    Got the Butchers Board and OMG everything was soooo fire. Best steak I’ve had in awhile. Perfectly seasoned and cooked to the exact perfect temperature. The lamb and octopus was perfect as well! Mac and cheese was awesome and the calamari was crispy and delicious. Cocktails and food pair seamlessly and definitely would come back just for drinks and the vibe. The ambiance is perfect for a date night or meeting up with a few friends. Kind of a smaller restaurant but the vibe, food, drinks, and staff are so excellent you don’t even notice. 100/10 recommend everyone to stop by and try this fantastic restaurant. I’ll be back soon!

    The food was not as good as it was on my last visit there about 6 months ago. Too much cost cutting has hurt the quality of food. Steak was not as good and salad was 95% aruguka, Goat cheese, walnuts, apples were had to find.

    Intimate and warm ambiance. Food and service were incredible! Enjoyed a perfectly cooked rib eye, delicious mushrooms and creamy mashed potatoes. Wine list was extensive and had great prices.

    Great quality of food, vibe, service, and atmosphere. I had a reservation but since the restaurant was very busy it took us a while to get seated. Due to this, we were served champagne while we waited. My boyfriend and I were very pleased with this act of service, it really is the little things that can enhance your experience. Would definitely return!

    Food was proportioned well and seasoned to perfection. Probably the best steak in SF easily. The music was LOUD. I guess they had a dj that night. Service could have been a little better but nonetheless it's worth coming back.
