Luce Restaurant San Francisco Reviews from The Last Year
Had a lovely dining experience at Luce.
We opted for the $75 SF Restaurant Week Menu and added on the $40 optional wine pairing. On top of that, we caved in and splurged on the caviar. Our waiter did throw in an extra wine to pair with it, which was much appreciated! The wines were all European-based. Out of the wines, I really enjoyed the sparkling riesling from Germany. Order in which food was served: - Amuse bouche: scallop with tomato paste (I didn't see it listed on the menu, so pardon my simplistic description) reminded me of an elevated bagel bite (that's meant to be a compliment). - Sunchoke veloute with crab and green garlic oil: Everything about this dish was amazing! The vegetal and umami flavors from the soup, crab, and garlic oil all blended so well together. Definitely a favorite! - Homemade sourdough bread with confit garlic butter: Freshly baked bread with literal melt-in-your-mouth butter spread. - Caviar with avocado vichyssoise mousse and squid ink muffins filled with egg yolk gel paired with sparkling prosecco: Enjoyed every delectable bite. Loved the light, airy texture of the mousse and the caviar and mousse paired well with the squid ink muffins. - Duck breast with pistachio praline, parsnips, and mandarinquat: This was probably my "least" favorite of the dishes, but still quite enjoyable. The way the duck breast was cooked made it almost taste like steak. I enjoyed the pistachio praline sauce and mandarinquat sauces, but wasn't quite sure whether they was supposed to be paired with the duck or the parsnips. The parsnips were cooked well, but quite bland on their own. - Yuzu cheesecake and coconut gelato: Delightful! I'm not normally a fan of coconut flakes, but I enjoyed the way they toasted them and the yuzu and coconut flavors were apparent. After all that dessert plus the apple moscato, the cup of tea was the perfect way to end the evening. Service was excellent throughout. They changed out dishware, refilled out waters, wiped down the table between dishes, and checked in on us just the right amount. This made for a great date night spot and fine dining experience.
TLDR: Had a great experience dining at Luce over the
TLDR: Had a great experience dining at Luce over the weekend. Not often you find this level of fine dining at a hotel, my partner and I were pleasantly surprised. Every dish was delicious and creatively composed. Would recommend! Food: 9/10 we opted for the 10 course spring tasting menu. Dishes were all really well seasoned and has interesting play on flavors. Stand outs was the "hanging garden", and the mushroom+bread course was absolutely delicious. The seafood pasta was a miss for me in terms of messy plating and flavor, the chorizo flavor over powers the seafood and the corn bits was a strange texture add that was slightly dry/chewy. Some elements could use more finesse, but overall really tasty. We did the wine pairing as well and the pairing was excellent, really adds to the flavors well. Ambience: 7/10 the restaurant wasn't busy but we were seated by a pole in between two tables along the entrance, it felt a bit cramped and you can hear noise from the bar outside. Overall decor is a bit dated and plain, but still nice and has interesting light fixture. Service: 6/10 services across the staff was prompt and attentive. However our main server doesn't seem to be great at understanding customer needs and sometimes dismissive. I was taking my partner out to dinner as a treat for his birthday so there was moments I tried to whisper to the server about surprise or the bill, but multiple times he just decides to yell it out to my partner right afterwards. It felt really embarrassing. I had also request for an dish add on for just my tasting, but our waiter declared that my partner will also have it, and then proceed to charge double add-on entree at the end when it was our intention to just share one. That unfortunately left a slight bad taste for our experience.
Our waiter was nice and the food was ok.
The courses menu was what added to the experience but overall it was just ok.
I don't often post reviews, but it's not often that I enjoy
I don't often post reviews, but it's not often that I enjoy a meal so awe inspiring that it warrants a review. Luce is not dining; it is experiencing art. Each course was more beautiful than the next and the flavors so intriguing that the dishes felt different than other fine dining places I have visited. The meal started with a golden egg and each subsequent course offered a visual and culinary delight. From fish that was accompanied by a fish shaped cutout to sorbet garnished with edible flowers, each dish was more beautiful than the next. What's more, the staff went above and beyond to provide impeccable service. We had two vegetarians, two pescaterians and two carnivores with some allergy and alcohol restrictions as well. The kitchen beautifully prepared everyone's meals, even mixing up some festive mocktails. The wine pairing was perfect. From customized menus to individual name cards to four dessert courses, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel special for my birthday. I'm already counting down the days until next year's celebration.
I had the tasting menu at Luce with a group of six people
I had the tasting menu at Luce with a group of six people in honor of my friend's birthday, and the experience transported our group to another world during our 12 course journey! As soon as we got to the restaurant, the host greeted us personally before bringing us to an elegant round table by the window that made it easy to have a single conversation, something that we appreciated while discussing each of the dishes! Our journey wowed us from the start when a tiny, entirely gold-covered, soft boiled egg arrived in a ceramic dish. You will have to go yourself to see what shape this dish is... And that was only the beginning. At one point, our senses were delightfully surprised when a meteorite landed on our table, hiding cauliflower under an espresso tiramisu served in a black rocky shell. My favorite savory dish was the terrarium, which came in a tiny glass jar. When the server removed the lid, your eyes and nose filled with the aroma of warm herbs, tahini and Jerusalem Artichokes. They saved the best for dessert. The truffled chocolate with hazelnut and mushrooms surprised me with a combination of savory and sweet in every bite that left me wanting to bring home this dish for myself and every member of my family. If you're searching for an edible adventure, Luce is for you. Your taste buds (and Instagram feed?!) will thank you.
My absolute favorite place in SF now.
I was transcended to food heaven. I took my sister here for her Birthday. We had a great time. The service was exceptional. The wine pairing was amazing. The place is warm and welcoming.
I arrived earlier than my appt, but was able to be seated.
We went through a few servers, and some were very insightful with what the course was good to be like. The food was on the heavier side and told us one shared plate was more than enough. The service as great, and the food was plated so well. It was whimsical and tasty. The scallop was cooked perfectly also.
The food was very delicious and the service excellent.
Perfect way to enjoy a New Year's Eve dinner.

My husband and I recently enjoyed the tasting menu for his birthday. What a treat! Every course was yummy, inventive, and lovingly paired with wines that elevated the experience. Presentation, including dinnerware, was memorable. Waitstaff / sommelier were knowledgeable and engaging. The restaurant itself was modern in decor and inviting. Chef Dennis came out to chat and we enjoyed stories of his childhood cooking adventures. All in all, a terrific celebration!
I always love a good comeback! With a creative & hawt new
I always love a good comeback! With a creative & hawt new Chef. Luce historically maintained culinary brilliance with a failing star due to COVID19 closures; ready for that deserving Michelin Star. Luce a culinary oasis tucked away in the heart of the city, presents an experience that is nothing short of enchanting. Despite its current rating, this establishment stands as a testament to culinary excellence, deserving of the Michelin star that seems to have eluded it. The chef-inspired cuisine at Luce the eight or more like 11-course tasting menu with wine pairing and supplements ARE a journey that transcends geographical boundaries, blending contemporary Mediterranean and European flavors with influences from around the world. The result is a menu that boasts eclectic tastes, natural ingredients, and an inventive flair that promises a dining experience like no other and it just did tonight for our 2nd month wedding anniversary. Samir is the best! The culinary adventure begins with a menu that reads like a love letter to flavors, showcasing a commitment to excellence that is evident from the first bite. The appetizers, a symphony of textures and tastes, set the stage for what should be a Michelin-starred performance. Dishes such as the caviar sunflower and the delicately seared scallops on the blue Mediterranean Sea demonstrate a level of sophistication that is truly praiseworthy. Moving on to the main courses, the diverse influences from around the world come to the forefront. The meticulously prepared Japanese A5 Wagyu & Halibut, a fusion of Mediterranean and Asian influences, is a highlight that leaves taste buds dancing in delight. The chef's inventive flair shines through in the dishes showcasing an admirable ability to seamlessly integrate global inspirations into a cohesive and memorable culinary narrative. Luce is a hidden gem that, despite its current falling star, deserves a Michelin star for its chef-inspired cuisine that effortlessly blends the best of Mediterranean and global influences. Our experience tonight; Luce reclaims its stardom and shines brightly among the culinary constellations. For those seeking an exquisite dining experience that marries eclectic flavors with inventive flair, Luce is a destination worthy of a second look and, perhaps, a well-deserved Michelin star.
Service is friendly and great.
Although being one of two tables on a Friday/Saturday night means there are more servers than guests, so that may have something to do with it. The service is why Luce gets two stars. On the food, it is fairly clear they will be out of business soon. Not only is nobody coming to eat here, it is clear why not. One can't taste the crab in the crab salad. Thai flavoring and Peruvian spicing dominates most of the dish. Unsure if the crab is out of a can. Chicken dish is rubbery but nicely fried. The butternut squash was pleasant. Overall mediocre as a dish. The steak was dry and mealy. The sauce was kept on the table to further dress the steak as you eat since the meat itself will not be appetizing. Needs to be drowned with sauce to be edible. The meat is grainy and dry. The "noodles" next to the steak did not taste remotely good. The pumpkin dessert was tasty. The chocolate dessert had a vile and questionable fruit pairing that destroyed the actually nice and rich chocolate. Genuinely confusing how most of the ingredients in the dishes were paired. The flavors either did not complement each other or destroyed the other elements of the dish. Very clear how Luce has lost a Michelin star and no longer is even Michelin guide.
A must visit in San Francisco.
The food and wine pairing was absolute perfection! Beautiful presentation, delicious food, pure perfection. Plan on arriving early if you are not in hurry to savor every bite and every sip because it's absolutely worth it! Food is served with class, elegance, and informative. You will learn everything about the ingredients, and the origin of the wine! Perfect for date nights, celebrations, spacious restaurant, with a lot of privacy!
The pictures of the food don't do justice here as you can't
The pictures of the food don't do justice here as you can't taste how really good it is but trust that you eat with your eyes as well.
EXCELLENT SERVICE!
Group seated in a private dining room and served by approximately for wait staff. Very excellent service. A pre-prepared menu of quite fine food. We were guests – – although I believe the price to be expensive.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
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.
