Arquet

“Excellent experience last night at Arquet for my family visiting SF from Texas. The food, especially the chicken and pork, were nothing short of amazing (coming from Texas where we take proteins very seriously, this stands out even more!). The service was the perfect balance of attentiveness, personal, and fun. The details, including the water front view, plates, silverware, and ambiance were casual and inviting but also high quality without being pretentious. Definitely a 5-star team and restaurant that stands out in a town of so many great restaurants!”

“Not bad. First time there. And it seems to be a worthy successor to the Slanted Door space. Steak was tender and easily cut with kid hands. We had brunch style food but it was great. Beautiful scenery too especially inside the Ferry Building.”

“A fantastic spot! I’ve been here for lunch and dinner (a few dinners actually), and the service and food are always amazing. The staff is very attentive - starting with Dash at the front who is always a joy to see - and there is a great variety of dishes to choose from. So far there isn’t a single thing on the menu that I haven’t loved. Note for some: the chicken dish does include chicken feet (which I liked, though my friends didn't). Also, the duck liver and bone marrow are excellent but very rich, so I'd suggest enjoying them during different visits. Highly recommend!”

“Very nice service and have good food. The squid was exceptionally good—perfectly charred and tender. The fruit pickle was a real standout, too, with its bright, tangy twist. And honestly, the desserts are the best thing on the menu; you can even grab them from the baking store next door if you are a dessert fans . they are same company. One area for improvement, though: the bone marrow. I prefer big, deep, scoop‑able bones, and these felt a bit lacking in that satisfying richness. As for the foie gras—it’s my absolute favorite, but alas, whole foie gras is no longer available in California. So I’ll take the pâté, but I still miss that glorious seared lobe. I would love to come back again to try the fish. looks amazing！”

“Fantastic food overshadowed by a pretty odd service experience. The food - chilled pea soup (so tasty and creative), cod (maybe the best cod we've ever had - the broth! so tender), smoked olives (truly the best olives we've ever had - unique!), dungeness crab on brioche (WOW), and pear/graprefruit/kimchi salad (also so creative and delicious). The service - they were welcoming when we arrived and allowed my wife to work in the little lounge area, which was quite nice. But as many others here have called out, we got dishes 1-2-3 in short order, then literally 20-25 minutes before getting our cod/salad (which was not a main). Our waitress was standing behind us for 5-10 minutes at a time when I was waiting on a simple glass of wine. It took so long to get our food that we literally couldn't bother to wait to order dessert for fear it was going to take another 30 minutes. It's definitely not cheap ($175 for the above), but it's also not crazy expensive. We ended up leaving with a weird taste in our mouths due to the service. But the food was REALLY good.”
