Abacá

I’m writing about my experience with this establishment at Outside Lands 2026. This establishment was the first thing I was excited to try out of all of them, being a Filipino myself. Of course me and the person I was with wanted to try a little bit of everything. I had ordered my food and thought I had also mentioned the sisig fried rice. But I guess the gentleman at the register didn’t hear me. I asked twice, if the total was for both and he said yes. And then when only my food came out he told me he didn’t understand what I was saying and sent my boyfriend to the back of the line to order again. Then we both get our food and we have a very decent amount in our hands so we asked for a napkin and they only handed us 1 piece. We asked for a little more and they only handed us one more and said that’s it quite rudely. So we go back to eat our food that we were excited for and my sandwich is 90% cilantro. Barely any chicken but that’s fine cus it was rubbery anyway. I couldn’t believe that with the pricing and even just the opportunity for a Filipino food restaurant to represent at a big festival like this, I’d have this experience. It was so disappointing.

10/10 tasting menu, literally, all ten bites were perfect. There were many standout dishes but our favorite thing was how every dish had a balanced and unique texture profile. The service was incredible, we had Phi and he was so knowledgeable and walked us through each course and pairing! Thoroughly enjoyed a date night there. Only thing we would recommend is sitting inside if you can, the noise from the street can be a little bothersome but otherwise lovely outside too. They also had heaters and blankets when it got chilly!

I’m really happy to see an upscale Filipino cuisine experience like Abacá. The ambiance is elegant and welcoming, and the presentation of each dish is beautifully done—it truly elevates Filipino food to another level. Every plate feels thoughtfully crafted and refined while still honoring the flavors I love. It was also such a pleasure meeting Chef Francis—his passion and creativity really shine through in the food. Looking forward to coming back and trying more!

Had my birthday dinner here last night. Wow 10/10! The space is beautiful, light and airy, sophisticated, but not pretentious. All of the staff were amazing, very personable, friendly, kind and professional. We did the family style meal and it's worth every penny. I see why they won a Michelin Star last year! Every dish was outstanding and their wine pairings were spot on. They are able to accommodate to dietary allergies and you don't feel like you're missing out on anything. Our favorite dishes were the stuff quail and the crispy lamb ribs with consommé. This was such a special dinner and the staff ever signed a card wishing me happy birthday! So sweet! My new favorite restaurant in the city!

We went to this restaurant on a recommendation from our hotel, and it did not disappoint. We were seated right away, and our server was incredibly attentive, patiently explaining most of the dishes to my kids. Every plate was delicious—we enjoyed every bite. The desserts truly blew our palate away. Definitely one of the best dinners we had in San Francisco.
