1601 Bar & Kitchen

I had a wonderful dinner here in December 2024 - intimate and delicious and perhaps the most filling tasting menu I’ve ever had (we were already stuffed by the second course)! Highly recommend, everything was super flavorful esp the chicken curry and dessert was 🔥

We had a really spectacular meal here. The menu was creative and fresh, and was presented beautifully. Our server was friendly and attentive, and ensured we had a great meal. One of the better tasting menus I’ve had in San Francisco.

We attended a private event at this beautiful cozy restaurant. The hosts were so welcoming, generous and attentive. We had a set menu so that made it easy to not worry about the ordering... And above all, the food was absolutely delish! The 'semifreddo' with Ceylon tea (Pic) was so lovely... 👌😍. Every single dish was a hit! Thanks Brian and team!

Amazingly delicious food! Even compared to London standards, the food is exceptional.

This place is very unique. I don’t know Sri Lankan food well, but my friend who accompanied did and mentioned how many of the dishes were based on traditional things, but with an interesting and creative twist. The tasting menu was in my opinion fantastic with a nice variety, the people very nice, and it was very easy to park on the street, so basically everything you could ever want. Considering the quality, time we spent there, and number of dishes (something like 10ish items), it was well worth it!

Amazing food, everything was so delicious and everyone was so nice. Cannot recommend enough! They are doing scheduled dinners for approximately 10 people, only one each night they do it. They can also follow dietary restrictions because they are only cooking for your party.

Came during happy hour with my daughter and the service was phenomenal. The waiter was absolutely the best. I wish I had gotten his name. He cater to us without a bothersome type of atmosphere.

Every course was delicious, and the service was perfect - attentive and approachable without being hovering or too casual. You can see and taste the love and care that has been put into making an exceptional dining experience. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
