"A dinner party pop-up that combines meet-up culture with exceptional culinary experiences. Founded by Sean Reynolds and Megan Sapack, Dostee offers affordable, intimate five-course meals with drink pairings, highlighting local ingredients and connections." - Paolo Bicchieri
"After a long pandemic pause, Mr. Pollo took up the roost once again in the Mission. This time it’s chef Graham Bellefeuille in the kitchen but he’s still kicking out four-course meals for $49. Fans can count on the second course being an arepa, an homage to the space’s previous life as a South American restaurant. Beyond that though, Bellefeuille rotates the menu every week to highlight what’s growing fresh." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
"Mr. Pollo isn’t like the other prix fixe places in SF. It kind of feels like you’re eating at a friend’s place who just really likes to cook rather than a real restaurant. It’s $30 for a four-course meal that typically includes a salad, an arepa, a main course, and a dessert. The arepa is huge and would probably cost half the meal at another spot in SF, but you’re not at another spot, you’re in a tiny eight-seat place that looks like a stove fell into a college dorm room, eating one of the most interesting meals in the city." - will kamensky
"Mr. Pollo is an eight-seat restaurant decorated with Giants memorabilia and outsider art, and the two guys who run the place spend the meal joking around and cracking open beers. Coming here feels more like you’re being cooked for by a couple of close friends (who may or may not be in a punk band) than sitting at a four-course prix fixe dinner. In other words, this spot is perfect if you’re tired of the typical candle-lit date night. The menu changes regularly, but it’s always great and your meal will only cost $30 per person - it’s one of the best deals in SF." - will kamensky
"The tiny tasting menu restaurant re-opened in December after a long pandemic closure. A four-course meal costs $40, featuring a weekly changing loosely South American menu with a soup or appetizer, signature second-course arepa, a main dish (such as braised duck leg with accompaniments), and dessert. The restaurant underwent cosmetic updates and reservations can be made through Yelp." - Lauren Saria
