Gibson, a hidden gem near Powell Street in San Francisco, offers a unique dining experience. Chef Johnathan's artistic vision and local talent shine through in dishes like the lambry braised in peanut butter. While the food is flavorful, some find it overly salty. Service can be hit or miss, with long waits and occasional lack of attentiveness. However, the ambiance is beautiful, with an Art Deco-style dining room and open kitchen. Overall, Gibson provides creative, delicious dishes and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that is worth a visit, especially for those looking for a unique dining experience in San Francisco.
Great drinks, food including the vanilla cake with Mondrian curd and the whiskey chocolate cake!
Great food and very close to the Golden Gate and Orpheum Theaters. Martinis were excellent but a little bit on the small side for the cost. A bit pricey but a check-in discount on Yelp made it a good value.
Both food and service were disappointing. We went for the SF restaurant week and had two $75 tasting menu. It was a bit overpriced as the set only had one entree, with two tiny sides, bread salad. The biggest issue was everything being toosalty, from the bread, the fish, the beef, to the dessert. I couldn't even finish the salted vanilla ice cream because therewas way too much sea salt.???? I actually liked how the dishes are designed and cooked. It's just the salty taste that ruinedeverything. The server was not attentive at all. No one cared to refill your water or bring you your next course. Even if theyfixed the taste of their food, I still wouldn't come back because of the poor service. Btw, it's located in a very dangerousneighborhood. You wouldn't want to walk on the streets.
My friend and I had dined at Gibson a few times prior to the pandemic and we were generally pleased with the food, service, and ambience. This review will address our first intra pandemic visit to this restaurant. Although I would have given Gibson 5stars, based on the tasting menu, the wait staff, the location close to several downtown theaters, and our pre pandemicexperiences here, I am deeply disturbed by the lack of response of Gibson 's management, a fact that completely overwhelmed mypositive views of this restaurant. I waited three months before writing this review, in the hope that someone from Gibson wouldget back to me. I 'm still waiting. When I made a reservation for two at Gibson during SF Restaurant Week in Autumn 2021, I hadto pay $20 per guest to hold the spot. No problem there. However, the reservation website indicated that this amount $40total would be applied as a credit to our bill. Not only was the $40 not credited that evening, but I tried to reach therestaurant 's management by phone 3 times in the subsequent two weeks and succeeded only in leaving voicemails, to which I neverreceived a response. While I fully understand that restaurants have been under enormous financial pressure during the pandemic,scamming customers with a refundable reservation charge that is never refunded and not returning your guests ' calls aboutcorrecting this scam are unacceptable behaviors unworthy of an otherwise fine downtown SF restaurant.
