Foreign Cinema

Good place for tasty Californian food. Food was so yummy. The staff was very welcoming and sociable. The bill was good for what you get. Ambience is similar to Fresno's scene.

Although this place might look pretentious and a little bit overwhelming when you're just going for a nice brunch, don't let it get you. Make a reservation ahead of time so that you don't feel left out waiting for a table and get to Foreign Cinema to enjoy one of the best brunches in San Francisco.

The dinner here is good as well and the movies that are displayed on the wall in the outdoor patio area are always classic and entertaining while enjoying conversations with friends. Definitely a romantic spot if you eat outside.

Amazing ambience!! The outdoor movie seating is conveniently heated. Food is off the charts good with a changing seasonal menu. Don't know why this place is not on Michelin list. True San Francisco gem.

Great food. Great service. Think of the "cinema" as a gimmick. You don't actually watch a movie while your eating, but the overall ambience is awesome. It's kind pricey, but to be expected. With 2 people don't expect to spend less than $100.

Okay I actually love Foreign Cinema. It's a great little restaurant and I always experience great service, really love the food, and the atmosphere cannot be beat. Last time we went we were there for New Years and the menu was somewhat different. The vegetarian selection was good but was slightly overpriced. Which leads me to my 3 star rating. I've taking my boyfriend here a few times and I'm always super stoke about it but every time he comes away saying it's overpriced for what he gets. He's almost always disappointed. Last time he got the lamb and still just felt it was mediocre. Unfortunately this is a large part of my dining experience, and if the person I go with frequently is consistently disappointed, it's hard for me to maintain my enthusiasm about the place.
