Underwhelming
I made reservations based upon the NYT “Top 25 Restaurants in San Francisco”. Was difficult to get reservations. Got reservations on A Monday at 5:30 pm. Arrived early…does not open until 5:30! Asked for a quiet table for my wife’s birthday. Got a 2top along the banquet. The restaurant was filled by 5:35! Our server was pressing to give our entire order immediately on the philosophy the food is served family style. Wanted to have cocktails first…so I told the server not to order and bring the food while we were having cocktails. Needless to say the salads were delivered after a few minutes of receiving the cocktails. The server who delivered the salads stated that she did not know we wanted to wait. This is a major problem with this and many other restaurants in the USA. We ordered the winter citrus salad and the roasted cauliflower salad (which was largely broccoli). Both had similar sauces and masked the underlying flavor of the vegetables/fruit. The main course was the bone-in pork chop. The Bone was separated from the meat and was overcooked and dry. The sauce was cloying and overpowered the meat itself. Was very disappointing. The other dish was pasta with crab. Mostly pasta with only a hint of crab. Taste was OK but not great. Wine list and cocktails OK. Service was harried and deemed mediocre. Overall for the price of the food it was clearly substandard. Expect to pay a lot for mediocrity. As another reviewer said this is no “progress”. Hard to want to return for a second chance.

This restaurant was a great experience from the minute we walked in. The service impeccable, the ambiance fun, and the starters and main courses phenomenal. Hubby’s black cod dish was probably the best seafood dish we’ve ever eaten and daughter’s lamb was scrumptious. Desserts were hit and miss but ice cream cake was delicious. You will be amazed as to how flavorful the dishes are!
Be the first to ReplyGreat food, poor wine service for a Michelin starred restaurant
Great food, great wine list. The duck was stupendous. Wine service for a Michelin restaurant was disappointing to say the least. Should be no excuse in a place like this. Took the shine off what could have been a memorable evening

We tried many dishes, all mom which stood out for the delicate taste, creativity of preparation and presentation. The duck was exquisite. Also, excellent wine list.

Be the first to ReplySpectacular Food in Warm Environment
Food: This is arguably the best culinary adventure of my life so far and loved that it's served family-style for everyone to share. We ordered the following 8 dishes (below). All were extremely fresh and tasty but the burrata & scarlet runner beans were my absolute favorite - the perfect combination of textures (crispy beans and melt-in-your-mouth burrata) with the marvelous layering of flavors (earthy beans, creamy cheese, topped with zesty pomelo). caviar potato cloud 12. - almost like a potato-flavored bubbles around salty, briny sea bubbles riverdog farm pig head 16. fennel, shinko pear & chile fish sauce - tender, almost paper-thin sliced salty contrasted with pear burrata & scarlet runner beans 20. pomelo, avocado & lemongrass-guava (see above) zuckerman farm asparagus 17. carmelized onion & marcona almond - tender asparagus with delectable savory onions paired with crispy almond coal roasted peas & crispy galangal tofu 16. rhubarb, cashew, rau ram & lime local halibut crudo 22. cherry aguachile, fava beans & basil grilled alaskan halibut 42. artichoke barigoule, alubla blanca beans & green garlic - perfectly cooked halibut fried ‘whole’ mcfarland springs trout 72. blue corn, mandarin, tomatillo & salsa macha - black-rice batter perfectly protected the trout allowing it to be cooked to perfection Service was almost impeccable. The only downside was our party had asked for hot water and lemon, which the server agreed brought the hot water but forgot the lemon. We reminded her again but by the end of service she still didn't bring the lemon. Not a big deal, especially given we arrived towards the end of service (8:30p) but nevertheless was a slight hiccup in our otherwise flawless service experience. Ambience: The Progress offers an elevated but not stuffy dining experience. You walk into a small waiting reservation where you're greeted by the maitre d'. You can see a casual bar area, which is usually full. The main dining room features plenty of plants, which downplay the two-story ceilings making the experience feel incredibly comfortable and not ostentatious at all. Note: there isn't much of a waiting area. I'd recommend bringing a warm jacket if it's cold outside. Value: The total for our dinner came out to $293.30 (food, tax, and tip), which is $75/person. While it is 'pricy' we felt the culinary adventure was definitely worth the price, especially for a special occasion.

We loved every aspect of The Progress. The atmosphere was warm and inviting - clearly a high-end place - but without feeling the least bit stuffy. The service was friendly and extremely professional. Food and drinks were both creative and perfectly executed. The chefs creativity came through in the layering of flavors in each dish. Highly recommended.
Be the first to ReplyDown to earth and extraordinary
Though this is among the best and most adventurous meals I’ve ever had, this is not a hoity-toity place. It’s as down to earth as it gets. The Maitre d’ had sparkling eyes and a killer smile and was friendly and helpful and not dressed up at all. The waiters were kind and funny and personable. And the food was unique and delicious and nuanced and complex and — I have to say it again — DELICIOUS. Everything we tried was scrumptious and had many levels of flavor. If you like food adventures, this place is for you.
Be the first to ReplyLayers of flavor and texture
On this visit we were not able to get into State Bird, so we decided to try The Progress. This was a nice change after dining at SB numerous times. I requested for the bartender to make a special cocktail using certain spirits--and the drink he made was sublime. Beautiful and lovely on the palate. Only suggestion--the cocktail ice in the glass was too big for the smaller glass, every time I took a sip--I spilled drink on my shirt. The dishes were amazing in flavor and contrasting texture. The shishito pepper was my least favorite--waxy, chewy and skin was not well blistered--perhaps a different combination of sauces? Crispy Tofu was amazing, the butter beans were taken to a higher meaning and quite incredible all small dishes were refreshing and delightful. The interior design was well thought out and loads of natural light. Service was right on par with a slight pretense. Thank you!!

We absolutely loved this place. We went on recommendation of our waitress at Seven Hills. The food was amazing! We had the shisheito peppers, dumplings, hen, and halibut. The perfectly constructed flavors of each dish were so good. We had a bottle of wine, a Spanish Grenache, also very good. Service was impeccable. We will be back someday.
Be the first to ReplyArtful Dishes
Couple of things to be aware of Reservation area must, they book up quickly,I made mine about 2 weeks in advance. Parking is not the friendliest, so ride sharing will most likely be your best option. We dined on a Tuesday and our reservations were for 8:15 p.m., we were seated about 10 minutes from checking in. The ambiance was lively, our waiter was very versed in the menu. He broke down the dishes so we got a full understanding of what the dish was, which made the dishes very enticing and easy to narrow down our choices. Our party consisted of 3 adults and we ordered: Beets Marinated in Yuzu ( a citrus delight, very refreshing) Tempura Artichoke ( made with rice flour, airy, crispy no trace of oil) Local Halibut Crudo ( cooked to perfection, flaky, very moist, full of flavor) Grilled Lamb ( a good portion to share, cooked to perfection, lots of flavor, accompanied with a surprising turnip 3 ways) Coconut Custard for dessert ( we normally skip dessert but decided to finish properly, it was a delicious surprise ) We were all very happy, happy with all the dishes. It was enough food to feel satisfied without feeling like we over indulged. The first 3 dishes and dessert were small and the 2 meats the perfect size for sharing. Would love to return and experience the duck when I return to the Bay Area, it looked amazing.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious and unique dishes!
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I checked out the menu online. But, I knew we were in good hands as soon as we ordered a drink at the bar. Just watching the bartender make our drinks with style and fresh ingredients, I knew we were in good hands. The weird ven diagram menu doesn’t do the dishes justice. Definitely let the servers describe the menu. We loved every dish - potato cloud and caviar, grilled cabbage, fried asparagus and the duck was incredible. Every dish was delicious, in season and unique. The service was friendly and professional. Only issue was the space was a little loud, so not the place for a quiet conversation. We will definitely be back!

More casual than I expected but very good, try the duck and the squid ink pasta. Nice cocktails though we brought our own wine.
Be the first to ReplySimply, delicious
Had to wait a bit, despite having a reservation. Well worth the wait. The food was delicious, the cocktails fantastic.
Be the first to ReplyUnwrapping one surprise after another
This place is just wonderful - creative and innovative, with each dish coming out as a completely surprising explosion of flavor and textures. From the flatbread roti, to the rather superstar duck dishes, this place has it all. The service is beyond belief--even on a crowded holiday evening, with our waiter helping us through the menu, suggesting how many dishes to order (family style), and other helpful advice. Could not hope for more exciting happy birthday!

The Progress is our son’s favorite SF restaurant so they put it at the top of the list for our recent visit, and we loved it. We loved the decor/vibe and the shared plate approach, and our servers were excellent. We really enjoyed the signature duck, but our favorite dishes were the rabbit, radishes, and brussel sprouts. And the milk punch was a great way to top off the meal. Given the price, it’s definitely a special occasion restaurant, but I’m sure we’ll be back!
