The 20 Best Restaurants In Nob Hill

"Anyone who likes to spend their evenings admiring wine bottles with pretty labels should come here to brush knees under the tables and split a few pies with a date. This bi-level restaurant (with a well-stocked record collection) is the neighborhood’s buzzy pizza and natural wine destination. The menu is mostly seasonal plates like burrata and gnocchi with asparagus and peas, but focus on the wood-fired pizzas that get nice and blistered in the oven. Hone in on the “That’s Hot, Honey,” a pepperoni-covered stunner drizzled with, no surprise, hot honey." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway

Pizza and Excellent People-Watching Pair Well at Small San Francisco Spot Back to Back - Eater SF

Back to Back Review - Nob Hill - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"This natural wine bar in Nob Hill is a date night specialist. Natural wine and music playing on vinyl set the mood. Snug seating arrangements where you can “accidentally” brush knees under the table are plenty. And the wood-fired pizzas and small plates like wagyu tartare and braised short ribs are what you want to share when you disclose to your date that you hide a comprehensive Lego collection in the back of your closet. Focus your attention on the pizzas. They’re about the size of a frisbee, with charred crusts that are miraculously puffy. We love the “That’s Hot, Honey” covered in pepperoni—it’s a nice segue into going down a Paris Hilton rabbit hole for the rest of the night." - Julia Chen

Fantastic Italian spot, really good food and good vibes. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu but their steak and pizza are both top tier

Yes! The pizza was as elastic and as crunchy as it needed to be, the ambience was romantic yet vibrant, and the servers were friendly and knowledgeable. The burnt leek pizza with a bit of chilly oil was divine. Highly recommended for a date. Note that it’s loud and tables are very close to each other. Make sure you book a table in advance - small bar sitting available. Attire smart casual. As pizzas go, Napizza is still my favorite, but in terms of overall experience, this is the best pizza place in SF.

Gem salad was really good would get again Hot honey pizza was really good would get again tho I’d prefer to try the snob hill one instead Shishito peppers and calamari were alright, nothing special

10/10 for all the food. One of my fav meals I’ve had in the city! The tuna and potatoes are a MUST - we finished everything and were licking the bowls clean! Will be back to try the other pizza flavours 😋 Chocolate cake was def on the richer side but delicious - would be perfect between 4 people.

We came here after hearing about it from friends. Overall it was a good experience. The service was good throughout but it did feel a bit rushed. That could also have been because it was a Friday late afternoon. For food we ordered the wood-fired bread and added on the ricotta hot honey. This was by far the best thing we ate and was very unique. Order at least one. We also ordered the Gnocchi and the Margherita pizza. The Gnocchi was good but felt a bit flat. After the first few bites it was the same flavor over and over. The pizza though was very delicious. It was the same knockout crust from the bread but with a good sauce and overall made for a great bite. All in all, I think its worth stopping by!

Excellent service and atmosphere. Lots of natural light and high ceilings. All dishes were great. Highlights for me were: 1) Octopus - excellent combination of flavours in the sauces 2) Spring Salad - amazing dressing

Back2Back was an absolute gem. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service hit the sweet spot between attentive and laid-back. The food? Next level. Fresh, high-quality ingredients prepared with real care—every bite was full of flavor and intention. You can tell the team loves what they do. I’ll definitely be back.

Get cozy in here cuz it's a tight fit. Highly recommend making a reservation cuz this place is always busy. The vibes here are immaculate. We love all things pizza. We also tried their wagyu tartare as well. Everything here was great except for the SF health mandate they add on. I know you can ask to have it removed but come on....

Back to Back is a cool little spot to casually enjoy some pizza with your homies or your other half. We came on an early Saturday dinner night and we were lucky enough to get seated right away. We quickly got sat at the bar. It's a little tighter space but ima little guy so it was okay for me. Once we sat down, we got our waters and the menu. We ended up ordering the Brussel Sprouts & the Burt Leek pizza. The Brussel Sprouts were juicy, crispy and very delicious. The Burnt Leek pizza was very good as well. While the pizza was freshly hot, the stracciatella cheese was cold (it's how it's supposed to be) and it made a freshly hot pizza easy and enjoyable to eat. The staff were friendly, on top of things and helpful. I would definitely return to Back to Back whenever I'm in the city.

Back to Back definitely shines for its upscale ambience. Its two-tiered dining area is beautifully decorated with hand drawn posters, record players, and lights. I can see why it draws so much of an audience on weekends. I thought the food was ok. The service was a bit slow, which is understandable with the full dining room. We got three pizzas and a salad, and while we asked for the salad to be brought out at the same time as the pizzas, as it was someone's main meal, it wasn't brought out until about ten minutes after the pizzas were served. I'd definitely recommend this place as a nice date spot but I believe you can get better food and service elsewhere.

Really wished I went sooner. Beautiful setup/interior, dim lightning, refined atmosphere. The apps outshined the pizzas for me. The brussels sprouts were one of the best I ever had, the right balance of sweetness topped with some crispy texture. The pizzas are great as well - got the snob hill and hot honey pizza. The burrata/mushroom sound fantastic as well. Did not realized the wines were a must get -- next time.

I was blown away by the food at Back to Back! We went in a big group of 8 and they worked with us to create a "tasting menu" to meet their $75 per person minimum for large groups. We had more food than we knew what to do with and had to add bottles of wine to meet our minimum. Absolutely incredible experience and will be back!

great great ambiance!! Pizza was solid - good variety. We added hot honey to burnt leek, but the honey overpowered the pizza. It is PACKED however for the evenings, and got slightly too loud inside unfortunately. Our server was amazing with helping us order, and service was generally pretty quick!

I love this place!! Vibes are 10/10 and food was 10/10 too. You must try this place. The burger was amazing and was so flavorful and juicy. The shishito peppers were also so good because of the citrus flavor. Also the interior is just adorable and would be such a fun place for a girls dinner or special occasion.

Came on a weekday with a reservation. I ordered the hot honey pizza without pepperonis. It was okay -- the pizza was warm with a very thin crust and came with chili oil. However, it was underwhelming in terms of flavor, especially given the piece point. I do love the ambience of this place - it's great for a girls dinner or date night! Their servers are attentive and quick.

I made a reservation for a late dinner at 8:30pm here, and I am glad that I did, since it was busy! First off, I loved the look and feel of this place; it was like being in someone's home. I had an absolutely incredible dinner here -- one of the best meals I have had in San Francisco. My party and I shared almost everything, including shishito peppers, cavatelli, the Snob Hill pizza, the That's Hot Honey pizza, the Panna Cotta, and the Flourless Dark Chocolate Cake. Everything was soooo good although I would say I didn't really like the Snob Hill (but that's just personal preference since I don't like goat cheese on my pizzas). I would absolutely love to come back!

This wine bar is a must! The food? Tasty! The wine? A wide selection to die for. The service? Super friendly and attentive. The vibes? Immaculate, homey, and romantic all at the same time. Back to Back is a wine bar in Nob Hill that has a wide selection of wines, an extensive menu of food (pizza, small bites and entrees), and an intimate setting with beautiful views of the city. This is a great place for a first date, an intimate night with friends, or a special place to take your parents if they are visiting the city.

4.5/5 stars. This place was really good! Despite being small and crowded, I didn't struggle to hear my date. The service was friendly and efficient, and I thought the food came out swiftly. The interior is so cute as well, with mood dim lighting and a great ambience; a great spot for a date. I left the meal full and satisfied. We ordered: Beet burrata: 3/5. Good! Not balanced enough in my opinion, however. Would have liked to have had more of the cracker-type things That's hot honey pizza: 4/5 good, about what I expected from a meaty hot honey pizza. Ever so slightly soggy but you know what, I didn't mind it on this pizza! Wasn't spicy at all, so both my date and I added chili oil. Burnt leek pizza: 5/5! This was great! It jumped out at me and I asked my server about it; she said it was one of her favorites and I see why. The cheese just paired so well with the leeks and pancetta. Dark chocolate cake: 4/5. Good but rich! We found it hard to finish this one but the flavor was delicious. It definitely was at its best when paired with the ice cream and strawberry to cut through some of the richness.

Back to Back has great ambiance - dim lighting and intimate setting make it an ideal spot for a relaxed yet refined evening, or even for a date night. Originally came for the natural wine but happily blown away by the food. Hands down the best mushroom pizza I've ever had (so far). Whether you're here for a drink or a meal, this place knows how to impress. Highly recommend.

I can't remember the last time I went to a restaurant where every single thing I ate was magnificent. Back to back just did it for me. At first I was not gung ho about coming here- nestled in a residential area parking was rough. We were there for a friends birthday and they had a minimum spend of $75 per person which I found ridiculous. The menu didn't wow me. Boy was I wrong. The food here is nothing short of amazing. There was not a single dish we did not devour. The dishes we ordered (all of which I would obviously order again) - Burrata - tomatoes were to die for! - kale - mix of crispy and cooked. So good - salad - obsessed with the dressing - house bread - like pizza crust! - hot honey pizza - perfect honey to pizza ratio - steak - looked more like a flank but still great - steelhead - loved how this fish was cooked - gnocci - the sauce was amazing The service was nothing to rave about but it wasn't bad. I didn't have a drink so I'm unsure of how the bar is. However, would 110% come back for food again. Delicious!

I tried back to back for the first time on a double date. We arrived at around 7 on a Friday and were able to get seated right away. It did get quite a bit busier as we were leaving around 8:30 though and there was a line out the door. The ambiance is very dark and romantic. They keep the lighting low and have candles on all of the tables. They only had indoor seating when we went but it looked like they have some fold out wall tables outside so perhaps when it is earlier in the day or the weather is nicer you can sit out there. We started with the Mixed Greens Salad, which was the perfect size for 4 people. The avocado cream was amazing and we all enjoyed the mix of fruit and lettuce in the salad, giving it a nicely sweet touch. For mains, we split 2 That's Hot Honey pizzas, 1 Margherita pizza, and the Wagyu B2B burger. My favorite was the That's Hot Honey pizza. It had the smaller pepperoni that get crispy on the edges and the spicy honey added a nice kick (but not too much if you're sensitive to spice). The margherita was also quite nice and seems like a good staple for going back to the basics. The burger was great as well and came with a lovely aioli for dipping, special sauce, and grilled onions. The one thing I will say is the onions weren't quite carmelized and some of them were a mixture of crunchy and soft. I would still recommend it though. Overall, this spot has been added to my ever growing list of SF favorites and I definitely plan to return!

Great date night or girls' night out spot (we also saw what appeared to be work dinners there) located in Nob Hill near Huntington Park! Come via cable car, by foot, or by Muni. Love the vibes and music and service--very personable, fun, and funny. Tried the brussels sprouts for an appetizer--very delicious and filling. The Snob Hill and Thats Hot, Honey were also very good--are they supposed to be personal pizzas? We each got their own and I took 3 slices of mine home, but the table of 2 next to us shared 1 pizza. Whoops. (A table of 2 that came later had 1 pasta and 1 pizza--the gnocchi looked very good.) Prices seemed reasonable for the location. The honey of the "Thats Hot, Honey" was housemade and delicious. We devoured almost everything and also enjoyed the wine selection. I'm thinking of joining the wine club which has a monthly wine tasting, but I wish it wasn't an extra +$50ish for a +1 to the wine tasting :'( Still, I'm considering it! Will be back. Great addition to the neighborhood.

Such a good restaurant!! All items are made with such high quality ingredients making each dish extra tasty and flavorful. Getting a reservation can be tough at times but you can always eat by the bar or outside if you are doing walk ins. 10/10 would recommend this place. The food, service and ambiance make it worth your while.

Pizza? Check. Wine? Check. Records and funky tunes? Check. Back to Back isn't the only place in the city that meets the above criteria, but it's definitely one of a kind! I'd been wanting to check it for the longest time purely based on vibes, so I was happily blown away by the food! The pizzas had a nice thin crust with enough integrity to hold onto the toppings which were 1) Me So Corny - summery corn, ricotta, jalapeño - so light and fresh 2) That's Hot, Honey - the (best) little pepperonis with, of course, hot honey - spicy, savory, indulgent. The octopus was nicely grilled and tender, and the panna cotta was layered with a creamier top and a denser bottom, and juicy berries to balance everything out. I am willing to brave my personal hell of circling for parking in this area if that means I can come back!

Fabulous restaurant, nice environment, good waiter. The octopus dish was outstanding!!! Almost ordered a second. The bone marrow dish is so tasty. The lemon butter was interesting but to me was not a great fit for the dish. Lemon is too strong/tart. The endive/beet salad very good but I would cut beets smaller, cut endive thinner and remove some stalk, add more nuts. The tuna tartare was Fantastic!!! The melon is a great touch. Pizza was very very good, but if the crust is gonna be that thin, which I love, you can't put so many ingredients on top, it's too heavy and too wet (from corn and cheese).

Back to Back in San Francisco's Nob Hill offers solid pizzas that hit the spot. I got a to-go order, but walked into a lively, wine bar ambiance filled with 30-something financial and tech professionals. The vibe was definitely more upscale and trendy than expected for a pizza place. Perfect for a casual bite with a touch of sophistication.

3.5 STARS If you're looking for a GNO or date night spot in the city, Back to Back is it! But, I'm only speaking for their outdoor seating. Situated on a hill, our table had a picturesque a view of the Bay Bridge which is a vibe in itself. And, unlike the indoor dining area, it was quiet with little foot traffic. But, ladies...you may want to leave the heels at home. Nob Hill is notoriously hard to find parking and you'll be walking like a baby giraffe on roller skates after schlepping up all the hills to get there. Team Slob Hill = dress comfortably. Opening in October 2022, Back to Back is a family-owned resto from unicorns (SF natives) serving wood-fired pizzas and natural wines with vinyl records spinning. They're open for takeout, delivery, indoor dining, and outdoor dining. It was a last-minute decision to dine here while looking for a dog-friendly resto after drinking on Polk. While they were busy, we were able to be seated without rezzies on a weeknight (around 7 pm). Highly recommend making rezzies on the weekends (OpenTable). M E N U Cal-Italian Fare. Small menu with apps, salads, wood-fired pizzas, and several entrée options (burger, steak, fish). GF pizza available (+$6). Full bar. When checking in for a table, I was asked if we wanted still or sparkling (no tap). A standard practice for fine dining but as a casual neighborhood resto, I wish they would mention "tap" as an option. We went with sparkling which was $9/bottle. F O O D * Golden Potato Yaki w/ garlic confit aioli, wild salmon roe, katsuobushi ($21) // 3 stars: https://tinyurl.com/4hj5zu3e The spin on okonomiyaki (Japanese savory pancake) sounded great on paper but these were just expensive fancy fries. The fries were topped with creamy aioli, several small dallops of salty salmon roe, and bonito flakes. It was ok but IMO needed sweet+tangy okonomiyaki sauce to offset the saltiness. For the same price, we should have ordered the carpaccio. * Salsiccia w/ mozzarella, tomato sauce, kale, housemade roasted garlic sausage, pickled onions, pecorino ($25) // 3 stars: https://tinyurl.com/3cxecxvf ++ Add hot honey (+$3) As a resto that specializes in wood-fired pizzas, I was disappointed with this one. Nice, blistered crust but the placement of the pickled onions in the middle of the pie created a soggy, wet center. And, the tomato sauce and garlic sausage didn't have much flavor. I was hoping the hot honey would help but it tasted like plain honey with no heat. Maybe it was an off day, or we choose the wrong pizza? * B2B Wagyu Burger w/ sharp cheddar, onion, tomato, shishito aioli, fries ($26) // 3.5 stars: https://tinyurl.com/3s2prak4 --Requested medium rare They nailed the wagyu patty - it was perfectly pink and juicy crowned with melty cheese. But, did someone give the bun CPR?! It was untoasted and smushed so there was no structural integrity. Upon biting into, the burger fell apart. Loved the hot and crunchy fries served with a creamy, slightly citrusy shishito aioli. S E R V I C E Positive vibes all around. Our server, Ferris was super friendly and upbeat. He even brought out pepperoni for my dog. Prompt food service and they coursed out our meal so the dishes would fit on the small table. We were the only ones outside and they were busy so we did have to go inside to ask for our bill and a takeout box. A M B I A N C E Formerly Venticello Ristorante, the space is minimalist and trendy with moody vibes, high ceiling, and a mezzanine area. Indoor seating looked to be cramped with loud acoustics. There's several outdoor tables which is awesome on a warm night. Heat lamps available. P A R K I N G Take an Uber or Lyft. Don't recommend driving here but if you have to, allot at least 20-30 minutes for parking. Overall, the food we tried was underwhelming but I can tell the quality was there. Great vibes tho and loved how dog-friendly they are. Giving the benefit of a doubt that we went on an off night so would still recommend for GNO or date night....if you live around the area.

What a wonderful wood oven pizza place! I recommend going with a friend or two so that you can try more pizza flavors! The environment inside is really great and cozy, just enough room and a really cool setting with vinyl records playing. There's a great selection of different pizzas, and nice set of appetizers and shared plates. I wish we could have gotten to try more of their menu, but we got too full. I definitely would return to this place again and I highly recommend it. All of the staff are very friendly and attentive. I hope this place sticks around!

I love!! Back to back super cute spot, good music and great food I love getting the pizza with the honey on it omg so good. Service is great a little rushed last time I went but was near closing time so I get it. Great date spot as well or to go with friends and enjoy. They have a little bar up top but I like sitting downstairs.

I've been to back to back twice and absolutely LOVE it! I first went to celebrate my friends birthday and we sat in the upstairs area near the vinyl table. Salad and pizzas were phenomenal, along with the wine. The second time I went we sat below and I got a great mezcal drink and the brussel sprouts, kale salad, and mushroom pizza. All were incredible. Their pizzas were really creative and flavorful, and the vibe / atmosphere of the restaurant really completes the experience.

This place is a fun neighborhood spot, I believe crafted from an old home. If you don't have a reservation on a busy night you'll be sat at the bar upstairs or the chefs bar downstairs where they make the wood fired pizzas, all others expect a wait! Bathroom floors are slick. Be careful! With one gender neutral even neighbors stop in on their way home to use it. It's a fun but a bit loud atmosphere always spinning records from their collection. We stopped by before a comedy show at the Masonic! This is a great date spot, or if you're catching up with an old friend. Share some dishes! We ordered the Shishito peppers and a had a few spicy ones . The sauce it comes with is soooo good! We also had the snob hill pizza which was a tasty crust, but really couldn't handle the robust heaviness of the toppings. I wished there was more blue cheese and I think all thin pizza suffers from losing their toppings on first or second bite, this was no exception. Heavy! Overall this place is great little neighborhood spot!

Back to Back is a cozy spot, great for groups to share and try a variety of flavors. The pizzas were solid, with unique toppings and a nicely charred crust. Our server was awesome--super helpful and recommended dishes that gave us a good mix to try. The chocolate cake was really good--rich and satisfying--the panna cotta wasn't what I expected from a traditional panna cotta. It was interesting and worth trying! The upstairs with music and vinyl added a nice vibe, making it a fun and relaxed spot to hang out and enjoy good food with friends.

Intimate spot for great pizzas and natural wine! I came here with a friend on a Saturday night. I would definitely recommend getting a reservation because the tables can fill up. We ordered two pizzas to share and they were both great - thin, chewy, with great flavor. The wine selection is fun, though there is limited options for single glass options. The service was okay.

LOVE THIS PLACE! The oooooonly thing that threw me off is we had reservations in the evening (it was dark out) and some of decorations looked dusty which kinda grossed me out. However because the lighting was dim, that could've been the case. Other than that the food was GREAT! Our server was so sweet and gave us great recommendations which I appreciated. They also had a DJ but it was quiet enough so we could still talk over dinner. Overall would recommend!

Back to Back was great!! The service was amazing, the food was great. The place felt warm and exciting, had a charm to it. The chocolate cake was the start of the show. Literally the best I've had in the city. Everything else was great too. 10/10 experience!

Saw someone recommend this place and decided to give it a try. We went on a Friday, and joined the waitlist on our way there. By the time we arrived, it was our turn to get seated. Service was good, and it is really cute inside. We got their margherita pizza with pepperoni, it was delicious. I absolutely loved the chili oil they provided on the side too. We were seated upstairs, my only complaint is that it's pretty small. The tables are super close together, which made it a bit difficult to move around. The parking is also horrible. We had to park a bit far, but the view of the city was definitely worth it! Definitely recommend this place!

Back to Back excels at delivering a top notch vibe regardless of the occasion. I've been for a weeknight dinner, date night, weekend pregame dinner & drinks, and Monica and her crew always deliver! Love that B2B not only features some of SF's best Neapolitan pizza but also has a rotating seasonal menu and interesting & curated wine menu. Highly recommend experiencing this neighborhood spot and leaning into the fun vibes!

We popped in before seeing a show at the Masonic and found this place to be rockin! We scored a table for two by the bar - my favorite location. Bartenders always know how to multi-task and ours was no exception. He made sure we had some water, found out our plan (drinks and food), and got us going quickly. This place is called a wine bar, but that is not giving enough credit to the food. We got the endive and beet salad and the shrooms pizza. to along with a few drinks. The salad was lightly dressed and had a nice range of flavors going for it. The pizza was amazing - a thin crust with a little bit of chew and the mushroom variety was perfect. Overall, this was a perfect spot to come by before the show, but I can see this as a post-show place as well. Clearly, there are lots of regulars here, with a few people just ordering a pizza to go.

We started off our meal with drinks and the calamari appetizer, followed by their burratata and hot honey pizzas - both of which we enjoyed! If you're a fan of butternut squash, I highly recommend trying the burratata. It's a unique combo and my personal favorite

Such a cute family-owned restaurant! I think about their Hot Honey Pizza all the time. I definitely would come back again and again just for that pizza. The vibes are soooo nice because there's music playing and it's super lively. A small disclaimer, it can get really noisy so it might be difficult to hear the people you are with over the table. They do also have outside seating options that are great as well!

Love this cute wine pizza bar! It's a small shop on the corner of nob hill with great vibes and food! It was a perfect dinner for a birthday celebration! We ordered the Chardonnay, potato yoki, summer burrata, hot honey pizza, and shrooms pizza. The wine was so refreshing and there were so many choices! My favorite was the thats hot honey pizza. It had a super unique taste! The pepperoni was salty and the hot honey gave it a nice sweet and spicy flavor. Would highly recommend this pizza! The service here was also super sweet! We brought our own birthday cake for a friend and the chef plated the cake super well and added some fresh fruit, which was super cute! Love this place!

Food was delish, service was above & beyond, ambience was good although the space can get noisy.

This was my second time dining at Back to Back because I loved it so much the first time--and once again, it did not disappoint. The bread, arancini, and Brussels sprouts were all delicious, and the pizzas were absolutely phenomenal. (We went all in and ordered the Snob Hill, Salsiccia, Burnt Leek, and Hot Honey--every one was a hit.) Our server was warm and accommodating, and the timing of each dish was spot-on. I also really love the ambiance here--it has that cozy, vibrant energy that reminds me of a great spot in NYC. Back to Back is easily one of my favorite places to eat, and I'll definitely be coming back again soon.

very adorable neighborhood spot! very nice service too. my friend and I got the me so corny pizza and burnt leek pizza to share. we were so excited to see such unique flavors! the crust was wonderfully chewy and cooked to perfection, but the flavor was good but not great. tbh there was a wow factor missing for both of these. I found the taste experience to be one toned/ homogenous. there needs to be more balance and complexity.. there was nothing pulling me back to take another bite. overall though, I would go here again for thr ambiance and to try their vegetable dishes, but not my most favorite pizza in town.

Ordered pizza from here on a night in, and I was not expecting it to be this good!! We got the Burratata and the Hot Honey pizzas, and both were SO good. The Hot Honey one definitely has a kick and a generous portion of pepperoni, and the burrata one was so flavorful and I loved the dollops of cheese. The dough is thin, chewy but still has a nice crispiness to it. And it was still so hot and fresh when it got to our door. This is definitely a spot I'd love to come back to dine in at, especially given the wine offerings!!

A hidden gem in Nob Hill! Everything about this place was a 10/10...from the ambiance to the food and wine to the service. I don't know much about wine, but they have a wide selection ranging from sparkling to whites and reds. The best part, though, was the food. Between three people, we split the: - Brussel sprouts: I love how crispy and roasted these were. I believe it comes with cherries, which is the perfect addition to balance the savoriness. - Hot honey pizza: I'm a sucker for sweet and salty, so this was always going to be a hit for me. The pizza is thin with a nice, chewy crust. They give you chili oil to drizzle on top! - Summer burrata: Creamy burrata with fresh heirloom tomatoes, watermelon, sourdough croutons, and basil. You really can't go wrong. - Panna cotta: This was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal - big fan of the crumble on top. Service was fantastic and very attentive. The owner, Randall, the owner was super sweet and came by to check on us often. Bonus: they do the occasional jazz night, but also normally vinyl records playing !

Owned by locals, Back to Back is located in Nob hill themed with vinyl records and Jazz band. The owners were very kind to recommend some small plates for us to try. My favorite would be the bone marrow. The toast was perfectly cooked and paring it with bone marrow was just amazing! 10/10 would go back again! Highly recommend :)

Oh man, this is a tough one because I love this location and have enjoyed this restaurant (and Venticello before this) for years. I had a really lousy service experience tonight and it's just not worth coming back. The food is good but if you're spending $300+ on dinner you expect a nice, attentive server who doesn't act like you should just not be bothering them or dining at their restaurant. It may be that some people just hate their jobs but bummer for this restaurant who lost a loyal customer.
