B Restaurant And Bar

Last Friday we ventured to B Restaurant and Bar for Happy Hour and it was a fantastic find. B restaurant is a not-so-hidden gem atop Yerba Buena Gardens in SOMA. B Restaurant is a contemporary bar and restaurant offering delicious cocktails and food with killer views. The restaurant sits at the top of Yerba Buena Gardens overlooking the gardens and waterfalls as well as offering panoramic views of the city. The best part is B Restaurant has a spacious terrace opening off the main dining room with plenty of room to relax and take in the sunshine after work. more

First let me say, I didn't actually try the food or drink here which looked absolutely amazing and was the main reason why I walked in. While walking in Yerba Buena Gardens I got a bit parched and thought it would be a good idea to try out B Bar. It was a Saturday afternoon making it completely acceptable to have an adult beverage at noon. I sat at the bar with my two friends and waited.....and waited....and waited....and waited....for the bartender to come ask us what we want. The bar was about half way full, so it's just not possible that he didn't see us or didn't have time to come take our order! I don't know what was going on, but after 15 minutes of politely glaring at the waiter (you know, the international sign for ""get over here! I need something"") we walked out. I'm kinda sad about this because Yerba Buena Gardens is one of my favorite places in the city, so I'm there a lot! I'm guessing I'll try B Bar again, but not anytime soon! Pros: I don't know Cons: bad service more

Nice location but the service was sub par. Starting with the host, I was sat out away from the crowd because.. more

B BAR is the best place to retreat from the city just by walking a few blocks down the street. The venue is very chic yet service is warm and charming. The drinks are well concocted and you must try the Love On which guarantees you will say aaahhhhh when you see it. I usually go to meet friends for happy hour but its a great option for dinner and a movie since its next to the Metreon. Pros: Oasis form the city streets Cons: Difficult to find the first time more

Not a venue for large parties... and very poor management and customer relations headed by a very clueless GM Don Riley and private party coordinator - Kevin Best --- definitely does not live up to the expectations of his name.... Pros: Great location... away from city traffic but convenient, Cons: GM Don Riley and Kevin Best more

It was my boyriend's b-day and I wanted to surprise him and take him somewhere new....according to the only review it was the best experience ever and super romantic and plush. Walking in it was a very industrial looking place....nothing romantic about it....it felt like I walked into a coffee house. The waiter was very sweet when I (confused) asked if there was another dinning area....he said that , pointing to the 6 or 7 small tables was it. the tables were not even dressed!. To be fair we walked out and did not try the food, so my review is about the ambiance, not food or service. Pros: good for drinks with friends Cons: not a place for dates or any kind of romance more

Before heading to the movies at the Metreon, we wanted to grab a bite to eat, but didn't feel like going too far, and definitely didn't feel like the sports/yuppie/conference-attendee crowd at Jillians, se we ventured out back into Yerba Buena Gardens to B Restaurant. What a great find! It was a beautiful Sunday and we sat outside overlooking the park with the waterfall and church in the background. The service was great and the food was awesome. They have a great brunch menu and make a killer bloody mary. If you are like me and are constantly looking for somewhere where you can sit outside on a nice day (or night!), you should check this place out. Pros: Awesome patio, great atmosphere and location, great food Cons: a little bit pricy more

It has been quite some time since seeing something so impressive open in the city. The views, the service, the food & wine, and ultimately the EXPERIENCE that going out should be. This place is so comfortably beautiful inside and out that it caught our eye on a Sunday walk through Yerba Buena Gardens. We stopped for brunch on the terrace and with such a large outside dining area it was easy to get a table overlooking the waterfalls. This brunch was the best I have had and with a unique menu that I would go back for next Sunday. I had the eggs diablo sered in a skillet with just the right amount of spice and my companion had the steak and eggs which was actually perfectly cooked and thinly sliced filet. I have also met friends at the bar for happy hour and appetizers with the same excellent food and service. Everyone was so nice and hospitable and the prices are a really great value for the quality that you get. What a refreshing addition to this neighborhood. Pros: Everthing more
