Wow. Delicate yet energetic atmosphere where the food truly enlightens the mood. With a menu rotating on the daily, the potential for trying new curated dishes is endless. My wife and I ordered cocktails, For The Bees and Dappled Apple. Both strong and perfect for the vibes. For app, we ordered the biscuits with honey and butter, which had a comforting taste to the palate. For dinner, we ordered the Spaghetti Fennel Sausage dish and the Butternut Squash Lasagna. WOW (And that’s all caps purposely). These dishes were unique in their own ways and the best way to describe it is you actually cannot make this at home. These chefs are distinguished in their ability to create food that stands out, and we felt that with every bite. Thank you Nopa, we will see you guys soon. CHEERS MATE

Here the service is on par if not better than the food. Our waiter, patient and explaining the options, other people who came to our table with silverware or to clean very smiling ear to ear - all good signs that this place keeps their people happy. The food was a standard Californian fare with good mix of some vegetarian options. If you're gluten free and/or vegan, there is not much here for you. As vegetarians, everything we ordered tasted wonderful. The appetizers fill you up and we had difficulty finishing our two entrees we shared between us three. The butter beans with feta, vegetables stew, paparadelle pasta made vegetarian and flatbread were good. We didn't have reservations but we got a table on the sidewalk next to the covered street section. We had heaters behind and on top of the table but the San Francisco winds made the dining uncomfortable. If you can, avoid the sidewalk seating.

One of the best restaurants I've been to in San Francisco! The food was amazing - delicious, beautifully plated, with huge portions, including a long list of appetizers great for sharing. They have an extensive wine list and a sommelier that helps you select the perfect wine. The restaurant itself is stylish and spacious, with a lovely ambience. There's tons of seating both inside and outside, and their outdoor seating area has been built to last with all the comforts of being indoors, including proper seating, plenty of heaters, and music. The service was terrific. All in all, a top notch experience. I highly recommend making a visit to Nopa and I'll definitely plan to return!

The service was really good I can’t fault it, but for the price and setting it was probably what you’d expect. The high ceilings do a lot for the space, which is bustling but not crowded or feeling like a business. Exposed kitchens are fun, so together with quality of the drinks Nopa is pretty high up on the list of bars. The cocktail menu is a display of the craft that drink service can be. It is full of intrigue and the items that we tried offered instant appreciation of the time that must have gone into their design. The food didn’t hit me the same way. None of our starters, two mains or desserts did anything to surprise me, still good food perhaps the bar was just set too high.

Great spot to talk with friends over great drinks. I loved the fernay all day (Fernet based) and tried the fifth wheel and dirty martini which were made well. Dessert menu is extensive and I really liked the bright strawberry rhubarb cobbler.

Absolutely blown away by the food, service, and organization of this restaurant! I love that there are so many different employees to take care of you (someone to deliver drinks, someone different to take away empty things, someone else to take away used silverware and wipe down any spills between appetizers and your meal). Everything worked like a well-oiled machine. The mushroom toast was so flavorful and the toast itself had soaked in so much. The pork chop was cooked to perfection - juicy yet slightly crisp on the outside. The roasted strawberries were a pleasant topping. Dessert was the rhubarb cobbler with brown sugar ice cream - sweet but not too sweet an d all the flavors just mingled so well. It was not an overwhelming dessert and I didn't leave the restaurant feeling weighed down. The server was able to describe the food in a very poetic way that matched how it tasted and was very enticing. I would go back in a heartbeat!

Absolutely loved the experience! I am on business travel and we decided to come here based on a TikTok I saw. The hosts were so polite and seated us promptly. Our server, Ashwini, is the most amazing person. Not only was she so sweet, she provided so many recommendations from appetizers, entrees, dessert, cocktails, and red wine. Of course we went with all her recommendations and we were not disappointed. (Plates were cleaned! Glasses finished!) We had the smoked trout to start. I had the Eggplant Parmesan and my colleague had the pork chop. The best part about it was her recommendations were selections I would have never considered, had she not mentioned it. It was an amazing dining experience and I would love to come back during my next visit. The atmosphere was so nice and cozy although it was a full crowd and I loved the music. 10/10 highly recommend.

Nopa is an absolute institution, and it doesn’t just live up to that reputation, it exceeds it. When I first moved to San Francisco, seemingly everyone would ask if I’d been to Nopa yet. I get it now. You’re going to spend money, but you’re going to get your money’s worth. The duck breast was one of the best I’ve ever had in my life, the pork chop is legendary, the cocktails are phenomenal, and the staff is attentive, friendly, and professional.

Hands down the best meal i’ve had in awhile!!! Stumbled upon this place and proceeded to share (between the two of us) the Grilled Nectarine with Stracciatella cheese, honey and walnuts! Also order the Vegetable Tangine. Was left feeling full but not over the top! The menu here changes daily but I was blown away! Will be coming back!!! All the severs & waitstaff were very kind, I recommend sitting at the bar so you can see the action!

Wow wow wow, I didn’t even get the tip of the iceberg here and I already know I have to come back possibly even multiple times to really enjoy all of the amazing thing this restaurant has to offer. My friend and I sat at the bar which is not require a reservation but you better get there right at 5 o’clock if you want to take advantage of that. We ordered a few glasses of wine and a couple of snacks just to get it started. Everything was exceptional. I really can’t recommend this restaurant enough. I know this is not particularly an extensive review, but just trust me on this make a reservation and enjoy . You’re welcome.

At the begging we wasn't really happy, we needed to wait 30 minutes for our table (reserved, of course) but it was easily forgotten! Everything that we ordered was so good! We were 5 and ordered about 7 or 8 dishes (entrées) and all of them were great. A few of them were suggested by our waiter that was really friendly and helpful. To apologize for the long wait, they gifted us with a portion of fries, one side dish and 5 cookies for dessert, I mean, a kind way to apologize for the inconvenience. The best dinning experience that we had in SF, highly recommended!

Service was absolutely excellent, food was great but portion size and price could be better. We sat at the bar and were able to see the chefs creating art, it was beautiful. Everything we ordered has a balanced flavour profile as I would expect with this price. Service was honestly the best thing here, staff was friendly, professional and knew what they were doing, very detailed in their service. Their vegetarian items are limited but willing to accommodate which I appreciated. Specifics about what we ordered: The tagine was delicious, highly recommended. The pasta was refreshing but I didn’t think it was worth the price. The grilled peach was amazing especially when we paired it with the sourdough but again pricey for what it is. All is to say, great food, great service but be prepared to spend quite a bit. It is a fancier restaurant and in SF.

Short but tasteful menu with seasonal options - duck, pasta, veggie stew, etc. I ordered the pork chop and the portion was surprisingly hefty. Te slab of meat was complimented with kale and baked grape potatoes. The fried chicken smelled so good. The drinks menu has some creative cocktails perfect for a cozy winter night in addition to all the wine.

Amazing staff and even better food. Staff were super friendly and knowledgeable about the food. I got lamb tartare and that was super flavorful and refreshing. The chips did not hurt my mouth. Also got the goat cheese and toast which was quite warm and delicious. The way the ingredients and flavors blend together along with the texture makes for a very flavorful. I got the parpadelle which was a bit watery but the flavors were good and the pasta was chewy. The fried chicken was super crispy and flavorful. The honey sauce was amazing. Overall I loved the staff and food.

The pork is THE BEST. The Brussels sprouts is special and refreshing. Every dish we had were tasty. We didn’t reserve before going and the line is really long even the restaurant is not open yet. Great service and awesome atmosphere.

Food is always fantastic here. They do have a bit of a rotating menu but the pork chop and burger are always great. The duck liver mousse was phenomenal. And it's nice that they have a very well covered outdoor dining with heat lamps. This is definitely one of my goto restaurants in the city. If you haven't been you should definitely try it out.

I love this restaurant because their portions are huge and their menu is full of delectable comfort food. I’ve been ~5 times with my friends, parents, and dates. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Friend chicken, eggplant parm, burger, and spaghetti bolognese are superb staples.

Tried a little of everything and loved it. The menu changes almost daily, but I'd recommend the recurring favorites: the hot honey fried chicken and malted milk chocolate ice cream.

Service is top notch! We were so lucky to be seated in Rico’s section. The espresso martinis were the best we’ve had in the city and the desserts were so flavorful. We had the brown butter brownie and the spiced apple cider cake. We can’t wait to come back for dinner!

!!!!!Love the food!!!!! We come here often and is a go-to spot, especially when we want everything to be perfect. The pork chops are always cooked and seasoned to perfection...every bite. The moroccan fried chicken and sauce are always good, the bolgnese is divine and I wouldn't be surprised to find out if they make their own sausage. The desserts, including the warm cookies with some good coffee (they make good coffee) are such a treat to end the blissful experience in their hopping and pleasant sounding atmosphere of people enjoying their food, drinks, dessert and excellent customer service. Oh, and the drinks are always on point- hats off to all the Nopa drink mixologists! Thank you for giving me and my husband, and all of our friends & family that we bring such a pleasant experience and heavenly eats!!!!

What a delicious evening! While an expensive place, the portions were massive and quality was without a doubt amazing! Our server Max was super nice, in addition to fun costumes all around for Halloween. We ordered sooo much, and nearly fell on the floor. We began with drinks, the 50/50 Martini and the Hotel Nacional- both really good! In order of least favorite to favorite dishes (and all were delicious): 5) WOOD BAKED GIGANTE BEANS, BREADCRUMBS, OREGANO PESTO AND FETA - very tasty, but wouldn't order again. 4) PAPPARDELLE, NINE HOUR BOLOGNESE, BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND PARMESAN - also delicious, but cold and didn't stand out that much to me. 3) SMOKED BRISKET, LENTILS, ROASTED TURNIPS AND HORSERADISH CRÈME FRAÎCHE - tasted like hot pastrami that wasn't sliced, which was good and soft but not what I was hoping for. Please note that 2 and 1 were both legions above the rest and were amazing! 2) WARREN PEAR, STRACCIATELLA, WALNUTS AND NOPA ROOFTOP HONEY - the cheese and honey and all in one mouthfuls were amazing!! 1) MUSHROOM TOAST, FRESH RICOTTA, CARAMELIZED ONION AND BALSAMIC - just WOW. INSANELY GOOD!! We were unfortunately too full to order dessert. However the birthday girl got a complimentary brown butter cookie ice cream which was unbelievable!

Such a pleasurable eve at Nopa! 10/10 dining experience and food. Personal favourites were the grilled broccoli in lemony buttery sauce, the trout with tomato vinaigrette and the basil icecream with peaches and cream 🤍 We also had the pork chop, lamb meatballs, chicken & fries, deep fried anchovies, beans & a mint chocolate semifreddo. Tummiesss were fullll and satisfied. Go hungry with 4 people and share everything.
