Credo

Credo is a solid establishment in SF and nails 4-stars in every aspect. Everything - food, service, atmosphere, price - is above average and occasionally touches the 5th star but there is definitely something missing to hit that caliber. Unlike many SF restaurants, Credo has secured a large enough space where they definitely set their atmosphere to make a statement. Rustic yet modern interior design with big bold fonts on white definitely takes you away from the streets that wrap the joint. The restaurant feels airy and large windows enhances the mood. Food is solid too. The croquettes were crispy. The baked brie was well balanced and sweet. The fig jam was hearty. The bread was warm with delicious butter and salt. The presentation was also great. But none of the dishes were memorable. They all tasted good, but nothing registered in my mind as unique nor irreplaceable. Again, above average, down the middle, execution. Credo has a reasonable price for what they provide and for this, I do think the restaurant will be popular for the foreseeable future. And yes, I would return. But there's that part of me that wants more. I want to see Credo fully unleashing its potential. They need to take a bit more stance with their taste. Pick a path and commit to it.

Ok. Found this place because it was close to hotel. We walked in and IMMEDIATELY I wanted to hate this place. There are quotes on the wall that could be seen as derogatory and political. I found several right next to me that I did not agree on. I was now giving this place a one star. Buuuut Our waiter Angel was very fast and extremely friendly. He lied to me about jalapeños but I let that slide (inside joke). He was genuine and checked on us often. I ordered the spicy margarita and I am from Texas so did not expect much. I was amazed at how good this was. I had to order a second to make sure and the second was amazing also. My wife had the old fashion which neither of us cared for. We both ordered the burger and it came out extremely fast and was delicious. My wife added avocado and I added an egg. They were both delicious. They came with Parmesan fries and they were cooked perfect. Crunchy on outside soft on inside. So this was one place that went from 1 star to a 5 because they have great service, awesome food and an angel making margaritas. Gave three stars because of decor. This may be some people’s thing but I found some of them offensive. Either way you really should try this place.

We chose this place as the menu showed both salmon and pizza, and we knew all our kids would be satisfied. Turned out they only offer pizza for lunch, but the restaurant was kind enough to run down to the basement and pick up some dough to make some pizza for my son! My husband had the burger and I had the pasta, all of our food was delicious and so was the bread and wine. What really makes this place stand out is the wonderful service, the staff went above and beyound to make us feel welcome. Thank you for making our last meal on our two week vacation on the westcoast so memorable!

Great service. Very quiet on a Friday night. Excellent wine menu. Reasonably priced. We had the hummus which was fantastic. The Cobb Salad with chicken was large and the chicken was moist and flavorful. The salmon was good, a little dry for my taste but I asked for medium so that may have been their definition of medium. Great dessert selection as well! Overall a solid dinner choice in the city.

I was hungry so I walked in for dinner tonight. The hostess, waitress, and other staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was really good and the decor is interesting. My only issue was the butter spread that comes with the complimentary bread. It was incredibly salty, to the point it was inedible. So salty that it caused me to have a coughing fit. It’s as if someone accidentally added two or three times the amount of salt needed. Otherwise, I really enjoyed my dinner. The hummus and salmon dish were tasty and not too heavy.

Very nice ambience and lovely staff. Loud so keep in mind if this bothers you, might want to book if you have a limited time slot. We tried dinner, chardonnay and sauvignon Blanc from local vineyards, quite simple but nice. Warm olives are super, its large so share 2-3 ppl. The pasta in pizza bread was fun but would try something different next time.
