Greg was a server and was very nice and attentive. Would check in on us to make sure everything was good. Food is always amazing here. Garret at the bar as well as Blair working. What a great duo and they make such great cocktails. We enjoyed ours at the table. An extra two thumbs up also goes to Jocelyn, who recognizes us although she did not have our table

This was one of the best "occasion" dining experiences which we have had in the Bay Area in a long time. Food was flavorful, interesting and creative and served in a truly elegant and beautiful setting. (Skip the deviled eggs: they were the only exception to a truly fine meal.) Excellent setting for a date, a business meal or, in our case, a special occasion. On par with the finest restaurants in Bay Area but at a lower price point. Really cannot stress how beautiful the design of this restaurant is.
