Destino

This review in based on bar area only. This place has some of the best and unique cocktails I've had in a while. Though they are somewhat pricey, they are truly unique and have Spanish feel to them. We decided to go next door to this spot from the Japanese yakitori restaurant because my wife said they have very good drinks here. I'm glad I listened because I was very happy with the drinks I ordered. If you don't have any idea of what to order the bartender is very helpful and knowledgeable since he and fellow bartenders help craft the cocktails on the menu. Good atmosphere for simply hanging out with a friend or a date. It wasn't too busy on Friday night and it wasn't too loud.

Visited Destino for SF restaurant week and wasn’t disappointed! Bruce was our waiter and he was friendly, approachable and went above and beyond. There were plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options as well. The wine menu was ample and the pisco was delicious! Would definitely recommend even if you’re just going for a drink! Only thing that could be improved is the yucca fries, they had the string/veins cooked in them which made them hard to eat.

Such great food! The lomo saltado must be ordered along with the ceviche peruana. I can name more dishes but then I would be reciting the menu. I haven't even mentioned the desserts. Also a great vibe, it is connected to their sister bar, so after dinner just walk through the opening and you're in the bar. And that bar is where you get amazing cocktails. My favorite is the sideways sour. Also James (the owner and original chef) is usually there visiting tables to see that you are enjoying your meal. That is a great touch!

What a pleasant surprise! I had no idea this restaurant was here, since I admittedly don't explore new neighbourhoods as often as I would like, so I'm so happy I found this place on Yelp :) I'm a big fan of restaurants that specialize in tapas since it makes such a fun, social experience for both small groups and large. This time 'round, it was just one friend and I enjoying the meal here (was seated in the dining room immediately even without a reservation, and there's also a separate bar area if that's more your style). While enjoying some glasses of wine, we shared the ceviche sampler, plantain chips (which add the perfect crunch when combined with the ceviche), brussel sprouts, Panceta con Pallares, and ended with the bread pudding. All of it was sooo good! I just went here last night and I'm already looking forward to my next visit ;)

I've had trouble finding a good caipirinha in this town, but I'm pleased to say that this place delivers the goods. While we were there for drinks, we snacked on some plantain chips, and we were surprised at how good they were with the accompanying mint vinaigrette. We'll definitely be trying a meal here soon.
