Smoke Soul Kitchen — Restaurant in San Francisco

Food was yummy, staff was nice, little to no service, but friendly atmosphere. Cutlery and coffee is self-serve, which would've been nice to know, but we figured it out on our own.

Overall, it is a beautiful place with great potential, but they really need better customer service and should update their menu to match what is...

More than the food itself, the owner and everyone who worked there were so warm and hospitable. They were testing out chocolate chip cookie recipes and gave us some complimentary. We went with our dogs because I thought from photos online that there was a back patio --although there wasn't a patio, they had some tables out front on the sidewalk and were super accommodating.
