What a memorable experience, really incredible. We had the best time enjoying every course that was presented to us by the witty and knowledgeable staff. We also did the wine pairing, and that added a lot to the meal and fun. The food is so inventive and delicious! So much thought is clearly put into the planning and preparation. Yes, it is expensive, but worth every penny!
Overall the food was outstanding here. We had an amazing night out and enjoyed both the atmosphere of Lazy Bear and the culinary creations from start to finish. The whole experience was next level! It has to be said that the staff were also amazing— they’re hiring a really great and eclectic group here. The experience was really fun and they seem to have a wonderful culture at Lazy Bear that comes though during service. Wine pairings were next level (and we ENJOY wine)— we were definitely surprised by some new favourites. Awesome sommeliers and it was a treat picking their brains a bit. :)A few feedback notes: on the night we were there (a Saturday) flowers at the tables were browsing at the edges and the vases (ours was clear) showed very murky / dirty water that needed to be changed. This is a detail not many would notice, but having worked at a florist I did and it made this a bit unappetizing to start. Toward the end (ish) of the meal we received a jelly (I believe mint in flavour) but this was the only pallet (ish) cleanser we’d received the whole meal, if it was even meant as such. I normally don’t look for these but found with so many different plates and flavour profiles 1-2 throughout would have made the experience so much better! A bit heavy on the (raw) fish to start but overall it was amazing and I’d highly recommend going if you can snag a reservation! xo
I’m glad I went! I thoroughly enjoyed the creative, innovative, and tasty food and the spot-on drinks pairing. However, the speed at which they dropped off the courses along with the speedy delivery of the accompanying explanation (of both food and drinks) left both of us with a less than stellar impression of the Lazy Bear. This is not a food issue because as I mentioned it was worthy of the star and each course quite delicious. I think our most memorable portion of the experience was the after-dinner drinks in the den with desserts (a worthy upcharge over the standard tasting menu). There at least we were allowed to relax, take our time and enjoy the combination of desserts with a trio of Chateau D’Yquem dessert wines.
Great food (probably one of the best in SF), but too busy and staff is overwhelmed with work. Also pretty loud.
Great place! Food was amazing !
Aside from the quality of the food, the staff made it one of the best experiences we’ve had. They made the entire dinner fun and it was like having dinner with friends. Would give it a 6/5 if I could.
Wow ? what an experience! It can be a bit pricey but I was celebrating my 30th birthday. It was a very unique memorable experience. Food was delicious and we did the desert wine package. Drinking chateau Yquem which was vintage making them very rare wines. All the staff helps make the experience amazing Ava’s they are super knowledgeable and charismatic. Absolutely a must do if you are in the San Francisco Bay Area.
One of my favorites—place always delivers.Inventive and tasty food and cocktails.Can improve on food substitutions .A++ service?a must try
Came here for my birthday dinner. Had been wanting to try this place forever, but reservations are so hard to come by for this restaurant. The food here is to die for! High quality and extremely well prepared. Service is impeccable as well. Lazy Bear is highly deserving of its two Michelin stars!
This is an experience. Delicious food. I'd say similar to Eleven Madison Park but without the frou ha ha uppity people; instead, it's the bobos, the bourgeois bohemians in their buffalo plaid Prada. JK!! The food is amazing and there's such a wonderful story about the sourcing of every dish. If Buzzfeed did a Worth It episode with this as the top tier restaurant, this would definitely win as worth it. The staff members are super kind and attentive as well, not to mention knowledgeable!
