Great staff + value – After dining several times at First Crush, I thought I'd finally weigh in. The restaurant has consistently delicious food and a cool setting, but I have to rave tghe most about their staff. Those two British guys working there are probably the friendliest waitstaff I've met in the city. And Oscar, who served us last time, is great too. BTW -- filet is awesome, sea bass equally so.
Sunday Jazz – My wife and I ate at First Crush on a Sunday evening, and it was really great. They had a jazz band, and of course the food was great. Our waiter suggested some wonderful wine to go with our meail, and the jazz was just perfect for a Sunday evening.
Great Service, Sketchy Management – I wanted to thank the two female servers we had this past Saturday night. They provided an exceptional dining experience; the wine was awesome and dinner was great. I asked to see a manager, however, to let him/her know about the wonderful time we'd had, and to let him know how great the staff was. Unfortunately the server told us he'd left for the evening. It's unfortunate that a manager was unavailable on a busy Saturday night; I'm just glad everything went excellently, I would hate to t... read more
Great Party – My friend held a birthday party here on a Friday night with close to 30 people. The food was very good, I had the ribeye, which was prepared perfectly. I think everyone enjoyed their desserts. The wine selection was great, too. The staff was very accomodating for a party so large. I think everyone had a good time.
Best Crab Cake – My wife ordered the crab cake for her first course, and it was so good that I had to order another. I had the macadamia crusted sea bass for my entree and it was prepared perfectly. Our waiter suggested some wonderful wines and the creme brulee for dessert, which turned out to be the pefect ending to a perfect dinner.
Trendy – The food was good but not sensational, nor will it wow you by any standard. Our group liked their braised ribs, spring roll and crabcakes appetizers. They give you wedge slices of foccacia bread and olive oil/balsamic vinegar for dipping. There's a selection of salads but no soup. I had roasted free-range chicken (ok, not special) over a delicious crispy fried risotto cake. We would recommend passing on the roasted lamb. The duck was good. Desserts were not innovative and I skipped it. Our waitress was friendly and ... read more
worst dining experience in SF! – 3 of my friends and I had reservations on a SUNDAY night at 830pm and we were not seated until 9pm (c'mon!). So began the horrid experience. It took the waiter 20min to bring water and bread and to take our orders. He was SO bad that we left a $4 tip! He never came to ask us how we were, he never filled up our drinks, he brought out 3 of the dishes 5 minutes before the 4th....it just got worse and worse. Luckily, I had good company among me, otherwise - since the food was mediocre I was going... read more
Great Date Spot – I made reservations at First Crush for a third date on Thursday night. It was perfect. Not too loud, but enough people to make it a fun place. The food was great, especially the spring rolls. We shared some flights of wine, which turned out to be very good. The staff was very friendly, without be intrusive. Great place for a date.
Great wine selection, poor on food – I was disappointed in the food. Flavors and spices were all wrong and way too much onions on everything. Not all the food was cooked properly. Mediocre taste. They have a great wine selection but the food really needs help. Service is decent but not the level of upscale professional service.
