Good Combo – Wine and jazz is almost as good a combination as Guiness and fish & chips. I enjoy both, it just depends on my mood or date for the evening (or lack of).

The lamb shank rocks! – I get down to SF several times a year (from Portland, Oregon - a great food town these days, BTW) and try to uncover special places with particularly fine interpretations of some classic dish, or rare ones that aren't easy to find elsewhere. That leads me, for example, to Cafe Colucci in Oakland/Berkeley border for the best fulle ever (not watery); to Bombay Cuisine in Berkeley for fabulous Indian home cooking; I don't usually bother with Union Square because it's generally too pricey/pretentious for ... read more

We found a new north cal favorite! – I just ate at first crush last night and the reviewers are very entertaining to say the least....lol...wow! Whatever, it's all about me anyway :). My wife and I ate the shrimp spring rolls. Great sauce and very crispy. We had a nice glass of rose and then shared the salmon and the ribeye. I wanted mid rare and it was served a perfect mid rare. We had two nice glasses of cab and then had the cheese plate for dessert. We celebrated our 10th year wedding anniversary upstairs because the down... read more

I just had to have a glass of wine! – I came down on business from the Bodega Bay area and didn't know any "wine bars" in the area except one that is in the financial district which was closed. I looked up other wine bars and found First Crush. I just wanted to have a couple of glasses of wine and some small appetizers and bellied up to the bar. I had a red "flight" which was very reasonable for the amount of wine you received. I had the beef short ribs which were very tender and had this great demi sauce to it. I then had t... read more

MAY I HAVE SOME WINE WITH MY CORK? – C'MON... I THOUGHT THIS PLACE WAS KNOWN FOR THE WINE??? SHOULDN'T THEY TEACH THE SERVERS HOW TO OPEN UP A BOTTLE? SHE JUST LEFT THE BOTTLE ON THE TABLE WITH THE CORK FLOATING AROUND IN IT! OTHER THAN THAT, MY FRIENDS AND I HAD FUN... BUT WE ALWAYS HAVE FUN! IF YOU GO FOR THE WINE...ASK TO OPEN YOUR OWN BOTTLE!

This place is wonderful! – Food and service is great! Great wine list. A must for first time S.F. diners! Cool upstairs and downstairs has a split level appeal.

The most romantic place to eat in San Francisco! – I just moved to San Francisco a little over two months ago with my boyfriend. We have traveled and have lived all over the world. We love food and love trying different restaurants. Thus far we didn't have a lot of luck with great restuarants in San Franciso until we came across First Crush. The setting is very romantic with bistro style tables and candels througout the restaurant. It reminded us of a restuarant you would find in Europe. The servers are amazing and the food ... read more

Wonderful little spot with a lot to offer – We chose to book reservations here after seeing great things about it online & in magazines. We live 2 hours away from SF so we really enjoy making our trips there special & as unique as possible. We arrived at First Crush in the pouring rain. The host staff was great. They took our wet coats & let us dry off downstairs. The restaurant is a bit crowded upstairs but once you start enjoying your meals, it's no big deal. Our server was very attentive. The "flight" idea is the best. Wh... read more

Perfect Date Restaurant!!! – My boyfriend and I ate here for our one year anniversary and loved it so much we just went back for our third. Just as great as we remembered it! Upstairs seems more romantic for couples and downstairs seems to be a litttle louder, brighter and for larger groups. Service is very attentive and friendly--we never had to ask for anything, they were one step ahead of us. For the price (reasonable) the quality of food and service is really exceptional. The short ribs are AMAZING. Can't stress that eno... read more
