- GGeorgeVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe had booked a reservation for Christmas Eve a month in advance, but when we arrived we were not seated for 30 minutes past our reservation time. Nevertheless, once we were seated the service was prompt and friendly, and all of the food was delicious. The various vegetable sides were terrific, including the broccolini, the kombucha squash, and the carrots.More infoGjelinaPrice: Expensive• American• Venice•4.7
