Georges at the Cove

Great service and vibe. However, food is not impressive, at least for the three-course dinner that two of us tried. The appetizers had some salty or fruity flavors, but not something that made us feel excited. Main entrees we chose were dry-aged duck and grilled cod - I can taste the flavor of the meat for both, rather than much interesting flavor from the seasonings. In other words, I won't remember them after the dish. Desserts (both the plum dish and the strawberry sorbet) were too sweet and the fruits were treated with syrups rather than fresh ones. My favorite one is actually the complimentary ice cream sandwich for our anniversary. Another thing to note - complimentary bread only comes with one piece per person. I was not hungry before coming to the dinner so was not counting on the dinner to feed me full. Yet, the amount of food would definitely not satisfy a normal dinner for most people. Among all the pre-fixe meals we had before at non-Michelin and Michelin-star restaurants, this never happened, so I think I should warn people of this. Given the price ($125 per person, with additional $10+ CA employee benefit fees, additional tax and fees) of over $160 per person, i think the restaurant should really improve the food quality and portion.

What a special restaurant. This establishment is beautiful while not being too stuffy, the salad I had today was out of this world, and the service at the bar was fantastic. I see why Spruce is considered one of the best restaurants to dine at in San Francisco. I'd highly recommend this place!

Had a fantastic four course meal here for my husband’s birthday. Fancy with white table cloths, delicious wine, and a pre-set menu and price ($125 pp). They brought out a beautiful birthday dish. We had a great service, and the truffle pasta was a highlight.
