The entire culinary staff is incredibly knowledgeable about the restaurant's history and each of the courses. Marc was especially fun to chat with, and we enjoyed his walkthrough of Chef Claude's cheese selection. The dessert selection was a perfect capstone!

My wife and I went here for our anniversary and it was such a unique and special dinner. The atmosphere is top noche and the food is definitely out of this world. And the service is amazing. The entire service team work so well together that the whole team is like a well choreographed act. Little details such as having all the course arrive at the same time and precisely hit the table at the exact same moment is just impeccable. We even get a little tour of the kitchen. It's no doubt that they are pricy, but it's and experience that we will never forget and would continue to talk about it with our friends and families for years to come.

Fun fact: The term “hospitality” derives from the Latin hospes, meaning both ‘host’ and ‘guest.’ In ancient times, hosts welcomed guests as family, while guests were expected to respect their host. Thus, true hospitality meant embodying both roles with grace. That’s exactly the warmth we experienced at O' by Claude Le Tohic. We had the honor of marking our 19th anniversary at this remarkable restaurant. The cuisine was nothing short of extraordinary. The wagyu, so delicate it seemed to dissolve on the tongue, was a triumph of flavor and texture. The abalone, cooked with flawless precision, ranked among the finest we’ve ever tasted, while the langoustine shone with vibrant freshness and depth. A standout was the lavish serving of caviar, elevating each bite into a decadent indulgence. The staff’s seamless coordination was a marvel to witness. Every dish arrived in perfect sync, with the team’s subtle glances and silent communication adding a layer of artistry to the service. The desserts were almost too stunning to choose from, each one a masterpiece of craftsmanship. Deciding on just one was a testament to their visual and culinary allure. My heartfelt thanks go to Chef Claude for his dedication to San Francisco’s dining scene and for assembling such an exceptional team. Every element of the O' experience—from the spotless kitchen to the meticulous care in every detail—reflects a deep passion for excellence. The love for cuisine and commitment to hospitality shine through in every aspect of this restaurant.
