Delightful – My second time at First Crush was even better than the first. I had dinner with a friend from out of town, and he loved it. We were both impressed with the wine list, and with the staff. I had the Halibut, which was great. Crab cakes are also very good. It was perfect for an out of town guest.

Wine Lover's Dream.... – I visited First Crush SF after hearing about the Mill Valley location from a few friends. The place was hopping when we arrived and although we had to wait about a half hour for our reservation, the manager was very curteous and brought over a glass of wine for my friends and I. The dinner was fantastic, especially the small plates, the crab cake was to die for. We tried several flights of wine and the server was very helpful in guiding us in matching flights with the food we ordered. If you like gre... read more

so-so food and service – After a pleasant drink at the upstairs bar, we were seated in an almost empty downstairs, which was cold and felt like being put in the basement. What's more not even the staff seemed to be down there. Salads were good. Main courses had some good flavors to them, but seemed as if they'd been under the heat lamps too long (my mashed potatoes were getting a crust).

First Time at First Crush – This was my first visit to San Francisco, and also my first visit to First Crush. What a wonderful restaurant in a wonderful city. The food, atmosphere and service were perfect. I hope my second time around will be just as good.

Party Perfect – We had our work holiday party at First Crush, and everything was wonderful. The staff made our party feel very comfortable, and the food was perfect. The prices were reasonable, and the wine selection was great for our budget. I think First Crush is great for any size party.

Best staff – I've eaten at First Crush about five times. Their staff are some of the friendliest in the city. They make great wine recommendations as well. The restaurant is casual, the food is solid (crab cake is still my favorite), but the waitstaff are what make my experience every time.

First Crush / No Crush – My fiance and I were highly disappointed with our dining experience at this restaurant. We will not be returning. If you are a couple and you want some kind of privacy the level floor will not do, its too cramped and small. You will sit fairly close to another party. The level floor wasnt too spectacular and the 1st seemed more appealing, . Regarding the food, it was bland. I had the steak, my fiance had the chicken. Both dishes were quite dry and not flavorful at all. The appetizer was good, but it ... read more

No dessert here! – This place is again HIGHLY overated by City Search! The place we sat at was sooo dark we could not make out the menu. The couple next to us kindly loaned us a candle to see a lil better. The waitress had issues of her own and did make us feel welcomed at all nor did she offer any specials.. The meal portions were waaaaaay undersized and overall 1 big dissappointment for me and my date. I wil never go here or to the Mill Valley location again.

Nice ambiance, good food, great wine – I recently had my husband's surprise birthday party there & First Crush did a fantastic job. We had a party of 20 people and everyone commented on how much they liked the food. They have an extensive & reasonably priced wine list. The service was a tad slow (it was a busy night), but we were a big group and it gave us more time to mingle. The staff was all very responsive & helpful. I would highly recommend the restaurant for groups, but it should be noted that after a group of 12 I thi... read more
