• Contemporary American • Noe Valley
Booked 9 times today
We serve food that, more often than not, accesses that part of our deepest soul where genuine expression can flow forth. We have always tried to give our food and service our best selves, as honest and vulnerable as we can muster. We strive to be a place where you might actually have a real connection; maybe with your server, maybe with your food or maybe with your possibly gracious host who is ACTUALLY glad you’re there. Oh, you wanted a restaurant description? Sorry. Can’t really help you there. We’re not so big on labels. Our food is hard to nail down as we are constantly evolving and entirely seasonal and personal. We’ve used “Food you eat” as a tag line on occasion and that remains accurate. We could also describe it as “Food we really want you to eat”. When you’re here, tell us what you would call it.

    So sorry I do not remember our server’s name, because he provided amazing service. In fact, all the staff we interacted with were amazing. The food was more than delicious, it was mouthwatering. View of the bay is spectacular! Oh yes, he asked if we were celebrating any special occasion. We were out celebrating a birthday and anniversary. He surprised us with two tasty brownie bites. Trust me, dine here and you will not be disappointed.

    Though I appreciated the thematic ambience, it was just a little too dark. I had to use my flashlight to read the menu and couldn’t see my food as well as I would have liked. The food was very good, some outstanding even. Especially the birriadillas. The service was a bit amateurish considering the prices. The server and busser had to be stopped on no less than 4 occasions from taking away our drinks/plates that we weren’t finished with yet. Once was forgivable. Four times was downright annoying. Not sure if I’m done yet? Ask!
