One Market Restaurant opened in 1993, and was a big event marking star chef Bradley Ogden’s return to the City. We have not been back in probably 10 years, so it was time to try it again. It recently got awarded One Michelin star. We visited One Market for Lunch and sat in the bar area.
Decor, Vibe – Modern corporate business-like wood panel decor. Fairly crowded with lots of business people on their power lunch.

Picks:
Roasted Pear Salad ($12) pt. reyes blue, frisée, candied walnuts was a really good salad and looked great but was pretty tiny. The greens were fresh, walnuts were tasty, and the blue cheese was strong.
Roasted All-natural Half Chicken ($16.25) with braised cipollinis, chicken jus was a pretty healthy sized portion. Chicken was very tender and the chicken just was perfect. It is hard to get excited about chicken, but this was pretty good. The chicken came with nothing else but a small onion.
Olive Oil Poached Local Black Cod ($26.50) with summer beans, cherry tomato, basil, olive oil emulsion looked beautiful and melted in ones mouth.
OK:
Roasted Summer Squash ($7.75) wild fennel pollen had decent quantity but could have been cheaper. It was cooked well and had a little more butter than I would prefer.
Pans:
None
Service was above average but not overly attentive. Prices are pretty high for lunch, making dinner an even more expensive proposition. Quality of the food was surprisingly good. It is time to give an old timer like One Market Restaurant more consideration when choosing where to dine.

December 10, 2011 at 4:56 amOne Market Restaurant has horrible robotic service and poorly trained waitstaff. Do not come here unless you want to be treated like a peasant, and made to wait. Given their reputation and cost, I would expect so much more from One Market and highly recommend that you look elsewhere for fine dining experiences in San Francisco.
Long story short, my company had a 40 person event at this restaurant last night. I am suffering from a chronic cough so my girlfriend and I both personally asked at least four off the waitstaff numerous times to bring me some tea. It took these incompetents over 12 minutes to bring me some hot water as I sat coughing up a lung. 12 minutes for water and tea leaves??
I would never come here again, either as a patron or as a guest.
