An expected and exceptional dining experience - food was fresh, creative, delicious and beautifully presented. Couldn’t believe we were at an airport hotel.

I've eaten here many times over the years. It is one of my favorite SF restaurants. Great atmosphere and food (always get the pasta with Truffles if it is on the menu), service is first-rate, and it has a fantastic wine program. Always ask for more Parker House rolls.

We love Octavia. Each dish is exquisite, a wonderful and imaginative combination of flavors. And the service could not be more welcoming. We return every chance we have.

I was in town for the Golden Gate Half-Marathon and was looking to mark the occasion with a nice post-race meal. Hilda and Jesse has been on my list of places to check out whenever I'm in the Bay Area for a few years now and I was fortunate enough that a reservation was available the day of the race. I went with the Chef's Adventure Menu, with a beverage pairing and pancake add-on, and there was no bad bite among the bunch. The standouts for me were the restaurant's take on a hushpuppy and tempura-fried black code in a pomegranate ponzu sauce. The service was also incredibly attentive and made sure I had a good dining experience. I left thoroughly stuffed and thoroughly satisfied.

We celebrated our 41st anniversary. Fantastic food as always. We’ve been coming there for many, many years. We enjoyed a very special Barolo 1985, which was the year of our wedding. Look forward to coming back again in the near future
