The Mortimer San Francisco Reviews
Mice little bar in the hotel Adagio. We stopped in for cocktails and a snack. The garlic fries were crisp and garlicky. Service was prompt and pleasant. We'll stop on daily for our entire stay.
A Hidden Gem in the Heart of San Francisco – The Mortimer** Tucked inside the elegant Hotel Adagio, The Mortimer is an absolute treasure for those seeking an exceptional dining experience away from the hustle and bustle of Union Square. From the moment you step inside, you are enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication—an exquisite blend of modern charm and classic refinement. The service here is truly unparalleled. The staff’s attentiveness and genuine hospitality elevate the experience, making every guest feel valued and cared for. It’s rare to find service that is both professional and deeply personable, yet The Mortimer executes this effortlessly. And then, there’s the food. Every dish is crafted from scratch, ensuring freshness, precision, and remarkable flavors that delight the senses. The culinary artistry shines in every bite, and my experience with the crabcakes was nothing short of extraordinary. Perfectly crisp on the outside, tender and flavorful within—these were some of the best crabcakes I’ve ever had, anywhere in the world. Every ingredient tasted impeccably fresh, harmonizing beautifully to create a dish that was simply unforgettable. For anyone looking to unwind in a serene setting, accompanied by world-class cuisine and outstanding service, The Mortimer is the perfect escape. Whether you're a local or visiting the city, I wholeheartedly recommend treating yourself to an experience here—you won’t regret it!
Came for happy hour. The burrata was stellar.

Fantastic food, quiet & warm atmosphere, topped off by amazing service by my new fave mixologist/charming drink ninja, Jake! Thanks for a great dinner after a LONG day.
Great time, Luis the bartender and the staff make this hotel bar standout. Creativity with the drinks, gives all of the patrons a personal touch and makes it fun to spend time here.
Luis is a god! Really awesome cocktails that he adapts to his guests. The mood he creates brings a great atmosphere to the crowd.
Delicious breakfast! I had the feature today- chorizo scramble with potatoes and toast. Servers were nice and food came quick.
I ate here for a week and a half and enjoyed every meal its consistently great. Also the help was excellent (Eric Woltemate made sure every thing was perfect)
Tasty meatballs, huge salad portions and great beers on tap, I had a great meal thanks to a friendly waitress!
Wonderful place to stop by and have a cocktail great atmosphere love the interior design
Extra dirty belvedere martini for me please
Matthew is awesome

Small but good food!!

I usually stop by this bar for some happy-hour drinks with co-workers, a couple of times a year. The drinks are good, I like the clean and modern decoration and they are usually not very busy and loud, allowing us to talk without a problem. The space is quite small but the chairs are comfy.
Some great Happy Hour specials like meat lovers pizza for $8 & Bottles of Beer for $4. Comfortable upscale environment with friendly bartenders. Happy Hour goes from 5 7 every day!
The bar at the Hotel Adagio. It's quite nice. When I visited, it was quiet, but the staff was attentive and friendly. The bartender was on top of his game. Lots of seating and while attached to the main lobby, it's still easy to have intimate or group conversations. Liked this bar better than some of the recommended trendy ones we ended up at.

Everything is great at the Mortimer and I frequent this place as a local. Only thing is if you pay for food and drinks with a debit card they put an authorization for $60 against your bank account in addition to taking the money to pay for the meal. While they got paid they are still holding the $60 authorization for 10 days now. Impossible to reach on the phone. I'll think twice about coming here again.

Very disappointing; while the staff were friendly, that didn't translate into a good dining experience. I decided to get dinner at my hotel after an exhausting day of work travel. I asked what appetizer was quick since I was very hungry. I got the deviled eggs and asked for a minute to consider my entree order. I gave up and left after waiting 45 minutes for him to return to take my dinner order. The eggs were overdone and not to my taste. They need more staff during peak times.

Menu does not match online menu at all! Also prices are almost double what is shown online. Bait and switch!
