the atmosphere and ambiance is perfect - I love the color scheme and the layout and fixtures. The food was uneven and the service at the end could have been better-

My oat latte was great, and the avocado toast was pretty good, but the fries were very undercooked, soggy and cold. I didn’t eat them at all. When I told the server about it, she didn’t apologize and just walked away. The fries were not taken off the bill and I was forced to pay for them (see photo attached).

This place could be great - just please own your mistakes and don’t make the customer pay when you mess up, please.

My total spend after tax/tip $38.62 which is a little excessive for a latte, avocado toast, and a side of fries that...
