    Been a customer here for over 50 years. Nott hensame owners but original Joes in SF knows their clients. They improved the ambiance at Westlake Joe's but the food remains the star. Burgers on the sourdough, stellar. Wish the fries were still steak cut though. Salads were yummy and ample in size. Just go and enjoy the Italian we grew up with in the SF Beach area.

    Our favorite restaurant in San Francisco. Whenever we’re in town we come multiple times. We ALWAYS leave happier than when we came. The food (try the pork chop, if it’s on the menu, with a glass of Pinot noir), service and vibe are consistently rave worthy. NOPA is the very definition of what a restaurant should be and is - gracious hospitality and delicious food in a wonderful setting. We’ll be back! Thank you.

    We loved the experience! We went with 4 people, everyone was very happy with their food as it was all interesting, creative and delicious! Service was spot on, great ambience though pretty noisy. It's not cheap, we spent 100 dollars per person including the tip for a shared appetizer, an entree and one drink (no dessert ). It was well worth it and we'll surely come back.
