Couldn't get in last month when I was in town, left a sour taste. Last nite we got in thx to the manager, Eli. He apologized and gave us 4 desserts gratis! They were delic. The real stars are the anchovies! If I cd go every nite, I would! Our se

Did part 2 of my mom's birthday celebration here and we had an amazing meal! We had a reservation for 5:30pm on a Saturday at the bar and got to see the chefs in action. Of course, we tried their staple anchovy tomato toast which was really yum

I had wanted to check out The Anchovy Bar for months, so the opportunity finally came yesterday when I dropped off some family at SFO. I had to wait for about 30 minutes outside where I was lucky to find some parking right out front. The area aroun

Great staff, delicious food, but the mandatory fees (not disclosed in prominent, bold text as required by California law) leave a bad aftertaste. It totally kills the vibe after enjoying a wonderful meal with a well curated bottle of wine. Honestly,

A few months back we dined at their sister restaurant State Bird and it was fabulous so we have made it a mission to try all three of these restaurants- Anchovy Bar next. It was AMAZING!! Loved the cool, intimate interior and it also has an outside
Highly recommended !
Excellent food and wines. Everything was really delicious and original, especially the anchovy toast ! Very nice service too.

I loved the ambiance, it was very cute, intimate, and semi-casual. I loved how much they committed to the anchovy theme, even with the napkins. We made a reservation a week before for dinner for 4. The meal was surprisingly more affordable than we
Fantastic food! It's a little pricy but well worth it.
I especially recommend the edamame toast and pickled anchovy - divine

We really enjoyed our meal at Anchovy Bar aside from a very strange interaction we had with our server. We gave her our drink order + apps order and then I said, "We'll start there". She looked at me and said, "Chef needs the en

Interesting concept
Lovely restaurant with great vibe! Very friendly staff in great atmosphere serving an interesting menu. Delicious plates with some of them anchovies based. Reminded us of a tapas place.
Fresh, clean, amazing
Fresh, clean, amazing, we loved everything: local pickled anchovy-edamame toast, marinated spiny lobster tomato-makrut lime vinaigrette, sewed salad, Mendocino red zin. Busy, industrial setting, beware hours are limited and pricey but anything worthw
This was my second time dining here.
While there were some unexpected experiences, I must say the food is amazing (5 stars). However, the service needs a lot of improvement (0 stars). To begin with, the reservation: I didn't expect to wait an additional 25 minutes to be seated upon arr
Great intimate vibe with good seafood and wine.
Service is attentive and nice. I recommend getting two apps and two mains if it's a party of two. Dessert wasn't the best but most restaurants in the city haven't nailed dessert in my opinion.
Excellent food and service! I was surprised and delighted
Excellent food and service! I was surprised and delighted by the dishes and flavors. I was touched that the restaurant remembered the wife had a serious allergy and had reviewed their menu to offer accommodations. They have a loyal fan!
How do they consistently have such interesting delicious
How do they consistently have such interesting delicious fresh food such as fresh blue fin tuna tartar? How do they have such an amazing wait and bar staff. (Bartender is awesome.) And it's cozy and NOT screaming loud. Go. Soon.

The restaurant has a great vibe, with good food and decent service. However, we felt a bit rushed as they pushed to finish our table within 1.5 hours. I highly recommend the pickled anchovy toast and Tuna Carpaccio. The squid ink pasta had a really g
Great service and ambiance.
Must reserve in advance. Enjoyed the wide sampling--next time, though, we're just going all in on anchovies

Great food but felt the service was subpar for this caliber of a restaurant. My family and I dined here on a Friday night for my birthday. We were a party of 6 and were seated outside at our reserved table, it was nice any toasty from the heating lam
Incredible, flavor-bomb food.
Every dish had interesting spice/ingredient combinations that I would not have expected to be as delicious as they were. Service was super friendly and attentive. Glad we made a reservation because they were totally full by 530. Can't wait to come ba
Third time dining here.
Outdoor seating is well-warmed and protected from wind. The star of this meal were the seasonal fresh anchovies fillets, served very simply with olive oil and salt pepper. So flavorful and perfect. I would come back, sit at the bar, and order that an
Not really my vibe.
Small expensive plates. The broccoli dish is pretty bad. They give you like 3 small strips of anchovy with bread. Californian food is a scam
The emperor's new clothes.
While I like the idea of this restaurant, the food did not live up to my high expectations. We had a lot of food and most of it was overpowered by brightness that is too acidic . The crab ravioli was a bit too al dente and the barbecue oyster was jus

4.5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 fantastic date night spot. Intimate and beautiful set up. Not good for large groups though. Service: 4.5/5 everything was great but a lady came up to us to ensure we had ordered and it was almost like she was stressed that we h

A great spot if you like anchovies.
Mostly doing 3 stars since 3 out of the 5 dishes we got were misses for me, but the bay shrimp chirashi was so good. I loved the make your own hand roll theme to the dish.

Made a reservation a week before for an 8:00 pm reservation.
We had a light snack before so we're fine with just the seafood tower. It's typically made for two but they are able to make it for three, for 1.5x the price. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Definitely recommend getting a side of chips (or two) t
What a fun and unique restaurant.
As an anchovy fan, I just had to check it out (plus I was going to The Fillmore to see a show and it's right around the corner). I'd reserved a bar seat but ended up sitting outside as I liked that better. The heaters made it quite comfortable. The

My type of place There are really special dishes on the menu. Some seafood and some items that the chef probably just likes and is inspired by. Must try: - bay shrimp aguachile a must! - focaccia & mortadella - steak tartare - potato chips -
I would give this a 3.
5/5. The service was good but the food was just okay. Not a lot of the menu items caught my eye and the things I did order (the duck and anchovies platter) were just fine. Don't think I'll make the trip out to the city for it but wouldn't refuse if s

The food is consistently good and the menu is always updated with new dishes. Most notable is the is the friendly, kind staff. The Anchovy Bar is a gem.

they always get you don't they? With a cool interior, fantastic wine, and wonderful articles in every major food publication in the city, I thought Anchovy bar would be a slam dunk. And to be honest, loved the vibe, loved the wine, even loved the anc

AMAZING place! I like this place much better than the other 2 Michelin-starred places owned by the same people (state bird, the progress). The food is innovative but not too over the board. The duck Milanese is a real highlight, so so delicious. The

Service was good, beverages were good, the plates and cups were beautiful, but the food was pricey and didn't wow us. Maybe it's not anchovies season so they were all canned anchovies. Considering anchovies is their namesake, I thought the anchovie

Good here is very good.
Lots of little plates that I will not call tapas. Fresh and creative.Why two stars? As my dining friend and I were deciding what to get, I asked the server to bring us s dozen oysters to start, by the time they arrive we will have our order settled.N
Amazing Creative food
The Anchovy Bar exceeded expectations. All the dishes were wonderful and more creative than its parent State Bird. Service was great and waitress was helpful in suggesting what to eat. The wine from Santorini was a perfect match for the food. Do

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Anchovy Bar San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Anchovy Bar San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at The Anchovy Bar San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Anchovy Bar San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
