1760 always seemed busy and trendy, so we decided to give it a try. We had a reservation for two at 9pm on a Friday via OpenTable. We ordered a number of the recommended items — 1760 and Fig Strawberry, both were delicious cocktails, though I’d say they were pricey at $ 14 each. For food, we ordered several of the recommended items — the lobster bisque, SRF beef tartare, and Corn-Coconut Ravioli.(Skipped on the duck sandwich since we didn’t want anything too oily). We actually misread lobster bisque for the famous lobster ceviche, which is no longer on the menu. The lobster bisque was a soup that went down in 1 – 2 gulps, for a whopping $ 6 each. It was delicious, though the portion size was disappointing. The beef tartare was more like a salad, which was interesting and well paired with herbs, though again, was a small portion size(priced at $ 16). The ravioli was very good, though I’ve always been a fan of Thai curry. Unfortunately this dish was again a very small portion size(priced at $ 18). We decided to order another main since we were still hungry, the Paccheri(octopus) which was surprisingly in a pasta format. This dish was actually a decent portion size, but unfortunately the tomato paste sauce overpowered the octopus(it was priced at $ 23). We did get a free dessert since we were celebrating a birthday(the Intermezzo sorbet), which was a nice gesture. The service was very good overall and the décor creates a more casual vibe. It’s a great hangout spot, but we probably won’t be coming back anytime soon since nothing particularly stood out, though I did really enjoy the corn-coconut ravioli.

Been here a couple times and recently celebrated my birthday here. Some highlights: corn and coconut ravioli, octopus, and Brussels sprouts! Definitely love the energy and aesthetics of this place. Would recommend for a last min dinner decisions as reservations on open table are usually fairly easy to snag! Will be back!

I was so sure I wrote a review already for 1760 but turns out I had just saved it instead of posting it *Insert rolling eyes emoji* Must order: shishito peppers(I order this at all restaurants I go to) mushroom tempura(wasn’t heavy at all, a very light batter) fingerling potatoes(i always opt out the peanuts though) cavatelli rosemary focaccia for all my fellow carb lovers fried duck sandwich(recommended by few of my very carnivorous friends) corn coconut ravioli(not sweet at all!) Next time I’m in the city I will have to try out their brunch.

1760 has some good food items. However, the owners now add an illegal SF Health tax to the checks. There is no mention or documentation of this Health Tax prior to the arrival of the check. I understand that the owner may not like paying for the health of his employees, but extracting additional money under the guise of a tax is illegal. The employee stated that others restaurants include it in taxes on the check(again illegal). I asked the server to remove the charge. He refused, and said it could not be done. I asked to see the owner, and was told he was not on the premises. My strong recommendation to the owner is «Pay your Taxes».

Feed me. Are usually the words that come out of my mouth right after a short, but strenuous work out at Core40. As I get older, I realize that I have to put in more work to maintain the figure. Damn you Unilocal! My fellow Unilocaler in crime, Cat C., made rezzies for brunch even though it wasn’t necessary(dinner is another story) because we don’t like waiting.(part of the getting older thing) 1760 is a wonderful brunch addition to the Polk st. scene since this stretch is severely lacking exciting brunch options. The french toast must’ve spent some time soaking in vanilla and Cointreau since it was robustly flavorful. I loved that it was light, yet substantial. Berries topped the thick brioche and added a natural sweetness to the dish. My rock shrimp with polenta was TODIEFOR. Simply prepared with hoisin and lime, the flavors really come together and the crunchy soft chicharonnes was a dead giveaway that there’s a Filipino chef in the house. Holla, kababayan! =) My only complaint is it’s too darn pricey for a very small portion. If you happen to visit in the evening even just for drinks, cocktails are on point. I’ve tried their Basil Mezcal sour(kaffir lime, egg white, mezcal) and The 1760(mint, cumin, mezcal, tonic, gin) and I love that they aren’t afraid to use a lot of spices in their creations. Cardamom, cumin, garam masala are a common sight on the list, so don’t hesitate to order a flavor profile mix that you’ve never tried before, it’ll be a unique experience. 1760 is a casual dining destination in the Russian Hill neighborhood that’s filled with locals. Quieter at brunch, but more exciting for drinks and dinner. Either way, it sure is a winner.

Loved this place for dinner, and loved this place brunch, and loved this place for not as ridiculously crowded as Nopa(2 places are pretty similar in many ways!). We got 3 things to share for brunch: mushroom tempura, black eyed jack with quail eggs, and crab roe congee. Also got 2 cocktails, one was with absinthe that’s so creamy and nice, the other was the 1760 with mezcal, yum! The mushroom tempura was fried to perfection, great flavor a and textures with the creamy grits. The quail toasted was fun and tasty and not too heavy. The congee had great consistency, creamy and flavorful. Love he poached egg in the middle. Didn’t love the flavor a of tomato, doesn’t go well with the subtle crab flavor. 1760 also served some amazing dishes for dinner, the lobster ceviche was to die for, and the ribs were great.

Always wanted to check out 1760. My now hubby and I had a failed attempt a couple years ago when we tried to go for drinks after seeing how busy Amelie was, yet, 1760 was just as busy. Janice C. and I made plans to work out a few blocks down and then catch up over brunch. Not liking nearby Mymy & Olea so much, I suggested 1760, and she agreed. I made rezzies in case, and we got there towards the end of brunch, so it was pretty cleared out around 2. I ordered the brioche french toast and she got the rock shrimp polenta. The brioche french toast had hints of vanilla, Cointreau and berries($ 12) It was two pieces of brioche and was nice and airy. It wasn’t overly sweet and I loved the very faint hint of Cointreau and the sweet berries. Definitely a winner and one of the better french toast dishes I’ve had. Her rock shrimp polenta($ 18) was notably on the smaller side with some rock shrimp, chicharrones, and shiitake mushrooms. The polenta was nice and smooth, and the chicharrones were a nice touch. But for $ 18 the portion should have been a little larger. Service was friendly, the ambiance was nice and the brunch was pleasing though we weren’t stuffed. I definitely would like to come back for their dinner some time.

Came here on a Wednesday night, and it was not difficult to get a walk in table for 4. We did come a little bit early, around 6:30. I like the atmosphere of the place, wide open and modern, yet classy. 1760 serves there dishes pretty much Tapas style, with the menu of small plates ordered from light to rich. Highlights: Sashito pepppers — You really can’t mess up to bad as they have a lot of sweet peppery flavor on their own. It was seasoned will and quite tasty. munched on most of the plate on my own. Beef Tartare — I actually like this dish a lot. The beef was super fresh and had a really clean beefy taste. Brussel Sprouts — Another delicious plate that utilizes the flavor of its main vegetable perfectly. There was creamy sauce drizzeled over it that tasted amazing. Pumpkin Ravioli — I wasn’t expecting too much out of this one, but it turned out to be quited delicious. The sweetness of the pumpkin was really highlighted here and the ravioli had a good chew consistency. Low Lights: Sisig — hmmm, this just didn’t belong. It sounded good on the menu, but wasn’t well executed. I felt the pork itself didn’t have too much flavor, and the sauces and toppings took more away from the flavor itself. Crab Oil Congee — Hmm, this didn’t even feel like Congee, more like grits… was hoping for something a bit more soupy. Duck Burger — The biggest complaint here was that the Duck was grounded beyond recognition, then fried dried. Even with it being highly processed, it still tasted gamey. Service was good, we were able to consistently keep the drinks coming. We had a lot of drinks, and here is where it gets prices. Specialty drinks start at $ 14, which is more than most of the specialty bars in the city. Not really worth it to drink at dinner, when you can drink after on Polk street for much less. Overall the food was good but pricey, and the menu is a bit mashed up but offers a wide range of choices.

Neighborhood gem! Great for after work drinks or date night, but definitely on the pricey side. Menu changes but some highlights from when I visited — include: Duck burger — Coleslaw was so good! Portion was surprisingly big Ceviche — So fresh. Great if you like piña colada flavors Ribs — SOGOOD

1760… doesn’t belong in 2015. First of all, skip the duck burger. It’s really not that great. The patty is not sliced duck breast. It’s mushed up duck meat of some sort. Almost like a mushy chicken salad, minus the mayonnaise. The drinks were okay, nothing to rave about. The best thing about this place was the waiter. He was attentive and funny!

Been here for lunch and dinner and I would highly recommend the place for brunch. Its not going to be one of those places where you’re waiting for hours at end to get seated. Recommend getting the Kim Chi Fried rice, the fingerling potatoes, and the seafood sandwich.

3.5 for 1760 Our meal at 1760 did not live up to the hype, but the overall experience was very good. My mother and I came here for a ladies night, and I was very excited to order all of the items that friends had recommended. The cocktail list was very impressive and we both really enjoyed our drinks. We ordered the squash blossom tempura, which was fantastic. It’s hard to find squash blossoms on menus, so I always order them when I can. I’m not sure what they made the foam out of, but it was overpowering and left a bitter unpleasant taste in my mouth. The lobster ceviche(which everyone said was a must), was the most disappointing. The coconut sauce was yummy but didn’t pair well with the lobster. The lobster ceviche itself seemed to have a lot in it besides lobster, which was a bit of a bummer. The crispy octopus was good, but a tad too burnt-tasting. The star dish of the night was definitely the cavatelli; the pasta was clearly made in-house and the mushrooms added such a rich, delicious flavor. The vibe in the restaurant was pretty good. It was definitely louder than expected, seeing how close all of the tables were to each other. Our server was on the cold side, overall a fun time. I do think that if I had gone in blind(so to speak), I would have enjoyed the food more, but it’s been so hyped up, I expected everything to blow my mind.

FANTASTIC. Drinks…amazing, fresh, hyper seasonal. The creativity in this place is what brings me back. Shisito Peppers — yes Beef Tartare — yes Corn Coconut Ravioli — YES Bread — yes Haven’t had anything to drink that was bad, mediocre, or boring ever here. All drinks are a total win.

I got the gilt city brunch special for two. We got the beignets, the rock shrimp polenta, the French toast and maple bacon. The beignets were pretty good, although I think they out too much sugar on them. The rock shrimp polenta is a pretty small entrée and I thought the shrimp didn’t taste all that fresh and was over seasoned. I was pretty disappointed with the place and now I’m not sure if I would come here for dinner.

This has to be one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Awesome food, excellent service, and extremely easy to get reservations. I hate how now I have to plan months in advanced if I want to eat somewhere good, with 1760 I made a reservation just a couple days in advanced. Score. It’s recommend each person order 2 – 3 plates and share. Now the food: — Caviar w/Uni and Scallop tartare — Everything amazing served in one bite. The moment you put the spoon in your mouth, you get the bold flavors of uni and everything just melts in your mouth. A must order and a great way to start the meal. — Lobster Ceviche — The coconut cream served on the side was genius. I thought the lobster ceviche was a bit on the salty side, but the coconut helped balance out the saltiness and tanginess of the dish. — Corn-Coconut Ravioli — OMG. SO. GOOD. The corn in the ravioli was rich and full of flavor and paired perfectly with the thick coconut curry sauce. — Grilled Pork Ribs — These succulent ribs are doused in Hoisin sauce. They are nice and crispy with the perfect amount of sweetness. Be prepared to walk away with some dirty fingers. — Fried Duck Sandwich — I can’t remember the details of the sandwich, but I do remember it was excellent. — Coconut cake w/ube ice cream white chocolate and hazelnut — Anytime I see ube ice cream, I’m going to order it. There were so many strong flavors in this dish and it all worked together perfectly. For two people the bill came out to be around $ 180(including $ 30 corkage fee) and we walked away super stuffed. It’s a great place for a date or to come with a group of friends. Will definitely be back.

Probably my favorite spot that I’ve eaten at in SF. Not only a fantastic ambiance, but the food is all top notch. This is one of those places where you go with a few friends and order literally one of everything on the menu. It’s all for sharing, and if you don’t try everything you’re missing out. I literally wouldn’t be able to tell you what my favorite item is as they’re all equally mouthwatering. The cocktails are also exceptional. Try the 1760.

I’ve always wanted to try this place! Love the setting and décor of 1760. I was greeted by the host right away as they sat us down for our reservations. They offered a complimentary snack which was a small crostini with some cheese and fruit on top. I would recommend doing family style, it’s mostly small plates and it’s great to share and try everything. I noticed a lot of people ordered the Fried Duck Sandwich. It seems pretty popular, so definitely I will try that next time. I must say, most of the dishes I ordered were on point except for two. The octopus dish was overcooked and the pork belly was a little under cooked. We did mentioned it to the waiter as he gave us a complimentary dish and it was really good!!! It was a string bean type of dish called«Haricots Verts — yuba, lime, and fish sauce.» I definitely recommend this dish. Other dishes I ordered: — Lobster Ceviche: caramelized coconut. pineapple. kaffir lime(SOGOOD) — Corn-Coconut Ravioli: lemongrass. pimentón. cilantro(one of my favorites) — Flatbread. burrata: Thai sausage. romano beans. shiitake mushrooms — Crispy Octopus — carrot-tamarind. cauliflower. chicken skin(overcooked) — Pork Belly — heirloom tomato. Chinese broccoli. mustard-sesame emulsion(undercooked)

During my Saturn day stroll(er, urban hike? — of which I’m still nursing sore calves) in my neighborhood, we stumbled upon 1760 — I should have been here two years ago, but a idiotic individual temporarily squandered my time and attention and hence, my late arrival. My apologies, sweet 1760. Now, I’m stuck with a stalker, but at least I could get to you in the end. We didn’t have a reservation, so we were offered bar seating, which is a looooonnnng plank of wood and you can still receive the menu, or with options of drinks only, of course. We were just in time for brunch, and enjoyed sharing the Cardamom Beignets, with a side of Mexican chocolate and a hint of basil mixed in for a sweet and savory palette collision, Maple Bacon(which requires a knife and fork) and Brioche French Toast with Fresh Berries. Plates are much smaller in person — think a bigger Happy Hour — and you’ll most definitely need to order multiple per person in order to satiate and properly nourish, and naturally being San Francisco this, too, shall cost. Come prepared. Parting note: I love their A/C. It was 87° F *inside* my apartment(with windows open and three fans going) on the day we were here.

IMPORTANT: 1. If you are hungry– don’t come here. 2. This isn’t a $$$ place. Food might be between $ 20-$ 40/plate but when you are paying $ 20-$ 40 for a pathetic dish containing 4 tiny things that is definitely not in the $$$ range. 3. If you NEED to come here– order the duck sandwich. It is the biggest and most filling and then you won’t have to waste your time with all the other poor excuses for dishes. 4. Service is okay– When we arrived we got this little dish of fancy chips and guacamole«on the house». The chips were: TWO chips– one for my bf and one for me. And the«chips» were the size of my finger nails. 1760, keep your chips!
