Great service. Great food. Great ambiance. We were celebrating a birthday and each of us ordered something different, everything was great. Our server was fantastic- she went out of her way for our entire meal to ensure we had the best possible experience. Would recommend to anyone. View all feedback.
What Gilbert Hettinger dislikes about Rambler:
The ambiance and service were great. Unfortunately the food was only okay (I found my pizza bordering inedible), especially compared to the price. Drinks were better than the food, but you can find better food and drinks at a similar price point in a lot of restaurants in the area (and throughout sf). View all feedback.

The meat at this restaurant is absolutely unbeatable, perfectly cooked and paired with delicious toppings. The service is excellent but the prices are on the higher side. It's worth the cost, just be mindful of the recommendations – ordering everything on the menu can significantly increase the bill.
The food was excellent. We tried the short rib and it was delicious. However, the vegetables it came with were a bit bland. I would give it 4 stars, but considering the price of the dish, I expected more. The restaurant is very cool and cozy, and the service was excellent.
The food was tasty, but unfortunately the service fell short. We had two specific requests: to leave by 7pm, which was over an hour away, and to have our salmon cooked medium-well. Unfortunately, neither of these requests were accommodated. We ended up eating only the cooked parts of the salmon and had to ask for the check twice before finally leaving at 7:05. It's unlikely that we will return to this restaurant.
Service was not what you would expect for the price. Took a long time, waiter never came back to check on us, even the bill took forever to get there. Food was flat for flavor. It was just okay for the price. We definitely wouldn't go back with all the other options in the area. Music was good but a little too loud. The only table that could accommodate our party was next to the door. It was freezing every time someone came in or out. So windy it blew menus off the table and blew out our candles. After a few times of re-lighting they were just left not burning. And then when we get the bill, due to the size of our party the tip was pre-populated. Perhaps that's why the service was so bad... Would not recommend.
Strange experience. Went there for breakfast and the place smelled very bad despite everything looking clean and tidy. I got pancakes and a coffee the former were bland.
