    We are 4 of us for dinner, I enjoyed the perfect cut and precisely cooked Japanese wagyu. The special truffle soup was fantastic. The table manager was so kind and great to make us tonight very special. One of our member didn’t like some kind of aged beef, the table manager did his best to make us feel happy. Even though it want not his fault. I do really appreciate the restaurant and manager and the staffs ! We enjoyed food and appreciate the excellent service.

    Had my early Christmas lunch with my husband today at LB. It’s our yearly tradition. We both ordered the beef bourguignon, one of their classic dishes, which is consistently fantastic. Service was friendly, pleasant, and professional. We love this restaurant. My other favorite dish is their Niçoise salad. Best in the Bay Area!
