I stopped in for dinner on a weeknight in January. It was a random selection, I just looked at nearby restaurants as I was walking back to my hotel near Union Square from a long day of walking, museums, etc. The bistro was the perfect escape -- since I arrived around 6pm, it was fairly empty, just a few people at the bar and about 3 or 4 tables of singles/doubles. I ordered a glass of cabernet and it was wonderful, the bartender and waiter were very attentive. The room is very relaxing, this would also be a good place just to stop for a drink. I had the three cheese ravioli with brown butter and tomato compote -- delicious! They bring you a nice basket of sourdough and butter, no charge (I did partake, having done 25K steps worth of walking). Service was great, I would visit again for sure.

Nice little place to grab a quick bite while staying at the hotel. The food is somewhat expensive, but expected when eating at a dining establishment in a hotel. As soon as I sat down, the bartender/server came over to my table with a glass of water and a menu. He was very attentive throughout my meal. I ordered the crispy calamari. It came out in about 5 minutes and was really nice and crispy. Probably the crispiest calamari I've ever had. Almost like fresh pork rinds crispy... which is much better than getting surprised by soggy, rubbery calamari. It was served with lemon and lime wedges. Very good tartar sauce. Might be good if they offered cocktail sauce with it as well, but I prefer mine with just tartar. After eating, I ordered the crème brûlée (as I always do if it's on a menu). It was good, but there wasn't enough vanilla and it wasn't as dense as it should be, but good nonetheless. The eating area is somewhat small and the bar has room for around 8 people. The whole place could fit maybe 30 guests, but during my stay I never saw it full. Wish I had more time to try other food options, they had some good looking ones! Wish I had snapped pictures of the menu because the pictures here on Yelp are very outdated and they no longer have the same menu pictured. Glad they didn't have a mandatory gratuity charge like the Bombay Brasserie did across the hall.

The food is great and the service is even better. We like the breakfast place specially as it offered Indian breakfast as well. The regular restaurant is always busy and takes ever to serve the food. They were clearly short staffed.

I stopped in here because they offered Indian food, which I really like. I had a vodka martini with the Indian chicken dish, and a side of Brussel sprouts. Was really good. The dish had just a hint of spice, which worked out well! I would definitely stop by here again.

Stayed here and hotel service staff was great. They have a nearby parking garage which is the cleanest I've ever seen, especially for SF. Got to the room and it was fine nothing great nothing bad either. I had dinner at the restaurant and while the menu was a little outdated, the preparation was perfect. I had the NY steak that was served with fries and a salad. Great service from the bartender. In the morning I also visited the restaurant and the breakfast menu was really enticing. A nice mix of Indian and American dishes. I had the Desi omelette which was amazing! The restaurant seemed very understaffed unfortunately but that is that state of the industry these days so not fault to them. Overall a nice above average place to stay.

We are so lucky that the hotel had a chef's special menu for the night we were staying at the TAj. This was no doubt the best chicken korma and malabar parantha i ever had!!! Soooo good. The curry leaves and the tadka at the top was soul satisfying!!!!! The chef Mr. George was so humble and nice to talk to. We also had prawns for appetizer- again AMAZING! Being food lovers, eating here was the highlight of our trip! We obviously took extra malabar paranthas because they were perfectly cooked and complimented the korma so well. Ended with mango mousse which was heavenly so we ordered twice Thanks Chef!!! We slept like babies that night after such a happy meal!!!

Michelin stars 26 and 27. Good food and service. I was thinking maybe a bit overpriced, however after an entire day in a work seminar just across the street, I was hungry... and this wasn't just the closest restaurant (just across the street from the Grand Hyatt) but it was also the closest two Michelin star restaurant.

Another place I'm beyond lucky to have visited. Campton place offers mind-bending presentations of Cal-Indian cuisine. The service is commensurate with what one would expect from a restaurant with two Michelin stars while the dishes are small and delicate.we now go to there bar area very often with small appetizer plates on other side of restaurant. Amazing team work and presentation. Highly recommended to everyone!!
