It's my favorite restaurant in the world. The food, the service, and the atmosphere are all top-notch and yet unpretentious. It's the first restaurant I've been to where a server refers to a dish as a "flavor bomb"...and it absolutely was. For my money, no trip to San Francisco is complete without a meal at Stones Throw.
one of the best meals i've had in a while. their menu is creative, the flavors are distinctive and delicate and they make each dish. their snacks menu - i could not fault - i had every one of them. a friend of mine had the duck - i'm not a fan but this dish was awesome.
the server had some great suggestions on the wine and whilst i think $60 is a bit steep - as we drank the wine - it was a great selection, great taste for the food we ate.
The server was great, service was awesome! this place gets it right!
I'll be going back!
Great food and intriguing wine
Terrific dinner with our children and spouses. Delicious and varied small plates and entrees, and a wine list the reaches less known areas in Austria, Spain, South America as well as unusual California choices. Classy modern yet relaxed and informal.
From the decor to the food, this place is a winner! We were in SF for a weekend and tried a variety of restaurants. This was, by far, my favorite. The melon/Baratta salad and chicken liver mousse were amazing, as was the Waygu beef. Even the simple tomato soup was great. Everything was just very fresh and of the highest quality. Will be back!
... it was mere moments before 5:30 that I arrived to find the doors of Jason Kirmse and Cy Hia’s Stone’s Throw already unlocked and although having missed out on Fat Angel during previous Bay Area
Chef Halverson is definitely applying his 4-star background into some unique combinations and creations in the reasonably priced menu ...
Delicious food!
Started off with the duck pate and summer squash starter. Both were so good, we decided to get the heirloom tomato starter as well! Octopus was tender in the middle, and had great accompanying flavours. The orange dessert was a very good elevation of a typical creamsicle, and the cake had a great blackberry sorbet to cut through the sweetness of the chocolate!
All in all, great meal!

Deserts here are styled and adult versions of childhood favourites.
The restaurant asks you at the end if you could make a suggestion for a future desert and will invite you back to try it if they pick and make your suggestion.
Located in a quiet section of Russian Hill. Once a month they do an invitational Chefs tasting. Really enjoyed the Michelin rated Commis and Hawker Fare chef last night.
Menu included Rock Shrimp Goi, Pork Sausage and veal cheeks. Desert was a mango rice pudding. Each of the 5 dishes was paired with a nice wine. Mostly whites but one red.
Service was excellent and am already looking forward to seeing who next months chef will be.
A great place for food and drink. Family style is a great way to go here as all their dishes are easy to share and it's worth trying as many things as possible. I recommend the PAN-SEARED STRIPED BASS, SQUID INK CONCHIGLIE PASTA and the BRANDT FARMS PRIME BAVETTE STEAK
Try the puffed potato, steelhead trout and da burger (see the photos). Gets busy so please make a reservation even on weekday evenings. Portion size is not huge so be prepared to order a snack/starter and a main per person. Came as a party of 4 for dinner. Had di Stefano burrata (I always love my burrata cheeseball), duck pate and mousse (no idea where the mousse went but the duck pate was good), puffed potato and eggs (one of my favorite here, potato ball with eggy dip), squid ink pasta (I wasn't a fan of this, nothing fancy), charred spanish octopus (get it for the sake of the novelty, tasty and chewy too), steelhead trout (looks like salmon actually but it is not, prepared very well, soft, moist, flavorful), "da burger" (burger with sesame bread and beef and cheese, really loved this one too). Be prepared to spend money. Had a bottle of brunello red wine for USD88. Total price USD61 per pax for a group of 4 (including tax and tips). Did not have space in the tummy for dessert.
Not perfect. We came here for their three course breakfast, which is bread+savory/sweet spreads, then your choice of entree, then doughnuts for dessert. Come hungry because it is a lot of food. Breads were the best part of the meal, the spreads are an excellent variety and all delicious. The entrees leave a little bit to be desired - very heavy for breakfast fare, and used a tad too much oil to cook. The fried chicken as pictured had a good crisp on it, but the lack of a spoon made it hard to drizzle gravy onto it. And I remain confused as to how I am supposed to eat the poached egg - it was a good egg, sure, but was I supposed to mix it with the gravy...? Doughnuts were good, but I didn't get a picture.
Anyway, service was impeccable, water constantly refilled inobstructively. Overall good place to get breakfast and catch up with friends since it takes time for the service of the courses, but come hungry.
Excellent service, especially the wine service. Wide range of wines complement the simple and tasty food. Nice neighborhood spot in Russian Hill
I visited this place just because I stayed nearby. But Loved this place so much. Quick and friendly services from lovely staffs. I got a great care from all the staffs even I came here alone at late night. Great food and awesome selections of drinks.
Came here for dessert and a glass of wine.. really enjoyed both and looking forward to coming back for food
Went for brunch on a Sunday. Food and service were excellent. Bread was fantastic. There's a good variety of fresh breads in a basket. I had the fried chicken and egg brunch. It was wonderful. The chicken was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The gravy wasn't too heavy. The egg was soft on the inside. Delicious. It was a great experience.
