It came with candied walnuts and fried apples, which added a nice touch. I appreciated that they served extra syrup on the side; I usually prefer not to drown my French toast in syrup, but it's great for those who enjoy it. My friend had the Belgian waffle topped with dark chocolate, strawberries, and bananas. It was incredibly rich, feeling more like a dessert, but it was delicious as well. I would recommend both dishes!

My coworker's chicken sandwich was initially served cold, although they did remake it. The waitress was nice, but she was chewing gum while taking our order, which was a bit distracting.

This is a sweet, quiet upscale place to go with customers for a business dinner from a date for 2. Will definitely come back when I am in town.

I went on a Sunday evening, which wasn't the most ideal time due to the presence of homeless people in the nearby streets of San Francisco. However, I noticed a variety of couples and young families dining there as well. The atmosphere is laid-back and casual. Even though I was eating alone, I never felt bored or uncomfortable. Overall, it was a delightful experience.

I arrived at the W early enough to seek out a breakfast place. After some searching, I discovered that the entrance was located in the lobby of the hotel. read more I arrived at the W early enough to seek out a breakfast place.

We could have asked to be moved, but we didn't want to. The waiter was very enthusiastic, but failed to fill glasses of water without being asked. My husband's lasagna was a huge brick in the middle of an unadorned plate. A little salad or something green and crispy would have been nice. Not an à la carte fan, especially when it comes to the price of the main course alone. The room was very dark and a bit noisy. I would ask not to sit in this area another time.

Really good cocktails and coffee that tasted fresh and strong. They offer a discount to locals for breakfast, lunch and brunch. I'm sure we will be back

It was the perfect place for the last night of our vacation. We come back every year and don't eat dinner until the last evening of our trip at Tucci Benucch. It has become a family tradition. We love the breadsticks with delicious olive oil, the wine prices are reasonable and there are Italian wines on the list. The food is delicious and the portions are large. Our server was really great too!

The thick slices of bread were cooked to perfection, accompanied by delicious candied walnuts and fried apples. I appreciated that they provided some extra syrup on the side, which I didn't use since I prefer my French toast without being drenched in syrup. However, it's great for those who enjoy it that way. My friend ordered the Belgian waffle topped with dark chocolate, strawberries, and bananas. It was quite indulgent and felt more like a dessert, yet it was also delicious. I would highly recommend both dishes.

Room large and trace brunch is amazing, better than other hotel buffet breakfast. read more Room large and trace brunch is amazing, better than other hotel buffet breakfast.

I appreciated that they provided extra syrup on the side, even though I personally prefer not to drown my French toast in it. This is great for those who enjoy more syrup. My friend had the Belgian waffle with dark chocolate, strawberries, and bananas. It was very indulgent, almost like a dessert, but also delicious. I highly recommend both dishes.

The appetizers are really good (oysters and tomato soup were great), but the mains were only ok. Overall, it was good, but wouldn't go back
