    TLDR: Great place to hang out if for drinks post dinner in heights. We found Dorian after dinner to hang out and have drinks and chill. This was such a wonderful place with music just loud enough for a good time while being able to chat. The cocktails were good and had a great variety for everyone's taste.

    This is a very hip restaurant with good food and excellent service. We had the Caesar salad, oysters, burger and sea bass. Everything was excellent except for the sea bass which was way over cooked and dry. Since the restaurant is located in a good area and the service was spectacular, I will return with the girls for brunch or happy hour.

    Wanted to give this place a try before they close at the end of October. They're definitely not coasting towards closure - the food was exceptional. I had the arancini, the cucumber and feta salad, and the tomato gnocchi. The service was friendly (and fashionable) and the vibe was super fun and poppin'. Everything tasted incredibly fresh with good quality ingredients. The arancini and salad were both delicious. The sauce for the gnocchi was on the spicy side - more an arrabiata than a marinara - but the portion was large and it was still well made - just a little spicy for me. I also had a mocktail called a Refresh - ginger beer, lemon, turmeric. It was very easy to drink (not too sharp/burnt like some ginger beer can be) All in all I'm glad I got a chance to eat here. I'm sorry it's closing but I wish the owners and staff the best of luck in their next endeavors.

    The Dorian in SF is a brunch lover's paradise. Their brunch dishes are a delight, offering a range of flavorful options. The classy aesthetic vibes add to the overall ambiance, creating a stylish setting for your meal. And the cocktails are top-notch, perfectly complementing the menu. However, it's worth noting that the service wasn't as friendly as one might hope for. Despite this, The Dorian remains a fantastic choice for those seeking a sophisticated brunch experience in the city. Please try their espresso martini, shakshuka and french toast!
