This is a great restaurant in the Glenn Park area of San Francisco. I use to live pretty close to here and would come here often for dinner. Then a few months ago, we cam back to the old neighborhood and Chenery Park did not disappoint. It still had its charming atmosphere, great staff, and fabulous food. We will be back soon..

I was so excited to check out this restaurant, since I live in the neighborhood. So I made reservations for four of us (two young couples). Our evening was almost ruined by the rude service that we received. Restaurants need to realize that although we may be young, but we enjoy nice dinners and expect friendly service, just the same. The waiter failed to say hello (or provide any sort of greeting to us). He simply walked up to our table and just stared at us with this look like "what do you want?" He didn't bring us water or bread, and we waited at least 20 minutes before he even came to take our order. We had to ask the host for both, which he was very nice and brought some for us. I was starving by the time our entrees came. Despite my terrific hunger, the lamb that I ordered wasn't anything memorable. It was sort of tough, and didn't have a great flavor. The salmon was ok. The mashed potatoes were the best thing on the table. Oh, and did I mention that I almost fell over when one of the waitresses slammed into me as I passed her as I was coming from the restroom and she was heading back to the kitchen? It would have been nice if she had scooted over so we could both pass, rather than trying to beat me to the door. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be going back to this place anytime soon. There are too many other restaurants in the city with great food, prices, AND service. Sorry Chenery Park, looks like West Portal is going to get more of my business. Pros: Cute upstairs seating Cons: The staff would probably throw you off the balcony if you were in the way.

Great slightly upscale neighborhood restaurant. And on Friday night's there is free Jazz at Bird & Beckett Bookstore right up the street.

We had dinner on Friday night. We waited for half an hour even we had a reservation. After we were seated, we had to wait another hour for food to be served. No complain about food but the wait wasn't fun. I would like to go back on weekdays, not on weekends. Pros: food Cons: service (waiter and hostess)

My friend and I ate at Chenery Park last Sunday and I can not wait to go back! Every person that we interacted with (the host, bartender, waiter, and busboy) was warm, friendly and treated us as if we were the only people in the place. And the food was wonderful!! The pork chop was the best I have ever had. Next time I'm in SF, you will find me here! Pros: food, service, value, cocktails Cons: I live a thousand miles away from this place

We were all very excited to dine here as the reviews were good, and really, who doesn't like southern cuisine? Yet, the food was far from "excellent"... dry pork chops, flavorless black eyed peas... over cooked lamb. Too bad, because the menu really sounded like a dining experience. I will admit the pricing was very fair, lower than typical market value, but still. We had to wait 20 minutes for our table, for which we had a reservation. The bar tender pushed flavored spirits for every drink... including a gin and tonic, and come on... really? All in all, I am very disappointed that this restaurant isn't living up to it's reputation... Pros: good prices Cons: food wasn't great

I felt that I should write a review because I eat here so frequently. I've never had a bad meal or time at this place. The lamb sirloin is simply amazing. This is also the first place I found that carried Hangar One Vodka - locally made and in my opinion the best Vodka on the market. Aside from amazing food and great spirits the ambience and staff our outstanding as well. Go here and eat and drink! Pros: Everything Cons: Nothing

When we walked in, we were seated by a very overbearing woman. I was not impressed with the atmosphere or decor at all. The menu seemed very typical--meat, carbs, and a vegetable. I ordered lamb, which I never order because it is so often gamey, & I was impressed with the flavors of my dish. I tried some of my friend's pork chop and found that it was a nice, thick cut that was not dry. I thought the flavors migled perfectly. They did not over-season the dishes. I loved the simplicity of the ingredients. Cons: the service was a bit slow. Our food took about half an hour. Dessert was just so-so. Chocolate cake with ice cream or something similarly unmemorable. And I was bummed that for such an expensive place the coffee was so bad. I would go back here, but I won't be a regular. Pros: food Cons: coffee, atmosphere, prices

Food at Chenery Park is great, service is severely lacking. After being seated, we waited for approx. 20 min for wine after we had ordered....repeated requests for bread/butter were ignored...when we asked to order, waiter left our table and said he had to attend to another table first.....waiter would disappear in between courses for loooooooong periods of time....actually had to go downstairs to order dessert....also had to go downstairs to run the bill....and to get it to sign out. Great food, but a lot of work is needed in the service area. Would hate to see this place when it is slammed if this is how service is on a quiet night. Cons: SERVICE, SERVICE, SERVICE
