We were just walking by from out of town and happened into Blackwood for Brunch and it did not dissapoint!
Service was above and beyond.... drinks never went under half way.
All 4 of our food dishes were amazing and no one in our party was dissapointed.
The vibes were good and decor beautiful inside.
I don't always give 5+ stars and this place is a 10!
We will be back next time we are in town for sure!

Chixwaff might be #1. It looked like bone in but was not. Had a lil spice to it as well as the syrup. Waffle has like a crispy sweet edge to it. Plus had fruit just to not make it ridiculously unhealthy.

10/10

Black Wood is listed on Uber Eats, showing their opening time as 10:00 AM, consistent with their online business hours. I called at 10 AM to ask why I couldn’t place an order, and they informed me they actually open at 10:30 AM. Even after waiting, I still couldn’t order, so I called again. They then activated their Uber Eats service, allowing me to place my order. However, after a short while, I saw that my order was canceled, and the store had disabled ordering. When I called back for an explanation, they simply told me their battery died and suggested ordering through DoorDash instead. I ended up waiting an hour just to place an order, only to now have to wait another hour for food from a different location.

Great food and huge servings!

Service was fast too

Enjoyed a delicious Thai fusion brunch here! Servers were nice and very accommodating of our dog sitting on the patio. Every dish we ordered was flavorful and very generous portions- we will be back 😊

DoorDash order long time waiting

Diner Review №13

Family LOVES this place, but it was the Millionaire's bacon that brought me there. We were told they dropped it. Will no longer make the drive.

Diner Review №14

The food was incredible! Everything we ate was amazing

Diner Review №15

Good food, their drunken noodles were very good, I wish I didn't get it with tomatoes though.

Diner Review №16

My friends and I went here for the first time today for New Year's brunch. It was quite busy, but we got seated around the time of our reservation. The server wasn't particularly attentive and had to be flagged down to take our order, but that was fine and the food started coming out at reasonable time. Unfortunately, however, only half of our table got food. After about 10 minutes without an update about the rest of our food, we flagged down our server to follow up. We were never provided an update, but food came out after another 10 minutes. By this time (20 minutes later), half of our table had already finished eating.

The food that came out late included the moco benedict and the lemon ricotta pancakes. We were disappointed, however, as the pancakes were dense and mushy, as if they were not cooked long enough. On the other hand, for the benedict, the poached eggs were overcooked and basically hard boiled, not runny at all. At this point, I was not willing to ask anything to be remade as I feared it would take another 20 minutes. When my friend went to pay (again, our server did not follow up with us), she mentioned that the eggs were not runny and the server offered to remake the eggs. I felt quite exasperated and really didn't understand why they would offer to remake just the eggs, as we were paying and getting ready to leave. And after the lackluster service, we were charged the default 20% gratuity for a party of 5.

While I get New Year's day can be busy, the service (or lack thereof) and quality of food today made this a place I would never recommend.

Diner Review №17

If you reside in the Marina area, this establishment may appeal to you; however, I found it lacking in several areas. The food was quite bland and priced significantly higher than what I would consider reasonable. For those who prioritize quality cuisine and excellent service, I would recommend exploring other dining options.

Diner Review №18

A very reliable place that offers something for everyone. New ownership is not allowed to serve Millionaires Bacon but they have maintained the quality of the food and service.

Diner Review №19

Party of about 10. Service was friendly and timely. Food was very good. Ordered fried chicken which was delicious

Diner Review №21

Yum! The smoked cashew Thai entree was yumscious. The menu has a wide variety of options, perfect for families or groups who have varying tastes. Update - Went back yesterday for dinner and it was so tasty. Update June 23, I just had my 6th meal and it was just wonderful. Smoky Cashew again. Cooper gives Blackwood 5 Wags. Great place to hang out after a run on the beach.
December 25, 2024 Crab Benedict. Blackwood continues to be a great restaurant.

Nice place for brunch. The BW scramble was really savory and seating outside was nice to unwind.

Diner Review №24

Outstanding Food and Service! I had the pleasure of dining at Blackwood SF recently, and it was an incredible experience. The food was absolutely delicious—flavors were on point, and every dish was beautifully presented. To top it off, Lily provided exceptional service, making sure our table was well taken care of with warmth and professionalism. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food and impeccable service. I’ll definitely be back!

Recomiendo las mimosas 😁

Diner Review №29

Food was delicious, definitely try their signature stone pot. we really love the flower ambiance.

Diner Review №30

The food here caters to the majority clientele that frequent the Marina. Branded as a Thai/American fusion brunch spot, the majority of the menu is standard American cuisine, such as burgers and omelettes with a few classic Thai dishes like pad Thai, pad see ew, and fried rice added to the lineup. I found the food quite lacking in flavor other than salt, and there were what appeared to be cooked frozen vegetables, not fresh, in my entree, which, after tax and tip, cost $30. Nothing so simple and baisc should cost that much, especially when the ingredients aren’t high quality. Never mind the long wait time for a table. This place leaves much to be desired, and I won’t be getting brunch again in the Marina anytime soon.

Diner Review №31

I read the reviews and it looked promising. They were also a restaurant in the Bonvoy program and I did order pad thai for take out a week before. I made a reservation for 2 at 6:30 pm the same day, Friday. We started with tuna tartare, I had been wanting to try their 1 percenter cheeseburger with millionaires bacon so I ordered that for myself and my niece ordered Pad See Yu. The server started out nice and even repeated our orders and how we liked it done. I asked for Medium temp & for millionaire bacon to be on the crispy side which I make myself. The tuna tartare was good and my niece liked her dish but the cheeseburger arrived medium well to well done. I pointed out to the server when I was able to get her attention. She did offer to re-do it but the restaurant was full on a Friday night and I was sure it was still going to be delicious however overcooked it was. I have had many burgers well done before so I kept the meal. Lo and behold, it was mushy, with absolutely no flavor or taste at all. The bacon was also mushy that after 1 bite, I pushed the entire plate aside. They were more busy by the time my niece was ready to order dessert which at same time we were able to let them know I was not going to take it home. Even to place the dessert order took longer that I asked for the check anticipating the delay. I saw they charged me for the burger and when I asked to remove it. Another older lady with glasses who may be an owner loudly scolded me for not saying anything in the beginning in front of my niece and the table next to us noticed it as well. I corrected her that I did tell the server and then the server were too busy to look our direction. No questions on what happened on our side and no apologies. Evidently she also did not ask the server as I watched her scold the server too. Then the server angrily dropped the new check on our table. I don’t know why I left a tip, I used to be a server I guess so I was a bit emphatic to the server. Will never eat there again, it was an absolutely humiliating & horrifying experience. What a start to the weekend!

Diner Review №33

Super cheesy instagrammable spot. We came for dinner and i got the pad ke mao which they ran out of flat noodle and gave me beef instead of tofu. It had way too strong of an oyster sauce flavor i honestly didnt eat much. We also got the fried chicken from the chefs special which was fried too much to even cut with my knife. The flavor here was okay. We also ordered the papaya tofu salad which was the best of the three but was over dressed and sitting in liquid.

Then when it came time for bill they charged us for the beef even though it was their mistake and no other patrons were at the restaurant with us. They also added 20% gratuity and didnt mention it.

I do not recommend.

Diner Review №34

Excellent flavor profile, highly recommend.

Diner Review №36

Cool little place on Chestnut. Feels like the only place that offers a bit of variety in the area. Food was good but nothing extraordinary. Service was good but a bit chaotic at times.

Diner Review №37

I love that they have outdoor seating not on the sidewalk. Cozy fireplace for ambiance.

Diner Review №42

I would have given them 5 stars, but the restaurant was cold. They had the door open. I like their noodles though.

Diner Review №43

This is a very beautiful and unique restaurant!
I had to try the pineapple fried rice which is served in the pineapple. It was very, very good. I also loved the colorful cocktail.

My friend liked her food too but said it was a bit salty. So, maybe not consistent quality throughout the menu.

Additionally, it is QUITE pricey (I paid over $50 w/ tip for the rice and cocktail)

Diner Review №44

Best food in SF! I highly recommend their beef noodle soup and stone pot. Also, their drinks are delicious. Thai-American fusion cuisines are the best!

Diner Review №45

My second time and blackwood and it's still amazing! The service was quick, the drink (the scarlet letter) was amazing. Food quality was next level. We went around 1030a for Saturday brunch right before it got busy and were seated right away. Would recommend!

Diner Review №46

I really pretty restaurant, decorated with lots of flowers. Definitely higher end of the restaurants in San Francisco. And they serve bottomless mimosas, and my favorite ginger beer in a nice big glass. I got the crab eggs Benedict, the crab was pretty dry and shredded too finally to taste it well. But the whole dish was really great together, they have a really good sauce. I'd recommend the eggs Benedict, but save the money without the crab

Diner Review №48

We have been a fan of Kitchen Story for quite a while now and were curious to check out its sister restaurant Blackwood. In all manners, it was similarly pleasing.

The Blackwood decor was modern and chic, complementing the inventive twists on some classic dishes.

We started with the curry samosas with cucumber and avocado salad and the flavors balanced each other so well; the light spice of the curry and crisp shells against the sweet and tangy cucumber and avocado. I chose the popular stone pot for my entree and it was an amazing blend of flavors as well, my only complaint being the cast iron skillet was so damn hot that I has to wait forever for my food to cool down enough to eat! My wife's Pad Thai was good if not memorable, a touch on the too sweet side for such a dish. Overall, everything was very good.

Service was prompt and courteous, and on par with a Kitchen Story, we were happy to see that they strived to make you feel welcome and attended to.

Really nice ambience. The food was so-so. The beverages were amazing!

I tried the spring rolls, yellow curry and pad see you. They were okay; nothing to write home about.
I’d the spiced almond lavender - it was yummy! 😋😋

The staff are really patient and nice! Parking may get tricky!!

Diner Review №50

Polite, nice service and good food

Diner Review №52

Their millionaire’s bacon is really good—definitely order this if you come here. Thai shakshuka was quite salty. Would not reorder this.

Diner Review №53

Brunch was excellent and a great escape from the East Bay temp. Highly recommend the Oscar Benedict.

Diner Review №54

Food and service are top notch. Restaurant is warm and comfortable.

Diner Review №55

Flavorful yellow curry and delicious Pad See You.

Diner Review №56

Amazing quality of food and very fast service, crispy shrimp was one of the best, drunken noodles Thai spice was a little too spicy for my palate but was too good to not eat! I wish the Panang Curry was a little thicker, but the taste was great. Would definitely come back.

Diner Review №57

Diner Review №58

The bacon is as good as advertised

Diner Review №59

Really great food and service - tried the French toast, shakshuka, pancakes and chicken and waffles - all very tasty and the service was really great. The staff is very nice and I would highly recommend coming! French toast and chicken and waffles were probably my fave

Diner Review №60

Great spot for bottomless mimosas!

Diner Review №61

For some reason had giant chunks of tofu in my chicken pad Thai. Thankfully there was still chicken in there as well, but the tofu chunks were SO big that I ended up only having half a dish left when I took them out. Otherwise the food was ok

Diner Review №62

They have some delicious smoked salmon, eggs benedict, and chicken & waffles

Diner Review №63

Hot pot was interesting. It looked like a Korean hot-stone bibimbop. Overall was good, portion is very big for a person.

Diner Review №64

Diner Review №65

This is the second time I've eaten here. Big portions. The first time I ate here was really good
but the breakfast/brunch menu didn't really meet the expectations. Friends said the sandwich lacked a bit of flavor.

Diner Review №66

The bacon here is so so good! I loved eating here. The food was good and fresh. The service was okay, but they are busy so I can’t blame them. Lee up the good work!!

Diner Review №67

Diner Review №68

A fusion restaurant with fun dishes and flavors. We were a group of three and ended up splitting the chicken and waffles, hot pot, and Gatai (Thai breakfast with minced chicken and egg). Everything is really tasty with a slight Thai twist to it. Our favorite was the chicken and waffles as their waffles tasted more like Belgian waffles.

They have a bottomless brunch mimosa which can be great if you want to get the party started early. But it also means it can get a bit loud. Their non-alcoholic drinks also looked good. I had the Thai iced tea which was a bit on the sweeter side but just the jolt I needed.

I’d come back if I was in the area, esp for the waffles.

Diner Review №71

Been meaning to try this for a while- the lunch/savory options looked so good but only tried the chicken and waffles. Was very excited about them, but I give it a 3/5. Waffle not as crispy as I would have liked, and wasn't too big a fan of the fried chicken. The batter was too close to the batter that fish and chips would have. Pricey too overall. Excellent presentation though!
Did have a bite of the deep fried french toast, found it too greasy/oily.

Diner Review №72

Good spot for asian fusion type food.Decent service.

We ate dinner at Blackwood in spite of a less than ideal brunch experience a few years ago. The service was attentive and absolutely wonderful (as it was during brunch). The restaurant is clean, upscale and comfortable. The food we ate for dinner was delicious. We shared a bottle of good quality Chardonnay wine with our meal. The appetizers (fried calamari, lady in the blanket and Mieng kum kung) were prepared perfectly and were delicious. For our main dishes we shared the dinner stone pot and marina treasure. I highly recommend the dinner stone pot. It comes to the table sizzling, seafood cooked to perfection. We said we like spicy, for our taste, it could have been even spicier. But we enjoyed it very much. The marina treasure was bacon wrapped scallops. The presentation was beautiful and the scallops were mild and cooked perfectly. The millionaire’s bacon was thick and smoky. I’m not a fan of smoked food so can’t speak to the taste of the dish, but my husband enjoyed the combination very much. We were too full for dessert but we saw other diners enjoying lovely desserts. I highly recommend this restaurant for a good quality meal in a clean and comfortable environment.

Diner Review №78

Avoid - cloyingly sweet food, unpalatable. Hostile servers. Extremely loud. Can’t understand the positive reviews or the hype, the negative ones are spot on with our experience. Won’t visit again & wont recommend to anyone.

Diner Review №79

Service was impeccable, our water glasses were constantly being refillled and everyone was very friendly. For apps, we had the samosas, the marina strips, and the marina corn. The samosas had a light fluffy pastry but could have had a little more spice. The marina strips were very yummy, and the marina corn was a fun play on an elote and good for what it was. I had the 24-hour beef noodle soup. It was delicious, perfect for a winter day. I would call it a cross between a ramen and a pho. The short rib was fall off the bone tender. My SO had the dinner stone pot, which they mixed up for him. He thought it was one of the best he had ever eaten. Our friends shared the yellow curry, which was also really tasty. We had the snowball for dessert, and our friends had the coconut ice cream with mango. Both were good, but I wish I had changed the snowball from vanilla to the coconut ice cream that would have put it over the top for me. It was some good coconut ice cream. My SO and I both took home leftovers so we could squeeze dessert in, and they tasted just as good the next day. Sorry, no pics, we were hungry.

Nice restaurant for a weekend brunch. Nice neighborhood to walk around after.
I like the Asian fusion type of dishes like the pimped up ramyun.

Diner Review №84

Have had multiple trips here and got a consistently good experience every time.
Weekends can get crazy given their popularity.

My favs are panang curry (soo decadent) and their brunch Benedicts.

Diner Review №85

Nice ambiance. Good thai food. Had green curry and pad kee mow. Very good food presentation. Pad kee mow was well cooked and didn't taste too oil or too dry. Also got a side of russet wedges. Nice crispy wedges.

Diner Review №86

Fantastic food and wonderful dining experience. Ordered family style for our family. Appetizers were on point. Loved the Ahi Tuna (chef's kiss). They have plenty of selections. I suggest getting the beef noodle soup because the beef was so soft and falling off the bone. It was perfect for the cold weather in San Francisco. They also have braised beef for appetizers it was scrumptious! Their curry is okay it's too sweet for my liking. Very busy during the weekend but they have very friendly and attentive staff. Will definitely be back again.

Diner Review №87

This was the first place my wife and I ate at in San Francisco. She had done a lot of research on places for brunch and this was one that was recommended. As soon as we walked in there was an aroma of old, stale urine. We are both very accustomed to this since we both are in the medical field. Secondly the food was not good at all. Presentation was great, flavor was not. The only positive thing we have to comment on is the service was good. Given how many places there are to eat in SF I would highly recommend eating somewhere else.

Great Asian salad but pricey. Convenient location for dinner before a concert at the Palace of Fine Arts.

Diner Review №91

The Thai food is amazing.

Diner Review №92

This is advertised as American Thai fusion but really just bad Thai food with no flavor. The chicken curry dish was just fried dried burnt small pieces of chicken tossed in Thai spices with no flavor. Vegetarian curry and pad Thai were barely edible. Service was good.

Diner Review №93

Absolutely phenomenal. We chose Blackwood due to its high ratings and being on the same block as our hotel. It far surpassed our expectations. The corn cob ribs were out of this world delicious, perfectly cooked and so flavorful. Our Thai dinner dishes were so delicious, we barely spoke while eating. It was 10/10 experience and we look forward to being back in SF so we can visit again.

I’ve lived in the city for 6 years and finally made it this place. The wait is what kept me away but what spot in the city doesn’t have a wait…

Food was actually pretty good and done well. Pricing is reasonable and the menu has something for all palates with a few Asian style dishes. I wouldn’t say you get white gurl wasted here but it can be a start.

Diner Review №106

Diner Review №107

The waiter (a tall guy) should be looking for a different job. Definitely rude. Making facial expressions during our order, answering annoyed at our questions and give us the check without asking for it.
Rolling his eyes all the time and the funny thing is that it was just the 2 of us having dinner, the place just opened and was empty. The food is ok but nothing special.
I recommend this guy to work in an office so he doesn’t have to deal with real people.
Never again

The best American Thai food you can get. Some friends and I went there for breakfast/brunch and I tried every dish that was ordered. The combination of breakfast with Thai ingredients and spices was phenomenal. I would highly recommend coming to this place.

Drove up from LA to SF for the weekend & had heard about this place from a few locals & decided to give it a shot. Boy were we impressed, the food was absolutely delicious & the service was great. I enjoyed their house beer & the rib, my wife got the chicken with a margarita. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Diner Review №126

I’m not really into Asian Fusion food, but I have to say, lunch here may’ve made me change my mind. I’ve eaten here for breakfast/brunch, but today, I had a late lunch and realized it’s Thai Fusion. Wasn’t jazzed but at the same time, whatever the table next to me had, I was like WHOA. I ended up pointing to the table across from me and ordering ‘whatever that table is having’. Turns out it was the Hot Stonepot and the Pimped Up Ramyun. FYI, I am not sure if the entrees are made for a single portion, but we ordered two entrees for four. There is just no one a super hungry person can finish one plate. I would order less and add on if necessary.

The waitress and staff are very friendly and as speedy as the food came out after ordering, I opted to wait a little to order bc my group was late.

Overall, great tasting food, good service, good quality for the money. I would def go back.

Oh, I didn’t take advantage of this, but they have bottomless mimosas for $26. It’s limited to one hour but if you can get three glasses in (big pours and not over juiced), it’s worth it.

Parking can be challenging but I know the area so I parked at 1598 Bay Street around the condos (no parking meters) and just walked over (10 min)

Blackwood is an excellent Thai-Western fusion place with great drinks. I'd recommend samosas with your meal, they're just delicious. The Thai Shakshuka is great too (according to a party member). 9.7/10 just great👌

Diner Review №140

Such a treat to dine at this wonderful restaurant!! The food was fresh, delicious, artfully presented and the servings were abundant. Our group had the Blackwood Pork and Halibut and the Marina Treasure, which was on a Split pineapple and almost too beautiful to eat. I also had the Mermaid cocktail, which was a piece of art and tasted amazing too. Quite telling was the many folks who appeared to be from the neighborhood who were enjoying this terrific restaurant too! We will definitely return when we are in SF again...

Diner Review №141

This was a rec from our friend who lives in SF. My MIL had the red curry which was fantastic. I had the pad thai and it was pretty good. My husband had the burger and it was great other than being super soggy. The fries were some of the best I've had. If I were to return I would get the curry!!!

Diner Review №142

The food is so wonderful here and the service is great too. I highly recommend eating here when you can.

Diner Review №146

First time here. It had a nice relaxing atmosphere, and the staff was very friendly. I wasn't sure what kind of food we were getting when we walked in; but the decor drew me in. I really liked the menu, which was Thai American fusion. We ordered several dishes to share, which everyone enjoyed. Others in the party had the melon mule and the little mermaid which they really liked.

I will try the drinks next time I'm there.

Diner Review №147

Loved everything
Service was on point!!
We went for brunch around 11:45
We got the samosas as an appetizer, the ‘crusty’ french toast complete meal, and the stone pot or plate, which is good for 3 or 4 ppl to share. It was hot and still cooking as it came out
We got2 of the cocktails the mojito and the ‘ mermaid’it complemented our food well
Definitely recommend for a girls day out or celebrating something
Will definitely return to try the burgers

Diner Review №148

Hear me out get the bacon. That's all that needs to be said.

Everything else is pretty good brunch food but that bacon is something else.

Diner Review №149

Diner Review №150

Food wasn’t all that great. The bacon is so soggy I felt like I was eating it raw. Food menu is almost too overwhelming for brunch. I wish they focused on a few great tasting options rather than having 100 different options. Service was extremely slow. We ordered drinks about 30 mins before food and the food came out first. Very annoying and we felt rushed to get out.

Diner Review №151

Had the pork belly over curry rice and it was very good.

Had dinner with my dad and he ordered the Ahi salad which I had some of as well, also good.

edit:

Gotta knock it down to 4 stars after having the driest chicken in a curry known to man. Sauce was good, veggies were good, but the chicken... Tasted like it was cooked with neutral seasoning (i.e. not in the curry sauce) and cut/pulled a day before it was served, which is fine for a salad or a sandwich but not so much a curry.

The ahi sushi roll appetizer thing that came in the spoons was absolutely delicious however.

Diner Review №152

Tasty Thai food. The curry was yummy but it was a little too watery. Nice people and service.

Diner Review №153

Diner Review №154

My friends brought me here for brunch. It was busy, but we were able to get a table around 11 am. An interesting concept of a restaurant - Thai fusion with brunch, but I loved it. I ordered the crispy french toast with the side of two sunny side eggs and millionaire bacon. Everything came out amazing. The French toast was a perfect crunch, fluffy bread and the fruit and syrup brought in the sweetness. Add a piece of bacon or egg, boom you got your sweet and savory combo. It was a lot to eat, but I did it. The coffee was okay, but still did the trick. The service was wonderful. Very attentive, checking in on us and getting everything we needed in an efficient manner. Definitely will be back on a future trip.

Diner Review №155

Ordered Thai Shashuka and Angus beef noodle soup for brunch. The Thai shashuka taste nothing like Thai food and it’s so blend. The noodle came out over cooked and our bacon millionaire which was supposed to be a starter came out the same time as our mains. It might be that they are understaffed but their service is bad and inconsistent. Forks and knives are dirty but the beer is alright…. I have no idea how this place is so highly rated. I would definitely not recommend this place.

Blackwood is American-Thai fusion on Chestnut st. You can choose to sit inside or outside.

The decor is clean and spacious. The menu includes good ol’ Thai to kids menu burgers. That’s a good idea because, the green curry I ordered, while very tasty, but packs a punch.

The service was prompt and polite. Very clean restrooms. You can find parking on side streets, and the streets are lively.

Food was stale, seemed like the shrimp was stale and they fried a day old meat. Servers seemed unapologetic about quality of food.

There was a few minutes wait to be seated. The waiter was observant and attentive once seated.
I love the variety of dishes to choose from on the menu, incorporating Asian fusion.
I would come back again.

Diner Review №170

I did not expect any since this type of food is fusion oriented. Better not compare the taste of their food to other authentic thai dishes It is always up to each person’s flavor and choice.

The food was delicious! The staff were super! The mermaid cocktail was amazing - would recommend getting the jar and splitting drinks among a group. Loved dining in for dinner. The ambiance was great!

Diner Review №172

The Pimped Ramyen is a must try for those that love spicy noodles with a twist. The crab omelette was the freshest I’ve tasted and their orange juice is fresh squeezed yay!!

Yum! Love this place for brunch. But today trying the appetizers. YUM!

Diner Review №180

The food is unique being a fusion of Thai and America breakfast. Food portions are decent. I'd recommend this place if looking for something different to try!

I'm not too big on trying different types of foods. This place wasn't too exotic and was worth a try.

Average. Blackwood has been here for years, someone must love it!

Diner Review №184

This place combined my two favorite things - Thai food and bottomless mimosas! I normally struggle to find a good brunch spot as a vegetarian who doesn’t eat eggs, so this place was the perfect fit for me.

I got the smoked cashew nut tofu and the vegetarian hot stone spot and both were DELICIOUS. The smoked cashew nut was my favorite - I loved the presentation, intense flavors, and large portions.

The $26 bottomless per person was a STEAL and although there wasn’t a pitcher kept at the table, the service was so fast that I couldn’t even finish my drink before they came to top it off. The service here was extremely efficient, kind, and made the brunch experience standout. I enjoyed the mix of family and young crowds, it felt more classy than usual brunch spots in the City.

This place has my two thumbs up and I can’t wait to bring my friends back here.

Chef's Kiss! 🤤 My buddy was back in town from Houston and kept talking up the stone pot here from when he lived in SF. It did not disappoint. I added some of the millionaires bacon and it was truly amazing. The portion felt like it was big enough for two people to share or one extremely hungry person. Service was good and the decor was nice. They had indoor/outdoor seating and some good drink/cocktail options. I'll be back and would recommend it to others.

Blackwood is a contemporary, lively and fun brunch spot in the Marina downtown. Loved the matcha coconut latte and the food was great as well! If you’re weak to spice, beware of the panang curry they did not hold back on the chili sauce! Overall, wish there were couple more vegetarian options but it was a bomb experience 🙌🏽.

Diner Review №187

Cute spot in SF Marina district. The food is really delicious and the portion size was pretty good too. The samosas are a must try! They had a lot of vegetarian options. Definitely recommend this place for good food!

Diner Review №188

Food is good, prices are good, but they do that lame thing where they include 20% gratuity in the bill, and then also ask if you want to leave a tip. Beware.

Diner Review №189

Pretty good brunch spot, reasonable price and great service. Location itself is not the most comfortable nor cozy, but still great

Diner Review №190

Got appetizers, and it was amazing

Diner Review №191

Tasty food and quick service. My partner got the flight of Millionaire's bacon, which looked enticing. I don't eat pork, but even I admired the balance of candied, crunchy, chewy, savory, sweet, and spicy that was represented. The spring rolls I had were crispy and light. The deep fried French toast wasn't too heavy, which was pleasing; it tastes of lemon ricotta 😋. The Thai Shakshuka is an entire, filling experience unto itself; it's still simmering as it comes out! In fact, all of the food is served piping hot — just like I like it.

As far as drinks, what we had (the hot spiced almond beverage & dragonfruit bellini) didn't match the caliber of the food. They lacked the flavor profiles noted in the description. We'll try something different next time.

The Dinner Stone Pot is a must have. You won’t be disappointed! Portion is big enough to share for 2 people.

Diner Review №193

Everything is a bit too sweet and sour to me. Service also not the most friendly.

Diner Review №197

A wonderful Thai centered restaurant. We found it by walking by and the hostess was able to seat our small party in 20 minutes on a Saturday night. The millionaires bacon was incredibly delicious and worth trying. 2 slices of very thick cut extremely succulent bacon with perfectly cooked asparagus. Our entrees were all delightful, particularly the Blackhawk Belly and aftershock. The friend rice with fresh tasting seafood was also well liked. I already want to return to try out the breakfast and brunch menu.
