Reviews for Fig & Thistle in San Francisco, CA
Slow & mediocre service, coupled with underwhelming & overpriced food renders this place ?to-avoid? on a casual night at... best. This was my first time eating here and will probably be my last. The wait time to be seated outside wasn?t an issue atall. However, the wait time for our pizzas to come was pretty unrealistic. I mean what are the cooks doing back there? Stompingthe tomatoes in the back? Most likely they forgot it in the oven because the crust was burnt to a crisp. Not to mention thatafter the order was put in, which the staff was urging us to do every 2 minutes. They barely tended to us at all. And upon therequest of some additional olive oil so that we can drizzle it on the pizza, the server declined because ?Unfortunately, thereis no way to ring it up.? I am very sorry, but why would you even charge me for a little olive oil? Other establishments havenever charged for such a small condiment. Maybe the waiter was just lazy. All this to say that the inflated prices here don?tjustify the quality of food and service at all. Hard pass! Read more
Really poor experience here with the staff who never brought our food order and rudely dismissed us when we inquired about it... after waiting an hour. Disappointed because the wine and pizza were promising but we had such a negative experience with theservice. Will not be coming back. Read more
Deep in Hayes Valley in a small corner of San Francisco you find this amazing food and wine ???? scene. The food is good, not... too much for a great wine spot and the wine? wow! Delicious. We had a great red Italian wine not too bold, not too sweet butjust perfect. The boys and I were able to enjoy the combo appetizers with a great wine, awesome conversation & all around goodtime catching up with memories and creating new ones. It?s a great place that reminds us of what a wonderful time looks likewhen you are with the ones you love. So if you are looking for an excellent place to go, get some wine, eat something light thisis definitely worth the trip, time and money. I truly hope you #enjoy it as much as we did ?????????

Great ambience. Lively crowd. Bad wait staff. We ordered a bottle of wine. The waiter left it with 4 empty glasses & walked... away. We were not attended to after untill last call was announced. Asked for water was given carafe w 4 empty cups. I ended upbeing the one pouring for everyone. Presented w 20%tip included for party of 4 or more. Bringing a bottle and not pouring thefirst glass is poor service by any standards. Especially for something that's primarily a wine bar. Read more

Beautiful space with lots of plants decor. The wine selection was good as well, though they have some bitter tasting wine that I... can't get used to as much. Read more
This place is cute !! Small, but laid out well. Bar tender knew her wines, we went as we wanted natural wines and she new her... stuff. Pleasant environment and yummy wines. I had to add something after to this review, as I wrote the above bit before weleft...THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! My husband and I were just going to do a flight before our flight (haha) back home, but instead weended up staying there for FIVE hours talking with the wine buyer about wine and trying fantastic vintages. We enjoyed glassafter glass of delicious wine. The bill was extremely reasonable considering how long we were there for! Absolutely a don?tmiss! Read more
