Check this place out for some very good, and comforting, bistro fare in an oddly configured space.

Passion fruit punch was a solid choice for a non-alcoholic drink.

Great, simply prepared fresh food. Love the tartare

If I had to name one standout, comfortable-yet-elegant, satisfying & delicious special occasion meal in SF, my dinner at Urchin would be it. Loved everything from the cocktails to dessert.
by Irene M.
Really interesting menu, but everything was just a bit off. Meh.

The pork belly and blood sausage was paired brilliantly with blood orange. The armadillo cocktail (mezcal and absinthe) was weird in the best way possible.

Gougére was freakin amazing. I can't get past it

With a creative slew of cocktails this is a great place for after work banter and drinks. The French influenced bistro also has a unique food menu so come hungry and try new things!

Awesome service . Had a refreshing octopus salad and cheese selection was impressive.

The drink in this picture is called "Down the rabbit hole" and contains carrot. I'm more than willing to take one for the team and see how many I have to drink until I can see in the dark.

Duck liver mouse and pork belly were the best I've ever had!!! Service at the bar is top notch as well.

Spaghettini (with uni) was creamy, but it was actually dairy-free!
by Iris H.
A bit underwhelmed here. My mom makes better deviled eggs. Cocktails had nice presentation but lacked flavorful taste. The urchin dish was ok. Oh and the service was poor and inattentive.
by Hillary L.
The service was pretty slow, and the food was pretty meh. I don't think it's worth the cost.

The staff is very nice and the place is cosy but spacious. Amazing Duck confit!

Trout is a great dish and the egg^3 is awesome. The mains didn't hold me though. Sadly, skip the uni spaghetti. A disappointment especially if you've had the better version at Mizumi in Vegas.

The menu is anchored by enough bistro workhorses such as hand-cut steak tartare, panisses with ratatouille and steak frites to please hardcore Francophiles.

Good cocktails if you like bourbon or rye. Good service too.

Ocean trout fume, deviled egg with uni, Hiro sandwich with marrow soaked fries, great service too.
by Runqiu Cai
Bistrot classics are well done - but I found the more adventurous dishes to be over ambitious. Still a nice addition to Valencia especially if you like sea urchin.

The duck liver is fantastic.

The bread is from Tartine so you know it's going to be delicious.

Head straight for the tasting menu and let the star chefs take you on a scrumptious gastronomic journey.

Inventive list of yummy cocktails!
by Elizabeth Agnew
Have some ice cream, from nearby Bi-Rite, for dessert.

The lamb cassoulet is the perfect comfort food for these harsh summer nights.
by Alyssa Foote
Delightful cocktails from Darius and Rafael.
