I booked the mezzanine for a special birthday, and it will be a memory to look back on. I would call the space “rustic modern” with the wood features and curved lines. The food was beautiful, perfectly balanced in flavor and just gorgeous in presentation.

They have the best soul food in San Francisco. They are catfish is phenomenal, and their collard greens and cabbage are the best anywhere. I always get an extra order of cornbread when I go there because it’s a great way to start a new day with coffee.

I was pleased with the level of service and the food quality. We ate around 1:30 pm so it was quiet and peaceful, and we were able to engage in a normal volume conversation. I have visited this restaurant several times and each time, I have been pleased with the food quality and service, even though the service does not come with a smile or conversation. But service is efficient.
