B44

In town for a conference and wanted some wine and tapas. B44 truly hit the spot!!! Excellent bites and some great wine choices. We really enjoyed the environment and our server was top notch, she made great recommendations and kept our glasses full. B44 is high on my list of must visit places when I'm in town.

We had a wonderful evening at this bistro. The service was very friendly and it had a fun and funky ambiance. I lived in Spain for a few years and love good tapas. B44 did not disappoint. We shared a salad along with sizzling gambas ajillo and patatas bravas. They served bread to dip into the hot shrimp and garlic oil. I had the crema Catlana for dessert, and it was the best I have ever had. The caramelized sugar crust and creamy custard had just a hint of orange.

Was a lovely dinner in an interestingly decorated place that is dual identity. Catalan/Spanish food and French food. The desserts are all in the French menu. It was an interesting experience to be in a dual cuisine (not fusion, thank goodness) restaurant. Wines were mostly from Spain or France (also a good thing bc you get less headaches than American wine) and the tempranillo paired perfectly with the paella B44.

My friend and I were walking through Belden place looking for a place for dinner and decided to try this spot out. The restaurant itself is nice, the inside is very open and has an urban vibe to it. The staff here are very hospitable and attentive. We ended up getting the French onion soup and mushroom pasta. The soup was good but the pasta was ehhhh, it tasted plain and the sauce was cold.

My family joined me for my retirement dinner at 6pm on a Monday evening. The atmosphere was relaxed and we had no trouble hearing each other in conversation. The six of us shared 5 different tapas dishes and two salads from the Spanish side of the menu for starters. We each selected our own main dish from the French side of the menu, and we finished by sharing several plates of three different desserts. I had some or all of 11 different plates. Everything was wonderful, cooked and seasoned to perfection. We truly enjoyed our evening and our meal. We've been to B44 before, and undoubtedly we'll be there again. Highly recommended!

Their tapas are well executed and can easily cost a whole lot more in other SF restaurants. Surprisedly, their french dishes were a bit off, maybe just the dish that we ordered. It's a great and affordable place to have lunch or dinner. Extra star for having meal here with our two very well behaved dogs in their outdoor seating area.
