Aliment

I've come here twice this month because of proximity to the Masonic. Most everything is delicious! The only miss was the bacon jam burger, which we did not find to be very exciting. Everything else was absolutely delicious. The crispy fried chicken is one of the best I've ever had in my life!!! The chickpea meatballs are also wonderful, as is the bacon mac and cheese. And our dessert, the bread pudding, omg!! Service was warm, friendly and attentive. And prices are reasonable for that location. I highly recommend this place for any reason, and especially if you're going to a show at the Masonic.

I only went because it was walking distance to the Masonic and we were headed to Ali Wong - it exceeded every expectation myself and my dinner partner had and we’re picky. I had the lamb - so so so good and she had a pork chop. Ate it too fast to think about photographing but the espresso martini was on point too!

Showed up without a reservation yet were seated in minutes during peak hours. The manager thanked us for our patience and apologized for the delay which was definitely not necessary. The food was delicious, staff was pleasant, fun, and full of smiles. Enjoyed it so much we made reservations for the next day, when we arrived, we were treated like old friends and had another wonderful dinning experience.

The food is great for the price point along with the original cocktail menu. It was one of the few fine dining restaurants that was open between 2 to 5 pm. We were a party of 4 and I was impressed that the waitress remembered all of our orders by heart. No paper here needed. We all ordered cocktails, mains and desserts. Everything was what you should expect from California cuisine. Fresh veggies and well seasoned poultry, fish and meats. The highlight dish of the dishes was the truffle fries. The Franhattan was delicious and innovative. This is definitely a repeat restaurant and they play cool 80s tunes.

I am so happy we picked this place as our last stop before leaving SF. I had the chicken sandwich with a side of fries and it was delicious. Perhaps the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. Bravo to the chef. I did not have the salmon salad, but I saw 3 walk by my table and wow they looked incredible.

This is a small restaurant with a nice bar in the main area of the restaurant. There are some booths downstairs but also tables upstairs. The interior of the restaurant is pretty basic and due to the floor and plain walls the noise level is pretty high. The menu is good and has many different options. We tried mussels, fried chicken, chicken wings (extremely spicy but very good), lamb rack, and the salmon. We had various beers (pretty good selection) and white and red wine (limited selection). The prices are high for this type of venue. You can find similar type food in other bars/restaurants at much better prices. However, the food was very good, and met our high expectations. Some staff members were friendly and professional. We enjoyed eating at Aliment and might come back again. Ambience: 2/5 (the restroom is 1/5) Staff: 4/5 (some of the staff members were less friendly, but we went with the best benchmark). Food: 4/5 Drinks: 4/5 Price/quality: 2/5 (too pricey for this quality and dining experience)
