This place has been around for a long time, and it shows in the best way, with authentically old pieces all over the interior. The food is excellent if a little pricey (but what isn't pricey in this city?) and the service is fast and friendly.

Sears Fine Food has been serving San Francisco since 1938, an absolute institution just off Union Square. The 18 famous pancakes, light, fluffy, absolute heaven in every bite. The eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, perfectly poached, silky salmon, hollandaise with just the right tang. And that thick-cut bacon, crispy on the outside, meaty and rich inside, proper bacon! Everything executed spot-on. A classic San Francisco gem still at its finest. Absolutely amazing.

Firstly visited in 2014 and enjoyed great breakfast with the family. In 2025, returned to buy their pancakes mix, which is winning and delicious, for home cooking. Thanks for keeping up and sustaining such a nice historic place for several decades.

Wow, we had some of the best food of our lives here. The NY strip, lobster ravioli and the Lee's egg's Benedict the next morning for breakfast. We stayed at the chancellor hotel which is literally next door. I must for the food and old world atmosphere if you're making a stop in San Francisco

We had a lovely dinner here. The place is super cute with a really authentic vibe. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. And the food was amazing! We had the lobster ravioli and the seafood linguine. If you are hungrier go for the linguini because the serving is definitely larger. The bill came to $55 with no extras or drinks. Pretty good value for some excellent seafood pasta in a great place!
