    The vegetarian institution remains one of the most gorgeous spaces in the city, and during the daytime, its magical dining room is full of light. And yeah, the menu is as seasonal and current as ever. Read more

    Amazing views of Golden Gate Bridge. Great menu and a lot of gluten free options. Try figs salad and chili or curry. Great choice. The service is perfect.

    Exceptional for both brunch and dinner. It's a vegetarian spot, but I doubt you'd notice if I hadn't said anything. Plus, enormous windows that look out onto the Bay. Really nice date material.

    The menu changes daily, but its focus on seasonal fare makes it still one of the best places in San Francisco to eat, vegetarian or otherwise. Read more

    Great views from tables near the windows. Brunch here is transcendent — a unique offering in the Bay Area. Dinner is great too — amazing dinner rolls and pasta with Gorgonzola.

    Excellent elevated vegetarian & vegan cuisine. Their parpadelle mushroom dish was heavenly as was their strawberry salad with mixed greens. A+ chocolate & pistachio mascarpone cakes. Elite service!

    Greens isn't just sit-down. They also have a great "Greens to Go" option during the day. It's quick and fresh. And you can bring it next door to The Interval if you like. :)

    If it’s your first time, be sure to make a reservation, get there early and ask for the first available window table.

    First vegetarian restaurant in America; offers locally sourced seasonal mouthwatering fare set in warehouse decorated with massive redwood driftwood with breathtaking views of the Golden Gate Bridge.

    Beautiful views and very laid back staff. If you go between 2-5pm there is no table service and we actually loved that - we brought coffee/cookies and enjoyed an awesome snack

    When you order your drinks, order the jalapeño cornbread or the buttermilk biscuits, too. It'll give you something to enjoy while you peruse the amazing vegetarian menu.

    I had the mixed vegetable soup, which wasn't anything special. Would probably come back and try other things though, because the atmosphere and the view was so good.

    The views, the wine and the appetizers are great-- frankly I wasn't impressed by the entrees. They seemed like what a non-veg would serve you to get you to not like vegetarian food.

    Try to ask for window seating when you arrive. Worth it when it's around sunset time. Food is delicious! Dessert is a must :)

    Stunning view of the bridge (when the fog isn't around) and a perfect place for a date, especially if your significant other is vegetarian.

    simple nice food, good enough for a regular vegetarian cafe. but it’s not a level of a top rated restaurant. overpriced. I regret that I chose it for my birthday dinner, it wasn’t cozy or fancy.

    The hummus appetizer is the best hummus/pita bread I've ever had. We actually ordered a second plate of it instead of dessert.

    The view of golden gate from the large windows is amazing. The food I felt is overpriced for the taste or quantity .

    One of the best meals I've had in SF. The service was impeccable even though I showed up there in running clothes after a jog. Can't find a fault with anything on the menu

    This was well and truly a splurge because this place is very pricey. But the food was extremely delicious and worthy of costing a nights accommodation.

    We went at night , so we couldn't check the decor out...but the food was actually good. I reckon the decor is worth the view during the day time.

    High-end vegetarian fare in a converted military building! Get a table by the water and you can see the Golden Gate Bridge (if it's not too foggy).

    Can't say I loved the mesquites. Overpriced for quality. You pay for the view. Corn pepper soup was also lackluster for price. Shizen is better every day of the week.
