We had such a lovely time enjoying delicious food and great company at 3rd Cousin. The uni crème brûlée with caviar was an absolute dream, and the truffle risotto was perfectly prepared. The wine list was also excellent, making the whole experienc
Their food really stood out.
The dishes were creative and enjoyable. I didn't know simple brussels sprouts, when done right, could taste this good. Service was on point. The only minor issue was we were seated outside along the side walk, with strong wind and loud traffic.

We came here for the first time and tried the 5-course menu with wine pairing. I really liked the ambiance and the overall vibe, it felt inviting and cozy. Unfortunately, the dining experience didn't match the atmosphere. The pacing felt rushed,

3rd Cousin is worth trying.
While nothing we had was exceptionally memorable, everything was well-prepared and made for an enjoyable meal overall. The highlight was our waitress--she was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the night.
Extremely Disappointed – Overcharged and Unfriendly Management
I was visiting San Francisco w/ my family and made a reservation at this restaurant using my phone. While booking, it mentioned a $50 no-show fee, but nothing about it being per person. We were two adults and one child (11 years old). Due to a perso
We did the 8 course pairing on a Saturday evening.
Reservations were easily obtainable. Parking wasn't terrible on residential streets. Hosts and main server were professional and on point with friendly banter, without being overbearing. The rest of the service staff was terrible. I had my phon

From the moment we walked in, the upbeat but never-overbearing music set the tone--cool, current, and just the right volume to keep the energy lively without drowning conversation. The setting was warm and inviting, and the whole place had a refreshi
Good food, service to be improved
We booked this restaurant as I read some good reviews and it was close to our house in SF. The venue is quite relaxed and easy going. It was a bit dark, so I had to use a torch to be able to read the menu. I was a bit disappointed about the service,
We came here for restaurant week.
Reservations were pretty easy to come by. We were greeted and sat right away and the staff was super friendly, especially our server. We were really excited to try the lobster risotto on the menu, which was a little extra and definitely the worth it

I always come here during Restaurant Week - can't go wrong with anything on the menu and great service. Highlight is the uni créme brulee.
Came here for a GNO.
Never thought this place was such a cute Italian restaurant in sf. Food came out pretty fast, but everything was delicious. Sorry, I didn't get a chance to take pictures of all our dishes. Service was also great. They gave me a birthday card fo
Left me puzzled - what is the acclaim about
I had high hopes for 3rd Cousin, a cozy restaurant poised to be a true neighborhood gem, especially with its Michelin mention. Unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations. The food, while passable, lacked the creativity and finesse I’

We really felt like one of the family at 3rd Cousin.
We enjoyed the tasting menu for my husband's 30th birthday. Everything was amazing! Every single course was spectacular and unique in its own special way and we looked forward to the next plate. The wine tasting was beautifully paired to each dish as

The tasting menu was great and their wine selection was fairly extensive. They also were able to easily adjust items for those with dietary restrictions (gluten-free). However.... 3rd Cousin charges a 7 percent mandatory service charge which is unet

3rd Cousin is a complete gem - in our recent experience we were wowed by every dish that came out. The lobster risotto is a mainstay on the menu and we can never resist! The chef/proprietor, Greg, is the nicest guy and really makes you feel at home
Had an overall enjoyable experience and would give this a 4.
5/5. Great food selection but some minor areas of improvement. They had a well curated 5-course tasting menu available for Tues-Thurs midweek special. Reservations can be made online using Tock or for my large group I was able to email and coordinate

My friends and I checked out 3rd Cousin during restaurant week, since we wanted to try their set three-course meal. For each course, we had three options to choose from. I went with the asparagus soup to start, steak for my main, and wrapped up with

Absolutely outstanding, distinguished by being top class without pretension. Tucked away in Bernal Heights, small, cozy, elegant and modest, simple decor that felt classy and warm. We did the tasting menu. Highlights were: - Tempura Oyster, Kaboc
Nice date night for SF restaurant week.
Located in Bernal Heights with an indoor and outdoor seating. If you're sitting outdoors, there's heat lamps and they provide blankets which is thoughtful. Food was well prepared with the exception of the Wagyu dumplings where the skin was too thic
Nobody Asked For Your Ego With Dinner
I just want to preface that I've worked in fine dining for 10+ years and have NEVER complained about service once, but this was an experience unlike anything I've ever had (and have been trained to avoid in my career) I understand Valentine's Day se

We came with the intention of trying the uni crème brûlée and did a la carte. The savory crème brûlée was truly one of a kind and we asked for more crostinis to wipe the ramekin clean. That's how you know it's worth it.The octopus was delicious
Great place for dinner.
Didn't do the chefs tasting and went a la carte instead. Everything we had was spectacular. Started with burrata, uni crème brûlée, scallops and for the main went with the short and filet minion, the lobster risotto and truffle ravioli. Everything

Came for Valentine's Day dinner!! We had made reservations ahead of time, but our host didn't seat us until 20 minutes afterwards. He was also a little rude and seemed kind of "over it". Our server definitely made up for it because she was

Everything we had in the tasting menu was tasty! The restaurant is unpretentious but delivers excellent service and food. Chef Greg seemed to be going around to every table to serve some dishes, say hi and check on guests (multiple times). We really
OMG! This place is incredible.
Our first visit and what an amazing experience we had. We were celebrating a new job for me and my wife's birthday, even though it's not until next Friday. The staff were also incredible, in particular Jessie at front of house and Sarah who helped us
Super cute joint in bernal heights.
Food is delicious and nicely presented. Tiny portions though !! Service is horrendous. No one is listening to what you are asking. Our small group is in food / service industry. We are all business owners and were super nice and friendly asking simp
I think management is great food is great.
But make sure you have reservations. Highly recommend the octopus.
Chef's Tasting Menu: totally overpriced
I had the Chef's Tasting Menu and left with mixed feelings. While the service was very good and considerate, the quality of the nine courses was pretty varied. Some outstanding dishes were followed by pretty mediocre ones. Especially the meat (veniso

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to 3rd Cousin San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the 3rd Cousin San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at 3rd Cousin San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at 3rd Cousin San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
