The vibe was perfect. Loved everything from the walk in, to the seating outside under the tarp ceiling with plenty of outdoor heaters and movie playing. The waiter appeared to be having a rough day, so nothing held against them. They were still helpful, friendly and efficient. The food was incredible, great portions and reasonably priced for what you got. Highly recommend for a unique and memorable experience.

One of my favorite restaurants in SF - always a classic and always on point.
Dinner was so great I forgot to take pics of the food and drinks!
Service was a little slow, but it was Saturday night and very busy... c'est la vie.

I was here for a small wedding. The location is a little unexpected, in a rougher part of town, but that only adds to the charm. It's a large place, with several rooms with tall ceilings. They project movies onto the walls. It had an intimate and soft feel to the atmosphere. The food was first rate, for our experience we had multiple small plates hand crafted by the chef, salads, scallops, braised meat. There was also a bartender, and the cocktails were exquisite and skillfully made, we got a chance to directly compare, coincidentally stopping for the same kind at a local bar right before arriving. I hope to come back for the regular service someday

A must see. I had brunch there over the weekend. But it's not just the food that makes Foreign Cinema an unforgettable experience. The setting itself is a work of art. Dining under the starlit sky in the open-air courtyard, with classic films projected on the wall, creates an ambiance like no other. It's a place where every moment feels like a celebration of life, love, and exceptional cuisine

Great atmosphere. People are happy and the service is great.
Food is good but not fantastic. We ordered the duck breast and pasta as our main dish. The duck breast is tender and tasty but the pasta was a little bland.
Will visit again!

Great dinner experience for 4 with The Titanic on the ‘screen’ for the night. We ordered everything family style so we could taste it all. Highlights were the pork chop and fried chicken mains. All agreed that pork chops are hard to do right but ordered on a recommendation and it didn’t disappoint. Would definitely return to taste more of their menu. The house collab IPA was also solid. Well done, Foreign Cinema!!

I am so happy to have been recommended this place by friends. They were totally right; it's a MUST to try. Came here for a special occasion and I was very impressed with the ambiance & decor, the friendly service, creative menu selections, and or course the tasty food 😋. I would definitely recommend for any occasion -- the vibe is semi-casual, but it's very open and inviting. You definitely need to experience the outdoor patio setting and watch the films they display 📽️

Excellent upscale spot for vibes and good food. It's a fun concept — sitting outside with the hanging lights while enjoying a movie projected onto the back wall. Food-wise, some notable favorites were the grilled lavender-brined pork chop, the grilled Monterey Bay calamari (just wow) and the Santa Barbara smoked salmon. Do give this spot a try if you are in the area and want to splurge a bit.

Champagne Fresh Omelette was one of the best omelettes ever! Truffles, chanterelles, raclette, Comte, herbs Yukon potatoes crispy deliciousness, and green salad. The sourdough toast and jam were worth it as well as the homemade peach pop tart.
