This is a great place to people and dog watch on a beautiful SF day - especially if you make it to happy hour and sit in the parklet! I've heard the mussels are good (can't eat - allergic) and the steak tacos are a nice bite. Service is friendly and the place is very clean and modern. The owners are very good at remembering people which is a bonus! If you're visiting from out of town make sure to ask how to avoid the steepest of the hills. :)

Been here twice now and both my experiences were very pleasant. I love the cute and cozy vibe of this place. The food is amazing!! Standouts are the mussels and sea bass. The wings are also so flavorful and delicious. The brussel sprouts are a must order. Service is great. Everyone is so friendly and attentive. You probably wouldn't go wrong with any thing you order here.

Went on a Monday for lunch, location is excellent, two blocks south of Nob Hill and two blocks west off of Union Square. Clean and welcoming restaurant with spacious seating inside and out. Decor was simple Very please with all three meals. The chicken was tender and cooked perfectly, salad was fresh and appealing to the eye. Meals were healthy portionsThe cocktail menu looked amazing and will be back for one another evening. Service was pleasant, quick and attentive when needed to be.

Before hitting the Regency for a Sango concert this last Friday night my friend and I stopped in at Aliment. It was past busy, with a large party of about forty people in the back being served an array of cocktails, all tables in the front seating area were taken, and we were asked if we had a reservation. So, I say make a reservation here if going on the weekend. After a little more than five minutes my friend and I were sat at the bar, ordering cocktails but being told that the bartenders were catching up on a large order of cocktails for a large party. From their mocktail menu I ordered the Mock Trail. It was sparkling and perfectly flavored with ginger and turmeric for me. If you find ginger and lemon juice to be refreshing, try this. However, I do hate their straws. I get it I get it, save the turtles. I still hate the straws, but I live to see another day. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place deciding between the flank steak salad and the wild mushroom fettuccine. Having to choose is criminal, but I opted for the steak salad and my friend ordered the fettuccine with steak, medium. I, for one, loved my salad. Arugula has that peppery taste that is paired perfectly with steak, so I knew it would be a pleasant salad but I do have one bone to pick. My steak, though done medium well, was just a bit too charred for my taste. However, the Parmesan cheese and balsamic helped to soften the strong flavor of the char. I never want that type of char on a steak again though. The fettuccine was creamy, hearty and warm to the bone. We also ordered the Parmesan truffle fries and they are so delicious. To be frank, they remind me of the Patatas Bravas from 620 Jones down to the sauce they're served with. It isn't a matter of who did it first, but man, I love truffle anything and these fries were savory. Couldn't keep my hands out of the basket. Overall the ambiance is very busy, but the staff is friendly, inviting and attentive.

My friends and I came here before a show at the Masonic. One thing I noted is that they seemed overbooked and completely frazzled when checking people in. They kept telling people the only option was outside (where it was freezing) or to wait, which is what they told us at first, despite us having a reservation and a table being open at the entrance, but inside (in fact, when we made the reservation just 4 hours earlier, they had a staggering amount of availability for any time we wanted!). It leads me to believe that they either overbook or seat walk ins without thinking about the actual reservations. After about 5-10 minutes of them trying to figure things out, we were seated inside. This alone left me feeling not great, as I wouldn't want to come here and not know if I actually have a seat despite a reservation. We ordered drinks and decided to share food: *Brussels sprouts *Chicken wings *Mussels *Fries *Tempura shrimp I think because they were frazzled, the service was a bit odd in that it took a very long time to get our drinks (a good 15-20 minutes), and then the food came out right at the same time. The food was mostly good and to me, the shrimp, wings and sprouts were the highlight. The mussels weren't great - not bad, just not my favorite.

Great ambiance and very accommodating. We were scrambling for our reservation and made a few changes and they were patient with us. We needed a place for a not so big group of 6. And being the first ones there, I decided to order a cocktail and an appetizer , and it came rather quick. Fast not sacrificing quality. Had an amazing cocktail and I loved their fries. The rest of the food was pretty good as well.

Didn't get to visit Aliment but we had them cater for an event at a different location and they brought their sliders- SO GOOD. There was a good variety of sliders, with juicy patties, and a bun to match. After getting to try them, they are definitely on my list of places to visit on my next visit to SF!
