    We chose to sit at the counter so we could see the chefs roasting and slicing meat. They also interact with you, which was really cool. Every single dish was delicious, from the amuse bouche to the dessert and wine parings. Our only issue is that the steak knives were super dull. Which is kind of funny considering it's a steak house. You're allowed to select which knife you desire from a tray of knives. My partner and I selected different knives and both were super dull... this is even when slicing through buttery A5 Wagyu. We asked for another... also dull.. Otherwise, was a wonderful experience.

    I chose this place because I was looking for something special with a great experience to take my childhood friend out for her birthday. I saw this was in the mission. Something that she and I are very familiar with and grew up in and thought let’s try this. We both had the Omakase, from the first bite to the last bite to the delicious Sake we had, the entire experience was outstanding!

    This was our first visit to Precita Social with our family of four, including two teens, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The menu was ideal for us, offering a great variety of meat, seafood, and vegetarian options so everyone found something they loved. The food was outstanding, the service was attentive, and the ambiance created the perfect setting for a relaxed and memorable family dinner. We’ll definitely be back.

    This burger made me question my existence. Upon entering this majestic palace, I felt like I was driving a jeep without doors. It was absolutely marvelous, and I would bring every person from my future lineage to dine. It’s an absolute 15 out of 10 thank you and I will be back for more. - Nada
