We had lunch and the server and food was nice. What I REALLY appreciate about this place is that they don't add the "Mandatory SF health" BS to the bill (ie they include it in the price). And no mandatory 20%+ tip. Which gets them a nice extra tip. And a nice e review. Thanks Aliment :-)

Buen lugar El fried chicken muy bien debido el cordero muy caro para tan poca porción Chicos atentos, siento que las mesas algo apretadas, me sentaron en una con un ventilador en los pies que resultaba algo molesto

The food was good. Service was ok - very busy night at the bar with no support from other staff. Also loud so not necessarily a great choice if you were/are looking for a romantic dinner.

Excellent food. We had the lamb chops (got 1 extra chop snd then split the order), Brussel sprouts, and mussels. The setting was rather stark and uninspiring, but the service was good.

Excellent friendly service. Good choice of specialty cocktails and wines by the glass, in addition to the food selection. The Wild Mushroom Fettuccine was especially rich and filling. It was our first time here, but we'll be back again.
