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.

A Gem – This is probably my favorite restaurant in SF, and I don't think it gets the attention it deserves. It's small & quaint. The chef makes everything to order & uses the freshest & finest ingredients. I've never had anything I didn't like there, and I've been there numerous times. Wonderful wine list. For some, the location might be a drawback, but once you get inside, it's very charming & there's easy parking outside. I recommend requesting a table in front so that you can watch the chef in action.

Will go again – The food was delicious, the staff nice and profissional. It was quiet and nice, wouldn't go there with a large group of friends, more for an intimate dinner.

Incredible – This was by far our best dining experience in San Fran. Absolutely divine warm grilled nectarine with Chenel chevre and prosciutto; incredible Rosenblum 2000 Zin at a steal; smooth service and beautifully stark setting. I would choose this restaurant over any others and plan to return on my next trip.

GO GIRLS!!!! – We've been coming here since it opened - I think three or four days after it opened in fact. We come in from New York, and go every year. Wouldn't miss it. Margie and Dana know how to take care of people, and that includes the food, the wonderful wine, the hospitality, everything. No question about it: you be rude to them, and they will be cold to you. Fair is fair. But I've never seen any reasonable customer be unhappy here. Any low reviews seem to have expected something it's not. I hope they succeed.

A MUST SEE! – WG does not disappoint. The food is incredible and the atmoshere romantic. I thought the staff was a bit standoffish, but very pleasant. It's nice to be taken care of without being intrusive. The Mission is underrated and once inside, the charming and romatic atmoshere take over, so don't be deterred by the neghborhood. I am a local and a a good eater and think I am a good judge of SF restaurants - Woodward's Garden is a must see.

Culinary Delight! – I have been working in restaurants for over 10 years, and I finally made it into Woodward's Garden after hearing praise for it for years. The food was wonderful, creative and reasonably priced for the upscale fare. The owner was waiting on our table, and was very sweet and considerate. I had a salmon dish that was delicious, with a great salad to start. This place is great- romantic and unique. Check it out!

SF's #1 – The ONLY restaurant in SF that never disappoints. the service is kind of...er, weird. Not bad but just strange. However, I think the absolute world of the women who run this place. i have never ONCE had a bad meal in five years. I don't go that often but Margie always remember me and what I like to eat and drink. WG has a small, interesting menu, i.e one pork, beef, chicken, one/two fish and vegetarian option (that non-veg folks would also order, as I did on Sat night). They do meats especially well here and the in... read more
