The Rotunda

My hubby and I met up for a weekday lunch date. I've always loved this place with the view of Union Square and the lovely stained glass ceiling, not to mention the luxury designer brand clothing and accessories just steps away from the restaurant. We both ordered the lobster club sandwich and some champagne. Everything was delicious. Who knew lobster and bacon went together so well? The service was great also. It's a lovely spot you simply must try

An SF lunch institution. The pop-overs are not quite as great as they used to be, but the service is strong and the overall experience is unfailingly chic. Get the burger of one of the massive salads.

Recommend having a reservation as they tend to be busy. Vaccination is required here and they check it at check in. Staff is very polite and professional and checks on you often. Food came out in some time, I would not say fast. You are served water of your choice and chicken broth followed by "bread" before food comes out. Food tasted great and was served at the right temperature. Same goes for soup and coffee. They have a kids menu also.

I really love a good afternoon tea and the experience I had at The Rotunda absolutely exceeded my expectations. I was able to book a reservation for Afternoon Tea for one on OpenTable on the morning of. Traveling solo and dining alone can kind of be intimidating, but I was determined to not let that prevent me from trying new things. When I got to the Rotunda, the hostess wasn't super welcoming to me until I mentioned I had made a reservation. This tells me that they must get busy so I would highly recommend making a reservation. Once seated I was greeted by my wonderful server. He made me feel so welcome and comfortable dining by myself. I ordered the Afternoon Tea Service and upgraded to get a glass of champagne with it. Everything was delicious and I just enjoyed my time soaking it in in the beautiful ambience. Just such a nice way to spend a peaceful afternoon. The best part of my experience was my server. At one point he came over and offered to take a picture of me. As a non-photogenic solo traveler, I rarely get quality pictures of myself at the places I visit. I was so appreciative and he took the most amazing pictures of me. He really went above and beyond, and I regret not getting his name to add to this review. If I am back in San Francisco, I will definitely be visiting again. This is a must stop destination for me!
