Greens To Go: Discover Delicious Vegan and Gluten-Free Options in San Francisco

Thankful to Greens for making my mom’s birthday special. We were originally at Radhaus next door, an establishment always noisy, impersonal, and hostile. We thought, let’s see if Greens has a table, and sure enough they were able to squeeze in our party of 6. We were treated to a beautiful sunset in the dining room. The quality of the lighting, wood features, spotless windows, and acoustics in the dining room contributed to a meal that was utterly remarkable. For the food, we savored the depth of flavors on the butternut squash pizza and grilled polenta. The spring rolls were the weakest of the dishes. The hosts were so kind to us and showed genuine interest in seating us. The service was nothing short of professional. Greens is a true San Francisco gem.

Had brunch at Greens Restaurant and it was absolutely wonderful. Everything we tried was delicious. The pinnacle scramble was incredibly soft and flavorful, perfectly cooked. The potato cakes were crispy and comforting, and the biscuits were just amazing , warm, buttery, and hard to stop eating. The service was also on point, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The whole experience felt relaxed and special.

Wow — what a treat for vegetarians! The food here is both delicious and wonderfully unique, with quick service and a warm, inviting ambience. Highly recommend: Fresh Pasta: Incredibly simple yet bursting with flavor — you can truly taste the freshness. I couldn’t stop eating it! Khaman Dhokla: A rare and delightful surprise on the menu. Most places serve mediocre versions of this Gujarati favorite, but this one instantly reminded me of my mom’s cooking. I loved the creative twist with roasted vegetables (though I’d have preferred something lighter than eggplant). Hats off to the chef! Just okay: Green Corn Soup: Appetizing but not particularly memorable in presentation or taste. Black Sesame Mousse: Great concept and nostalgic, reminiscent of sesame laddus back home, but lacked the distinctiveness you’d expect from a standout dessert. Overall, this restaurant is a shining example of how good vegetarian food can be — I’m so glad I had the chance to dine here!

The space is great with views of the GGB. Our server was excellent & helped us navigate the menu. There were many vegan & gluten free options to choose from. Our favorite was the Falafel Platter with seed bread. We also ordered some sides and the ramen. Unfortunately, the flavors were bland and underwhelming. Unsure if this is due to our vegan and gluten free restrictions, so the standard dishes might be better.

Came here as a large group of 12 people as part of a family celebbration. It was crowded at 7pm which was expected for a Friday evening. While it took awhile for the staff to focus on our group and get all of our orders, the food was really good and made up for the slower service response. Overall I would say they did a reasonable job for Friday night traffic and we enjoyed the vegetarian food and flavours!

This is a fantastic spot for a birthday, anniversary, or any special occasion. It’s a vegetarian restaurant. reservations are definitely recommended. Located right next to Fort Mason, it has a beautiful setting, and if you get a table near the window, you’ll enjoy a gorgeous view of the bay. The menu changes with the seasons, and I’ve tried many different dishes here. Highly recommend, it’s one of my go-to places for celebrations!

The food was good but at that price point, I would expect something exceptional or nice plating etc. You could say you’re paying for the atmosphere but while the views were great, the atmosphere/decor inside feels incredibly dated. 24 dollars for a tofu scramble is not something I’d pay here again. The 6 dollar corn bread is definitely something I’d get again. We also got a bahn mi and soft grits. We were seated quickly though and the service was great. Food came fast. I’d say if you’re looking for a nice vegan/vegetarian experience, there are better options. And if you’re looking for something more casual, this would be better suited however the price point doesn’t match the experience.

My partner Ken and I visited Greens Restaurant in San Francisco on the last night of our honeymoon, and it could not have been more special. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfect for a celebratory evening. Our server Ron, a 20-year veteran of Greens, made the night unforgettable. He surprised us with champagne, gave us the best view in the house at Table 2, offered thoughtful menu guidance, and even joined us for a quick photo. The food was fresh, flavorful, and wonderfully light. The cauliflower soup was especially memorable, incredibly smooth despite having no dairy. We appreciated how satisfying everything was, especially before catching a red-eye flight. Huge thanks to our local friend Wilder for recommending we try Greens. We are so glad we were able to get a last-minute Sunday reservation and experience this San Francisco gem.
