The SF Symphony is a great family venue.I’ve had date night here with my wife for a tribute to Aretha Franklin, taken my son for here for Radiohead Vs Brahms, and taken my girls here for a Charlie Brown Christmas.The crowd is friendly, the place is clean, and the shows are great.My only knock is the gradual deterioration of SF itself. It gets progressively dirty on every visit. It’s impossible to walk around without smelling urine or seeing people using drugs on the streets. I hope there is some leadership to fix this growing problem. Someone stole our side view mirror off our car on our previous visit.

The venue is just impressive. Sound is equally distributed no matter where you sit. From the terrace you can enjoy the view of San Francisco City Hall and new down town.

SF symphony is my sanctuary. Their music melts all my stress from work and the day-to-days, and just purifies my soul. A city is not a city without its own orchestra. And we are so lucky to have the world renowned SF Symphony right here in town. SF will be a much less attractive place without its presence. Wish more young people could develop a good taste for classical music too!

Saw Seth MacFarlane for New Years Eve. Enchanting experience, the staff was very friendly, except the older woman who didnt like my cleavage staring me down. We loved there was a bar upstairs for the loge seating.

Davies Hall is a decent, if not world class small concert hall. Its impressive from the outside, but slightly meek inside. We were there to listen to the symphony, but the dated decor and exorbitantly priced day old sandwiches detracted from the experience. Thing is: theyre the only game in town, so theyve had no reason to improve. I hope they get one.

It is cozy and classy. The event was well organized and the acoustics were great

Every year my family attend the holiday concert and Chinese new year concert. Both are friendly for little kids. Movies at the symphony is another good way to introduce live symphony to little ones. Currently little mermaid is playing and I highly recommend it. I included some pictures from the web.

Unique experience Id definitely want to do again! Jurassic Park with the symphony accompanying the movie as its soundtrack was incredible to witness.

Among the nation’s top 5 symphonies! They never disappoint. And symphony hall is the perfect acoustical space...you could hear a pin drop on center stage from anywhere in the audience.

My review of the San Francisco Symphony is biased because I havent visited many symphonies and I saw a movie screening instead of a classic show. The atmosphere and sound quality were phenomenal. I highly recommend, although you may never enjoy watching a movie as much after that experience!

What a beautiful building. The sound was impeccable and the seats are positioned such that one can see even over very tall people. I had a lovely evening.

The SF Symphony is one of the premier symphonies in the world and their program for public school children is phenomenal. It is heartwarming to see an institution like this one stop to give back to its community and try to develop future classical music enthusiasts.

I took my grandchildren here for the Charlie Brown Christmas event. It was very fun for them, and they were able to stay quiet for the whole program. They loved the christmas tree decorations and I got a Snoopy stuffed animal for each one of them. The San Francisco symphony and chorus were very entertaining and wonderful.

This is a beautiful hall, a perfect match with the wonderful orchestra that lives there. Don’t pass up a chance to take in the views from the upper level exterior balconies (seemy photo)

We have seen many wonderful concerts at the San Francisco Symphony. Every seat is wonderful sound even if you cant see all of the orchestra.

It has been a few years since I have been to the symphony but it didnt disappoint as a classic entertainment experience! This evenings performance featured a guest conductor and a 2 piano concerto. The Davies Symphony hall is excellent with some nice balcony seating overlooking the stage. Parking was peffect right next door at the Performing Arts garage. Be sure to order you drinks for intermission when you get you drinks before the start. Ours were on a small table by the windows with our name on it. No waiting and straight to drinking!! Great experience!

The SF Symphony is just something all San Franciscans should be so proud off. We saw Megan Hilty and Cheyenne Jackson. Both of which we adore.

What a fun time. Great show. Too short but probably just right for the kids. The after party was great also. Kids are just so much fun.

Great acoustics. Amazing concerts.

Great acoustics, great location, not overwhelming in size, and tickets that are often available at a reasonable price.

We went here with the Rosa Parks Elementary School and all of the children had a good time, it was well organized to accommodate the multiple schools that were invited. Rudolph, Santa, Frosty and the Grinch showed up! Fun Time

One of the best known concert halls in San Francisco Bay Area. Huge space with great acoustics. I did wish the audiences seating were more spacious and less cramped. Almost all the world renown musicians and orchestras have performed here if they do come to Northern California. Just went to Andreas Schiffs All Schuberts program last night and sat at first tier, it was one of the most inspiring concerts I have ever attended and the sound of the music was impressive even at this high altitude! LOL! Impressive repertoire 80 minutes in the first half non-stop and another 70 minutes with 2 encores after intermission! Absolutely amazing!

A trip to San Francisco would be greatly enhanced if u get the chance to attend their symphony. The symphony building/hall acoustic is awesome. The ambience is fabulous, the staff are great, prices are very reasonable n the orchestra playing was phenomenal

SF Symphony is unequivocal. The special programs are the best. This visit was particularly special as I was with a friend who really knows music.

The symphony is such a pleasant place to go anytime Friday night Saturday night Sunday afternoon. We always leave with such a calming feeling.

Very impressive! Beautiful with sense of peace.

A treasure of SF this orchestra offers a wide variety of events. Worth keeping up to date with their schedule. A truly gifted conductor makes this a wonderful experience.

Best band evah!

Wow this place was stellar. There was good energy and great music.

Went to see Mariachi Sol De Mexico. This was a great concert. I have been here a couple of other times and the sound quality is amazing. I recommend this venue for any music lover.

Perfect and a good place to go alone or accompanied. I loved every moment of the show. Well, organized place with lots of people to help find your chair.

Such a beautiful spot - I recommend coming 30-40 minutes before the start of the show to hang out in the hallway outside the theater. It has an amazing view of city hall and van ness.

Enjoying the best of classical music at the SFS, Handels Messiah. View of SF City Hall from the SFS balcony.

Went for a medical school graduation and loved it! Beautiful inside, comfy seats, well kept and clean. Elevators to upper floors, but not that many wheelchair seating areas that I could see. Depending on venue, serves drinks in the lobbies and have lobby tables to sit at. Good view of stage from all seats! Easy parking right up the street, a bit pricey at $18.

Saw a great concert here. Amazing space. Great acoustics and impressive musicianship from the orchestra.

Been going here with my children fpr over 15 years, was a little shorter this year but they had to perform many times that day. They performed atleast 3 times for an hour each. Very good, never disappointed with the music

First timer experiencing cine-symphony with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The live symphony adds so much expression to the movie as I was never impressed with any movie adapted from novels. However, the symphony cinema is refreshing and mind blowing, renewed and fused my auditory and visual senses, creating a different level of enjoyment! Parking was convenient and seating comfortable. Looking forward to the next sensory enjoyment at SF Symphony!

Youll enjoy every second!Perfect location, perfect music, perfect scene and perfect acoustic!

The symphony has a wonderful tradition of hosting a free concert for non profit organizations volunteers. First Exposures generously extended tickets to me and my mentor. The concert was fabulous.

The hall is beautiful, the symphony is wonderful, and they always have such interesting performances.

Absolutely stellar. A wonderful mix of people, fantastic performances, and really anywhere you sit the acoustics are perfectly nice, though there are some sweet spots that sound excellent.

A must so in your life time .. I feel in love with Nick in brass !!

Very clean inside and absolutely stunning interior design. Comfortable seating and good views from every seat.

I love the building and loved watching/listening to the Orchestra play. Its also a good place to go for a field trip.

We love going to the symphony, which can be super affordable. They often host concerts and encourage people to bring young kids, especially for movies such as The Snowman. Practically every seat is a good spot, literally.

I dont blame people for thinking the Symphony---or Operas, Shakespeare plays, etc---are only for hoity-toity rich people who want to imagine themselves as representing the height of sophisticated high-brow culture, because thats kinda the image that has been cultivated for so long. But to be honest, it truly shocked me to learn that Shakespeare was written for the common people just as much as sophisticated folk.Just as shocking to me was when I learned of how the modern Symphony is for common people as well. Ever since I learned that they have performances based on famous and popular Hollywood movies (Jurassic Park, Close Encounters of the Third Kind), video games (Final Fantasy), sci-fi franchises (Star Trek), and other significant pieces from popular culture, it has helped change the image in my head of what the Symphony could be.But most importantly, the best reason to go to the Symphony is to actually EXPERIENCE the music. Its one thing to hear the music digitally reproduced on a movies audio track... its something completely different to hear it live. The power and majesty of a finely tuned orchestra adds a level of sophistication that all forms of musical art deserves, regardless of whether it was intended for the rich and powerful or the poor and proletariat.In the end... you can only ever see something for the first time once in your entire life. I realize how obvious that sounds... but its more like, if there is ever a time to see the San Francisco Symphony for the first time, that time is now.

Went to the box office (Grove St side) ... this is the ONLY WAY to buy tickets ... DO NOT BUY TICKETS FROM THEIR WEBSITE - YOU ARE DIRECTED TO A 3RD PARTY WEBSITE ... I saved $200 on 2 tickets by going to the box office ... I asked about the huge price difference between the box office and their website ... the agent told me that they have been having problems with the redirect and cant seem to solve it ... he told me there is NO SERVICE CHARGE for buying at the box office, and only a $12 PER ORDER charge on their website ... the 3rd party website charged $25 PER TICKET as a service charge, also would only give the row for the selection and would only give the actual seat numbers AFTER PURCHASE ... BEWARE!

Its as magical as I remembered from my days as a youth..Just like my previous times attending the symphony, I am not afraid to admit that i wept at a few pieces that was performed there.. the night i went was the 50th anniversary of US Landing On The Moon so they played ALL THE GREAT SPACE MOVIE SONGS..Go dress down some and experience something besides the usual..

Best sounding concert hall on the west coast.

Finally made it to the Symphony and incredible happy I did. We saw John Williams, it was a fantastic show. Seamless experience. Didnt feel too crowded either.

Its difficult not to be blown away by the ST symphony. The music will obviously depend on what show you decide to see buy whatever it is Im sure it will be worth while.Theres a wide variety of people who attend and dress in everything from jeans and a t-shirt to the finest attire. I absolutely love it and recommend anyone visit!

I recently caught a Brahms x Radiohead concert there and it remains one of the most beautiful venues in the city. Obviously, you’re going to see a specific type of show, but if you love classical music (or jazz, on occasion), I absolutely recommend. The sound quality is incredible and the show selection is always great.

Love it. One of my favorite things. Its so nice to hear the music.

My wife and I visited Davies Symphony Hall for a Lang Lang recital. The view and acoustics were great from our seating location at 1st Tier Section F. My wife, who plays piano, could see Lang Langs precise hand movements through binoculars from our seats. There were bars and restrooms conveniently located at each level. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and venue very much.

I have a student who plays in the youth symphony. I’ve seen 4 of their performances and was blown away by each. Great selections of music and I don’t even like classical

Always an incredible experience! Most recently we enjoyed the Jurassic Park night. The symphony plays the music to the movie for a spectacular show!

Went and saw the Little Mermaid with my daughter! Great seats! If you preorder your drinks before the performance, they have them waiting for you so you dont have to wait in line. Awesome!

This is a great place to go to after or before a show at the War Memorial Opera House or Davies Symphony Hall. Good, deli-style food and great desserts.

Beautiful hall with a beautiful organ. Musicians were incredible.

Easy to find parking. The hall has great acoustics

My friend and I enjoyed a great concert here. The concert hall has a fantastic sound effect!

Youth symphony orchestra was simply FANTASTIC! Beautiful playing. If you closed your eyes youd never know the musicians were aged 12-20. So proud to see and hear those young highly talented people play so brilliantly.

Um ok so personally i think it was interesting and an amazing experience

Orchestra, one of the best in the world. Great acoustics. Comfortable seats. Pride of the City.

I love going to this symphony - works class! The best shows feature newcomers and classics in my opinion.

Amazing acoustics! Well definitely be back for future performances.

I attended a kids concert with my son, I just loved it.

The gift shop had some cool sfo tees

David Symphony Hall continues to grow with San Francisco. The neighborhood initially started out to be a little dysfunctional but over the years many more supporting businesses (cocktail bars restaurants etc...) Have populated the surrounding blocks and made for a nice evening out either before or after a visit to the symphony. the San Francisco symphony continues to bring in some amazingly talented musicians and individuals. Its always a good experience at Davies.

Once again, we floated out of Davies Hall, after a perfect performance. Beethoven, Brahms, and Blomstedt!

SFS is a world class orchestra led by Michael Tillson Thomas, presenting a wide variety of classical concerts, primarily at Davies Symphony Hall. The music is wonderful, especially with MTT.

Very nice venue, I look forward to returning someday soon. Great Christmas performance.

Went to Sunday matinee at the same time as one of the pride concerts was happening on the other side of City Hall. On the east facing windows you just hear the music, and of course the Sunday crowd was enjoying the regalia of the pride crowd. While washing my hands in the bathroom I noticed a low tremor in the floor...it kept going... To long for an earthquake. Ah yes, a faint beat from the concert. Had not noticed before. Pretty fun.

It was a fun place the atmosphere was phenomenal how ever I pay yo see India Ire instead we got to see Brian McKnight!!

Program featured North America debut of Aaron Zigmans Tango Manos featuring pianist Jean-Eaves Thibeudet and Camille Saint-Saens Organ Symphony. Zigman piece was a treat- felt like I was watching a movie.

Loved it. So your self a favor and available some culture.

A fantastic music hall, absolutely loved the venue and the show

Watched the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind while the symphony played the sound track. This was a unique experience. The symphony is so very polished. They had the whole audience in the palm of their hand. Great acoustics as well

It was my first time at a Symphony. I loved the whole experience. The San Francisco Symphony Hall is nice, the ticket booth is on Hayes St. We were dropped off by our Uber driver on the opposite side. We didnt buy or pre-order tickets but I did call ahead to make sure they had tickets available for that nights performance. The lady on the phone was nice and very helpful. The building is beautiful on the outside and on the inside its big, with a bar, a mini store and you can go outside on a deck to take in the views of the city. There was an intermission after the first hour, we thought the show had ended, Im glad we saw people going back in amd realized it was an intermission. It was an awesome experience, the symphony had close to 100 musicians it sounded beautiful. A once in a life time experience.

My first time at the symphony and it was incredible. The music was delicious to my ears and the seats were very comfortable. I recommend anyone...it is inspiring!

The seats are comfortable. The acoustics are great. The music, outstanding!

Amazing symphony. Excellent ambience. Must do at least once in your lifetime

The festival was amazing!! These kids are perfect!! Got goosebumps!!

We heard Handels Messiah. The music and singing were glorious. Bravo.

Symphony at Davies so cultivated with an after performance discussion. First rate musicians classical scores makes me appreciate the history of great composers. Elgar violin concerto on my visit. Guess its time for me to take music appreciation.

Casablanca was awesome. Its nice to watch a movie and hear the music live

One of the worlds greatest orchestras, in a very cool building. Make sure to check out the two cantilevered outside balconies to take in the view during intermission!

A amazing, world class experience that is a pure delight to the senses. It is a complete privilege to hear music of this caliber. The San Francisco Symphony consistently proves its well-deserved reputation THE jewel in the crown of the city by the bay with a Golden Gate.

If I could go every week I absolutely would. The experience was incredible and the sound was amazing. I did not expect it to be that much fun and as entertaining as it was. If you are on the fence about going definitely go!

SF Symphony is extraordinary. Great music, and frequent performances with high profile solists! For students, its sometimes possible to get $20 rush tickets for the best seats.

Decor is sort of cheesy - looks like its straight out of the 60s. Red carpet, red walls... Staff likes to complain. But programming is eclectic and well-done. Saw a Debussy, Fauré, and Ravel concert. Excellent adaptation.

Top notch performance. Beautiful venue.

Attended the symphony and loved it.

Symphonic Sounds Streaming through the air into your auricular eardrums, which translates into harmonic sounds that are an experience of a lifetime!

What a beautiful place. Nice acustics.

Davies symphony hall has a truly wonderful mix of amazing talent, inspiring musical programming, and a beautiful location in the heart of San Francisco. I was lucky enough to go to a program featuring Beethovens 5th Symphony and 5th Piano Concerto. I was pleased by the acoustics, the kind ushers, and of course the music. My favorite seats are in the premier orchestra section. All in all, Ive only had enjoyable experiences at the symphony and hope that more people get to experience it.

Im a symphony subscriber, simply because the SF symphysis plays beautiful music. Their musicians are world renowned and the pieces selected each season are delightful. If you are a lover of music, definitely check it out!

Really? The San Francisco Symphony needs a review? Here goes... Come for a cocktail, stay for some music. Two thumbs up.

Went to see A Charlie Brown Christmas . Was not at all what we expected. Instead of seeing the movie with the symphony playing the score, it was music with dancers, only about half of which had anything to do with the show.
