Sotto Mare

I have lived in San Francisco for nearly a decade and have tried all the ‘greatest hits’ with the exception being Rich Table. After putting it off for a very long time for my birthday my girlfriend decided to surprise me with reservations here. ….. wow. This place is truly mind blowing in every sense of the phrase. We started off with the friendliest hostess of all time (I’m sorry I forgot your name but you are absolutely amazing), got seated in an amazing seat (theres not a bad seat in the house) And proceeded to have 2 hours of one of the best dining experiences the city has to offer. Their menu constantly changes so I won’t pin point exactly what dishes were so amazing because there’s a chance you won’t even be able to try them lol, but just go… they were all outstanding. I’ll post photos, but tonight the highlight was the Cavier, Rigatoni, Steak, and we even had the Chili which sounded random but they made incredibly delicious. The cocktails are a no-miss too. I had several with my favorite being a rye cocktail with a Cabernet reduction egg white (???) yeah… sounds wild and it was, just go and trust the process. Special shout out to our server Nicole who was especially amazing with guiding us through the menu and explaining every dish, we didn’t even ask for an explanation or the full 9 but hearing the backstory, history, and love they put into their food made this experience so incredible. This was the best place I’ve ever had dinner for my birthday. At the end they even gave us a signed menu from that night, defiantly a keepsake I’ll hold onto for such a memorable time. Rich Table, RT Rotisserie, you easily have the best operation in the city. Thank you so much again and I’m already dreaming to be back.

What an amazing dining experience we had here. Food and drinks were all above and beyond our expectations. We tried the “milk wash” cocktail and non-alcoholic drinks, and they are incredibly flavorful yet well-balanced and refreshing. Server had good knowledge with the menu, so you can always ask for and trust his recommendations. Each dish’s portion may not be big, but this allows you to order and try more dishes.

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Rich Table is the kind of place that reminds you why restaurants matter—not just for the food, but for the people, the energy, the creativity. It’s a chef’s restaurant in the best possible way. Thoughtful, inspired dishes that hit that rare balance of technical precision and pure, soulful cooking. The tasting menu was a journey—each course bringing something unexpected but never trying too hard. Just smart, deeply satisfying food. And the beverage pairings? Perfect. Not an afterthought, but an integral part of the experience. Beyond the food, the team here makes you feel like they actually care—not just about what they’re serving, but about you. There’s no pretense, no ego—just a group of passionate, down-to-earth people who love what they do. That energy is contagious. A restaurant that’s built on craft, intention, and genuine hospitality. Thank you to the team. We will be back!
