Got the Family Style tasting menu, a bargain@ $96 "out the door" before drinks and tip . Quite the selection. My favorites were the pickles, the first menu was also good but I don't remember what it was called. Man, the duck- was perfectly cooked. The grits and peas was fantastic. The roasted po
A couple weeks back, AL's Place SF suddenly announced they were closing for good. Chef-owner Aaron London expressed to the San Francisco Chronicle that he wanted to focus more on family at this stage in his life. With one Michelin star and seven years of producing arguably one of the best examples o

It was my second time experiencing Californian food, and it was really great. All dishes were fresh, and provided a spectacular twist on expected tastes (of course in a good way). I especially love the fish, and I will highly recommend, if you are in, or visiting the area.
Truly a fantastic dining experience. The price point was about $100 per person with a couple drinks each. Service was attentive, personable, and friendly; there was clear knowledge of the menu from the staff.
Group highlights were the artichoke dip, baby octopus pear curry, burrata, French fries, an
Came here on a Sunday night and got the tasting menu - was seated when everyone was mostly there for our reservation.

So much variety in the food - all of the plates were really beautifully crafted, and I definitely was pleasantly surprised by all of the variety and options.

We came here to try the family style tasting menu and had a fantastic time. The servers were attentive and very friendly. I really liked the clever use of fruit - they lent a very unique quality to the dishes. I would never have guessed the Al pastor was made with peaches, or paired grapes with grit
A lovely dinner experience. The atmosphere is casual yet the experience is elegant. Service is prompt, discreet and friendly. Our dinner was a la carte and we were treated to a sensory feast brought on by the freshness of the ingredients, the creative pairings and the beautiful presentation. A perfe
Our dinner is a la carte. The food here is delicious and well presented. I can taste the freshness from the seasonal ingredients. The environment is a little bit noisy but it’s reasonable considering the affordable price.
Michelin star is well deserved. My wife and I did the tasting menu and we were brought out a series of dishes that gave my taste buds an experience that I couldn't have imagined. We sat at the bar and it was a lovely (but also intimidating) experience to watch how such a well oiled machine works. Th
So wonderful for a special occasion for anyone, including those with dietary restrictions. There aren't many fancy restaurants in San Francisco that are accommodating to vegans and vegetarians in the amazing way that Al's Place is! We came for an anniversary and were expecting to have to go through
Interesting, inventive menu with great flavors! Started with the pickled fries and ended with the blueberry and sesame dessert. Fast and attentive service, interesting model - we had 3-5 different people come to our table to take order, leave orders, and check on us. One negative is the staff wou
One of the most amazing meals I've ever had!
Not just because of the food, although the food is delicious, but each plate is prepared with such care & detail. You almost don't want to eat because the presentation is so beautiful.
The atmosphere there is lively & fun. You can tell everyone enjoys the
If you want to taste most interesting and fresh seasonal flavors you can find in SF, this is where you should eat dinner. Places like State Bird and Foreign Cinema get a lot of hype, but Al’s Place easily ranks above them as my favorite Michelin-quality meal in the city.
The rotating menu is always
One of the best meals we have ever had, and deserving of their star. Eclectic menu that features truly composed dishes full of flavor. Hard to explain how surprising and pleasing the dishes were. Perfectly paced, staff was attentive and friendly.
Highlights were the Chawanmushi, grits, and sunchoke
What can I say? This restaurant was amazing, definitely earned it's Michelin star. I came with two friends, and we all opted for the Family Style (tasting course) and were happy with everything that arrived. Service was great, staff were helpful with any questions, and food was outstanding!
