Place was a little too quiet with almost no other diners and a little dark. Appetizer (empanadas) was decent but nothing special, Orzo salad decent but nothing special, entrees were a bit better (Portobello Mushroom Burger & Salmon). Passionfruit Mousse for desert probably the highlight dish of the night. But the for the prices expect a lot more, can't say it felt like good value and wouldn't go back.

Dear Devin, Thank you for your review and for highlighting the dishes you enjoyed, especially the Passionfruit Mousse! We’re glad the Portobello Mushroom Burger and Salmon were also a hit. I’m sorry to hear that the ambiance felt too quiet and dark, and that the pace of service didn’t meet expectations. We typically stay quite busy, but occasionally slower nights do happen, and I appreciate your understanding that we can’t always control traffic. We’ll definitely keep working to improve both atmosphere and service, even during quieter times. I’d love for you to give us another chance to deliver a better overall experience. Thank you again for your feedback! Best, Raf Owner

We had a very nicely prepared omelette with fresh avocado, and shared an exceptional slice of cheesecake drizzled with this lovely Thai inspired sauce. The mango mimosa hit the spot as brunch favorites go. Relatively new eaterly just off the main Noe Valley drag.
