    So, the whole experience was average. We ordered the "made at your table" guacamole as an appetizer. Well, it took so long that we received our order before our appetizer was even ready. Also, since I do not drink alcohol, I asked if they served soda or tea or lemonade, since none was listed on the menu. He said they did, so I asked him for a lemonade. He brought me a Coke, which I just accepted. That being said, they did comp me a dessert.

    Hi Carlos, and thank you for writing, We reply on our guest feedback, and appreciate ypur honesty. We apologize that it took so long for your guacamole to arrive the night you dined with us. When we are very busy, we sometimes do get backed up, and this is what happened for your table. We were happy to host you to a dessert for missing out on our guacamole. Hoping to see you during the holiday season. Cheers, Deborah Newman

    The room is interesting and the menu is varied so it’s a good place to take SF visitors. However, last night was disappointing. We were seated 25 minutes after our reservation time. It took another half hour to order. A gin martini was made with lemon vodka and was replaced with gin infused water. On the balcony there was an Indian dance demonstration with drumming. (Who thought that was a good idea?) After ordering things settled down although the food was mediocre and given the choices for restaurants in SF too expensive. I’m taking it off the visitor list.

    Hi Eric, We are sorry you did not enjoy your experience with us. We rely on guest feedback and will share yours, with our team. You came to dine with us on a very busy night!! I am hoping the hosts served you champagne while you were waiting. The drumming was our annual "Lightning Boy" gala that had a 7-minute performance in our mezzanine. Our cocktails are always fantastic and made with premium ingredients. We apologize that you did not enjoy your drink. Thank you for taking the time to reach out. Kindly, Deborah Newman
