    Amazing choice!! Very local, San Francisco feel. Built into a beautiful Victorian with amazing ambience, this restaurant celebrates that neighborhood feel. The food was phenomenal and the service was very elevated. Can’t wait to go back!

    Amazing! everything was delicious and tbh the sampler board had more than enough food and essentially fed us 2 whole plate servings each. We ate there and then had plenty of leftovers. My husband said that they made the best Cadillac margaritas that he has ever had ( btw he has been drinking them for years on end) Overall 10/10 but make sure u have your coins ready if u get the sampler($340).It feeds up to 4 ppl, but because it was my hubby’s Birthday he deserved to be treated as a king.

    Disappointing brunch menu -- extremely limited selection, no starters available besides french fries. I'd recommend going for dinner instead.

    A bit too dark, if the lamps were a bit brighter would’ve been great. I don’t like that they seated us next to the bathroom. Prime rib was not all that it was decent . The lobster Mac and cheese was delicious. Wagyu burger was a bit dry. Service was nice.

    Great food, great service, however it was extremely loud which made the experience difficult to enjoy. The music was very loud, you can hear people screaming to talk to each other nearby. I could barely hear my food.

    We were seated near the back, which was very close to the restrooms and the kitchen. We were also seated where the bigger parties where taking place, so it was very loud. Made the dining experience more chaotic as there were people walking by and talking loudly nonstop. Didn’t like where we were seated, but the food was amazing. The calamari was good, but not amazing; tastes the tiniest bit fishy to me. I got the 16oz steak and my boyfriend got the lamb chops, and both had an amazing crisp exterior and juicy inside. I really enjoyed the chimichurri, and the aioli with the lamb chops was also delicious. Only thing is it comes with such a small portion of potatoes; wish there were more than 2 for the price.

    We reserved a party of 3 for a bday dinner on a Saturday night at 5:45. The host had no problem pushing our time to 6:00 bc we were running late. Every aspect was wonderful! We were aware of previous reviews stating issues with noise, service and inconsistent food. We thoroughly enjoyed all food and drinks. Our service was prompt, friendly and professional. It’s a tighter dining room layout and the ambiance was on point! We were able to talk and didn’t feel it was too noisy. Great dining choice if you’re looking for an energetic vibe.
