Reviews
I've been to the Brazen head ~20 - 30 times in the last 2 years and it is by far my most frequented restaurant. Date night, group dinner, solo at the bar, I'll dine there for any occasion. Safe to say, Brazen Head is my favorite dining experience in SF. Sliders, Pepper Steak, Blue Cheese Olive Martinis, French Onion soup, it does it all well
I’ve been here 3 times and would like to keep returning till I can’t return anymore. Excellent burger, one of the best I’ve had. Phenomenal drinks - a great offering of beers and stellar espresso martinis and manhattans. Pricey but worth it. Amazing service every time and quite the ambiance, both indoors and outdoors.
Good cocktails here. Food wise is good. This atmosphere is not for anyone. Is a small place and there for is most of the time busy, which creates a noisy place.
I know this is a local favorite but this was actually the worst meal I’ve had in my 3 years in SF. The prime rib was not seasoned at all and the shrimp scampi was super disappointing. Not to be dramatic, but I I’ve had frozen pasta from TJ’s that is better than this. The food was bland and felt like it was cold, heated up in the microwave after sitting out for an hour, and still cold. It was a shock. Service was great, but maybe just go for drinks.
If you’re looking for a place where the food tastes as good as your drink looks, this is it. Cheers to memorable nights and tasty surprises! 🍸✨ Ideal for a date or meeting people with nice energy ❤️ also Dan the bartender was amazing service ❤️ the best onion 🧅 soup 🥣 in SF ❤️
