Presidio Social Club - American restaurant in San Francisco - 563 Ruger St, USA

The only thing that wasn't muddled at Presidio Social Club Saturday night was my Old Fashioned - and that, in fact, should have been. The ambience of this tucked away spot set the tone for a great meal but it wasn't to be. The meal started with two of the four people in our group ordering Old Fashioneds. There were no cherries, there had been no muddling of sugar and bitters, and it tasted like a mediocre glass of bourbon. When we politely asked to have the bar try them/remake them, we got new ones in two minutes (far faster than two new drinks could have been properly remade). They were still bad. One of us kept it and the other decided to stick to water. When our appetizer of ACME levain & Valley Ford HWY 1 “cheese toast" for $17 arrived, we had to ask for small plates. A minor oversight but consistent with the service - we were never offered a second drink, no manager ever touched our table to check in or ask us how our meal was as we left, etc. The bread came with olives as advertised but strangely four extremely spicy pickled birds eye chiles and two under pickled okra. The steak ($45) came as requested, as did the burger ($28) and scampi ($32). The swordfish ($38) came as two seemingly beaten cutlets rather than the traditional steak style and was tough and slightly fishy. The dessert was enough to send us running to a local bar to rinse our mouth out. The special - stated after we'd ordered other desserts - was bread pudding which two of us switched to. For $12 you got a dense, dry cake with a dry kind of brownie situation on top and it was all cold. Similarly the brownie came cold and dry instead of in its advertised sundae delight. For $318 after tax and tip we left disappointed and underwhelmed. Nothing about the service, drinks, or food felt special or worth the price for 4 people.

We stopped for Brunch before a show in SF..this would be the 3rd time here..never dissapoints, amazing Food , beautiful atmosphere, gentle and attentive service..will be back for a 4th👌⚘️🌿

Had the Flat Iron Steak. Food was great and flavors complimented each other. Live band was present today. Friends orders Brisket and Herb Chicken, and were throughly impressed as well. Would recommend as a nice outdoor spot in the Presidio! EDIT: Came again for the clam bake and lobster pasta. Super great. Dessert was also very tasty

Been coming here for years but when it comes to brunch it’s gotten a bit overpriced. Chintzy portions that take way too long and will leave you needing a second meal immediately after. The menu was completely lackluster with little to no options. On the positive side; there’s an extensive cocktail list and great service. The restaurant is a SF institution, just sad that it’s pretty far removed from being anything close to one of price to value during brunch anymore.

Bloody Mary’s were great and food was pretty good.

Excellent, tasty food with fresh ingredients. Service was awesome, friendly and quick. Great experience.

Great service, cozy and attractive atmosphere, and really good (but pretty rich) food. The pistachio and honey burrata and the squash and mushroom pasta stood out to me. They do have espresso but not decaf (they do have decaf coffee).

Having lunch at the Presidio Social Club was a bad experience. We ordered 4 main dishes and all tasted poorly. One was overcooked/dry. The other dish was extremely salty and the 3rd did not taste good. The service was poor. It's overly priced.
