Bellota San Francisco Reviews from The Last Year
Spanish tapas is a challenging cuisine to accomplish
Spanish tapas is a challenging cuisine to accomplish successfully, especially here stateside, but the team at Bellota has managed to succeed on every level from their eclectic menu filled with an abundance of choices to their attentive service to the modernity of their dining room and bar. Located on the ground floor of the historic 888 Brannan building that houses the Gift Center and Jewelry Mart in San Francisco's Showplace Square neighborhood, Bellota comes from The Absinthe Group, which is a variety of San Francisco restaurants owned by Bill Russell-Shapiro and led by Eric Vreede, but the current success of Bellota should be credited to Executive Chef Gonzalo Tecuaque, who is the embodiment of the American dream as he worked his way up from dishwasher to line cook to running a kitchen of his own. At Bellota, Chef Tecuaque brings the flavors of his native Veracruz, Mexico to the kitchen's traditional Spanish cuisine by utilizing California's farm fresh ingredients. What brought me here was the fact that Bellota was participating in San Francisco's Restaurant Week for the Spring of 2024, in which local restaurants participate in a week-long promotion where they give diners the opportunity to order a pre-fix meal sold at an affordable price. This way local restaurateurs get to enjoy a little extra business in what is normally a slower time of year, and locals and out-of-towners alike can enjoy a business without breaking the bank. Usually restaurants that participate in Restaurant Week either select the three courses that you are enjoying at a certain price point, or they let you select from three sections of preselected menu items. Here at Bellota, the latter is the case, but with four people in our party our server let us know that they serve their menu items family style for the entire table to enjoy. So we feasted on three dishes from their Pintxo section of their special menu, four dishes from the Tapas section of their special menu, and servings of their Postres or desserts. To begin our meal, we each enjoyed their Bombas de Arroz which are bomba rice fritters topped with romesco and piquillo peppers. Then we shared two servings each of their Serrano platter, which was sliced jamón serrano served with pan con tomate, and their Queso which was a Spanish version of a cheese plate which was filled with manchego cheese, membrillo which is a sweet paste that pairs well with manchego and torta de aceite, which is a Spanish sweet biscuit. For our entrées, enjoyed their Gambas, which are olive oil poached gulf prawns served in garlic and chili and served with toasted baguettes; their Carrilladas, which were braised pork cheek served on a bed of potato puree, baby carrots and English peas; their Esparragos which are California green asparagus, topped with poached eggs, manchego foam and olive oil migas; and their Bravas which are their crisped-Kennebec potatoes, served on bed of chipotle bravas salsa and topped with smoky aioli. There was so much food to enjoy over these first two courses we could not decide which ones were our favorites, but the highlights for us had to have been their Serrano jamón during our first course, and both the Gambas and Carrilladas during our main course, as all three dishes were composed in such a thoughtful way as every ingredient was used with purpose and therefore every mouthful turned out to be a feast for the senses. The meat was so tender that it melted in your mouth, the shrimp so flavorful and abundant that our party of four could not finish every bite. For our dessert course we enjoyed their Crema Catalana which was their galleta de anise or creme brûlée topped with fresh berries. It was the perfect way to end the perfect meal, and our bill was a little over two hundred dollars, which in this day and age is a real steal considering the cost and the amount of ingredients that went into each dish. When looking at their regular dinner menu, they have a regular tasting menu sold at fifty dollars a diner, when it is not restaurant week, which too seems like a real deal, and their signature paellas averaged only 60 dollars, which is something I would come back for no matter the price. With live music playing in their lively bar, and an open kitchen that abuts their entrance, it's a real show going here on a daily basis, and I would personally raise a glass of Tempranillo wine now that I know what a real gem that Belotta happens to be!

Came here with my friend for SF Restaurant week! For $45/person, we shared: * Their bomb rice fritters: tasty- crispy and has a little of sweetness to them * Serrano ham and their bread with the tomato spread - a classic! * Queso - delicious manchego * Gambas - Juice and well cooked shrimps, great sauce to dip in * Carriladas - the braised pork cheek was tender and it went really well with the potato purée * Crema Cataleña - Great dessert to end our meal! Reminds of a creme brûlée Definitely a great way to try Bellota for a great value! Service was efficient and the decor was really nice inside!
One of my favorite tapas spots in the bay.
The squid ink paella is on point especially with that soccarat. The branzino was cooked perfectly. Good selection of iberico jamon but dang those patatas bravas animal style w iberico hit hard.

Came for SF restaurant week! Started with house vermut, and it was satisfying. Hint of being back in Spain! Serrano - okay, enjoyed the pan con tomate, wanted more. Manchego- comes with 2 carb types, both tasty! Bombas de arroz - fun fritters! Enjoyed this. Croquettes - small, unexpected sweetness! Gambas - poached prawns in garlic chili and crispy bread! Carrilladas - braised pork cheeks, soft and savory! Over a tasty bed of potatoes, peas, and carrots! Crema catalana- the cream brûlée, doesn't required the spoon to crack the sugar topping.
Went for Dinner Food - 4/5.
Bravas had a good crunch and were seasoned well. I was disappointed that the sauces were quiet standard and the overall dish barely differentiated itself from regular french fries. Tortilla was smooth with bits of soft potato. The crisped Brussels were great at giving it texture and some flavor as well since the tortilla itself was on the bland side. Pulpo was great having a tender bite and avoiding any kind of rubbery mouthfeel. It had good seasoning and the bits of char gave it extra flavor. Pescado had the iconic firm fish texture and the generous amounts of mojo rojo gave it a creamy and smoky flavor. The coco bread was a great accompaniment and the pickled onions acted as a nice palate cleanser. Both paella flavors were excellent with their own distinct taste. Lechon was rich and hearty from the pork and root vegetables. Mariscos was elegant and light from the fresh seafood and peppers. Rice really soaked up the flavors of each and formed a nice crust at the bottom. Service - 4/5. Professional and courteous service befitting a fine dining establishment. Value - 2/5. The price tag really made you ask yourself "it was good, but was it many dollars good?" to which I would say it goes from varies to no. The tapas were the worst offenders as the all vegetable tortilla was a whopping $26; definitely not worth it. Bravas being $18 and being so simplistic also gave me buyer's remorse and for $26, the pulpo was too small. While on the expensive side, the $48 pescado and $68 paella was at least a delicious experience with good portion sizes. I understand that prices reflect the area, but this was too much.

A Spanish restaurant located in SoMa, conveniently located
A Spanish restaurant located in SoMa, conveniently located near all the bars. It's actually in airbnbs HQ do you get glimpses of their super nice office! Highlights: bravas: these are actually divine definitely the highlight of the entire meal- perfectly crispy and it's dipped in the same sauce as the paella mamacita: it's a tropical cold brew cocktail so you get the sweetness from a marg but then the coffee of an espresso martini yum Our table also got two salads (both I personally can pass on) and the paella (the pork belly one is pretty good kinda like an adobo dish but there wasn't much char from a traditional paella dish that I like) All and all a great place for tapas & girls night- personally would stick to appetizers instead of a big meal
Absolutely delicious and loved attention to detail service.
I'm pretty down to earth but it's nice when there is a difference made and service and quality.

Came here for a corporate team dinner and it was a great experience!! We ended up ordering a huge amount of food and had so many leftovers but the food was great. Would say the paella could have some more flavor especially the seafood one but the other tapas were great :)
Came here for a Valentine's Day dinner and had a great time.
We had a reservation and were seated immediately. The food was not only delicious, but also had amazing presentation. The live music added a nice touch to the overall vibe of the restaurant as well. We ordered the bravas and the lechon and mariscos paella. The potatoes in the bravas dish were delightfully crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and the perfect shared plate to munch on while we were waiting for the paella to come. Both paella dishes were beautiful and tasty; I loved the variety of the seafood on the mariscos and how tender the pork was on the lechon dish. The dinner was a bit on the pricier side, but I'd say it was worth it for a special date night. Overall great meal and great experience!

Discovered an almost $700 charge on my credit card when NEVER there. Awaiting a call from someone from the restaurant to address their corrective action. A police report has been filed. Unbelievably upsetting.
Gorgeous interior but imo best bar/lounge in SF.
Sat at bar and caught up w an old friend. Nice buzz on a Wednesday night. 2 burgers couple cocktails each and dessert. Really glad they updated the menu and especially happy they added a delicious signature burger w a blend of Iberico pork and beef. Friendly pro service.
I used to love everything I had from here but the Setas
I used to love everything I had from here but the Setas paella was not great. Rice was not throughly cooked, and the radish did not seem to go well with the rest of ingredients.
I'd purchase a gallon of the pomegranate caramel that came
I'd purchase a gallon of the pomegranate caramel that came with the flan de naranja, and that's about the only memorable thing from this evening. The food at Bellota is not bad by any means, but it certainly doesn't taste like it's from Spain (source: I grew up in Spain). The prices attached to the menu items are also nowhere near those you'd be paying for paella in Spain. I'm definitely feeling underwhelmed with a dinner that consisted of 4 items that I spent $200+ on. We ordered the bravas and coliflor, both of which tasted good but nothing to write home about. The sauce underneath the coliflor tasted very acidic which was unexpected for a creamy sauce. Not my favorite. For our main, we shared the paella de setas which also didn't taste like any vegetarian paella I've ever had and ended up being the priciest item of the evening. Again, it wasn't bad but if I was to come back, I wouldn't reorder it. The best item we had tonight was the flan. I'm normally not a fan of flan because of its jello-like texture, but this was really firm and tasted almost like a cheesecake. Also, as mentioned, the pomegranate caramel was a 10/10. Service was good - not very friendly but not bad at all. Ambiance was stellar; the restaurant is located in a gorgeous and very artsy space and the live music was a nice touch. Don't know if I'll necessarily be back but I'm glad I tried it out!
This is Bellota which means acorn in Spanish .
The name is derived from the acorn feed they feed the pigs . There were no acorns in the menu. Sorry squirrels . Located near mission bay adjacent to REI, indulge in the flavors of Spain at Bellota. Pair their innovative paella or medium sized tapas with their hand-crafted cocktails . Here are some food we tried : 1 . Croqueta- jamón-&-green garlic croqueta, pickled ramp, green garlic salsa 2 . Pan- toasted, Spanish-style bread, tomate fresco, garlic olive oil 3 . Paella costilla - paella of pimenton-braised short rib, gypsy pepper, cherry tomato, romano bean, torpedo onion https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwCIN6LKHi_/?igsh=ZDE1MWVjZGVmZQ==
small bites and beef
The food was top notch and the had live music in the bar area - went on a weeknight and they seem to wrap up early
UNQUALIFIED
I never thought I would ever go through a situation like this. We have been to several countries around the world, including several cities in the United States, and I have never felt as offended as I did today in this restaurant. After paying more than 150 dollars for a burnt paella and a sangria that only had alcohol, especially because I had to ask for honey to sweeten it, we decided not to leave any tip. we paid more than 15% in taxes on the meal. We were already outside waiting for the Uber to the hotel when we were, in a completely ridiculous and absurd way, approached by the employee asking us for a tip. It was even inconvenient to force us to tip. He said we had to tip because he lived in San Francisco and had bills to pay. what?????? We obviously didn't and this type of attitude, whether or not it is in everyday culture, is unacceptable. zero zero but zero elegance and quality. Obviously I won't be back and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone
Love the place / food/ Wines!
That was a huge experience in SF! Nice place, Crazy food and amazing wine menue! You will find your pleasure! Love the place! PS: try this spanish red wine « Mauro » ;)
Excellent, authentic Spanish food
We had not been back to Bellota since the Covid restriction days. What a pleasure to sit inside this beautiful space and enjoy absolutely delicious food. The cocktails and tapas were all excellent. The paella was great and more than enough for the 4 of us to share, Our server was terrific. And the sommelier was extremely helpful in advising about the extensive wine list. We're all eager to return for another great meal.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Newbie sellers— how fast do your reservations sell?
I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!

Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
