North Box - San Andreas

It is an okay place to eat when going to the ballet but the menu is stagnant and needs to be revamped. The service is generally superb but the food, at best, is passable. I would recommend the North Box Restaurant to first-time attendees but for season ticket holders I would eat there for convenience only...as convenient it is. The staff is most accommodating and helpful while the food is nicely presented it is mediocre...in my opinion.

We came to the North Box expecting a reasonablypriced, delicious dinner, close to Davies but were terribly disappointed. Maybe insiders and frequent guests knew but I certainly didn't know and didn't expect that our meal would be served at room temperature. I found the temperature of the food very unappetizing. Other guests seemed fine with it however.The initial outing of my miniscule strip steak was served rare and cold. I had asked for it med. well. The second offering was cooked more to my liking but still cold.The hastily throwntogether beet salad was also rather diappointing and overpriced.The service was good though.Live and learn

The North Box is NOT the restaurant downstairs at the Opera House; it's upstairs on level by the Box Seats. And they only serve roomtemperature cold food. We had nice salads and a cheese plate, and everything was tasty. The best thing is that you get to keep your table through the intermissions, so we had dessert and coffee waiting for us at the table at the break

Two things you should know You must have a ticket to a perforlnce. Nearby to eat here. Not the ballet but some performance. We had tickets to SF Jazz and had to show our tickets to ne seated. They have no hot food at all — omly salads. And it’s super expensive two salads and one glass of wine was almost without tip. And you’re sitting in a hallway literally. So few places now in civic center but I wouldn’t go back here

This is a nice Cafe for a relaxed bite before performances. I recommend it!Plus, I enjoy having another quick bite at intermission
