   I’ve visited Bellota three times now, and it has consistently left nothing to be desired. The staff is always attentive and friendly and the food is amazing. I would recommend sitting indoors if possible, the ambience is much better!

   We were having a date night and had an incredible time. All the dishes were delicious especially the jamon with stone fruits. This is one of our favorite restaurants in SF. Will come back again.

   Excellent everything. Food was amazing. Jorge was excellent!!! He stood out with level of service. Gilda- olives - Great per my husband husband. Not a big fan of olives. Crudo- incredible, ordered a second round. Matrimonio- also incredible, way better than expected - also ordered a second round Charcutería platter- excellent - maybe more than 3 pieces of bread would be been preferred, you can ask for more but there’s a charge. We did, unfortunately, it came out very late and charcuterie was done. Melocotón- I loved this. Nice little mid dining sweetness. Bravas- great!… light and crispy Pulpo Asado- excellent! We had 2 orders. Pescado- favorite dish of the night. It was AMAZING!! beautifully charred and tender. I think it was Branzino Bone in ribeye steak- it was very good but for $100 for 16 oz, we were expecting amazing. Dessert- torta arroz con leche - good. Churros- great- light and crispy. Came with chocolate and caramel sauce - caramel was soo good. Coffee- unfortunately I received my americano with the saucer, the handle, the cup and the sugar packets covered in coffee and less coffee in the cup. It was obvious it head been spilled but I guess they were too busy to fix it. Disappointing for a high end restaurant. It was getting super busy and it seemed like everyone was hustling and we felt pressure to get out of there. I didn’t ask for another one. We were about 5-10 min past our “2 hour” window so maybe that’s why.

    At first I loved the vibe, but once I sat down I realized I'd be yelling at the other side of the table for the rest of the night. It is just very loud. For a G&T menu like that I expected way more. The paella was super disappointing. We got the mushroom one to split and the bottom was burnt. Like black and not in a "burnt but crispy way". There was no crisp. I don't know if I would go back... for those prices, I expect way more.

    Had reservation… yet had to sit next to band.. which was oo loud !! Waiter said do u want to see Sommelier?… “ give us a few minutes” we said …then after about 5 minutes we said yes we’d like him/ her to come over … 10 minutes later … “Sorry he’s gone home for the evening”… it was 8:15 pm!!! Told waiter “you choose for us … bring us a variety of plates a mix of the house favorite .. budget wasn’t an issue’ 1st plate prosciutto and fruit 2nd Shaved ham / prosciutto… ( strange seeing we just had ham ) We ordered wine … waiter selected it … good choice … after 6 or so plates they bright a paella one side beef I think …. other seafood ( that side was cold … rice was cold ) Waiter asked “you like another bottle of wine ? “… “ yes same again” we stated clearly Sadly he didn’t bring it . We paid and then left . Overall a poor experience, especially as I had two guest in from out of town, we had unlimited budget … and place was recommended over numerous other locations . I and my friends thought overall a poor experience. I really was expecting a better experience.

    LOVED the food. It is outstanding as well as the personalized, prompt and helpful service. Also, the drinks I had were excellent. Looks excellent for celebrations. We will definitely be regular customers. The noise level was high in part because of the band but it was worth it.

    Bellota is a solid go to. The food is great, the service is almost always spot on (this time is was a bit slow but it looked like he had 2 sections completely across the floor from each other), the ambiance is amazing. We sat in the bar area so we got the band playing Spanish music which was great. The whole experience is always a great time. Of course we will be back.

    I love this place. The live music was fun but waaaay to loud for the size and acoustics of the place. I was warned the music gets loud. I think it was well beyond background music, felt more like they were trying to have a concert. If thats the case am i hear for the food or the music? What is front and center? I came here for iberico ham, all the dishes with it I could get my big fat fingers on. Wish there were more though. Like let's iberico the hell out of everything. Sure have some non iberico things cause Spain isn't all iberico but when you are called Bellota and have bellota hams hanging in the eating area is sets expectations i felt the menu offerings fell short off. The Iberico steak thing was delicious. There is a fine line between exploring laterally and trying to hard for the sake of it. I think they can find a good in between.

    This is our 2nd visit to Bellota after a 3 year break.The food was even better than I remember (Paella is one of the best, but service was severely lacking. It was all of our impression the waitress lacked any time of customer service skills. Her personality was so dry and CV uninviting, it partially ruined tge birthday celebration. In fsct she didnt even acknowledge my bday at all and made no effort to "connect" with us during the meal.

    This place is quite expensive. We ordered gazpacho and at $10 we expected at least a bowl of gazpacho, instead we got a small glass of gazpacho each. Although the octopus and the paella were good size, they were quite expensive. So for a dinner for two adults and two kids we paid just over $300. Two paellas, two octopuses, two gazpachos, some olives which were not from Spain and a pitcher of Sangria. The food was good but not memorable. For that price, we are not going back.

    Drinks were well prepared and a very tasty way to start off our meal. Every dish we ordered was super flavorful and expertly prepared. Only downside is we sat outside and a previous evenings' mishap with one of the heaters left some of the roof covers missing which caused a bit more wind and loud popping at the remaining panels.
