The Chapel Kills Off Restaurant The Vestry - Eater SF
"The Chapel, a formerly Mortuary on Valencia Street resurrected as a live music venue, has laid its sister restaurant, The Vestry, to rest. But regular patrons mourning the loss of their dependable brunch spot shouldn’t take it too hard: The business will bring back a new restaurant concept in the same space, perhaps as soon as this spring. The 85-seat restaurant with an outdoor patio space opened in 2013, serving comfort food and cocktails." - Caleb Pershan
Brunch at the Vestry was one of the best experiences I’ve had. The food was spectacular all around and the outdoor tent was well heated. Drinks were well made and service was prompt and friendly. The breakfast calzone and the shakshouka were sleeper hits. Fried chicken and the donuts also amazing

Not the best place IMO as there are a lot of better spots in the Mission area. The outdoor seatings are way better than the indoor set up. Inside is way too dark during day time hours for a normal breakfast/brunch. Drinks and food are ok, nothing impressive. Friendly and fast service.

Justin made this a great experience! He brought out a birthday donut for our friend and made us feel super welcome. Kyle was also a great server, lots of good jokes. Highly recommend!!

Their menu brings me SO much satisfaction, bottomless mimosas are great, the vibe is very young and hip. Do recommend.

Went to the Vestry for the first time this weekend and had a really great experience! It will def become one of my regular brunch spots in the mission. They have a lovely outdoor area as well as the indoor area. The bottomless mimosas are only $14 with food or $16 without food. The atmosphere is reach nice and the waitstaff were fairly attentive. The food was pretty good---didn't blow me away but def solid brunch food. I had the eggs benedict with avocado instead of ham and arugula instead of breakfast potatoes (I also appreciated that they were pretty accommodating with substitutes). But I would highly recommend the breakfast potatoes which were roasted in sea salt and rosemary and were oh so delicious! I also tried the flat bread---which I wasn't impressed with. The crust just didn't taste very good. All in all, I would def return--especially for a boozy brunch!

Second visit so far. First was an early dinner now I tried Brunch.
Their burger is just excellent, nice brioche bun, very good fries and pickles.
The French toast was very good but super sweet. Get the sauce on the side.
Duck confit hash was OK.
Full liquor license and great cocktail list seals the deal

The food is delicious--great brunch spot. The venue is unique and very cute. It has space for large parties and bottomless mimosas. The mimosas are reasonably priced and they keep them coming. Definitely a great spot for brunch and just a short walk to Delores Park.

Came here for a dinner and drinks with my coworkers! The cocktails were great - I asked the server what his favorite cocktail was and he recommended the Lady Guadalupe. I'm glad I listened because it was delicious! Don't be intimidated by the habanero - it's not spicy at all. I tried all of my coworkers drinks too and they were all yummy as well. The food on the other hand didn't really do it for me. The burger was just okay. The ambiance + cocktails make this place worth it. Down side: service was slow even prior to the bar/restaurant getting busy.
