The only eclipse to see is my bloated belly covering up the rising sun. Were talking total eclipse, baby! Eclipse Breakfast Buffet/ $28.95 During my business trip to San Francisco, my stay at the Hyatt Regency included breakfast buffets at Eclipse Kitchen & Bar. Located in the worlds largest hotel lobby, Eclipse Kitchen & Bar boast seasonal, locally-sourced food on their menu. This includes cage-free eggs, hormone free milk & naturally cured bacon. Being in a hotel lobby, a high price tag is du rigueur, but at Las Vegas buffet level price of admission, lets see how Eclipse breakfast buffet measures up. Deli meat- Being a highly enthusiastic carnivore, the deli meat were what I gravitated to the most. The prosciutto was mouth-pleasingly tender & the Genoa salami unctuously salty. But, the one I really piled on my plates every morning was the smoked salmon. Sweet, oily & melt in your mouth, I was correct in not bringing fish oil on my trip, as I managed to pack away a pound of salmon to start my days every morning. Another great dish on the buffet line was the baked corned beef hash. I dont partake of corned beef that much, so this was quite a treat. The crumbs on top provided a wonderful crunch with each bite of oily corned beef. Eggs benedict- Cant be considered a fancy breakfast place w/o eggs benedict! These more than held their own, as the eggs were cooked correctly. The usual breakfast buffet suspects were well represented. Steel cut oatmeal, an endless mound of naturally cured bacon, scrambled eggs, huevos rancheros & pastries of various ilk. Dessert options had fresh, seasonal fruit & parfaits. Coffee and/or orange juice are included with the buffet. I simply chose seltzer water w/ lime, as OJ gives me GI problems. Service was good. The buffet was constantly stocked with food, and our plates were cleared in a timely manner. Plenty of seating, which I usually chose by the food. Hey, easy access! The Eclipse Kitchen & Bar is located in the lobby of the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero. While I enjoyed the food & service at Eclipse Kitchen & Bars breakfast buffet, at almost $30 before tax & tip, I wanted more. Granted, its in a swanky hotel, but Id have expectations for more swanky eats for the pricepoint. Im glad it was included with my stay, as I didnt go hungry. In fact, I probably ate enough calories for 3 people after each meal.

Was staying at the hotel and ate at the Eclipse and their sister cafe The Market. Food for the most part was good. Prices a bit high but you are in a hotel Eclipse Kitchen & Bar - Had breakfast buffet twice. I do not eat pork and they were able to accommodate me by having these delicious chicken sausages made to order. Dinner- I had been here before and thought the small plates were good. This time not so much. We had a bit of everything. Things to note: Chicken wings tasted frostbitten. The sauced covered it a lot but the taste was still there. There was also a piece of hair in the second order of pot stickers. Ruined how delicious it was. Everyone enjoyed the pizza and shrimp though. The Market - Had room services two times from here. First time, turkey sandwich, matzoh ball soup but broth was more of a consomme, not very hardy. Would not order again. Second time, 2 orders spaghetti and meat balls from kids menu, grilled cheese and some other things. It was tasty. Craved the spaghetti the last night. Found hair in my spaghetti and got a tummy ache after. For a pregnant woman, this was worrisome. Their kitchens, I assume, are shared. They should reevaluate how hair is covered.

I feel like this is a bit of a hidden secret in this part of town that may only be known by some of the professionals in the area. Its not exactly a "bar" environment because you are in a hotel but the 20 story high lights that are above you really do add to the decor. There are pretty decent snacks and wines here, as well as happy hour deals. Its definitely a nice escape from the tightly crammed bars where it can be hard to get a table.

I had a salad and a few fruity cocktails, and I really enjoyed all of it. It is a little pricey, but certainly not overly so when compared to most hotel bars. The staff is the best part of this bar - they are so friendly and fun to talk to, and theyre extremely willing to accommodate any request.

Dont go there for cocktails or any drink more "sophisticated" than a rum and coke. The wait staff has no idea what they are serving, even if your stay with the small number of drinks on the menu. In my case they tried to serve me a 20yr aged bulleit whiskey.

Burger was standard hotel fare. Strawberry shortcake was below average consisting of two little cookies and fruit (and the topping from the Tiramisu). However, the service was excellent.

Seating is inexplicably uncomfortable, favoring style over function. If you want a $17 turkey sandwich that you have to eat with a knife and fork this place is for you.

Absolutely horrible service, poor management. I have no other explanation for awful ineptness of this establishment. Please, do not make reservations here.

To be avoided. Disappointing food, slow service. Alright for drinks if you stick with beers and simple stuff.

Good food. A bit pricey for what you get, but its good for a hotel restaurant.
