Highly charged atmosphere is very exciting. But the food prep is outstanding. Pork chops, Kobe steak, and duck are fabulous. Totally lives up to the hype.
Salmon prepared perfectly, 2 dozen oysters so fresh & tasty, baked eggs in pork over polenta, crab flat omelette,
Brunch toast spread with ricotta topped with berries, mushroom omelette with crispy potatoes. Everything was excellent
The vibe was perfect. Loved everything from the walk in, to the seating outside under the tarp ceiling with plenty of outdoor heaters and movie playing. The waiter appeared to be having a rough day, so nothing held against them. They were still helpful, friendly and efficient. The food was incredible, great portions and reasonably priced for what you got. Highly recommend for a unique and memorable experience.
Great dinner experience for 4 with The Titanic on the ‘screen’ for the night. We ordered everything family style so we could taste it all. Highlights were the pork chop and fried chicken mains. All agreed that pork chops are hard to do right but ordered on a recommendation and it didn’t disappoint. Would definitely return to taste more of their menu. The house collab IPA was also solid. Well done, Foreign Cinema!!
A must see. I had brunch there over the weekend. But it's not just the food that makes Foreign Cinema an unforgettable experience. The setting itself is a work of art. Dining under the starlit sky in the open-air courtyard, with classic films projected on the wall, creates an ambiance like no other. It's a place where every moment feels like a celebration of life, love, and exceptional cuisine
Great atmosphere. People are happy and the service is great.
Food is good but not fantastic. We ordered the duck breast and pasta as our main dish. The duck breast is tender and tasty but the pasta was a little bland.
Will visit again!
I am so happy to have been recommended this place by friends. They were totally right; it's a MUST to try. Came here for a special occasion and I was very impressed with the ambiance & decor, the friendly service, creative menu selections, and or course the tasty food 😋. I would definitely recommend for any occasion -- the vibe is semi-casual, but it's very open and inviting. You definitely need to experience the outdoor patio setting and watch the films they display 📽️
I was here for a small wedding. The location is a little unexpected, in a rougher part of town, but that only adds to the charm. It's a large place, with several rooms with tall ceilings. They project movies onto the walls. It had an intimate and soft feel to the atmosphere. The food was first rate, for our experience we had multiple small plates hand crafted by the chef, salads, scallops, braised meat. There was also a bartender, and the cocktails were exquisite and skillfully made, we got a chance to directly compare, coincidentally stopping for the same kind at a local bar right before arriving. I hope to come back for the regular service someday
Excellent upscale spot for vibes and good food. It's a fun concept — sitting outside with the hanging lights while enjoying a movie projected onto the back wall. Food-wise, some notable favorites were the grilled lavender-brined pork chop, the grilled Monterey Bay calamari (just wow) and the Santa Barbara smoked salmon. Do give this spot a try if you are in the area and want to splurge a bit.
A nice concept restaurant - guests sitting in the tables in the courtyard can enjoy the movie projected on to a big wall while they dine (after dusk). There are many heaters to help fight often chilly San Francisco weather. The food was great, especially the duck breast and bavette steak. The fried chicken was just OK.
We came here to celebrate a birthday and they gave us a small birthday card. On the dessert that we ordered they put a "happy birthday" note and a candle. There was no complimentary dessert though.
We walked in without a reservation on a Wednesday night. The hosts were kind and lovely, so were the service staff. The ambiance is delightful, they have a backyard also but it was too chilly for me.
The salad was too anchovy-heavy for me but I am in love with the fried chicken. It was succulent and crispy and sweet. Perfection. The acme bread was good but I wish we hadnt ordered it it was just okay.
Overall a great place.
I made reservations here for a Brunch December get together! Party of four for my friends birthday. The ambiance takes one back to old Hollywood, you enter to a long lobby, seated on vintage chairs and tables. We decided to sit outdoors since it was a nice day and so glad we did as we soaked it all in! I ordered the Duck dish and thought it was good, just not the best. The drinks were solid! Cocktails named in honor of past movies - that was cool! So why four stars? This is one of the only higher-end restaurant that I’ve been that did not include a “on the house” birthday cake slice or dessert. We ended up purchasing a slice to share, at least they had a candle. Tbh I would let it slide if this was a cheap meal, but considering the cost per entree and the cocktails… I expected more!
