Excellent Fine Dining - So Worth a Special Journey
Team Atelier Crenn really knows fine dining, creative/tasty food, exceptional service, and wine pairings. I’m equally impressed now as I was when I first visited 18 months ago. Such freshness, such bold flavors, such creativity! Seafood and Vegetables were the stars of the meal with the “cherry bomb,” the carrot and pea taco, the cauliflower and caviar, and the beets and leche de tigre the standouts. The dry aged black cod with sides was superb. The restaurant’s redesign for 2023 gave it an airy and light feel. The overall experience (phenomenal dinner, visiting the food chefs in the kitchen, the pastry chefs in their kitchen, and delicious desserts in Bar Crenn) was worth the money and definitely worthy of its 3 stars. THANK YOU!
Be the first to ReplyAbsolutely the best and the worst
Beautiful inventive new delicious cuisine, with attentive service, shoos tempura with beet compute soooo good. Then comes dessert maybe the worst ever certainly the worst for a 3 star restaurant, really ruined the experience and forced me to say don’t go.
Be the first to ReplyUNUSUAL, INTERESTING EXPERIENCE....NOT MY FAVORITE 3 STAR
small , uninteresting, loud [also pop/rock music] dining space with 20 to 30 seats depending on configuration; their bar next door for desert is more pleasant. they try for 2 seatings a night. good and very expensive wine list as expected. $1,200 for two included a nice bottle of burgundy. food must be prepaid, no cancellations.....can't blame them. 19 courses including 5-6 tiny deserts. adequate volume but few would leave "stuffed". no meat. we found almost all the courses interesting, many tasty, a few outstanding. excellent , friendly, busy team service. having been to over 40 michelin 3 stars around the world, this one is most unusual....up[or down] there with le petit nice in marseilles where all the courses have included seaweed. we had a good time and if you have a fat wallet, give it a try. we are one and done.
Be the first to ReplyAn artistic presentation that intellectually challenged ones' sensory understanding of food
The dinner was an artistic presentation that intellectually challenged ones' sensory understanding of food. Chef Crenn's techniques decomposed common ingredients and then reconstituted them artistically to create new flavors and texture. The food was extremely delicate and required a lot of concentration to appreciate. The meal reminded me of the wholesome California spirit of Chez Panisse in the 1970's, the sophistication and precision of Jamin in the 1980's, and the creativeness of Ferran Adria in the 2000's. A thoroughly enjoyable dinner. For wine, we had a 4 year old Corton Charlemagne from a vintage that is early maturing. The wine tased like butter scotch in the first 45 minutes, evolved to pineapple cream in the next 45 minutes, but then shut down for the remaining meal. Perhaps it needed 5 or 10 more years of aging.

An absolutely amazing meal. Both the presentation and the food were exceptional and the service was wonderful - so beautifully choreographed. It's a tasting menu and yes, the bite sizes are small, but we did not leave hungry - nor were we stuffed - it really was the right amount of food spread out over 2 hours. It's a very small space with just eight tables, which explains why it's so hard to get a reservation. We didn't do the wine pairings instead opting to have full bottles of wine. The wine prices however, we more than a little exhobanant but the wines were delicious. An incredible experience and would recommend for anyone who appreciates food as an art.
Be the first to ReplyDissapointing
Creative, elaborately presented courses. Some tasty, some muted. But at the end of the meal we were still hungry. Portions ridiculously small. Needed extra bread after bread course. Dinner is an elaborate show with a bevy of servers, somewhat disorienting. One server per table preferable. Coordinated wine flights excellent. But amazingly, we were charged for coffee. I wanted to support Chef Crenn, and glad to have had the experience but will not repeat. And, such a hassle to get bookings.
Be the first to ReplyA Poem Transformed into Dining excellence!
Poetic menu created to inspire your senses. The pre fix menu is built as a poem by Chef Crenn and her team to create an experience worthy of a trip to San Francisco. An extensive wine list will complement any pallet. Your night will conclude at Bar Crenn were Chef Juan will captivate you with a creative series of desserts which you can pair with your choice of tea or dessert wines. The kitchen tour is a nice way to end your dinner.
Be the first to ReplyHard to reserve, wonderful service, beautiful food, loud.
Atelier Crenn After trying at least 3 different times, including a wait list, wife and I obtained a reservation for a midweek evening. The restaurant accepts only pre-paid ($410 per person with add-ons for chef’s tasting menu, no other choice. Service included.) reservations with wine, supplements, etc. paid at end of meal. From the outset, the staff (perhaps as many as patrons) were welcoming, warm, and always attentive. The layout is supposed to resemble at atelier with a central open space, some paintings, and a number of nooks, with framed poems on walls. There was also a sheet of poem on each table, a pretty long poem that took a while to read if you were so inclined. The atmosphere was somewhat dignified and conducive until more patrons arrived and all talked and laughed loudly – then it became quite loud which was annoying for us sedate diners. The 14+ course dinner (without wine pairing, but with a glass of champagne each, a half bottle of white wine, and a supplemental caviar course) was overall delicious including some unexpected delights, like the first course – an icy cold ball that burst in the mouth. For a Pescatarian restaurant, however, we were much of the time unable to taste the pesces in the food. Each dish was visually attractive, artfully prepared, intricately constructed (or deconstructed), many to be eaten in one bite. The teeny bites, however, were largely, very tasty. There were several dishes, e.g. the deconstructed onion soup, black cod, that were identifiable, not teeny, and excellent. The “moving feast” involved our moving, after the main course, to the Bar Crenn next door for the dessert and after dinner drinks following a brief tour through the kitchens. Bar Crenn had the look of a 1920’s comfortable bar. Overall, this atelier presents visually beautiful petite dishes, with very good to excellent taste and outstanding attentive service. The final bill came to $1,200 of which $820 was prepaid at reservation. Dining in this exclusive 3 starred Michelin restaurant, with its memorable service, savoring the artful yet uneven palate pleasers, was an experience!
Be the first to ReplyReally amazing and unusual experience!
Not that Atelier Crenn needs any more reviews, but this is a very unique dining experience. We booked months in advance, and we weren't disappointed. The entire evening was a story told in 18 chapters of awe-inspiring dishes. We celebrated out daughter's 21st birthday there, and they made it fun. It is an incredibly sensory experience while you are waited on lavishly by the entire team. Some of the reviews here say it's expensive. Yes, it is. It's a Michelin 3-star restaurant. Don't go if it doesn't fit your budget. But you will never have a dining experience like this. Watch the Netflix Chef's Table episode on Dominique Crenn before you go. If you can get in here, you won't be disappointed.
Be the first to ReplySo disappointing and WE found a hair in our food!
I was visiting friends for a week of gastronomy delights and we were told to try this restaurant, but we were so disappointed! Although the food was presented beautifully, there was nothing extraordinary or memorable about and not one of us enjoyed any dish on the tasting menu. We also upgraded and added truffles to some of our dishes and even that didn't uplift the flavour. In addition, we added the wine pairing for an extra $250 per person and only 1 of the wines they paired, were enjoyable for us. What was worse was my friend found a hair on her plate with the second dish and while they did apologise, no compensation of a glass of wine was offered. They didn't even appear embarrassed! If you are paying $395 per person and in a 3 Michelin star restaurant, you do not expect to find a hair in your food! Yes, mistakes happen but the restaurant did not even care or make up for it with a proper apology or a gesture of compensation, by a drink or something! Although the staff were friendly, service was also slow. The atmosphere was also lacking and very pretentious. I can no stand places that give the feeling that their establishment is better than their patrons and their reaction to the hair on the plate compounded it! We were so disappointed. Two days later, we found ourselves in Napa and at the French Laundry, which was absolutely amazing and restored my faith in what a real, 3 Michelin star restaurant is all about! Skip it and save your money.

I’ve dined all over the world and at dozens of Michelin-starred restaurants and Atelier Crenn is easily one of my top 5 dining-foodie experiences ever! The chefs’ and staff’s passion for excellence is abundantly obvious from the amuse bouche through the last bite of chocolate. I was a bit leery of on a non-meat dinner service but was blown away by the creative, innovative, fresh and extremely tasty fish and vegetable dishes. I highly recommend you request the wine pairing with the dinner since the synergy between them elevated both. The dishes were artfully presented by a courteous and professional staff who took pride in their work and the food prepared for us. It was a pleasure to meet the executive chef, sous chefs, and pastry chef when we transitioned from the dinner service at Atelier Crenn to the dessert service at Bar Crenn. It is easy to see why Dominique Crenn’s restaurant in the Cow Hollow district of San Francisco is a 3* Michelin Restaurant and consistently rated in the top 50 restaurants of the world…PERFECTION!!!! If you’re a foodie this restaurant should be at the top of your must do bucket list!

Hands down one of the best dining experiences that I have ever had. Many thanx to Chef Crenn for stopping by our table and making us feel so welcome and also to Alex and Ernesto for taking such good care of us. The food was sublime and I'm still thinking about which course was my favorite. After 14 courses, my mind was blown and it will be hard to stop talking about this dinner. So worth the investment.
Be the first to ReplyPeak dining experience
Our party of 4 had a phenomenal dining experience at Atelier Crenn. The chef and her staff totally understand all elements of restaurant hospitality, starting with the delicious and innovative menu, but extending to the ambiance and professional but incredibly friendly service. We selected the “movable feast” tasting menu experience and, after consultation with the Sommelier, the wine pairing (I note that the wine pairing was not at all “pushed”). Every course was beautiful and delicious. We have had the privilege to dine at what are considered some of the best restaurants in the world and Atelier Crenn is right up there with them.
Be the first to ReplyRenewed my love for French cuisine
It’s simply a must visit, especially if you love seafood. The food was exquisite, the presentation was artful, and the service was flawless. What more can I say? I’ve been to dozens of Michelin-starred and World’s 50 Best restaurants and Atelier Crenn is way up there with the best of the best.
Be the first to ReplyEveryone should dine here at least once in their lifetime.
Beautiful restaurant with only eight black walnut dining tables where table-side presentations appealed to my visual needs and the food tantalized my mouth and soothed my grumbling belly. I love that this place caters to all senses; hot, cold, sweet, salt, savory, sour. Wine pairing was spot on. Service was impeccable. Loved the brioche bread, so yummy! The “orange” dessert was a welcome surprise.
Be the first to ReplyDefinitely One of the World's Top 50
Growing up a meat eater in Texas doesn't prepare one for Atelier Crenn but Creen does make you happy you escaped the state for a healthier life in California! From the very beginning of this experience the existential philosophy of ethical hedonism sustainability is stamped upon your forehead. While the food is definitely fine art it is also belly friendly and the portion sizes are most definitely perfectly sized for long evening. Some other fine dining locations should take note. At the close of the meal is the dessert courses which are nothing short of pure genius! We were laughing at the table over the audacity of the creative team in the kitchen! Our only critique of the evening would be the disappointment in the wine pairings especially as most of them had a heavy carbon footprint and were out of step with the local sustainability so well executed on the menu. While there were some of the top Napa and Sonoma names on the greater wine list there was a decidedly lack of incorporation of these great local wines into the sustainable presentations. An organic producer from Europe just doesn't meet the sustainability ethos. When I return we will pay corkage or order some great local wines! The abalone was ridiculous and made me remember the day I met George Moscone and had abalone at the
Waterfront. Just a great day to remember! Finally and most importantly the wait staff was impeccable! But remember to bring your wallet as this joint isn't cheap!
Best dinner in San Francisco.
Best dinner in San Francisco. The service was awesome. They have take covid serious and keep everyone safe.
Each course was delicious and well prepared.
I went home hungry, disappointed and angry
After trying to support our local restaurants and eating at French Laundry and Nobu Malibu among other top restaurants, we just finished our $1700 meal at Atelier Crenn. I am so hungry, frustrated and angry- it is impossible to put into words. We had a few courses of amusement bouche and suddenly realized our meal was over. What an epic let down. We are asking our driver to stop at in-n out on the way home. Go to French laundry or Manresa if you want the real thing - stay away from this pretentious wannabe!!
Be the first to ReplyNot only was my mouth and stomach singing, my brain too!
We came for our wedding anniversary. My husband had made the reservations a month before. We went for the early seating. From the street, the location appeared pretty nondescript. We even walked passed it and had to double back. Upon entering, we were graciously received by staff and escorted to our table. The interior had a lot of wood, muted colors, with small area rugs that separated diners into their space. There was poetry on the walls, which we were told, were written by Chef Crenn. There were little paintings that are the work of her father. The entire place is a tribute to him.
Our servers were all gracious and informative. It was not so easy to hear them because of the noise coming from the kitchen. Our evening was punctuated by several people somewhere deep in the kitchen (I did not peek) saying or chanting something in unison, almost like a declaration of teamwork or something. It was a little jarring after a while. We had to keep asking our servers to repeat their explanations. And it made the dining area noisy with the sounds bouncing. I had a hard time hearing the music, although, once, when it was quiet for a few minutes, I heard David Bowie singing. How apropos!
Our food was served with so much aesthetic sense and beauty, I had to pause with each course just to admire them. Some courses were put together in front of us. Each dish did not just have this exquisite complexity that played out in our mouths. The unique umami each delivered was either a welcome assault or an insidious flood of flavor followed by a lingering aftertaste that truly satisfied. The dish with the coarsely ground pumpkin seeds brought back childhood memories of when I went with my parents to my mother's home town. I had not thought about that in decades!
I had so many favorites: the dish that looked like a rose. The abalone. The snow made of creme fraiche (I think) that topped seafood delight, that melted the minute I put it in my mouth. The slow cooked eggyolk with all layers piled on top of it. They had this walnut baguette that had such a balanced taste, texture, and flavor, I would have wanted more, but I knew better than to ask. There was still so much in store to come. My husband is lactose intolerant but was willing to have a little dairy only. They substituted ingredients so beautifully that the same dish was just was stellar.
The service was gracious, not overbearing or intrusive. The team worked like members of a dance ensemble. My husband told me that every time I came out of the bathroom, one of the staff came to check it. The customer team was precise and meticulous with their attention to detail.
There are some restaurants with such high Michelin ratings I have been to where I said that once was good and enough. But this one, I'd go back in a heartbeat!
All about the food
I gave the restaurant and excellent rating because the food was so overwhelmingly well prepared, spectacularly delicious, flawless I presentation and proportion, however I was less impressed with the service which felt theatrical during parts of the meal, a distraction to the food, too much talk around Chef Crenn’s background while growing up in Normandy, and dizzying levels of waitstaff circulation in the dining room. That said, if you are a foodie, it is definitely worth a try, if only once. Been there, loved the food, will unlikely repeat a visit for reasons noted above.
