What Diners Say

★★★★★ "20250603: Trace is outstanding. I'm staying at the W, and this restaurant is part of it.

★★★★★ "Great spot next to the restaurant. Perfect for any work meetings. You can use the $25 daily credit from the hotel here.

★★★★★ "A great breakfast location right next to SF Moma!

★★ "I came here because of the great Google ratings and was quite disappointed. The latte tasted like it was made from an airport machine and too watery.

I'm staying at the W, and this restaurant is part of it. First night, salmon with muscles and clams over vegetables in pickled lemon juice and broth. For desert, I had a Basque cheese cake.

The latte tasted like it was made from an airport machine and too watery. I got the Tracy omelette ($26!). The toast was cold and stale, the omelette too cheesy and dry, and the potatoes were soggy.
