"Food was good, but not WoW! My colleague's bacon wrapped pork tenderloin (a "signature dish") was tasty but FAR too much food: three towers of 2 inch tall tenderloin was 2-3 too many. Two days later, I can't remember what I ordered. Maybe it was the Halibut. Good food, but not memorable.
Also, I was bit surprised when the waiter mentioned Char in a dish he was featuring. When I expressed enthusiam for the Char, and wondered if I could purchase an extra portion or a side order, the waiter said he did not think the Chef would permit it. (Whatever happened to "Give the customer what he wants").
Extensive wine selection with some good labels; far better than average...but very expensive: avg 3-4X mark-up."

"Dinner for four: The server didn't write any of our orders down, and had to return to ask us again what we ordered. When the amuse bouche arrived, all four servings had pork in them despite the fact we notified the server of one vegetarian. Worse yet, our vegetarian's appetizer (the beet carpaccio) arrived about five minutes after my duck and my girlfriend's oysters. Finally, the wine pairings arrived 10-15 minutes late for each course. When asked, the server could not tell us anything about the dishes other than what she believed was popular with other diners. Overall, the food was very good, but the service didn't live up to their Michelin star. For fine dining, I prefer Michael Mina or Jardiniere."

"In spite of living in San Francisco for many years, I really didn't know anything about One Market. I picked it, quite frankly, for its proximity to the BART station as girlfriends from the East Bay were joining my for dinner. However, when I told my husband where we were headed for dinner, he made some offhand comment about the fact that we never go anywhere that fancy. Only then did I look at the website are begin to undertand what he was fussing about. A Michelin Star right under my nose all this time?
I had the "Weekly Beast" 5 course tasting menu. I was a little worried that I'd be ducked out my the second course, but it did not disappoint... a very interesting mix flavors. Definetly workth another visit!"

"Food has been spotty! This is my second trip where the food was not as good as expected. One dish was good, one was awful (a specialty dish), but the sides were great! Not much flexibility for any special diets... Overall, okay, but not nearly the experience I had expected..."
