My wife and I dined here a month ago and it was the best meal we had in the Bay Area, better than our food at at Chez Panisse. Slanted Door calls itself Vietnamese cuisine but it is more a fusion of Vietnamese flavors plated in a Western manner. We enjoyed the setting, the Ferry Building overlooks the bay and... more

We loved our meal at Slanted Door - OK it wasn't cheap but it was worth it. We had read about the restaurant before we arrived in San Francisco and found it whilst exploring the Ferry Building end of town. Managed to book a table for the same evening, albeit later than we would have liked. The bar and restaurant... more

Great buzzy athmosphere with a very interesting menu, food tasted great but our "special occasion" (our last night in San Fran + the end of our West Coast USA holiday) was ruined by a pretentious waiter who wanted the meal to be served HIS WAY not our... more

The Slanted Door was a fun & extremely wonderful experience. We enjoyed a pre-dinner cocktail in the lively cocktail lounge. Great people watching! The hotel is right on SF Bay & has beautiful views. The service was friendly, helpful, & very attentive. Plates are served family style, so we took our waitress's suggestion & ordered several plates for our table... more

Friends recommended this place to me but forgot to mention RSVP. Good luck on getting a table on a Friday night-however you can sit in the lounge. This is not usually our style to sit on low chairs with people hovering over us-however given it is appetizers only-we had a meal of appetizers and tried a wide range of their... more

SD is one of those places that foodies talk up so much, you know you have to eventually go. With reservations of at least a week out required, my expectations were high... but unfortunately they were not met. They say the 3 most important things in buying real estate are location location location and much of the Door's appeal is... more

Made reservations a few weeks ago for last Tuesday. We were lucky to be sitting next to a local who advised us on the choices. We had shaking beef, crab & corn soup, spring rolls, shrimp in a chili sauce and another kind of beef with tomatoes. Everything was excellent! I would not change a thing. Even the martini was... more

They have not changed the menu at this place in 10 years. The food is o.k., but it is very dated. more
