Unique, fun atmosphere with a menu that offers small plates to share or salad and entree options. The food leans towards American comfort dishes. There is seating at the bar, tables downstairs, and tables upstairs. The interior of the restaurant is comfortable with an inviting vibe. The noise level seemed high and made intimate duscussions difficult but fun for big, social groups. The staff were friendly and professional. The seating areas and bathrooms were clean.

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.

This is a fun place to eat. Now they have a hamburger and chicken sandwich. If you are stuck get the chicken it was smashingly good and if you really want the hamburger, truly get the chicken. My date had the hamburger and we both agreed I had the better dish. The garlic fries are amazing.

Incredible all around! Some of the best wings I've ever had! One of the best steak salads I've ever had!
Amazing service from Anna!

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)
