Great Service & Dessert, Not-So-Good Food
by LeilaniSouzaDotCom at Citysearch
We had higher expectations of The San Franciscan, but they did not deliver. Service was super but our entrees were a fail. The Ahi Tuna was overpeppered and the Asian Scallops were served in a bland, watery sesame-ginger sauce. The rice was overcooked, but the green beans were spectacular...and so was the Rockslide Brownie we shared for dessert!
- Pros: Rockslide Brownie, Green Beans, Service
- Cons: Seared Ahi Tuna, Seared Asian Scallops
EXCELLENT service, great food, perfect place to host a partyf

We hosted my son's baptism here last Sunday for lunch and us along with ALL of our guests enjoyed their dishes. The service went above and beyond to make our occasion perfect. My husband and I had high standards into picking a restaurant in Walnut Creek that could not only accommodate our large party, but serve delicious food also. We tried 5 (yes 5) restaurants and we always ended up comparing them to the San Franciscan. The service was excellent, the food was great, the price was the most reasonable- while we were getting quotes of almost $58/person not including an additional fee for room reservation, the San Franciscan came in at almost half the price and didn't charge for room reservations. They always worked with us to satisfy our needs.
When you go, try the salmon with pesto penne and the baked brie...yummm!
- Pros: Parking in the back of the restaurant available at no additional cost
A wonderful restaurant

I visited the San Franciscan for the first time this last weekend and I must say I was very impressed with the selection, the level of service and quality of food. The staff was very courteous and the food was amazing. I have already recommended the restaurant to my friends. I will be returning customer.
- Pros: Excellent food and bar selection, food was amazing, service was outstanding.
