Amazing to finally eat at Tadich! Years and years of stories has finally come to life for me! We had a great booth with the absolute best service from the bartender on down. I loved the shrimp bisque and crab cakes were spectacular!! I am obsessed with the Peruvian peppers! Such a fun experience with great service and wonderful food!

Classic great restaurant that embodies San Francisco. No reservations so either come early or prepare for a wait. Don't worry they have a bar you ca get a drink at while you wait for your table.
The seafood is fresh and great! The sliced tomato quartet is great. On a bed of sliced iceberg the seafood and tomatoes do all the work to make this a fresh and tasty treat. We also had the shrimp bisque, which is obviously rich but very good.
Entree I had the petrale sole which was so delicate and delicious pan fried. It came with thick French fries and a simple medley of vegetables.
We had no room for dessert.
I have come here many times in the past and would highly recommend it for a consistently hearty tasty meal. You get a lot of food and it's worth the money. The clam chowder, chioppino, sautés and pretty much anything else are all very good. -

Ate here Friday night about 6:30. The place was very busy and loud. We needed a table for 3 and had about a 20 minute wait at the bar. Tables for 2 were much faster than for 3.
It was WORTH the wait. The food was wonderful and the service was excellent. I had pacific red snapper with bay shrimp and a tomato and anchovy salad. The salad was unique and I will have to try to make something similar as I love anchovies. My wife and daughter shared a shrimp bisque. Rich, creamy and flavorful but lacking in shrimp pieces. My wife had scallops and my daughter had the Cioppino. Both were very happy with their selections.
An old school restaurant with delicious food. We were very satisfied customers. We will go back on our next trip to SF. -

Cioppino! Don't have it anywhere else, and by all means have this when you're there. Put this place on your to do list when in the Union Square area. Both my
Wife and I had their legendary Sicilian Fish Stew (Cioppino) loaded with crabmeat, scallops, mussels, shrimp, clams, and..other frutti di mare, we also sampled the shrimp bisque which will knock you out. It's a perfectly blended bisque with a rich multi-layered flavor and aroma profile, and a silky finish! The waiters are fun, professional, and they're a throwback to a better time when appearances mattered. They are all neatly coiffed, dressed in black trousers, white shirt and tie, starched white jackets and long aprons. If you miss this place when you're in the area, you're missing a bucket list experience. -

Let's start with the good....the food was absolutely delicious. We both started with the shrimp bisque which was so creamy and flavorful. Onto the entrees. Hubby got a grilled snapper dish which was delicious. The filet was generously sized, moist and flaky and so flavorful. The accompanying mixed veggies were fresh and steamed perfectly. I ordered the seafood canelloni Florentine which was melt-in-your-mouth buttery goodness. The apple torte finished off the meal perfectly. It was dense and packed with apples. We absolutely loved the food.
Now for the not-so-good. Service was brusque, not particularly friendly, and a bit unpolished. We asked for water twice before we received it. We were seated near a bussing station which didn't prevent the waiters from throwing their dishes into the bucket with great force, making an ear-splitting racket. Although we went to dinner early, and the restaurant was not full, it was so noisy we could barely hear each other. Hubby commented that with all the noise and commotion, it was like eating in a bus station.
Other issues: the bread was hard, dry and flavorless. Prices were high: most appetizers in the $15-$18 range, entrees were generally in the $25 -$35 range and desserts were $9. Food was great, but given the service quality and bus station atmosphere, we think prices were too high. The thing that must irritated me, however, was the size of the beverages. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks were served in glasses that were about 30 percent smaller than what you find in most restaurants. I would guess my Coke was served in a 6 ounce glass filled halfway with ice and they had the nerve to charge me for a refill ($2.75 a pop). Similarly, hubby's martini was about half the size of any martini he's ever ordered anywhere but priced like a full-sized martini. So we felt a bit ripped off, especially since we were paying so much for the meal. I mean, come on. What does soda cost them? 2 cents a glass?
In summary, great food but not-so-great everything else. For the price of this experience, we were a bit disappointed. -

We spent a quick weekend in San Francisco starting 3/1 and arrived for a stay at the Omni Friday night. Turning on to California Street coming in from the Bay Bridge we noticed the Tadich is just a short walk from the hotel, so we made a spontaneous decision to have dinner there having seen the restaurant featured on numerous television shows. The staff at the Omni confirmed the raves we've heard for the Tadich, so we checked in and walked over. At 8:45, the wait for a table was 45 minutes but the maitre d' said that we'd probably have better luck waiting for a couple of seats at the expansive bar instead. I ordered us a couple of 21st Amendment IPAs on draught for the wait, and sure enough a space for two opened at the bar within 10 minutes. A couple who came in after us moved in to occupy the two spaces, but the alert waiter at that end noticed we had arrived first, shooed them away, and called us over to sit. Not a house policy, but more an unwritten amendment to the unspoken "first come first served" code.
We ordered the huge seafood cocktail and a bowl of white clam chowder, but unfortunately they were out of the lobster and shrimp bisque. Each of these was loaded with seemingly bottomless seafood and clams respectively, and tasted fresh and delicious. I ordered the Hawaiian Ono with rice and vegetables for my main course and was delighted with the fresh grilled flavor of the ono (known some other places as wahoo), and with the choice of fresh vegetables accompanying the fish (snow peas, broccoli, carrots, and brussell sprout. As an added treat, they topped the ono with a delightful sesame/seaweed salad nested miso glazed scallop coated and cooked to perfection.
Dessert was a really nice tiramisu wrapped in a paper thin chocolate sheet, and the perfect way to cap off a fantastic meal. Out of the two thousand + restaurants in the San Francisco area and the dozen or so I've tried so far, this is near or at the top of my fine dining experiences in this great, culinary focused city. -

Went at a slow time on a Friday, perfect to get in the door without having to wait. Service good, nothing out of line, solid waiter, but he couldn't remember bringing a straw for some tea. I had the best shrimp bisque I've tasted in years. The clam chowder was loaded and yummy from what our tablemate said. I had filet of sole and sorry to say but the Spanish, strangely enough in Spain, are the ones who know how to cook and serve it as they do any seafood put in their pans.
This was semi-warm and totally bland. Wife and friends had a seafood dish but it looked quite ordinary, very boring, dry and unappetizing. All in all, this place is where it is because of its reputation. I'm big on places that please my pallette and don't bounce the CC. All the rest is window dressing. Next. -

This place is great. We sat at the bar and had a great bartender. Service was excellent and the drinks were awesome. We ate at the bar too. Shrimp bisque and calamari and sourdough bread. Yummy! Eat and drink here, you'll love it.

A gem which stands out in a city of many gems. Glad I didn't have any preconceptions before coming here...just come and see for yourself. The shrimp bisque plus a couple Anchor Steams is a good start for sharing with a friend at the bar.

For a landmark restaurant that claims to be the best in San Francisco, this place leaves A LOT to be desired. First off, the waiter was a complete and total jerk. Not exactly the way I wanted to start the night. But I am also the kinda guy that can look at my girlfriend, call the guy a douche bag and move on with it. But then the food started to show up. Shrimp bisque was more like carrot soup and tasted funky, the entree's were loaded with grease, steak was not cooked well (when I mentioned it to Mr. douche bag he said something like "that's how you asked for it." and I told him to go away.) Overall, the food was terrible, the service was worse than the food and I will not go back. Maybe they had a bad night, maybe the waiter wasn't having a good day/night, but that being said, if you are going to charge people up the ass to eat at your restaurant, the food and service better be good.

Went here late on a Friday night. Spontaneous decision to go. Had to sit at the bar a little bit while waiting for a table, but that was a given.
The first thing I notice is the old school ambiance. Like I was guest-starring in an episode of Mad Men or something. Bring on the martinis and oysters (unless stairs are to follow)!
Ordered a cup of the shrimp bisque and the hangman fry (basically omelet of oysters and bacon with side of potatoes and sliced tomatoes). The bisque was memorably good and tasty, superior to some lobster bisques I've had recently. No table seasoning needed. I have thought about making another trip to get this bisque again. The hangman fry was a little more boring and bland. Maybe I should've accepted the ketchup the waiter offered because it needed some sort of binding agent. I ended up using some tabasco instead, but still, something was missing. And the sliced tomatoes seemed random, wasn't sure how I was supposed to combine them with the rest of the dish.
Despite that, I would definitely be willing to go back.
