The food here is as authentic as it gets in San Francisco. It resembles Chinese home style cooking. I tend to order the same items each time I dine here, that is, fried crab, pa...

Worst

I'm not sure - maybe I missed the Lounge part? The bar upon entering is small, kinda cozy. The rest of the place is awfully plain. It might be cool if you're seated next to your d...

Delicious Salt and Pepper Crab! 6/8/2005

Yummy!!!! 5/16/2005

I've always loved this place for it's food. But having returned there after 5 years away, I find that the restaurant has improved tremendously. The restaurant used to be a tiny place. Now, they have remodeled the top floor and expanded. But that's not what was so impressive. My boyfriend and I went there this past weekend while in SF for a short trip. We made sure to go. First off, the food was to die for. The seafood was fresh and everything was pleasing to the tummy. Secondly and most importantly, the service was amazing. If any of you have ever gone to a Chinese restaurant before, you know that you are not going for the service. However, this restaurant had service that put me in awe. The entire meal was wonderful. Don't worry about parking in the city...there's free validation after 5pm. Even more reason to go. =) Pros: food, validated parking, service more

Disappointing. 5/16/2005

We had heard good things about R&G Lounge but experienced something much different. First of all, they had no record of our reservation eventhough we had made it about 2 hours earlier. The hostess was pretty unsympathetic about it. But in the midst of a room full of people waiting for a table, she was able to seat us in about 20 minutes. Okay, not bad. We sat downstairs, which was like a basement that was quickly setup for dinner. We ordered the house specialties (squab and the salt-n-pepper squid). They ran out of squab. So we ordered the Black bean chicken. It was totally average. The squid was totally lackluster, deep fried, and no pepper to be found, but plenty of salt. We both left the place feeling completely unsatisfied. Pros: near North Beach Cons: service, food, ambiance more

poor restaurant planning 10/25/2004

I helped with a wedding banquet at R & G lounge and was disappointed. We were told that we'd have the entire 2nd floor at 7pm, 7:30 at the latest to set up for a 8pm dinner. When we arrived at 7:40, a party was still in one of the rooms, and three couples were dining on the balcony of the 2nd floor. One couple was still eating at 8:30 while the guests were coming in and signing the guest book. The management never apologized for their misplanning and just kept on saying that they would be finished soon. Our guests had to wait outside in the rain because there was no room inside. The only good dishes were the chicken and the vegetables. For $350 a table, you are not expecting only the cheapest dishes to be tasty. The other dishes were either extremely salty or tasteless. more

Unacceptable Service, Do not recommend 8/25/2004

jimmy188 Provided by Partner
We went there for lunch, food is good. However, when we ask for our bill, we have to wait forever. When we ask the waiter one more time, the wait says " I am busy as well, you just have to wait" in front of all other customer. This is insane and really unacceptable service. more

One of the Best in SF 11/29/2003

If you only have one place to eat in SF and you crave good Cantonese cuisine, you would do well by choosing to eat at R and G. The barbeque pork will be the best you will have ever eaten. Seafood dishes are the strength of the restaurant and should not be missed. Portions are not huge and prices are a bit high but you get what you pay for. Pros: Barbeque Pork, crab, free parking Cons: pricey more

YUMMY 7/22/2003

This is probably one of my favorite (fancier chinese) restaurants. I guess the ppl who gave LOW ratings are probably use to the typical tourist foods such as sweet & sour pork, fried rice, and pot stickers or maybe Panda Express??! LOL. This is not your ""typical"" chinese restaurant because the quality of the food here is awesome and I always come back for the fried crab. Pros: fried crab, shark fin soup Cons: parking more

Horrible Experience 2/1/2003

The food was mediocre. Nothing had much taste. I was overcharged for everything. And when I spoke to the manager, I was told that it was my fault for not knowing. This is the worst dining experience I have ever had! more
