bosque

I cannot rave about this place and the food, service and workers enough! I hosted a private event here on a Saturday night with 35 guests and everything was perfect. I don't have many photos of the place and the food we had throughout the night, but everything exceeded our expectations. The food: I pretty much ordered the entire menu and every dish was a hit. I had a couple of vegetarians and people with allergies in my party and the staff was extremely thoughtful and attentive to our needs. Myself and my guests' favorite dishes included the mushrooms, scallops (pictured), cod and the steak. Given my event, I had pre-ordered from the menu, but many of my guests kept asking for additional items as they were too delicious to not get a second serving. The space: Bosque has the perfect cozy seating, lighting, music and atmostphere for an intimate and personal event. The space feels warm and inviting, also perfect for a date night or a night out with close friends. I had a couple people fly in from out of town for my party and they were so impressed by the space. The lighting and aesthetics were perfect for the many photos we took throughout the night! The service/staff: The wait staff, kitchen and managers of Bosque were all so friendly and accommodating for my event. They really emphasized making sure everything was to my own liking and really went the extra mile with the music and AV set up. Throughout the night, the wait staff was attentive to our party, making sure our glasses were filled and that dishes came out at the right pace. I had been planning this event with the manager for about a month and all of our interactions were warm and professional. He's also super knowledgeable and patient about wine selection which I greatly appreciated, and all of his suggestions worked out. Again, cannot recommend Bosque enough to anyone that would like to host a private event or even just come in for a delicious dinner in an inviting space! Shoutout to the Bosque team for helping make my event happen, it was truly a night I won't be forgetting! Can't wait to go back and indulge on more wine and yummy dishes on another night.

a warm, delightful and charming wine bar with premium wine at great price points. small plates are the best we’ve had in sf. owner is so friendly and knowledgeable. what a great time!

Soooo incredibly yums. Food is on par with the food I’ve had in NYC (I used to live there) which says a lot! Favorites included the scallop with brown butter and truffle blend (could easily down ten of those), the scallop/salmon crudo, the mussels (which we learned are uniquely bred to be this plump), and, to my utter delight, the bread. Not sure what they treat the bread with, but it’s some of the freshest and crackliest baguette I’ve ever encountered. The salted butter is chef’s kiss. Owner is a real gem and cares deeply about the sourcing of the ingredients - palpable in the excellent quality of the items served. Sit back, relax, enjoy a nice glass of wine (the Burgundy white was excellent) while you nibble on some delicious bites and bask in the warm glow of the Noguchi lamps. Definitely worth a visit ~~

Super cute restaurant! We love a short menu- makes it very easy to pick. The honey butter toast was bomb and good for kids, bacon delish, avocado toast was nice and hearty, and steak and eggs looked good too! There was honeycomb in the granola and yogurt. Will definitely have to come back to try the dinner menu!

Lovely gem in Hayes Valley. Delectable food, some people say they’re small plates but they are actually medium-size dishes with very reasonable prices IMO. Service was efficient and friendly but not overbearing. we had black cod which was light and flaky, roasted chicken thigh which was well seasoned and tender. The last entree we had was hanger steak which was cooked medium rare and perfect! The place was very cute inside, cozy with plenty of tables and bar seats, not too loud for private conversation with friends. Also, we got a chance to meet and chat with the owner Eric for a little bit and he seems like a nice guy.

Warm space, friendly service, excellent wine, and inventively comforting food. Highlights of persimmon with goat cheese, warm bread and butter, carpaccio, vegetables, and scallops.

So glad I tried the brunch here! Had heard great things about their dinner service but they just started serving brunch and it's definitely a new staple! The granola was extraordinary with the honey comb and fresh berries, and the bacon was SO good. Highly recommend 👌

Small menu but everything’s great! You’d think Hayes valley should have more cute brunch/ gathering spots like this but unfortunately no. Hope this place stays forever!

What a quaint little neighborhood gem! As a regular of the neighboring German pub-like restaurant, I was skeptical to venture out of my comfort zone into the unforeseen. To my suprise, the staff were hardly bereft of enthusiasm despite my close-to-closing entrance. They offered me a delicious glass of wine and didn't hesitate to offer a second regardless of an emptying dinning room. I ended up babbling with not just the server, but the chefs and owner as well, solidifying Bosque as a destination for return.

The food is awfully pretentious and lacking. The ambiance would make you expect something quaint and cozy, yet what arrived felt more like an exercise in culinary ego than an actual meal. Yes, the food looks nice, but where's the taste? If I wanted something cute for social media, I would've stayed home and asked ChatGPT for help. As for the service... Well, let's just say they skimp on a lot of things, but snark is not one of them.

Such a wonderful restaurant! Tasty food, cozy and cool ambiance, good prices, and great service. I sat at the bar and had a great time. Will be my new neighborhood spot!!

The food is delicious and the service is attentive and friendly. We sampled most of the menu and every dish was well presented and tasty. We also enjoyed some excellent wine---great options by the glass or bottle. All that combined with a low-key and lovely ambience makes for a delightful evening and we will be back!

This friendly and bright restaurant has an excellent wine by the glass list and great California style small plates. The food is fresh and interesting and pairs well with the wines. The bottle list is focused on reasonably priced options ($45--$75). The service is friendly and the ambience casual but refined. A great place for wine and a snack or for a full meal.
