Great Wine Flights! – Good wine and decent staff. The wine flights are a great choice. Try and ask for a table closer to the bar or downstairs. Some of the tables closer to the entrance tend to be chillier.

Great Wine, Average Food – I went last year for the first time, choosing the location for the 'romantic' aspect. We went for our 1-year anniversary, on a Sunday night. It was packed, being the Sunday of the Nike 26.2 Marathon, so there were a lot of runners and tourists, since most stay in Union Square or thereabouts. Our waiter was much more interested in chatting it up with the 3 ladies next to us who were in town for the race (and single) so we had to ask the waiter for something anytime we needed it. The wine flight was ... read more

So Romantic and Great Food! – I?m always looking for good restaurants, so we had a SF trip planned for this past weekend, so I looked online for good restaurants. I came across ?First Crush.? I saw the reviews and had to check it out. We went on Saturday night and it was just great. The place is set very romantic like. We started off with great wine and the cheese appetizer platter. Then we had our meals. Their menu is divided into sections of ?small plates? and ?large plates?, (which I think is a great idea), I can never fi... read more

Lovely, cozy and romantic! – My boyfriend and I came to San Francisco for a little weekend getaway and I made reservations at First Crush based on the great reviews on Citysearch. The reviews didn't lie! This restaurant was adorable and cozy and charming. A wonderful wine selection and beautiful ambience. You do sit kind of close to other people, but that was o.k. with me. I loved it!

stopped by for a quick bite – Had a nibble with my date. Nice spot. Wine flights were fun. Had a couple of nice appetizers. Place was hopping at 8 o'clock. Downstairs looked fun but we wanted something more intimate. Read some of the reviews and decided to try First Crush. Some reviews were helpful, others seemed funny. All in all, the service was nice and non-intrusive but professional. We'll come back for a full dinner experience soon.

Great date spot – I've only ever been here for drinks late at night, but it's a great place to sit and relax. quiet enough to carry on a conversation and really comfy if you can snag a couch downstairs. Love their flights and the wine cocktails but service can be seriously lacking sometimes.

great food, nice wine = fantastic overall experience – My mom and I came here for a girls night out...had high expectations after some of the reviews. The place was pretty busy since it was Friday night but it was a lively, but kinda swanky atmosphere. Not overly stuffy or trying to be romantic, just cool. The hawaiian dalu (sp?) fish, pork tenderloin and crush salad we had here fantastic. Service was on it ,and we received good wine suggestions, as expected. I was wondering if it would be too touristy since it's in Union Sq... read more

2 HOURS OF MY LIFE THAT I CAN NEVER GET BACK :-( – Okay, somebody is manipulating the reviews? I feel taken advantage of! I challenge you to find another restaurant with more than 50reviews... 114 is suspicious. ***HERE'S MY EXPERIENCE AT FIRST CRUSH*** <<<1. SUB-PAR SERVICE>>> ((Servers with attitude wearing dirty t-shirts resembled the homeless)) ((No server etiquette... we were greeted by the server with a rude..."areya ready")) ((The female server with the curly red hair almost knocked the cork in the bottle (for a place... read more
