    Ricardo was very welcoming and informative when we inquired about dinner. When we returned to dine, David was our server who was very knowledgeable and made some great suggestions. We ordered: Pumpkin Burrata Salad - delicious. Mom fell in love with the burrata Duck Soup - what yummy twist to a Chinese classic wonton noodle dish Burger - son thoroughly enjoyed Pork Shank - OMG! Star of the show. A must get! A great evening all around!

    everything was as it should be, and as expected. the physical space is amazing - it must have cost several fortunes to create it. the spiral staircase with bronze totem is a thing to marvel at. one odd thing: one of our waiters asked us several times, 'is everything treating you ok?' or, 'how is everything treating you?' funny that we should remember that, but it is an odd question to get from a waiter. it's neither good nor back, just odd. we would not hesitate to return.

    Fine decor and helpful service. The kitchen is slow/uncoordinated and food arrived cold. Better venue for cocktail hour than full dining.

    The best hamburger ever… Service was quite spot on… It has a very urban feel… It feels as if you’re in Manhattan rather than San Francisco… the hotel is exquisite… It feels like the perfect place for a honeymoon

    Hmmm….. Let me start by saying that staff was outstanding! But the rest….. really lackluster. Highlights would have to be the drinks and the duck soup (aka duck wonton soup) but it was waaaay overpriced. The croquettes were nasty. Sorry after coming from Spain they really were. And the short rib skewers were meh. Aesthetics wise, the bar was on point. However, fail on the balance of the restaurant. It really was a Denny’s that basically served alcohol. Won’t return. It was a really sad ambiance.

    Quite possibly the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. Got there with 6 business associates and the place was empty (should have been a warning). Waiter was completely non responsive. Took an hour to get our drinks and some crappy starters. Left to grab some Chinese food at a local joint. Avoid this dump like the plague.

    Prices were high, for example $11 for a kids’ apple juice. Dinner and drinks were decent, but compared to restaurants nearby not especially memorable. I thought the breakfast options were better, with fresh dishes and standard pricing for a nice hotel.

    One of my favorite secret spots in SF for a breakfast or coffee with a friend or colleague, or to hide away alone in between meetings.
