I started with maguro which was excellent. My main course was a tasty filet mignon with great vegetables and decorated with lobster bits. As you can tell from the selections, they have both Japanese and "American" style foods. The service was great. The place is pricey, but very good.

We arrived late and tired into SFO and visited Anzu in a pinch with a large group. While I would not consider this a good for groups type place they made accommodations for us in the lounge area and off we went. The lychee martinis were a big hit and the food was good. The menu did not have many of the standards you would see at your local sushi bar as the restaurant refers to itself as "California Fusion Japanese". How about we get over ourselves and add avocado roles to the menu!! The staff was totally accommodating and made the roles we requested. We went home happy though our wallets were lighter than one would have expected but such is life when one takes advantage of food at a hotel restaurant.

Hi Alnosh,

Thanks for the review! I am so glad to hear that you received such an accommodating greeting by our staff at Restaurant ANZU after a long day of travel, and I love that your group so enjoyed the lychee martinis! Our menu is certainly geared toward delighting the senses, and I'm sorry that we did not have the specific dish you were looking for. It sounds like our staff more than made up for that with a fantastic accommodation to your request! We would be very pleased to host you again should you travel back to San Francisco, and we would love another chance to thrill you.

Cheers!

Went here with a friend while traveling for business. We shared several wonderful sushi rolls. The service was attentive and the atmosphere was enjoyable.

I actually cancelled a reservation at another restaurant for the convenience of Anzu. The menu looked good and since this was the night before departure I decided to stay close. Both my partner and I ordered the prix fix dinner. One had the gnocchi and the other the chicken. The wait staff was great. Very attentive and efficient. The food was standard however. Although tasty it was just standard. I wish I had not cancelled my reservation at Thoughts Style Cuisine which got better reviews. Breakfast buffet is great.

Delightful atmosphere and bar.The food was excellent and innovative. It was not inexpensive but the convenience of "eating in" trumped the price. Service was attentive without being intrusive. All good.
