S.O.S: Save Our San Sebastian

By Becks & Posh   Dec 12, 2007

For the Love of Bar Crudo If it wasn't for the fact that my regular dining partner doesn't eat seafood, or cheese plates, or steak tartare, I would probably make Bar Crudo my second home. Since that is never going to happen, I save the treat of visiting Bar Crudo for girls' nights out. Yesterday an ex-local friend of mine, on a fleeting visit from her new home in New York, decreed that Bar Crudo should be the place to feed us, and with good reason: From raw favourites like wasabi tobiko-topped plump pillows of arctic char or tender, creamy scallops with vichyssoise and black caviar, lobster salad with burrata or the rich seafood chowder...

Bar Crudo

By Fork & Bottle   Sep 24, 2007

Our first meal exceeded our expectations at Bar Crudo, a small restaurant in San Francisco near Union Square. We are quite eager to return for their excellent seafood, such as their Lobster Salad, coupled with a wonderful beer list. FULL REVIEW

Bar Crudo

By Hungry Hedonist   May 11, 2007

Ithaca has been uncharacteristically hot, but alas, I only get to enjoy the nice weather from indoors. Being a student is a 24 hr job, especially during finals. That said, school ends in about a week or so, but I don't get to head back to California at all the entire summer. I'm sure Manhattan can handle my ravenous appetite, though a good portion of those meals will be takeout in the office. I FULL REVIEW

Bar Crudo recovering from tragedy

It's been a tough go for Bar Crudo, my vote for the best casual seafood restaurant in the city. FULL REVIEW

Bar Crudo - My thoughts are With You

By Becks & Posh   Nov 30, 2006

Bar Crudo is one of my favourite restaurants to have opened in San Francisco in 2006. I have visited three times, the last time only a few weeks ago, and although I haven't gotten around to writing about my love of the place yet, Bar Crudo fast gained a heart in my restaurant ratings system.

Raising the Bar

By Confessions of a Restaurant Whore   Nov 06, 2006

I am a sorry, sorry excuse for a human being. After enjoying Bar Crudo's delicacies for close to a year now, I am FINALLY writing about it. This has to do with nothing but laziness and busy-ness on my part as BC's vittles rock the house. FULL REVIEW

Bar Crudo, San Francisco

By Erin's Kitchen   Sep 01, 2006

I think I'm in love. Cozy zinc bar where you can watch the chef shuck oysters and prepare fish? Tom Waits on the playlist? Ethereal jellyfish lamps in the back of the bar? And more importantly: food so far from the ordinary, with a comfy price tag and sparkling flavors. FULL REVIEW

As crude as it gets

By Food Musings   Jun 22, 2006

Bar Crudo is still tops in our book for a cool dinner on a hot, sticky night. Last night's house special, a Spanish mackerel with basil and sea salt, was stupefyingly good, as were the plump, creamy kumamoto oysters, half a crab and bonus gift of a tomato-red crayfish. We love that their wine pours are lavish and applaud their festive choice of jellyfish-inspired lighting near the stairwell. Though we're a little slow on the uptake, we finally realized that the brother owners are twins -- I caught myself doing a rather trite double take as one walked past me into the kitchen and, seconds later, the other one popped out from behind the bar. We would have liked a wet towel to wipe off our crabby hands, but made do with a tableside ice wash courtesy of the iced down oyster tray. Tacky, perhaps, but we don't stand on ceremony around here.

Bar Crudo

By Food Musings   May 22, 2006

We had a genuinely good dinner tonight. In fact, I would even venture to call it great. Every bite we ate was good, right on, well done, and a few bites were even genius. It wasn't the kind of food that jumps out and grabs you by the gullet, but sometimes that's the best of all. FULL REVIEW

Learn the Art of Addition by Subtraction

By ChuckEats   Apr 05, 2006

Went here last night - moved out of the neighborhood but took the 25 minute walk to Union Square. I will have to temper my enthusiasm for the place a bit - it is definitely a 2nd-tier Uni/Nobu-type place. The menu doesn’t seem to change too much (most of the dishes were the same) and the service can be lacking (but it’s fine for the most part.) FULL REVIEW

Bar Crudo

By tablehopper   Mar 07, 2006

You'd think I was obsessed about fish or something since I'm hitting you up with two seafood joints two weeks in a row. Well, in case you all haven't noticed, crudo is hot. Well, it's actually cold and raw. Like sashimi, you don't to even want to think about eating some marginal or inexpensive product, so it's wise to frequent places where you are quite sure the chef knows what the hell he's doing. For the record, chef/owner Mike Selvera knows his fish. He had stints at both Yabbie's Coastal Kitchen and Café Maritime=fish chops. FULL REVIEW

Fresh Fish in SF

By ChuckEats   Oct 10, 2005

’m always surprised by the dearth of fish quality here in San Francisco - aside from Ino Sushi which is good but not great, I won’t dare go to any other sushi restaurant here in SF. So it was with a mix of caution and excitement that I watched Bar Crudo renovate a tiny little space as I walked by every Sat on my way to the farmer’s market. It looks like a small trend among bay area chefs is to downsize and open tiny, intimate spaces (ie, Canteen.) I finally got the chance to try Bar Crudo last night - there are 2 bars that sit about 4 and a room upstairs that can’t be much larger. FULL REVIEW
