    All good save the couple at the next table who spilled water all over me and my outer wear. I was surprised by the baptism.

    Will definitely be back- its slightly on the pricey side but really enjoyed the ambience. Would probably suggest a larger group so you can try more of the dishes! My gluten-free companion had lots to choose from and they even adjusted a couple of recipes.

    RUN to eat here. The best meal I’ve had in SF after 7 years. Better than Quince, Rich Table, Osito, Earnest, Saison. I’m not even kidding and yes, I know those are different cusisines. The food is divine. Authentic French food and service (if they liked Americans).

    Really nice experience. Great food and super attentive service. We're on the covered patio, so a little less buzzy than the dining room, so easy to catch up with friends. Highly recommended.
