    Dinner for two. The excellent service starts at the door with the friendly hosts. About 4-5 persons placed our plates down throughout the night and each of them were so particular, they ensured that the silverware was changed between each course and our glasses were always full. They were open to questions, made suggestions and very patient. We chose our own five courses ($173 each) and everything was good. However, the best items of the night were the glazed oysters, the lobster with mashed potatoes, the seafood risotto, the scallops with Japanese sweet potato and French toast. Those were amazing and if I go back that’s what I’d order again! Other items that we had were the tuna tartare, quail, filet mignon, duck and crème brûlée. They also brought out a happy birthday cake for me at the end. Amazing restaurant, amazing service. One of the top 5 that I’ve been to in terms of food and service.

    Really nice actually. I just went for the red cod tapa plate and a glass of white wine. It wasn't too busy since it was about 5:00 on a Friday evening. I found the ambience to be perfect, although I don't know what it is like when busier. Service was attentive and excellent. Price was what should be expected in San Francisco.
