The Anecdote SSF — Restaurant in South San Francisco

The Anecdote has a magnificently designed space and view of Oyster Point. The interior decor is reminiscent of New England rope tapestries and cushioned white-washed furniture. The dishes are above average quality California fusion cuisine, which includes the Turkey Club Sandwich, Classic Cheeseburger, Lobster & Shrimp Sandwich, Steak Tacos, Spicy Tofu Bowl, Salame Pizza, Albacore Tuna Melt, Soup of the Day (was carrot today), and salads like Quinoa Garden Bowl and Peach & Burrata Salad. When we walked in, nobody greeted us for a couple minutes, so we wandered toward some open tables before someone pointed us to a table. We chose a nicer table by the windows with a view of Oyster Point.

I ordered the pizza, which was leaking oil the moment I picked it up. It had some nice tart tomato sauce, and the crust was nice and airy, but the salame overwhelmed the pizza with its saltiness. My mom ordered the Quinoa Garden Bowl with an addition of grilled salmon. The salmon had a nice crispness. The greens had a lot of long stems and not a lot of leaf. The dressing was hardly there.

Unfortunately, the speaker pendants hanging from the ceiling were positioned directly above our table and they were blaring shrill highs without mids and lows. Made it difficult to have a conversation and relax with the music being so intrusive. They could have lowered the volume a good amount and still been able to provide ambience throughout the dining room. It's a nice place to stop by for a quick lunch if you're passing by South SF. Just wish the speakers were not as loud and we hadn't had to stand awkwardly at the front waiting...

This was surprising good. It's in the same building as Cytokinetics. Parking is around the corner, just grab a ticket, park on the third floor and bring your ticket to Anecdote to get validated. The Plaza is on Level zero. The place is new. Service is great even though I did take out. It's open to the public. The Steak Breakfast Burrito was pretty good, so was the Chai Latte. I took a picture of the breakfast menu, but I believe they are open for lunch and dinner.

I'll definitely come back since it has great views and it's close to work at...

Excellent place, first time in SanFrancisco and the hotel we rented didn’t had a restaurant to eat breakfast and I found this place just 3 minutes away and it was great. They have breakfast and lunch, the food it’s organic and everything natural. Everything was delicious and the food it’s worth the price. The portions are big and with outstanding flavor. The waitress “Yamilette” was super nice and she gave us lots of tips from the city and recommended places...
