Wayfare Tavern - American restaurant in San Francisco - 558 Sacramento St, USA

This is a nice 1900s upscale restaurant. Attended my brothers wedding reception there. The place was small and intimate. The reception was held upstairs on a different floor. Was nice set up , the food and service was great. The fried chicken , baked Mac and cheese, salmon was a must try. The cocktails are delicious. I enjoyed the reception over all. Dress to impress, you have to find parking around the restaurant pay at meters. Definitely need to come back and try over dishes here. Highly recommend it.

Great tavern atmosphere, inviting and cozy but upscale enough so that it feels special. We had lunch for 4 and had made reservations a few days ahead. The purple rain gin cocktail was one of the better cocktails I've had in awhile. The popovers were fresh, flaky, and light. We shared deviled eggs and crab. Again, the deviled eggs were some of the best I've had in a long time. Mains were the mussels, chicken sandwich, and salmon. All were very good, especially the broth that the mussles were served in, and the crispy skin on the salmon and the eggplant puree it came with. Will definitely head back for the food and great service.

We enjoyed a night on the town and the Wayfair Tavern lived up to our expectations. The burger, chicken, and pop overs were delicious but the honey squash soup, oysters, and cheesecake were stand outs. The cheesecake was high in the rankings for the best cheesecake ever. The service was especially fantastic.

12/21/23. Great restaurant in the Financial District. Food, wine and cocktails are top notch. The only minus for our party of 5 was that we had 6:30pm reservations and had to wait until almost 7pm to be seated. Good neighborhood too.

My group of 7 had an awesome time at Wayfare. The food was delicious, the oysters were fresh and wholesome, and their burger was awesome. No complaints for the food whatsoever. For some reason, we did get the reservation wrong with fewer seats so we were a bit crammed but even so, we had a fun time. The interior indeed comes across like a tavern, not medieval but somewhat like an English countryside pub. Regardless, they had a great selection of beer and fantastic food. Not sure what was going on though but our server was a bit weird. Perhaps she was having a bad day but on multiple occasions her voice / tone was borderline rude or even derogatory. I tried to give her the benefit of doubt the first couple times but towards the end of the night, we were a bit put off. We'll absolutely return to Wayfare. Hope I just don't run into that server again.

Upscale American restaurant with attentive service, great wine and beer selection, and delectable menu items. Tavern Burger and Fried Chicken are a must. Beef Wellington special was also nicely done. Only minor complaint - bread pudding desert was just ok, not great.

A welcoming, warm and cozy place with a great and delicious food and warily of drinks, albeit a little bit crowded during lunch time but it is worth it. A good place to visit and enjoy the burger or the fried chicken sandwiches with a drink or two. Don’t miss sitting at the bar when crowded. You won’t be disappointed.

We ordered the burger, mac and cheese, and the Pioneers Peat cocktail. The burger was delicious but the mac and cheese was almost inedible. It had a distinct taste to it, but was grossly under-seasoned and was very wet (not cheesy). The Pioneers Peat was overly sweet. The servers and wait staff made up for what the food was lacking, as well as the warm appeal of the dining room. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained.
