A great experience. Went for a private event but the service was great and the food was an experience. Everything was delicious. I didn’t take pictures of everything I ate. I enjoyed the bread rolls that had potatoes on them. I had the short ribs which were very tender and flavorful. I don’t usually like octopus but I ordered it for my starter salad and it was cooked perfectly. I also thought the service staff was very attentive and thoughtful about how they handled our large party. They made a great vegan alternative for someone in our party and she was very happy. It was off menu.

25 Lusk hosted my wife and I as well as our family for our wedding dinner! We booked a private room for dinner and they were able to fully customize our menu and all of our special requests (including allergies). The staff truly went the extra mile and allowed us to bring them our wedding cake the day before. They were a joy to work with before and during our ceremony, and we could not have asked for a better atmosphere for our wedding night! Next time we are in San Francisco we will certainly be back and recommend you check them out as well!

Visited for Restaurant Week with a party of 3. For $45 we each got a choice of a small plate, entree (also on the smaller side), and dessert. All of the dishes were enjoyable and especially the sauces on each. Waiter was very friendly with great drink recommendations such as the pear and fennel cocktail. Overall a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Chef Matthew Dolan is an artist. Went to the restaurant for their House of the Dragon-themed feast. Food was excellent. Check out his book on seafood recipes Simply Fish. The chef came and hung out with us between courses of the dinner. Had a great time!

There is a hidden gem situated in an alley that you wouldn't want to miss. 25 Lusk. This place offers great food and has a hip ambiance. Additionally, the cocktails they serve are simply delicious.

Such a fun environment. Flavorful, unique cocktails and a short but delicious menu. Plenty of nooks to enjoy the atmosphere while feeling spaced apart from other groups. I'll definitely be back!

My brother had an intimate wedding dinner here and Needless to say, we will be recommending this place. The people here are great. Everyone so warm and welcoming, doing their job with great delight. The chef and the wait staff just impeccable. I have lots to say about everyone, but the lady called ‘Mel’ was exceptional, kind and remarkably helpful throughout the set up. People do their job nicely, but others go out of their way to make guest feel comfortable. The food was fantastic and the steak went out really fast, a testament to how good it was. Overall, wonderful night/experience. Thank you, Mathew and Mel❤️

I’m French and I like good food ! Warm welcome from the chef, excellent service, recommandations such as the pear cocktail, the wine Cabernet franc and venison were amazing. Staff, atmosphere, and the most important the food were all excellent. In addition of that, my wife has a strong gluten free diet, and they made sure to offer her some delicious alternative. Thank you to chef Dolan, the staff for a beautiful evening.

VIP event so limited menu. Beautiful space. Drinks and apps were fantastic! The waitstaff were on point and very friendly. The short ribs were very tender and good. I wish they had a bit more flavor! That’s my only complaint.

3.5 stars yearning to be 4. think just ordered the wrong things. My wife had 5-star pancakes with strawberries and syrup and went al Harry met Sally food-gasm on it. am sure it was awesome but I was dealing with the buyer's remorse of a slightly dry and underwhelming lobster @ bacon roll. Our friend had the octopus Benedict that was apparently on par with the afore mentioned epic 'cakes so tried a bite and it was pretty damn good. was left thinking why didn't save the bacon from my lackluster lobster BLT and use it on the spare eggs Benedict she offered me. Or just gotten the burger instead. The road not taken... The cocktails were legit, make sure you order one or several. The Bloody Mary had a special roasted tomato house mix, giving it a smokey rich taste. Not my favorite but interesting. The Gold Rush with bourbon was epic though, make sure you ask for it off-menu. Dec 2015.

This was recommended by the hotel we stayed at. It is served by tapa plates and was really delicious. The price was a bit high but for the food I would say it is worth a try once but probably wouldn’t go back.

Table service is not provided to all parties. We had to get up and order at the window. Rooftop restaurant is located on the 3rd floor and there isn’t a good city view. Passionfruit margarita was pretty good.

Went for dinner- found the online menu differs from what is really offered. All they serve is small plates. I mean small!! In addition, it’s very limited, and drinks are the size of a shot. I ordered a dirty martini- don’t do it, they charge extra for the vermouth! Really?? The food was a bite size portion of each except the cauliflower. This place is a rip off. Can’t believe they mislead you online. DO NOT DINE HERE! The servers are rude. Can’t believe they could hold face serving what they serve. You get a bite of food for the price of a meal! Opt for the rooftop instead- they have real food and drinks.

Very poor customer service! Firstly, we didn’t get the wine we ordered so they tried to cheat us with a cheaper wine. When we realized they took it away but still charged it to our bill. After long arguments they only deducted half of it. The manager was arguing with us….very bad and unfriendly. Food was average. We will not be going back.
