Arquet

Arquet absolutely exceeded our expectations. From the moment we walked in, every detail felt intentional. The space is stunning with a warm, modern design, an open kitchen that adds energy without being overwhelming, and an atmosphere that is both elegant and relaxed. The service was exceptional. Every member of the team was genuinely welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive without ever feeling intrusive. The pacing of the meal was spot on, allowing us to enjoy each course without feeling rushed. The food was outstanding from beginning to end. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the grilled oysters were a standout, and the fry bread with ricotta was one of those dishes you'll find yourself thinking about later. The whole grilled fish was cooked perfectly with beautifully crisp skin and moist, flavorful flesh. Even the desserts were memorable, especially the crème brûlée with its perfectly caramelized top. One detail we especially loved was the creativity throughout the experience, from the beautifully presented dishes to the custom branded ice cube in the cocktail. It is clear that a tremendous amount of thought goes into every aspect of the restaurant. Arquet delivers on every level: outstanding food, impeccable service, beautiful ambiance, and thoughtful hospitality. It is the kind of restaurant that makes you excited to plan your next visit before you've even left. Highly recommended.

One of the best new restaurants I have been to in SF! The food was exceptional and the service was top notch. I went with 4 friends and we had the best time together! The location and the view are spectacularly gorgeous to match the presentation of each dish. I loved everything we ordered (and we ordered almost the entire menu) but I keep dreaming about the scallops, the yellow tail, and surprisingly the crudite plate was the best I have ever had! Would def return and recommend to all my friends!

Very nice service and have good food. The squid was exceptionally good—perfectly charred and tender. The fruit pickle was a real standout, too, with its bright, tangy twist. And honestly, the desserts are the best thing on the menu; you can even grab them from the baking store next door if you are a dessert fans . they are same company. One area for improvement, though: the bone marrow. I prefer big, deep, scoop‑able bones, and these felt a bit lacking in that satisfying richness. As for the foie gras—it’s my absolute favorite, but alas, whole foie gras is no longer available in California. So I’ll take the pâté, but I still miss that glorious seared lobe. I would love to come back again to try the fish. looks amazing！

Excellent experience last night at Arquet for my family visiting SF from Texas. The food, especially the chicken and pork, were nothing short of amazing (coming from Texas where we take proteins very seriously, this stands out even more!). The service was the perfect balance of attentiveness, personal, and fun. The details, including the water front view, plates, silverware, and ambiance were casual and inviting but also high quality without being pretentious. Definitely a 5-star team and restaurant that stands out in a town of so many great restaurants!

Incredible ambiance and fantastic service! We’d definitely return and recommend it. While the seafood was a bit ordinary and our XO mushroom starter lacked even flavor distribution because it was served as a whole head, the staff's responsiveness was stellar. They instantly replaced our undercooked mushroom pasta with a perfect version.
