Juanita & Maude Gives a Neighborhood the Restaurant It Longed For - Eater SF

"A sleepy, suburbanesque strip where the only coffee shop was an old-school Royal Ground and the most fashionable restaurant nearby was Rivoli, which opened in, oh, 1994." - Rachel Levin

Amazing food every time. As a vegetarian I love that they offer delicious vegetarian options, my favorite being their lasagnas! Service is top notch too. If you come here for dinner you won’t be disappointed.

Loved the deviled eggs, burrata dish, lobster souffle, and scallop main. Incredible service and beautiful garden view dining room to eat dinner in.

We visited over the holidays. The meal was intended to be special and lived up to our expectations. We had made reservations well in advance and were shown to a table promptly upon arrival. The dining room is small and overlooks a lovely garden, which is lit at night. The food was fabulous and the wait staff was excellent. Although the prices are high, the quality more than compensates. The portions are average-to-small so nothing went to waste.

This is our go-to spot locally. It’s a small, intimate place, perfect for dates, anniversaries or any special occasion. There’s a lovely garden outside one wall of glass. It’s quiet. It’s a little dark, sometimes making it a challenge to read the menu, but that’s the ambience. The service is always excellent and the food is sublime, changing menus often to take advantage of what is fresh. Make sure to have an appetizer and dessert as these are always great. You almost always need reservations.

Wonderful and quaint atmosphere. A little gem where one would not expect it. Most guests appear to be locals. However, I am sure that OpenTable has filled their dining room with additional guests (just like me). Great personal service. Refreshingly not so San Franciscan. Wonderful restaurant, delicious food, and superior service. They were so accommodating to our party (which kept adding latecomers to the table) . We will definitely be back!

Menu changes so I don't expect my to remain there forever. Today I wanted to eat light: I had a steak tartare on a tiny toast to start with, Caesar salad, their smoked salmon appetizer dish, followed by tastes of desert ordered by my dinner companions, a sample of fudge sundae and a sample of their chocolate bread pudding with orange sauce. All absolutely delicious.
