Abrazo

Cool Spanish joint in Russian Hill. A very tasty tapas spot with an even better drink menu. To start off, they had a beautiful meat and cheese board. The garlic shrimp probably the best item they have, was heavenly. The oysters were very fresh and of good quality. They had some delicious desserts as well. I always go with a flan if they have it. I do wish the octopus was a bit better, it let a lot left to be desired. The service was quick, friendly and knowledgeable. Abrazo is also a perfect spot for an intimate date, a family gathering or a special occasion.

Great tapas spot in Russian Hill/North Beach area. We had a large group for dinner and tried much of the menu. Everything was delicious with beautiful presentation. One of the faves was the bone marrow but every plate went back clean. We ate in the main dining area, which is airy and full of natural light, with a Euro feel to it. The service was quick and attentive. A bit pricey, but the food and the Californian Malbec in particular were great.

I should start by declaring that I was not the one who paid, and that does make a difference. They were short on vegetarian options, so they made me an off-menu vegetarian pasta, which, surprisingly, was the best meal-out that I had in San Francisco this week. Pro-tip: don't order ice-cream after eating the meal of your dreams; you should keep that taste on your tongue as long as possible.

Great tapas spot in Russian Hill/North Beach area! Everything we tried was delicious - the croquetas were super crispy, the salad was incredibly refreshing, and the potatoes were roasted to perfection and saucy! The mains were so well portioned and delicious as well - the pork chop was super tender and the chicken was so well seasoned. It’s a really wonderful spot for date night or having a group dinner with some friends!
