Rise & Set

Very cute and stylish brunch spot on Polk. They take reservations starting from 4 people so two of us + a baby in a stroller needed to get on a waiting list which was really short on a Saturday noon so we got a table in 5 minutes. We ordered Buttermilk fried chicken Benedict and lamb croissant. Both were delicious and fresh, lots of veggies on a side and the presentation was excellent too! Service was fast and friendly and the total vibe was nice and relaxed. Definitely a place to come back! I’d say it’s pretty kids friendly too.

We really enjoyed this new restaurant in the Polk Street area. Everything is well thought out and the portion quite generous. Very comfortable seating with terrific focus on services. I love their ceramic mugs and places. The combination of Thai and Australia cuisine in their menu are unique. Highly recommend it!

Top notch breakfast and service! 5 star experience from start to finish. The interior is very bright, cherry and welcoming and we found the service to be superb. The food was Amezing. I had pretty big bacon and Shashuka both were delicious. My friends had big breakfast, waffle and smash wagyu beef were very tasty and presented, beautifully! Overall the food, drinks, service and interiors were all great! We will be back again. Honestly, just go and see for yourself. This place is awesome.

Wow!!! This place is a hidden gem, I am here for a conference and went to yoga down the street and omg it was so amazing! The presentation of the food was stunning and there was no one there so I do truly hope it’s here next year when I come! The atmosphere is stunning and because I was the only one the service was just as good! I am coming back tomorrow! It is well worth the drive or uber or bike ride! I had both the nova salmon and the thai french toast! Both were fantastic but the salmon toast was just divine.

Such a cute spot. Went here for a weekday breakfast at lunch time for the first time. Nice decor, comfortable and clean. Great food. I got the salmon steak. It was so good. Salmon was cooked well, loved the sweet potato puree and combo of veggies prepared in different ways

Check out this new soft opening brunch in town! Nice girlie atmosphere Great fries! Edible crying tiger specials and smash burger. Huge portion. Love their motto "full tummy makes you happy" Nice lattes and drinks

This place is amazing. We saw they just opened and decided to stop by. The restaurant is beautiful and so comfy. The food was everything we wanted and more. Had the best tai iced and snowy coffee. The burger I had is easily in my top 3 list in SF. The staff was so kind and quick with everything. This is a must stop and is easily be the best brunch off Polk

We came to rise and set on May 17th. We arrived close to the end of their lunch time. I would say maybe an hour and thirty minutes before they closed. There was about four other tables already seated when we got there and we were seated quite quickly. Considering the amount of tables still seated at the restaurant when we arrived, the frequency of checking in on us was not a lot. After the server took our order we did have to flag them down a few times to get more water and then to get our check as well. The space itself was still practically brand new as it hadn't only been open for a few months. Beautiful interior, there were some very nice light fixtures throughout the restaurant, and even the cutlery and tableware were very appealing to the eyes. Regarding the food overall the food was good but it was definitely missing a little bit of that flavor punch needed. For example the ribeye I got was a bit chewy and was lacking flavor when it came to a little bit more salt maybe a little citrus or acid to really brighten up the other herbs that were used to marinate the meat prior to cooking. The burger was cooked perfectly but it did need a little extra seasoning either salt pepper or a little spice to bring out the flavors of the meat. I will say the fries were delicious though perfectly crispy on the outside, with a little bit of softness in the middle. We almost ordered a third serving of those. Overall I would say good atmosphere, generally good service, food was good needed a little extra spice for some things and with the ribeye it should not be chewy.

SOOO GOOD!! you're missing out if you don't try this place!! Stumbled upon this place while walking around with my husband and saw their sign that said soft opening- The interior is beautifully decorated, very chic and modern. While they were only open for 3 days before we ate there, I can tell this place is going to be a great spot for a lot of people. The food is so so so good. Our server, Diamond was amazing. Very friendly and attentive. He recommended us to try their bacon and we were not disappointed. I usually don't like bacon but I ate it all bc it was so good. I had the French toast and it was so delicious. One of my favorite French toasts I've ever had. They even gave us a complimentary pancake stack to try after our meal and it was equally as delicious. Pls open one in LA !! LOL

I recommend this restaurant. The food is very delicious. The staffs are nice and the place is very beautiful.

Beautiful decor, amazing attentive staff, and delicious food! Wonderful atmosphere, too. You won't be disappointed- I give this little gem a 10/10.

A warm and relaxing oasis on Polk Street. Love the little design details all around. Fresh but not fussy. Food was delicious. Mushroom Benedict and Tom Yum spaghetti were our favorites. Bacon was very tasty as well. Staff were all friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back soon to try more of the menu! Great addition to the neighborhood!

Sandwiches don't excite me, they remind me of the SADwiches my mom packed me for lunch. A slice of Bar S deli meat in-between two slices of burnt toast. No cheese. No condiments. No veggies. Mmmm, tastes like punishment! Yea, so I don't seek out sandwiches much. But, Rise & Set had me at their Crying Tiger Sandwich! But more on that later. Soft opening over the weekend, Rise & Set is a new brunch spot in Polk Gulch from the owner of Thai Spice. They took over the Modern Thai spot. Open for takeout and indoor dining. I believe it's walk-in only. It hasn't blown up on socials yet so it was very quiet during my weekday lunch visit. M E N U Aussie-Style Brunch with a Thai Twist. Aussie brunches focuses on fresh, seasonal produce and healthy options like smashed avocado on toast, smoked salmon, halloumi cheese, and poached eggs. And, quality coffee is a must. Think Bluestone Lane with some Thai fusion dishes - tartine, benedicts, omelets, salad, burgers, sandwiches, pastas, sweets (pancakes, waffles, french toast), and more. No alkie (liquor license pending?). F O O D * Crying Tiger Sandwich: 8 oz Grilled Marinated Steak w/ little gem, mint, green onions, cilantro, housemade num-tok butter, roasted rice powder, toasted sourdough ($28): https://tinyurl.com/489nf7xz - Served w/ fries - Requested medium rare Other than seeing chefluencers make this on TikTok, this is the first time seeing Crying Tiger in sandwich form in a resto. The Crying Tiger ribeye is marinated in a classic Thai sauce called nam jim jeaw made with tamarind, fish sauce, chiles, herbs, and toasted rice powder. The result? Tender, juicy cuts of well-marbled ribeye with explosive yet balanced flavors of salty, sour, sweet, and sour with a slight kick and delicious roasty flavor from the rice powder. The generous portion of ribeye was sandwiched between buttery toasted sourdough. It was messy to eat with slices of ribeye falling onto the plate but it was worth getting my hands dirty. If I had to nitpick, it could have been spicier or served with a side of thai chili powder to doctor to your liking. Served with freshly fried battered fries with a creamy, tangy ketchup-mayo dipping sauce. Well-seasoned, extra crunchy on the outside and airy soft on the inside. S E R V I C E Polite, friendly, and warm Thai hospitality from Fa and the chef. Food did take a bit to come out but they're brand new. A M B I A N C E Beautifully renovated space, stylish minimalism with neutral colors, white exposed brick walls, and plants throughout. There's about 12 tables in the main dining room and 4 tables in the completely enclosed front patio (more like an extension of the resto). Instrumental music playlist. P A R K I N G Challenging street parking. Polk/Bush Garage is a block away (1399 Bush). Overall, there's no shortage of great brunch spots in the city including Thai-American Fusion spots but Rise & Set has some unique dishes that set them apart like their Thai spin on pasta carbonara with Thai chili that I'm coming back for!

Wow! New Cute and cozy breakfast & brunch coming into town SF! Sadly I can't make it up today but at least grabbed some coffee for quick stop. Menu looks great to try on! Cant wait to make time experiencing their food here soon!

Immediately walking in I noticed the excellent decor and attention to details. There's lots of natural light and cool plants. The space feels chill and welcoming. My girlfriend and I ordered the Crying Tiger sandwich and the King Mushroom tartine. Both dishes were really tasty and thoughtfully done. Our lattes were super smooth. Definitely will be back.

This new breakfast spot on Polk is a must try!! Rise and Set has everything from the delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, and good location on polk. The staff were lovely and friendly. I even met with the owner who was extremely courteous! The food was beautifully decorated and the taste was excellent. 10/10

We went to brunch here and immediately loved the interior decoration and we were very warmly greeted by the staff! The buttermilk fried chicken Benedict blew us away it was crispy and so tasty. The French toast was incredible and I loved the raspberry sauce. We also got some complimentary pancakes that we enjoyed as well. Overall the food, drinks, and ambience were all great! We will be sure to come back soon to see the friendly staff and try the rest of the menu :)

This is a newly opened breakfast restaurant that is worth a try. The decoration of this restaurant looks good. The food is delicious. I like the French toast here.

Delicious food and friendly service. I got the crying tiger sandwich medium rare and husband got the buttermilk fried chicken benedict. Both were delicious. The french fries/home fries were really good too. Fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Highly recommend!

Happened to find this place while visiting SF, and was well worth the time! Girlfriend and I shared the Benedict Fried Chicken and a French Toast, along with a Mocha and a Snowy Coffee - all were delicious. Both the ladies serving us were very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot

A great new brunch spot! My partner and I split the French toast which was divine. The raspberry sauce was lovely to balance out the sweetness. He had the dry chili pasta and loved it. I had the fried chicken Benedict which came with potatoes and salad. The matcha latte was delicious and they gave us Thai iced teas to go which was a nice touch. The service and atmosphere was phenomenal. Definitely recommend!

BEST brunch spot! Found this place completely by accident, it was my wife and I's last day in San Fran and was looking for a certain thrift store. Walked the wrong way, and while turning back we got lured in by the waffle & chicken, the French toast, and the beautiful decor. I had the waffle and chicken and it was perfect. The balance was great, the pickles, the sauce, and the kale really offset the usual heaviness that comes from chicken n waffles. I was full halfway through, but finished it because it was good lol, maybe share if you're gonna order it! The service was very friendly and organic. Even asked for feedback on the food which was a nice touch. We found out they've only been open for 3 days, but I'm sure they're gonna blow up soon! This is now our only brunch spot next time we visit the area.

Everything was wonderful! The food, staff, and the beautifully decorated space! Congrats on your soft opening!

I just experienced this new breakfast restaurant for the first time and I am so excited about the atmosphere, delicious food and beautiful presentation. I will definitely be back.
