Epic Roasthouse \r
From the outside Epic looks like it would offer guest?s a memorable dinning experience\r
We recently had a group of clients come into town for dinner. What better way to show them some of the best food in San Francisco but to go to an upscale restaurant with a great view of the bay. \r
We had a party of 8 on a weekday, reservations were fairly easy as we were able to book them that day.\r
Pulling back the large doors we entered Epic. We were met by some friendly host?s that lead us to the back of the restaurant. As I was making my way to our table I started to wonder if I was still in Epic or a Big Boy restaurant in Florida. \r
\r
I had to delete a whole pargraph from this review as it was to long with to many bad issues\r
\r
For diner I ordered the Whole Fish along with Truffle Whipped Potatoes ($9), Epic Mac and Cheese ($9) Truffle Cauliflower (9) spinach(9) & Brussels sprouts.\r
While waiting for our dinner to arrive the waiter had began to pull our wine glasses with out even asking if we would like wine with a dinner. ( we all wanted wine with dinner)\r
Once my meal arrived the whole fish needed to be de-boned. I wish the waiter would have told me this earlier as I would have never order this dish because the entire time I was pulling bones from my meal. The brussel sprouts & cauliflower were hard as a rock the Mac & cheese was taste less how can you mess up Mac and Cheese and spinach as just low quality. \r
For desert I ordered the cookie plate with a cold glass of vanilla bean milk. Thinking a cookie plate would have fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookies not my Aunt Helens cookie assortment she bought at Sam?s club left over from 2 years ago.\r
This restaurant is *WAY* over priced for what they offer & the service was just plain bad. I have had better service at local fast food places. I eat out in San Francisco 5 nights a week and this place is just a poor waste of great real estate and our time.\r
I will not come back to this restaurant.\r
Pros: Nice view great walking distance to Hotels and offices for business dinners
Cons: Better meal at local fast food the food is just so poor i do not know how this can be with such a great looking building
