Delancey Street Restaurant

I just moved to the area and I'm so happy to have discovered this place. Not only do they have a beautiful dining room and large patio, but they also allow dogs! Inside and out! They also brought them some ribs free of charge, what service!! That gives you 5 stars off the start. But the food was also super tasty and the prices are very inexpensive. I felt like I was in the 90's. I got the meatloaf and it was delicious! Highly highly recommend!

This place is great! Everyone is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, and knowing that the restaurant supports the Delancey Street Foundation and helps people rebuild their lives makes the experience even more meaningful 😊😊

I went to Delancey Street Restaurant with my friend, and we’re both in ninth grade. The food was amazing and surprisingly affordable, which we really appreciated. However, the atmosphere made us feel uncomfortable from the moment we walked in. We were stared at in silence, and it immediately felt like we didn’t really belong there. Our waiter was polite and respectful, but many of the other staff members seemed tense, quiet, or unsure how to interact with us. Throughout the meal, we kept getting looks that added to the awkward vibe. It wasn’t aggressive, just not welcoming. I respect the mission of the restaurant and think the food is genuinely great, but based on our visit, the service and atmosphere could be much more warm and inviting, especially for younger customers.

We had dinner on 11-22. Our server mike had the best vibe. So friendly and nice! Food was amazing! Atmosphere always pleasant!! 5 star dining on a 3 star price! Always great food and vibe at every visit!

Lovely spot for a tasty (and quite affordable) meal with a strong mission. Delancey Street Restaurant is run by one of SF’s oldest halfway houses and serves as a way for people re-entering society to reacclimate to work and build up their resume. The staff (all of whom are residents at the halfway houses) are all outstanding and super friendly, and the food is delicious. I will admit that their meat-based options are better than the vegetarian / seafood options, so it’s an especially good deal if you enjoy your meats. I visited Delancey Street Restaurant for dinner with a few friends and we split their onion strings, roasted shishito peppers, scallops, crab cakes, Singaporean noodles with tofu, and Moroccan vegetable stew. The onion strings are a Delancey classic — unlike traditional onion rings, they’re cut into thin strips (strings, as the name suggests), which makes them extra crispy when fried. The shishito peppers are also amazing and are perfectly roasted, especially when topped with a squeeze of lemon. The entrees are all amazing, although, again, the meat-based ones are their specialty for a reason. Of the four entrees we tried, my favorite had to be the scallops — the scallops were beautifully seared, with a nice crunchy exterior shell and super tender center. The scallops were served on top of a mix of roasted corn and chickpeas, which was also super tasty. I loved the sweet pops of corn, especially with the added smokiness from the charring, and the chickpeas were a great bit of added protein and starch. The portions are also really generous, so you’ll definitely leave here happy and full.

I have to say, I was a bit underwhelmed. This was my first time eating here, and I will give it another try, but i definitely won't be ordering the same items as this visit. The saving grace for me was definitely the wait staff, all smiles, honest reviews of the food, and helpful up until the last minute. The food: The deviled eggs were great, but making deviled eggs isn't rocket science, but you get 3 halves, odd... why not 4? cutting an egg in half yields two halves. The Matzo Ball soup - In my mind, a travesty, quite possibly the worst I've ever had. It was so over complicated, I didn't / nor couldn't finish the broth. Matzo Ball soup excels in it's simplicity, and in all my years of Passover, that was the soggiest Matzo Ball ever. Lastly, one ball in a bowl of soup? A cup I could understand. My thought was if there is one, it had better be epic. This wasn't epic. I couldn't decide on a entree, so I ordered two. The Pork Chop and as a reminder of my childhood, the London Broil. I couldn't remember the last time I had London Broil. The London Broil was very tasty, yet not exactly Hot. From other reviews it seems like keeping food hot is an ongoing issue, and with the Pork taking the longest, the LB suffered a bit. The Spinach looked very unappetizing, to me green beans would have been a better pairing. The Pork Chop was a bit fatty for my liking, and the sides confused me. Sweet Snow Peas, I was not expecting that. Though the cook on the pork was solid. Lastly the Ice Cream Sundae, very tasty and probably my own fault very messy. Hot fudge is made in house, and it tastes different, but a good different. My date got the Sea Bass, and Kale with Parmesan. The Kale looked odd to me, but she enjoyed it. Overall it got a B-/C+ but i'll give it another shot, and I'm told the burger is solid, and the ribs. Eating out is one of my favorite activities, but this is the first time in a long time I have gone to a new place in SF.

Highly recommend coming here! The food is tasty, great value for money, and the service is amazing. All the staff are extremely kind, genuine, and welcoming. The kale parmesan appetizer is really yummy, and so is the grilled cheese sandwich. Definitely pop by if you’re in the area and looking for good food, comfy ambiance, and top notch service.

Delancey Street Restaurant is a great spot with a relaxed, welcoming vibe that immediately makes you feel comfortable. It’s the kind of place that works well for both casual meals and meeting up with friends. The food was solid and enjoyable, with a menu that offers a good variety of options. Everything we tried was well prepared and satisfying, making it an easy place to recommend for a dependable meal. The atmosphere really adds to the experience. There’s a positive energy throughout the space that feels laid-back yet lively, making it a nice place to sit and enjoy your time without feeling rushed. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the visit even better. Everyone was welcoming and helpful, adding to the overall easygoing feel of the restaurant. The location is another big plus. It’s within walking distance of so many things, making it a convenient stop whether you’re exploring the area or just looking for a good place to eat nearby. Delancey Street Restaurant delivers good food, good vibes, and a great location definitely worth checking out.

Delancey Street Foundation and Restaurant say it best themselves, I'll just chime in at the end: "Delancey Street Restaurant is a key training school of the Delancey Street Foundation, the country's largest self-help residential organization for people who have hit bottom to completely rebuild their lives. Like the immigrants who came through Ellis Island to Delancey Street on New York's Lower East Side at the turn of the century to start new lives, newcomers to Delancey Street Foundation are "immigrants" of all races, all ages, all backgrounds, who come together in this community of last resort. For 40 years, Delancey Street has provided a home and all services to thousands of residents at no cost to the client and no cost to the taxpayer. We earn our money through enterprises such as this restaurant which train our residents and also support our operation. All tips are considered donations, and all restaurant proceeds after food costs go directly to house, feed and clothe our residents and teach all skills, values and attitudes needed for a successful drug-free and crime-free life in the mainstream society. Since we opened in 1991, the Delancey Street Restaurant has received wonderful responses from the press, from television, and most importantly from our customers. Repeat diners comprise most of our business ..." A friend took me to Delancey knowing I'd want to support their mission AND dine in the outdoor patio (best ambiance IMO) AND enjoy quality menu items. I tell people about Delancey not just because of the food - because of the mission + the food. Encouraging everyone reading this to show them some support when you're in SF.

Brunch before the Game ! So if you're in recovery or other things like that you probably know about Delancey Street Foundation. This is a place that takes people out of prison and teaches them how to live life again, also takes people off the streets to recover from drug abuse. This is their San Francisco restaurant that's so so good. Everyone working here is changing their life's. Also the prices are unbelievably reasonable. You can get stuff here for $10 to $15 that would cost you $30 to $50 in other places. I just had 26yrs clean on Aug 13, 2025. If any of you guy that are here living & learning read this. You can also do this. I went from a garbage pale drug addict doing the Jails, Institutions, & Death (ODing more then once) ! To a member of society that owned my own business, raised a daughter on my own, & has a real comfortable life ! There has been many bumps in the road. But I made it. Thank You Everyone here at Delancy Street ! You Rule ! PS....our waiter ruled !

Really solid menu. There is a lot of variety and the prices are the best I've found in the area. I had a great seasonal harvest salad and added chicken to it.

Came for dinner before the SF Giant game on a random Tuesday night. Read about their mission and wanted to support them! It was too windy/chilly to sit outside so we sat inside the huge labyrinth of a restaurant. Decked in fresh flowers, tablecloths, servers dressed up, and "old school vibes", I wasn't sure we could afford to eat here. I was quickly proven wrong with the very affordable prices! Service was professional and efficient. Food ranged in enjoyment, with my patty melt being the best thing we ate. I had an affinity for the bagel chips! It reminded me of high days and buying a bag of them at the cafeteria. Patty melt was perfectly cooked, nice and cheesy, not greasy. The sweet potato fries were just what one would hope for when ordering those. Crispy an salted! Desserts ordered - apple crip and another I forget the name of....but it was cheesecakey and snickery and delicious! The apples probably could've used another 10-15 mins of baking as they were quite al dente but the cinnamon-y flavory was nice. For growth purposes: 2 people ordered the fish and chips and both felt the same - the fish was *much* too soft, wrong type of fish for this preparation. A firmer fish like cod is necessary to hold up to the batter and frying for "fish and chips." Pan frying other fishes for piccata or similar is fine but not for this. Maybe it was an off day but it was terrible. Overall, a wonderful cause, a positive experience and would encourage everyone to support them.

I love this place and have been here a number of times over the years. This time we stopped by for a late breakfast before the Giants game. I had straight up bacon and eggs and my cousin had a steak and eggs. Everything was fresh, the coffee was great and our server was super friendly and attentive. The prices here are really reasonable and the portions are good. I absolutely love their mission and I encourage anyone nearby to try it out!

My new fave spot. Service, food, prices, location. Spot on. I recommend this place to all my friends n fam.

Came for brunch before the SF Giant game in early Spring. The inside is huge and very classy. We wanted to sit outside for the fair weather, and got the best seat in the house at the most North corner, closest to the Bay Bridge. Bloody Mary and Ginger Beer - both were very tasty and gave a strong kick. Makes this meal an official brunch. Ruben Sandwich was generous with meat and cheese, definitely a hardy sandwich. Mushroom and cheese omelette was par for me. Overall a wonderful experience and would love to come again.

We found out about this place after a random stranger stopped us in Golden Gate Park and told us about it. He said he highly recommended it for the quality of food that you get for the price. What he didn't tell us about is its fantastic mission: the restaurant is a training school of the Delancey Street Foundation, the country's largest self-help residential organization for people who have hit rock bottom to completely rebuild their lives. Tips are considered donations, and all restaurant proceeds after food costs go directly to house, feed and clothe their residents and teach skills, values and attitudes needed for a successful drug-free and crime-free life in the mainstream society at no cost to taxpayers! Wow! We were warmly welcomed when we walked in and directly shown to a table. It was approaching lunch time and the place was just starting to get busy. Our server was a friendly and hardworking! My husband and I enjoyed our hearty lunches. Mine was grilled cheese and tomato soup which came with potatoes/home fries and a pickle. My husband had a grilled chicken breast sandwich. For reasonably priced, tasty food while supporting a great cause, we highly recommend Delancey Street Restaurant.

Stopped there for lunch today. The special was fish and chips and I couldn't resist. Perfectly crispy cod and piping hot fries. I asked for coleslaw because I felt guilty about not eating veg. It occurs to me that if you're ever on this side of town, this restaurant is a great place for a casual, quiet business lunch. And you feel good about their mission and bringing folks back to society after incarceration.

Food was average at best. Absolutely a tourist trap. But service was okay. A little slow considering they weren't busy on a Tuesday night

I love their ambiance, it has a very good view of the Bay Bridge. The commute is super easy as it is right in front of the Brannan Muni stop. They have an outdoor seating option too. We had the Soicy Crispy Chickpeas which were very good. And we had the Singapore Veg Noodles w Tofu (but they didn't have any tofu), it was good, had a lot of veggies as described but I didn't think it was spicy at all for my palette and my friend had the Vegan/ Veg Oaxacan Bowl. I liked her dish better, especially the Pecans were so good and it was very flavourful dish for me. We also got the tiramisu which was nice. They have good portions and the staff was very attentive and polite. Would definitely go again.

I love this place. Not only is the food FANTASTIC, but the prices are super reasonable (cheap by SF standards), the service is kind and attentive, and the location is gorgeous--right by the water with tons of parking and just off the N. It's formal enough inside to take a date, but casual enough to totally get away with jeans and a t-shirt. It's also a nice place to sit and chat while you eat--there's no loud music or people ushering you out quickly to turn over the table. MUST GET: tomato soup, arugula beet salad, butterscotch pudding, ginger bread (it's a ginger cake). I'm a vegetarian, but my meat-eating sister recommends the lamb shank, lamb burger, and the meatloaf. I bring a lot of out-of-towners here, since I know it'll be a great experience through and through. I only wish they had that focaccia available throughout the day, instead of just during dinner.

I had the waffles with an omelet, house potatoes, and toast! The waffles were not soft/soggy, it was crispy and not hard or too dense. The omelet was cooked just right. The potatoes were baked to be soft on the inside had mild garlic seasoning. The service was fantastic, and the atmosphere felt inviting. The location made it even better with that beautiful bay breeze.

Absolutely solid classic American Diner breakfast, however the whole aesthetic of the restaurant felt very fancy and upscale which was unexpected considering the insanely reasonable prices. I haven't seen a sit down this affordable and our service was amazing. All the workers were very personable and willing to help. Was it the best breakfast I've ever had? Probably not but I have to rate this place extremely high considering the bang for your buck as a man who loves a good deal, especially in SF. Mimosa was great too. 4.3/5

Love the concept of this restaurant and the support given to folks who need to have some help to learn some skills that they can use to survive. That being said, I would definitely come back to give them as much business as possible. Service was great considering that everyone working there is being trained on the job. The waiters (all male) were very accommodating and polite. A few missteps, but nothing major. Now about the food. Everyone seemed to be happy with what they ordered. I don't think any of it was high end dining, but it was certainly worth the price and then some! I had the steak and eggs for $14.95. It came with country potatoes, a thin cut ribeye steak, and two eggs, which I had over easy. It was certainly enough food and very enjoyable, but the steak was a bit more cooked than I liked. One dining companion had a huge burger that looked juicy and delicious; it came with country potatoes, and all the fixings. The prices of all the dishes couldn't be beat. Grilled salmon was $19.95. Instead of bread and butter on the table, they had bagel chips and butter; so addicting! They were very generous with the refills on the bagel chips, too. They even gave us a cup of their clam chowder to sample with as many spoons as we needed for everyone at the table; I know what I'll be ordering next time I go! I will definitely be back. Great prices, great concept, and great service!

Five stars for mission, but the food, service and value are outstanding and also worth the five stars. I've known about this place since I moved to the Bay Area and have walked by so many times, but finally stopped in and I'm so glad I did. The menu is fantastic with lots of hearty, comfort food (I had the meatloaf), the service is amazing and the portions (including wine pours) are very generous. If you're not aware, the entire restaurant is staffed by people who are recovering from all sorts of life traumas, e.g., prison, drugs, abuse, etc. and have made new lives for themselves thanks to the people who founded and run the organization that supports the restaurant. That alone is why you should come here, but for sure, the entire experience is totally worth it.

Classy ambiance, clean restaurant, employees are all polite, attentive, and dressed very well. Incredibly reasonable prices on a wide variety of dishes, appetizers, soups and salads. Really enjoyed my visit and absolutely will be back again! Daniel, Efrain, and Victor were so kind and just all around positive professional attitudes. Victor was incredibly attentive and the best service I have experienced in a restaurant in years. The Manager, and the lady bar tender were also very kind and ensured satisfaction. Loved the meatloaf, mashed potatoes were superb, green beans tasty! The potato latkes were so good! To the point I saved most of my dinner! Now for desert, and what an amazing variety here as well! The old fashioned Hot Fudge sundae looks like the old ice cream shops big portion! I am going to try the crème brûlée or the chocolate mousse! With the hand whipped cream of course! Such an incredible program, Delancy Street. You can see what miracles these people truly are, and the real lasting impact Delancy Street has had in their lives. Absolutely will be back soon! Parking is easy which is rare in San Francisco, indoor and outdoor seating. Beautiful! Leaving Delancy Street Restaurant I have a full heart and tummy Five Stars for sure! Reminds me of the fancy restaurants my father would take me too in late 1980's and early 1990's when service, attention, and good food was still a thing! Now they have dimmed the lights and it is so romantic an

Gosh it's been a few years, 15 years? Where did the years go? Walked from Ferry Building among the Giants fan going to the game against the Nationals. We lost 4-2 , but it was a gorgeous day out for a walk. We were heading to Town's End but saw Delancey Street. Fond memories. We sat and sat and sat. No water, no attention. That proved to be our entire experience. 4 stars for believing in their program and the food was good, but 3 stars for the experience of waving down seevers to get their attention. One server was more hard working then the original guy who took our orders. The table next to us came after us got their food faster. Go figure. Each time we needed something, we had to wave someone down. We exercised our arms and watched for the rare sighting of a server. Eventually we got our drinks, our water, bagel slices, and butter. We had to ask about our entrees. No bueno when the other people are enjoying their brisket sandwich ($12), which was good except it had a lot of fat. The breakfast potatoes with pepper were good. The fried chicken sandwich had way too much mayonnaise cole slaw. Not good. Had we known we would have asked for no cole slaw at all. The chicken was crispy. The prices was amazingly cheap in today's standards. We splurged on a slice of pecan pie ($5.95). At first glance, I was afraid it was super sweet. But tastewise, it was a pecan custard pie, not too sweet. I had a passion fruit ice tea. Drank 3 glasses waiting for our food. All the ice melted which shows you how long we were there. People came and went. We were not in a hurry. I sang two Happy Birthday songs. I enjoyed the AC. Kept watching the parade of Giants fans walk to the game. Such loyal fans all decked in orange and black. Go Giants.

Extra points for mission. Food always reliable, service usually entertaining. Always a great spot to (1) commiserate after a Giants loss, or (2) celebrate a Giants win. Great neighborhood spot, excellent patio with great bridge view.

Anna was a great server. My party and I were sat immediately and service was prompt. Food was delicious, my whole table absolutely enjoyed every bite. The chocolate mousse was amazing. Definitely worth checking out. Good prices too especially for a restaurant on the Embarcadero with such a beautiful view of the bridge. Although it may seem fancy casual clothes are just fine. Thanks again, I will definitely be returning.

Saltimbocca tasted the same every bite, dessert was standard. Nothing stands out on the menu but seemed healthy. Home made ginger beer was quite strong

This place is awesome. They must have some kind of deal with the city to be to charge the low prices they do. They've a program where they give people 2nd chances to work there, our waiter was a prior convict. Super cool program and we found all the service to be great and the food really stellar. I had the tuna melt and it was super tasty. Would absolutely come back.

What a great Mission! I'd come to eat here even if the food wasn't good just to support them. We had no idea what we were walking in to. The inside is fancy, I felt under dressed just coming from a Giants game. Outside seating was also nice. The service was great. I could tell our server was getting a little overwhelmed because the patio was full. The price of the food was almost unbelievable. The presentation made it feel fancy as well. Yes, it did take sometime to receive our food, and my sons was forgotten. Once I read the back of the menu and learned about the mission, I had a little more patience's and grace for the staff. They were all great and you could tell they all were trying their best. We will definitely be back to support this place.

Affordable price, amazing vibes (indoor and outdoor), terrific view of the bay bridge, and friendly staff! The business idea behind this is also amazing - it's operated by a foundation dedicated to rebuild people's lives. Make sure to check out its history. I'll definitely try to come back whenever I'm nearby. Minestrone soup was great and heartwarming. Seafood jumbo was also great!

Amazing spot for group dining. They allow you to make reservations beforehand, and they were really accommodating when we needed to adjust the number last minute. When we got there, the tables was setup really nicely - flowers in vases, bread and butter at every section, and utensils set. We had ~15 people here for brunch, and everything came out relatively quickly. For how popular this spot is and considering that we're in SF, the food was priced really affordably. I got the Southwestern chicken hash, and the flavors went together very well but it was very underseasoned (thankfully fixed it with some salt at the table). Will probably go back to try some other dishes.

Visited for a work trip and they were able to accommodate all 17 of us with a reservation at 5:45. Love this mission for this place. The servers were very friendly and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed regularly. The restaurant was spacious and had a lot of windows which gave it a really nice atmosphere. They have a limited drink menu and only offer certain cocktails, but they have a decent wine selection. I did not like my pesto pasta dish. It looked nice but it was bland, a tad watery and too al dente for my taste. That said, many of my coworkers liked their dishes, particularly those that got a salad or a fish dish. All in all it was a decent experience because the venue and staff were so nice but I would certainly try a different meal next time.

One of the best places to get brunch/lunch on a weekend in SF. Sit outside and soak up the sun. Best bagel and lox in SF. Best fried chicken sandwich. House made Bagel chips and butter (and jam if you ask) to start - YUM. Staff is amazing, friendly. Great mission and purpose too. My wife and I have been coming for years - SF institution.

This is the nicest little gem in SF. The only issue I have is that I seem to always show up on a Monday even though I am well aware they are always closed on Mondays. My bad! The food is consistently good. There isn't much atmosphere, but it is a nice, non touristy local spot.

Good bang for your buck - it's a classic American dinner with the aesthetic of a classy restaurant. Prices were great and food came out quick. I got down with the complimentary bagel chips that they give you and the Eggs Benedict wasn't bad

Great little breakfast spot with really cheap prices. Typical diner vibes but the staff is very nice and wholesome. I would say you are getting what you pay for in terms of food, it's not amazing food but it does the job and is worth the price! Mimosa was the only thing I got a picture of which was good but u also had the eggs Benedict and I really enjoyed that as well!

Great atmosphere and great food! Our server was very kind and the service was quick! The prices were so good and the food tasted great. Waiter handled the allergens presented greatly and made sure there wouldn't be an issue. Highly recommend!

We've lived by here for a bit and I've always wanted to try. Came on a Saturday morning for brunch (ok it was more like noon) and I am so pleased! First and foremost, the staff is great. Professional servers and good speed. I'm happy to support this organization and those who they impact! Second, the prices are surprisingly less expensive than normal! We got two full dishes and drinks for $36! This is less than what we spent on a very expensive bagel place in the city that will not be named. This feels like the prices I remember from like a decade ago and how I wish all food prices were at restaurants. Third, flavor was very good and in line with expectations. Their bagel chips they bring the table for free were surprisingly addictive. I only managed to take a picture when there was one left because I had eaten at least three before thinking about it .. my eggs benedict was delicious. Good thick ham/Canadian bacon. Yummy sauce (probably from the premix, but I am not complaining because it's a hit every time). The addition of an olive on top was an interesting choice. The breakfast potatoes were great. My only request would be that the mix of peppers should be chopped smaller. These look like and probably are the stuff they use on sandwiches and the like. Totally fine, but for breakfast potatoes it's nice to have finer diced veggies to get each flavor in every bite of potato. My partner's omelet was also yummy. Eggs were nice and fluffy and not overcooked. No hot sauce outside of tobasco. For the first two reasons alone, it's enough to recommend this place to everyone and bring family when they come to visit. But the food being good makes it even better and easier to say yes to becoming a regular to support this institution. All around great job!

Service was good,attentive and timely. Caesar salad could be improved greatly. Crepes could be softer and maybe a sauce? Location is very nice

Very affordable place to eat. Located between the Ferry Building and Oracle Park and you get incredible views of the Bay on the windows and the outdoor patio. Will definitely be back and try their dinner!

The food and service were excellent. The prices were very reasonable. Also, the restaurant was clean and very nicely designed and organized.

We arrived right at 10am when they opened and were seated right away. Marco got us drinks promptly and accommodated our requests for vegan modifications. Great staff and a gorgeous restaurant 12/10 will always recommend

I absolutely loved this place! Clean, fancy and servers are super friendly and attentive. The food delicious, best beers and prices are super reasonable. There's so much to say about Delancey street but I think the word AMAZING explains it all! THANK YOU DELANCEY!

Great service and a mission. Lots of quality food. Rehab with tablecloths and a great attitude.

I went for steak and eggs, the steak was paper thin. This was my second time going in two days, I went yesterday for lunch and had the full rack of baby back ribs and they were dry, if for the barbecue sauce I would of asked for something else. This place is no different from going to Denny's. The wait staff are very friendly and that was the only reason I went back.

An hour for a burger- food was TASTELESS! Roasted cauliflower- pass it's not roasted it's steam with a sugar ladened sweet chili oil - they don't even give you a full pickle spears - I mean leave the pickle off the plate if things are that tough! Although, the pickle has some flavor- server was nice - but seemed overwhelmed with the few people in the restaurant- nice view

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic time here ! The food was delicious, the ambience was perfect, and our server, Francis, was amazing, attentive, friendly, and made our night even better. We definitely recommend dining here !! :)

Holiday Lunch for five friends is convivial and easily organized with its comfortable ambiance and excellent service. The menu satisfies everyone - a good value for senior budgets; Buttermilk fried chicken sandwich, Reuben sandwich, Roasted Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese sandwich, Cold Smoked Trout & Salmon Platter, Patty Melt.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to report an unpleasant experience I had at the Delancey Street Restaurant at 600 Embarcadero Street involving a host named James on April 4, 2025. I arrived at 6:00 PM for dinner and was seated behind the host desk next to a loud, rowdy group of sports fans who had just attended a game at Oracle Stadium. I politely asked James if we could be moved to a quieter table. He offered us a table outdoors on the patio. However, when my dinner guest arrived, strong gusts of wind began blowing our napkins and menus off the table. We were clearly uncomfortable and requested to move indoors. James appeared annoyed and visibly irritated. His response was, "I hope this is the last time," before reluctantly escorting us to an indoor table. As a senior citizen and a donor to the Delancey Foundation, I was both intimidated by his imposing presence and deeply disappointed by his disrespectful and dismissive behavior. His demeanor came across as hostile and unwelcoming, which was not only inappropriate but also inconsistent with the values I associate with the Delancey Street Foundation. I believe James would greatly benefit from additional training on how to treat all patrons--especially those from diverse backgrounds--with courtesy, dignity, and respect. Sincerely, A Concerned Patron and Supporter of the Delancey Street Foundation

Came for dinner purely to get some appetizers to close off our night - everything was great! I loved the calamari, salmon potato bites, and crispy onions in particular. The staff were very attentive and gave us plenty of recommendations as new comers. The restaurant itself is very well maintained as well

That Delancey Reuben was PHENOMENAL!!! Thanks so much to the kitchen staff, absolutely hit the spot! Our water server, Michael, is noteworthy to mention. He was really personable and helpful. I highly recommend ordering the Reuben sandwich with fries. It was so moist! And the MADE FRESH DAILY focaccia bread didn't disappoint! I totally understand why my mom loves Delancey Street Restaurant. The restaurant is as kept up as it can be, I'm sure rent is steep while I enjoyed the few intimate restaurant goers, it would be so fun to have a party here one day (soon). The only downside is the parking situation. But it was totally better than ballpark food. Thanks so much you guys! Loved how clean the bathrooms were also. If you can't stand crowds, I suggest going on a weekday. I dropped in on Thursday, 6/20/24, around 3:10pm. Looove it!!

Always a nice local place with reasonable prices. Service is good and always a great place before an SF Giants game.

I have never been here - and was unaware of its mission, which is to rehabilitate the unhoused, former substance abusers and those who have served time in prison. I was also unaware that this place is a non-profit, so the meals are subsidized and pretty inexpensive (for SF anyway). 5 of us met for brunch on a Sunday - and sat outside with beautiful views of the bay. The service can be a little uneven, but the servers are learning a trade, so it is fine. Expect to wait a bit for things, especially on busy days like Giants games. I had the winner meal of the table, the fried chicken sandwich. It was a huge sandwich, the chicken was VERY crispy, served with slaw on a bun. I would say the bun could have been a tad fresher, but the chicken was so good, it could be forgiven. I would have preferred the sweet potato fries, but not available for brunch. The potatoes were forgettable. Also, the website is a little annoying, it is not Mobile-optimized, and there is no menu to be found, so if you are looking for a menu - your best bet is to just check the Yelp menu photos.

Fantastic spot! A friend told us about it and about the mission and history of Delancey street and we knew we had to come. Randy was our server and was phenomenal and our food was delicious!! From the looks of it as we were walking by, it looks like it could be another pretentious SF restaurant that is has decent food but is over priced but this place really has reasonable food prices, the staff and the food were very fantastic, and again just the history of this place and the work that it strives to do is heartwarming and fantastic. Definitely recommend!
