About this business
Our resturant is located at the site of the original Woodward's Gardens Amusement Park, one of San Francisco's first amusement parks, open from 1866 to 1891. We love that our resturant is connected to such a sweet part of this city's past. Our cooking is also from a time past, when food was necessarily of the season and made thoughtfully. Our garden opened under a freeway in 1992 and was one of the first of its kind to establish itself in San Francisco's unlikely Mission District- now a thriving destination.

Went in with too many expecctations... – My boyfriend had been wanting to try this place out, so for his birthday I decided to take him here. We had read all of the reviews, seen the menu and were so excited. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a let down - not entirely, just a bit. The space is so quaint, and I loved that I felt as if I was in a friend's home. The staff was so attentive, but the food was not as tasty as I would have hoped, and was a bit on the salty side. I think it is a little pricey for what it is, but maybe w... read more
Delicious! – The food here was amazing. Although their menu is small everything sounded amazing and it changes according to what foods are in season. I am a vegetarian as well, so there were fewer options, but I didn't care because what I could eat, was delicious. I would definitly reccomend it. I liked that while the food was upscale, the restaurant itself, was warm and inviting. If you sit in the front room you get to see all of your meal being prepared as you order it.
pretty good food, not that romantic – I heard such nice things about the atmosphere of this place but it was nothing special. Most of the dishes were tasty, particularly the pork chop and the corn chowder. The wine list had very few moderately priced selections. I don't know - can't see any reason to go back in a city with so many places to try.
best comfort food and very romantic – i came here on my birthday and it was by far the best food i have had in a long time. their portions are generous, and the food was flavorful and hearty. it is located underneath the freeway, a little strange, but i think that if it was located anywhere else it would be super packed. the service was a little spotty, but honestly, the food speaks for itself, when most resturants are going smaller portions, it is represhing to finally eat at a place where the portions are real. i really li... read more
Underrated restaurant This place is a fabulous place that gets booked extremely quickly, their wines are great, their lamb is made to perfection--I really love eating it, and my favourite upside-down mango cake is made for your mouth to water! The atmosphere is very romantic and the waiters are extremely kind. You should get a reservation before going or else there will be no space!
Weird service/ superior food – The service was poor. The host had the manner and expression could best be described as 'limp'; like someone having a bad hair day. She came bearing the wrong entree altogether, but we were not charged for her "unforced error." Aside from that, the food was inventive, with flavors that were unexpected and presentation that was top-notch. I like this place for the funky urban vibe. World class cuisine in the armpit of the city. It seems to have a devoted following.
Exquisite Food in Blah Surroundings – Make no mistake, food at Woodward's Garden is top notch. Probably the best I have ever eaten in San Francisco. The portions were generous, and the flavor meldings were totally in tune and unpretentious. Highly recommended is the clams and mussels with merguez sausage. The escarole, endive, blue cheese, white and red beet salad was also the best salad I have been served in this city. The blue cheese was a creamy accompaniment, instead of being over powering. The entrees were equally as im... read more
Great Food, "Weird" Service – After recently dining at Woodward's Garden, I finally understand what other reviews meant by "weird" service! We were seated promptly (get a table in the front, not in the back room) and everything we ordered was delicious! Standouts included a fantastic swordfish, a savory butter bean soup and a to-die-for vanilla creme brulee with shortbread cookies. Service was, well, weird - efficient without being friendly. Not quite unfriendly, just a little remote. Not much chit-chat or eye contact. Even ... read more
Sensational French-Cal cuisine takes center stage amidst cottage decor in a slightly hidden destination. – The Scene In-the-know-diners seek out this unassuming restaurant located between the Castro and the Mission. Beneath a ceiling fan, the exhibition kitchen occupies as much space as the L-shaped seating that surrounds it. A few old-fashioned portraits of British women hang on pastel green walls, while a chandelier and wall sconces decorate the auxiliary dining room. A lone waitress provides efficient service throughout t... read more
