    We came to Tsar Nicoulai with hopes of buying some caviar, but left with excellent information on how to pick the best-tasting caviar and what to look out for. The person at the register was generous enough to let us try out a few varieties before we made our final purchase. We came hoping for golden osetra caviar, which we previously enjoyed in many fine-dining restaurants. However, he recommended we try out a cheaper variety that had more consistently good batches (The Reserve). It was exactly what we hoped for - slightly salty and almost buttery flavor and texture. The tin came with all the accouterments you need to enjoy it - chives, eggs, creme fraiche, and blini! I highly recommend going to the counter and purchasing caviar here - whether you are new or a seasoned aficionado. You will probably learn something new and get some great caviar to boot! The only thing missing is some potato chips and a non-metal spoon (both of which we got at a nearby shop)

    This place had me at Caviar Flight :) Located in the Ferry Building where we took respite on a Saturday farmers market. Very small space, not great for large groups or group size over 4. The hubs and I had the Traveler Flight for $129 which included: Baerii and Osetra caviar sustainably farmed in Greece. It was presented on ice with homemade blini & accoutrements. Of course we ordered Champagne to further enhance this experience. I loved that we were able to try caviar from Greece. Typically, we only have local caviar available. Loved the presentation and the entire experience. Will be back again.

    Great Experience!! While on a recent visit to San Francisco, a friend introduced me to Tsar Nicoulai Cafe! I found everything at Tsar Nicoulai to be exceptional from the food to the service. Our server, Alex, provided great service and gave us a few recommendations. We had a few questions and he was pleasant and answered them. He recommended The Local which included a choice of two caviars. We took his recommendation and we both enjoyed it. It's pricey, however, very much worth spending and treating yourself.

    I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place while walking around the Ferry building. We came close to closing and were afraid we wouldn't get the chance to try this place but the gentleman took us in. The service was excellent we had an amazing caviar experience. We went for the local caviar flight. Let me tell you the caviar was delicious we really enjoyed it very much. I love it with the blinis and all the toppings. It is a kid friendly spot. The customer service was top notch.
