Amazing place!! The food was immaculate. The service was beyond amazing and the drinks were wonderful. I recommend this place to everyone. This was such a great experience, especially being from the East Coast and coming to San Francisco for a conference. I would definitely recommend this place all the time! I came on Friday and tonight for dinner.

So, I am in San Francisco for a couple of days for work. After a long day, a colleague says her partner says we should go to The Cavalier for...English food? Well, I'm game for just about anything. We get there and the feel is sophisticated, but not overly so. A real adult feel for people that want good food, good conversation, on a good place. On all three The Cavalier delivers. Enjoy!

Long over due review. Been coming here for a few years and more regularly recently. Strong drinks. ( Carlos and Kristoff) Amazing fast attentive staff. Unique wall decor. Marble floors, old world bar and a vibe. Don’t wonder- just come and explore. Flavorful steaks, classic fish a chips, deviled eggs are tasty and dive into the refreshing salads. Did I mention the cocktails & service ? See you there.
