"Located right behind the Letterman Digital Arts building, Sessions is the perfect post-Presidio hike hangout spot. Don’t be worried about the polished dining room—yoga pants and fleece-clad diners are welcome. It also has plenty of easy-to-get tables and a big patio for your dog to run out any residual zoomies. Service can be hit-or-miss with disorganization at the host desk and long waits between seeing your server—and it’s unfortunately not redeemed much by the food. Stick with the American gastropub classics like the deviled eggs and fried chicken breast sandwich for the best experience. Food Rundown photo credit: Patrick Wong Deviled Eggs These things are generously filled and the pickled onions offset the richness of the yolk. We’d get these again. photo credit: Grace Cheung Steak Frites Has a great crust, but the accompanying sauce is a little too sweet, and the meat is tough. We do appreciate the huge heap of fries though. photo credit: Patrick Wong Fried Chicken Breast Sandwich We wish the chicken was juicier and thicker to stand up to the bulbous buns. A few tweaks to the ratios of this sandwich and we’d order it again. photo credit: Grace Cheung Sessions Waffle Solid. The brunch-only waffle has a great mix of textures. It’s chewy, and topped with stewed fruit and granola. No need to add the syrup that comes on the side." - Patrick Wong

The best reason to go to Sessions is the dog-friendly patio. - Review - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Sessions might not be on your radar unless you live or work in the Presidio, but it should be. The food is good, they have a strong, California-heavy beer and wine list, and it’s pretty easy to get a reservation. Sessions is a great place to start a night out in the Marina, or come for brunch if you want to get your birthday rolling before noon." - taylor abrams

Very Dog friendly. The covered outdoor patio had 6 dogs today. Love that they accept dogs there. The staff was attentive and friendly. They were diligent in making sure that the list of allergies I gave them was triple checked and they reassured me when delivering my food to the table. It was very much appreciated. The food and coffee was delicious. Highly recommend the Pork Belly Benedict. It was served on sourdough toast instead of English muffins which I loved.

The food was amazing! I got the steak frites for my entree. The steak was cooked to perfection and the fries were nice and crispy. The sourdough bread was very fresh and the truffle butter added a nice earthy buttery touch. The eggs were good too, but I am not a fan of caviar. The service was great but the host was a little stand offish. Not a problem as they weren't rude just noting they may not have been a talkative person. Overall I would come here again as the food, service, and overall ambiance were good. I enjoyed that we had a good amount of space between the tables around us so it didn't feel like we were on top of each other and our party could enjoy ourselves.

Very large and stylish restaurant. We had a late lunch (3pm) so the restaurant was relatively empty. We ordered a big and fried chicken breast sandwich and thoroughly enjoyed them. The fries were warm and crispy, just how we like them. Restrooms were very clean. There’s also a large bar area in the middle of the restaurant. We definitely recommend this place.

Lunch on the patio allows your fur family members. Our wait staff was attentive and friendly. Checked in us periodically giving a nice balance of uninterrupted conversation. Beautiful views of the park when you dine outside

Came for a "brunch" at 2:30pm on a Sunday. Greeted by amicable staff, plenty of seating available, and quick service. A good selection of food and wine, decided on the polenta with mushrooms and brussel sprouts as well as the the carrot and ginger soup. Both were good but the brussel sprouts were a bit too salty and interfered with the complementary taste of the dish. The hamburger beef was also a bit too salty, and chilaquiles were great. Kids menu had ample choices. The price for food quality and portions seems accurate. Great ambiance and outdoor dining experience with the exception of the frequent, abrupt barking of several dogs from patrons (didn't expect this otherwise would have preferred to be seated inside).

Came in for a late lunch after hiking around the Presidio and was pleasantly surprised with everything. The oysters had to be my favorite dish, but the beef waygyu meatballs were also very good. The staff was very friendly and fast to check on us and get refills. The cucumber cocktail was such a nice refreshing drink. Very pleasant experience, would come back again.

This is one of the few dining venues near the Palace of Fine Arts and it’s a very good one. The farm to table vegetables accompanying my salmon were outstanding. The salmon was also great. The location right on the edge of the Presidio has lovely grounds and the building interior has a modern minimalist aesthetic. On the Saturday evening we went it wasn’t too crowded and service was prompt. So if you’re going to a performance at PoFA and only want to park once this is a great dining option before your show.

Nice clean place. Outside seating gets filled up fast. You get a nice view there. The food is good and it comes out prompt. We had brunch at noon on a Sunday. The service is good although it's a bit mechanical. Servers do not try to engage with you.
