The Rotunda San Francisco Reviews
A San Francisco Institution
We visit San Francisco two to three times a year, and over time, The Rotunda has become our farewell tradition. After packing our suitcases, we pack our bellies , reminiscing over the trip. It's our way of saying "until we meet again"
Afternoon Tea Lunch
One of those days you just want to relax and catch up with your friends is this great place on the 4th Floor of Neiman Marcus . The Rotunda. Had Salad a Bottle of bubbles and oysters to complement the Afternoon tray of Sandwiches is good ..we were no
Fabulous San Francisco!
Fabulous restaurant, with a gorgeous stained glass dome, which the seating is arranged around. The window seats offer a great view of downtown SF The food was fabulous, and the service excellent. Very varied menu and an excellent wine list.
Will go elsewhere next time for Afternoon Tea
We hadn’t been to the Rotunda for Afternoon Tea since 2019 which we had really enjoyed. We looked forward to today’s visit but unfortunately left disappointed. The staff were exceptional but the food served for the afternoon tea had changed and w

Popping in and out of the nice boutique stores around union square, I remembered I away wanted to stop by here. It was close to closing but I said what the heck. Easy access straight to the top with the elevators next to Chanel on the right side as y
A delightful afternoon tea.
Impeccable service with the well-prepared food and great ingredients. The finger sandwiches weren't typical for tea but delicious nonetheless.
Came here with family today.
The special appetizer was excellent. It is squash blossoms stuffed with ricotta cheese and sit on a bed of tomato coulis. You have got to try this very unique dish. Lobster and shrimp rosotto was an excellent entree choice. Service is always great.

Sometimes I am worried about these kind of boujee restaurants because I find many to have small portions with okay service and ridiculously high prices, but I was pleasantly surprised with a perfect lunch at The Rotunda! I do not remember the name of
(SF) Great service and the lobster bisque was delicious.
Truffle fries is alright. Nice little brunch area. Complimentary bread was good. Inside a mall so you can walk around after. Definitely going there more for the background
Wonderful tea and lunch serve.
A view that is breathtaking, and service is impeccable.
We went to the Rotunda to celebrate my birthday months ago.
Wow, how time flew. Another year older, don't remind me. Haha. Anyway, my husband accompanied me to this afternoon tea adventure. The place was busy. Even when we had a reservation, we still had to wait maybe 5-10 minutes. The interior is beautiful w

Delightful Afternoon Tea
My husband and I went to San Francisco for our first anniversary. On the day of our anniversary, we decided to take the cable car to afternoon tea at the Rotunda. The setting is beautiful. The service was very good as was the food. I found the price
Beautiful food
Surprisingly great option when at Moscone Center and you want to avoid the hysteria. Found it on OpenTable and was really pleased. Beautifully appointed with nice views. I started with the lobster bisque and it was fantastic, would go back just fo
This was our first time for afternoon tea here.
I've had tea at hotels and a local tea room but felt this place was better except for one place in Canada. The atmosphere is very nice with a gorgeous dome ceiling. I remember the City of Paris store at this site in my childhood with that beautiful

I made afternoon reservation a few weeks in advance for my MIL birthday tea service for 3 people. We checked in at 2:15pm even though our reservation was for 2:45. I was pleasantly surprised they seated us right away and next to the gorgeous window.

Amazing Food but Terrible Service.
Asked a couple question to the waitress and she gave us this look and in a very arrogant manner said "everything is written on the menu...." then we ordered some coffee and when it came out she held the coffee at the end of the table just s

Service was pretty good.
Food was a little under seasoned but that's a subjective thing. Served me a cup with lipstick stains but immediately changed it.
Disappointed in the quality of the food this time
It's been 10 years since I've had tea at the Rotunda, and this time it was not during the Christmas holiday. Since that time, I've been to tea many times in different cities and am well versed on the offerings of high tea. I took a friend here to c
The Rotunda - a hidden gem
One of San Francisco's best kept secrets is The Rotunda in Neiman Marcus. In the heart of Union Square, The Rotunda is perhaps San Francisco's finest settings for lunch or afternoon tea. A beautiful setting on the 4th floor of Neiman Marcus, dining
Good high tea
Elegant, good quality high tea at Neiman Marcus. Good variety of sandwiches, sweets and scones. Plenty of food to fill you up. 4 or 5 choices of teas to choose from. Great views of union square. A tad on the slow side on service but pretty frien
A classic with a view
I stumbled across online reviews during my recent visit to SF and decided to try this. I’m so glad I visited. The food is superb and the ire is worth the visit. I had the crab salad and the truffle fries. And the view of Union Square at my feet. Af

Luxurious place with a wonderful vibe! Service was amazing and the menu includes many different dishes, all worth trying.
Great Lunch Spot
This is a great place for lunch, especially if you can sit along the window with a nice view over Union Square. The food was good and the service was first class. I would recommend the crab melt sandwich and the cherry tart for dessert. A real hid

Beautiful ambiance and delicious food. Service was impeccable as well. A little pricey but to be expected with the view of Union Square. We had the tuna tartar, truffle fries to start. Both yummy and filling. We could have stopped there but we didn't

This place has been on my list for awhile now.
My partner surprised me by taking me here while we spent the day in SF! We did the afternoon tea which was well worth the price. You pick your tea, and get a small pot of it. The food tray came with scones, biscuits, pastrami sliders, smoked salmon b

Connect with users posting reservations for The Rotunda San Francisco
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Rotunda San Francisco. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Rotunda San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Rotunda San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at The Rotunda San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Rotunda San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
