The Progress San Francisco Reviews
Had a great meal last night.
The food and service was exceptional. Ordered 10 to 12 dishes off the menu and every one of them was mouth watering delightful. To finish it off we had a Progdog and peanut milk for dessert. What a finish.!!

Food- We tried almost the whole menu and the dishes that stood out were the duck and pork/squid. The duck was served with a fried rice that had a deep umami flavor. Pork sausage and squid was cooked in a tomato sauce which was delicious. All other d

Such a charming, low-key fancy spot that gives veggies as much love as the proteins. The decor feels like a peaceful garden, and the staff were welcoming from the moment I arrived, suitcase in tow from BART. We sampled nearly all the vegetable dishes

Decided to splurge last night for a fancier date night than usual. In the end, the bill actually wasn't that dramatically higher than a more mid level place (but we didn't drink alcohol). Anyway, the restaurant was wonderful. The people

Hands down one of the most incredible dinners I've ever had in SF. Every bite was literally 5D -- the multidimensionality and delicate balance of each flavor profile subtly balancing sweet, savory, umami, texture, and saltiness was perfect in ev

The Progress is a must-visit and worth coming back to again and again This was our second time dining at The Progress, and it just keeps getting better. It's officially become a non-negotiable stop for us whenever we're in San Francisco. T
Best meal of my life.
I ordered the entire center of the menu and I have no regrets. The pillow caviar, beans, potatos, pighead and bread were Phenomenal. But then, then the duck came. All the service was fast and efficient. I am so happy that they were able to accommoda

You will NOT find cliché menu offerings here!
I researched both State Bird Provisions and The Progress and we selected The Progress for our dinner while visiting San Francisco for 2 nights. We love restaurants that are trying new things and The Progress delivered! We shared 5 dishes and then ord

Very very interesting and creative menu, great wines, good service, nice atmosphere, great place to share plates and try new food combinations, much more interesting than the average restaurant menus
Phenomenal flavors!

World Class Food
I must write something short about this excellent establishment. Food and service world class, innovative, original and presented with an artistic touch. No pretentious airs. Michelin still deserved. Lighting a but low to read the menu so the prices
Great food, great staff and a different experience!
There were 4 of us and one person could not tolerate garlic and our server really helped to determine the dishes that were free of it and which ones could be modified. I knew we were in a great restaurant ! Lots in the menu to choose from and the con
Amazing dinner but don’t miss the duck
Visitamos San Francisco de camino a Napa y la familia sugirio este lugar del cual no estabamos concientes de ser estrella Michelin. Esto no hizo diferencia en nuestra percepción de la comida y del servicio, vale la pena probar la mayor cantidad de p
Amazing.
Such a very special treat to come to this beautiful setting, to experience SO many fabulous interesting flavors, gorgeous design, and to be treated with care and friendliness, without feeling we have to be on our best behavior. Incredibly fresh v

Very nice dinner, but not necessarily where I was expecting.
The food was overall great, service was a bit uneven.. We waited a very long time between our second and third course while entree to dessert time was instantaneous. They add some random 6.5% charge which is very disappointing - wish they would inclu

I've been wanting to try this place for a while.
I've really like State Bird Provisions and have dined there many times before and after the pandemic. Upon entry? The space is very nice. Upscale, but not pretentious. We did have a later reservation (9pm) and I think that played into our s

I’m always a bit nervous to dine at a restaurant I have high expectations for — The Progress is one of those rare beauties that absolutely lives up to its reputation. From the service to the decor to the food, everything was exceptional. Our wa
Our New Favorite SF Restaurant
After many years of not eating here we have had 2 meals in the past 3 weeks. The menu changes all the time, but remains inventive. We had 3 appetizers and a main, and liked the appetizers the best. We had the mulberry toast, with fromage blanc and
Simply amazing.
The duck alone was worth it but the service, ambience and overall vibe of this place made our anniversary dinner an absolutely stellar experience. Radicchio salad: 9/10 Caviar Potato Cloud: 8/10 Sausage: 9/10 Steamed black cod: 8/10 Half Duck: 10/1

A+ for service and food.
It was our first time here and our server gave us some recommendations on what their popular dishes are and the number of dishes we should order. We got the potato cloud, scallop crudo, seaweed noodles, and duck. Everything was delicious but the high

Excellent spot near/in Japan town.
The food is solid and the vibe is warm and cozy. Great for dates or just hanging with friends. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive. If you have the time and a the need for some delicious food/drinks, do not hesitate to come here.
It was amazing to be back to the Progress.
The service is very professional and their food is great. The restaurant is not as busy as before, I remember we had to make reservations many days ahead of time before pandemic

The only Progress I made at The Progress was emptying those plates,,., My boyfriend and I visited The Progress on a Saturday night. The ambiance struck us as a cute date spot (We saw many couples at the bar and the tables as well). We were sat down
Underwhelming
I made reservations based upon the NYT “Top 25 Restaurants in San Francisco”. Was difficult to get reservations. Got reservations on A Monday at 5:30 pm. Arrived early…does not open until 5:30! Asked for a quiet table for my wife’s birthday.
An epicurean delight
This restaurant was a great experience from the minute we walked in. The service impeccable, the ambiance fun, and the starters and main courses phenomenal. Hubby’s black cod dish was probably the best seafood dish we’ve ever eaten and daughter
Great food, poor wine service for a Michelin starred restaurant
Great food, great wine list. The duck was stupendous. Wine service for a Michelin restaurant was disappointing to say the least. Should be no excuse in a place like this. Took the shine off what could have been a memorable evening
Fantastic
We tried many dishes, all mom which stood out for the delicate taste, creativity of preparation and presentation. The duck was exquisite. Also, excellent wine list.
Can’t wait to go again…Delish!
Fabulous dinner from start to finish…something for everyone including gluten free too …great service,,,highly recommend
Fun & Delish birthday dinner :-))

Impeccable
We loved every aspect of The Progress. The atmosphere was warm and inviting - clearly a high-end place - but without feeling the least bit stuffy. The service was friendly and extremely professional. Food and drinks were both creative and perfectl
Beautiful.

Connect with users posting reservations for The Progress San Francisco
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Progress San Francisco. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
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
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Progress 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 Progress 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
* FluffyStar64, 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.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at The Progress 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 FluffyStar64 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, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64'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 Progress 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.
