Marlena Restaurant San Francisco Reviews from The Last Year
I had a great dinner during my last visit at Foliage.
The crudo and beef were my favorite parts. It's nice to see the chef come up with innovative recipes that I'm not really seeing at other places. He has some interesting ideas around showcasing dishes from various parts of the world that I'm also curious to check out in the future.

I had to call the restaurant the next day to ask for a refund for the erroneous charge on the bill, and they refunded me.
lovely place with a nice atmosphere.
Offers an affordable 5 courses pre fix menu with various tasty options in most sections. Large wine selection with a wine pairing option to go with the pre fix menu. The Chef can also serve kid's friendly dishes. definitely recommend this restaurant
Excellent food, amazing service, and calming atmosphere.
Chef Mo is very creative with how he mixes locally sourced ingredients.
Service is good.
Food was just ok, but price and what you get ratio is not balanced. For $130/person price fixe, I expected something exceptional but thats not what we received.
It's an absolute treat to come here for dinner! Excellent
It's an absolute treat to come here for dinner! Excellent food, excellent wines, good service! I've been to Foliage twice now, and both times, my meals were delicious, and I left thinking that I am very much looking to coming back. I see a lot of people complaining in their reviews about the portions, but I Ieft Foliage with a full belly, and feeling like I should take a little post-meal walk! Each of the 4 plates of tonight's meal (I opted for the vegetarian versions) were wonderful!
Nice space.
The food was ok, the cooking was good and the service was welcoming; however, there was something about the sauce + ingredient combination that felt a little off. Also, the servers poured the wine (our wine; we payed corkage) in a huge portion that went way beyond Burgundy traditions. I think it was just missing that 5% needed to be an amazing restaurant.
Arrived at 5pm sharp.
Service felt sluggish, yet it wasn't the server's fault; rather, the kitchen struggled to expedite orders promptly.While the dishes boasted impressive presentation, their flavors didn't harmonize well, as each ingredient seemed to vie for attention independently. Nonetheless, the restaurant maintained a pristine appearance, with meticulously set tables and spotless wine glasses. The wine selection offered reasonable prices. Overall, the experience left much to be desired, especially as we found ourselves the sole patrons in the establishment, enduring a two-hour wait for our meal's conclusion. We would recommend informing the staff of a maximum dining time of one hour.
If you haven't tried fine dining before in your life, you
If you haven't tried fine dining before in your life, you are in for a treat. Foliage blew me away as a beginner in the industry with staff that catered to my every need and really carefully (and thoughtfully) explained how each dish would be, including what wines best to pair them with. Each dish was meticulously crafted to perfection with an amberjack starter that accentuated the fish's amazing quality with smoked shoyu, quail and sweetbread that were so juicy without the kind if gamey smell that you get from wild meat, and a bomb a** olive oil cake that paired well with their dessert wines. Every dish felt personal with the chef's ideals and passion knowing that ingredients were locally + sustainably sourced in California and thought out in a menu that changes to the season's offerings. If you are looking for a place to impress your family, your special someone, or your office colleagues, Foliage has the food, service, and ambience that is irreplaceable for a visit in San Francisco!
My husband and I had dined at Foliage once before, in
My husband and I had dined at Foliage once before, in November of last year. It was his birthday dinner and we loved it. We decided to return for date night, and we made a dinner reservation for 7:30 pm on Saturday. We were so excited to dine here again since we had loved our experience the time before. We arrived and were seated promptly. Unfortunately that was the only prompt part of the entire evening. Every dish took between 20 to 30 minutes to come out. Dessert took even longer, about 40 minutes. The table next to us sat down an hour after we arrived and they got everything so quickly. We were finishing our entree when they got theirs. We got dessert served at the same time, which was after 10pm! Two and a half hours later. Two and a half hours for five dishes! This was a big fail from management. If you don't have enough people in the kitchen, fix the schedule. If you someone calls in sick, find another person to cover. If you can't find anyone, cover the shift yourself. Oh, and an automatic 18% gratuity when the service was this bad? That's outright theft. I would give them zero stars if I could.

First let me say, I don't generally enjoy esoteric food at high prix fixes. I know this is a thing and that many people do like to amuse their taste buds with such fare, but I am both a cheapskate and a little limited in my palate. But my fancy ass friend shepherded us to Foilage after a gallery opening and I was quietly trapped. The opening starter of diced avocado in a melange of marinated pineapple sitting in chili oil was tasty - both tablespoons of it. The gnocchi in cabbage with a Gorgonzola crème sauce was likewise tastyish. Despite the $15 up charge, the beef filet was an unimpressive piece of meat - perhaps it was punishment for not ordering the sole, which my wife enjoyed very much. The accompanying but unidentifiable accoutrements were fun to look at, but not a delight to my taste buds. The dessert choices were not impressive - the olive cake was certainly something I could and would make at home. The white chocolate budino with huckleberries was not improved by finely ground peanuts. The serving size was restrained and I should be grateful for that given my bulging waistline. The service was friendly and polite. The waiter was a bit quiet in an introverted way, but took the time to explain each dish. My companions who ordered the wine pairing were happy with it. As I faced the wall I didn't really soak up much of the ambience but the space seemed pleasant enough in an unremarkable way. The bathroom was out of toilet paper and paper towels. For me, this was a three star experience but I am adding a star to compensate for my bias against this type of place. So some may find this a good match for their dining requirements, but next time I'll get some Thai food or something.
First I would like to say that Foliage is a beautiful
First I would like to say that Foliage is a beautiful restaurant and service was excellent. My only comment is based on the menu. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and we chose Foliage based on the menu posted on the website. To our disappointment we were informed upon siting at the table that the menu was a family style with only 3 mains to choose from (brisket, sole, & mushrooms) with three sides to share for a prefix of $55.00 everything tasted good the brisket was quit fatty but flavorful. I do think the price was fitting for the offerings. Please in the future post that Sundays are a different menu from your $75.00 prefix posted. We would have chosen a different night if we had known of the menu change.
Food, presentation and quality of the ingredients was
Food, presentation and quality of the ingredients was exceptional. One thing the restaurant does is ... not skimp on butter with the bread! May seem like an inconsequential thing but it's the attention to details that makes the dining experience go from great to fantastic. Humble and talented chef with outstanding skills. Staff was professional and friendly. Great restaurant overall. Beautifully appointed and clean bathrooms. It's the blessings in the details!
We had an early dinner so the restaurant wasn't crowded,
We had an early dinner so the restaurant wasn't crowded, and the service was pleasant and attentive. The food was good but not great. The portion size is surprisingly small, even for the mains. My husband asked for more of the complimentary bread, and was surprised to see an added charge of $7 on the bill. Another thing that surprised us was the duck breast had a $20 extra charge. We both didn't notice it on the menu since the charge is located on the right side of the menu. I'm glad we tried this restaurant but we probably will not come back since we paid $267.88 for 2 people, got so little food and went home hungry. It was not a satisfying experience. The items we ordered: - Amberjack Crudo was very tasty, the mac nut adds a nice crunch (5/5). - Shrimp Toast was crispy on the outside and had great flavor (5/5). - Ricotta Gnocchi was fine but underwhelming (3/5). - Local Black Cod was perfectly cooked, favorite dish for the evening (5/5). - Muscovy Duck Breast - the meat wasn't tough but there were a lot of veins within the meat that made it tough and chewy, and I didn't like the sauce (2/5). - White Chocolate Budino - absolutely delicious, a great dessert (5/5). I wish they offered more than one option for dessert though.
Dined at Foliage on Thursday 2/15/2024 with my daughter.
We did the wine pairing. We had a wonderful dining experience. The food was delicious and the presentation was uplifting and beautiful. David our server was very attentive, courteous, informative and professional. Chef Mo was gracious to say hello - he is so nice and incredibly talented!! We also liked the area and especially loved our table near the window. We will be returning for sure!
Food was fantastic, but the service was terrible.
We had a 7:15 reservation and didn't get seated until 7:35. The waiter did not come to our table until 8 to welcome us or ask what we wanted (mind you it's pre fixed so should be faster). It took some time to get our meals, and when we did, it was not our table's order. I finally had to ask the hostess where the meal was, and she brought us our dessert instead of the main course. There hasn't been a restaurant in San Francisco that has an automatic gratuity where the service has also been good, so I blame that. Really wanted to like this place but paying premium prices for sub par service isn't worth it .
While the interior and food styling is beautiful, we are
While the interior and food styling is beautiful, we are unlikely to return soon. The food was fine, but not outstanding. In particular the kale in my entree was cold, making for an unpleasant experience. Also, there was no apology when they brought the wrong dish. Service-wise, our waiter was very nice but awkward. After we were seated, no one acknowledged us for at least 15 minutes, until we had to ask for the waiter, who came over and without any introduction of the menu said "ready to order?" Also, the wait between courses was very long. Foliage has the potential to be much better than it is. Hoping it improves because we did like the interior and concept, but it has some work to do to get there!
Tasty and friendly
We booked a table at this restaurant for a treat and did not regret it. First, I felt a bit uncomfortable as the place is not large and we were sitting right nest to the bar and it was rather loud and crammed. But, without me having to ask, the waiter realized that there was a problem and offered to get us a quieter table. The food was delicious and well prepared. Altogether, this was a great evening in a very relaxed atmosphere for a very reasonable price.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Newbie sellers— how fast do your reservations sell?
I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!
